(contlnued from First Pase)

aries between them, so that one shall not entroach upon another.
 "rhere Is no warranU for wholesale de- nunciation of officials. The people must not forget that they themselves are large ly responsible if improper men reach po- stions in the public service and too ire quently the sternest critic is the one who gives the least attention to his civic du- ties In the main, government is honest ly administered.'
 MT cortelyou declared that the day of the boss in American politics is on the wane, expressed his belief in rewarding party service, and opening the door of opportunity to every worthy aspirant for public station, and said:
 Hateful as the domination of the boss has become, there is a tyranny that Is worse than that of any boss-the tyranny Of any Irresponsible clamor to which weak men bow and public officials at times yield their oonsclences and their iudg- ment. Nothing strikes a deadler blow at liberty than the insidious appeals made in her name in times of public excite ment."
 Liberty of the Press.
 The Postmaster General declared there must be liberty of the press everywhere,
 
 lords no warrant for nasty generaliza- tions, or unworthy attacks upon interests or individuals
 "Of late years" he said, there has developed a style of journalism, happily as yet limited in Its scope, whose teach ings are a curse and whose influence Is blight upon the land. Pandering to un- holy passions, making the commonplace to appear sensational, flaming the fires of sectionalism and class hatred, invading the privacy of our firesides, it presents one of the most important of our present problems. These journals of maign intlu- ence must not be regarded as fit exam ples of American journalism. The repre- sentative newspapers are true to its best traditions"
 Touching upon immigration, MT Cor telyou said America is the land of liberty but no liberty to undermine our institu- tons was desirable
 ''Whie this Is a big country" he said, 'it Is not now and may it never be big enough to admit into the ranks of its cit izenship any dsorganlzer of the govern ment. any avoRed or recognized scoffer at our republican Institutions"
 Tribute to Roosevelt
 MT Cortelyou quoted from Lincoln Me- Kiney and Hay regarding public matters in this connection.
 From these leaders who died in the faith we turn to its living embodiment, Theodore Roosevelt. He cherishes the same traditions, he Is actuated by the same high Ideals. He Is fighting as they fought, the battles of good citizenship. By every consideration of loyalty by rec ognition of purity of life, of slngleness of purpose, of splendid grasp of the great questions of statesmanship he is entitled to our unwavering and enthusias- tic support Not for any class or sec ton or race or creed, he is the President of all the people, and we follow where he leads"
