The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1906-10-20

regard Of the hearthstone. the goodness
OF w~omanhood-it is like that red fool riot
Of Danton and R~obespierre, and a dis
regard for the poo as well as the rich that
dragged down the French capital for
months. All, l would to God that Repre-
sentative Cochran bad not made that riot
and ~rottenness expression. IL doesn't mt
the American people. Applause.
Il have no prejudice against Mr.. COCHRAN
or against that-that-now, what ticket il
that?" asked Uncle Joe, to the great amuse-
ment Of the audience. 1--we no personal
hate, but as my State Is united to New
York by a and OF our other States l have a
right to c~riticise Bourke Cochran and /
have a right to criticise and condemn Will
lam Randolph Hearst" Great applause.
Mr., Cannon then went on TO tell OF national
issues. He told Of the work OF the Admin
istration in the Panama Canal and dwelt
for some time on the passing OF the EN-
ployers' liability bill and other measures
passed by a Republican House. In fact
the greater part Of his two hour speech was
devoted to the work OF the Republican
party and only on the occasions where he
has been quoted did he 60 into State politics
Congressman Oloott then introduced
Congressman James E. Watson Of Indiana,
who said:
For some weeks past l have been travel
ling about the country with Speaker Cannon
and all I wish to say to you now Is that
while | don't know what speeches you have
heard in the past or what speakers you
have listened to o never had or never
perhaps will ever have the opportunity to
hear greater wisdom and sounder advice
thar has fallen from the lips Of this great
man tonight.
If you believe ia these policies, If you
believe this man should preside over the
House Of Representatives in perpetuatlng
the ideas Of Theodore Roosevelt Ithunderous
applausel vote for Congressman that will
keep this great man there Applause.
As Congressman Watson took his seat
Congressman Olcott managed 10 break
through the cheering and introduced a
name that probably provoked the greatest
evening. Amid the cheering a smooth
faced young man strobe to the front Of the
platform, and those who were on the far
sides and rear, who had not heard the intro
duction, turned to their ~neighhors and
asked who the speaker was. They didn't
ha We to wait long for an answer, for a lusty
lunged man in the balcony started the
cheering anew when he roared.
-Hurrah for Herbert Parsons"
When the applause subsidized Congress
man Parsons said:
My instructions were 10 say goodnight,
but on behalf Of the organization in this
county | wish TO make appeal TO all who
have heard this SAN talk this evening 10
do all in their power to show that the people
OF this State are in their sound and sane
senses when they cast their vote on election
day.
I'VE didn't have 20 choose between riot
and ~rottenness. Great applause. We
chose sanity, and we chose the best Cover
nor we can possibly have in Charles f.
Hughes
This brought the crowd to their feet with
a whoop.
Speaker Cannon rema ned on the plat
form until the speaking had ceased with
Mr.. P~arsons's remarks. As he made for
the elevator at the east end of the building
and started to get into his coat, the crowd
surged toward him, and for a time Uncle
Joe's right arm was pumped good and
hard. He was so hard pressed that he
had to bring the left n into play, and with
a keen twinkle in his eye, he turned sharply
every time a feminine hand was thrust
into that left, paw and apologized.
One Of the first to jump up on the plat
form and grasp the Speakers hand was
another son OF minois-Jo W. Gates
He whispered something in the Speaker
ear that those near at hand interpreted
az being Its a cinch."
Speaker Cannon and Congressman Watson
had to catch a train that left at IL 30 O'Clock
and it was a hustle to do SO.
