own to avenge against Mckinley or McKinleys government; he was an- swering to the lesson he had learnedsI and it were a service to the interest of mankind to rid the earth of monster. And the foremost of the teachers of these lessons to him and his Kind was and is William Randolph Hearst and his yellow journals. Is there no one left who loved Mckinley? Are there no workingmen left in New York who can- not see with satisfaction honors heaped upon the man who is not gulltless of McKinley's death? The same kind of teaching is being continued noW' month by month and day by day, by Hearst journals. Its legitimate consequence, if continued, must be other weak dupes playing the role of Czolgosz, other Me Kinleys stretched upon the bier; dis cord and bloody strife in place or the reign of peace and order throughout our fair land It is not the spirit ot Wash Iington and of Lincoln; it is the spirit of malice for all and charity towards none; it is the spirit of anarchy, of communism of Kishineff and of Bialy- stok''
 MT. Root urged his auditors to return a majority of republicans in the house of representatives to work with Presi- dent Roosevelt in the next congress. "The evile which have come with the enornous increase in corporation wealth in recent years are real and serious" said he. There have been many outrageous practices which ought to be stopped and many Wrongdoers who ought to be punished. That should be done not by lynch law, but by the intelligent and wise action which bene- fits a seIf-g governing people. Declama- ton and denunciation and big headlines in the newspapers will not do the busi- ness. The thing needed Is to cut out the wrongdoing and save the business. The same kind of patient, experienced, discriminating skill is needed for the process that the surgeon needs in cut ting out a tumor from the human body and saving the life of the patient, Now, this process of intelligent and effective redress of wrongs is going on; great and substantial progress has been made in it; laws are being reformed so as to meet the present evils; laws are being enforced with vigor and success; male- factors are being punished according to law and not against law; skill and wisdom and efficiency and honest pur- pose never surpassed in the history of this or any other country have put their hands to the task and are pressing it forward with untiring energy.
 "The most conspicuous and fit rep resentative of this great and benencent wcrkin this state is Charles D. Hughes. The most conspicuous and fit represen- tative of this same great and beneficent work in the federal government IS Theodore Roosevelt, president of the United States. The honest poor man who has felt the crushing power of un- fair wealth may take heart, for the most powerful personality of our gen. eration from the vantage ground of the greatest office in our land, IS lead- ing the battle in his behalf; the honest rich man who fears that prosperity may be endangered and prosperity checked may calm his fears; not sin gle principle Is invoked in this war fare against corporate wrongdoing that has not for centuries been familiar to .hhe common law of England and Amer ica; but to exercise the same measure of control under the new conditions of our day new agencies and new meth ods have had to be provided by the law and sanctioned by the courts. The structure of our prosperity will not be weakened, 1t will be made strong and enduring by removing with the care of the experienced builder the rotten tinnbers of disobedience to law and dis regard of morality. The republican con- gress has stood Loyalty by the presi- dent The first danger is lest the peo- ple should refuse to return a majority of republicans in the house of repre- sentatives; the second danger is lest in this greatest of states, the presi- dents own state, the voters shall re- feet MT. Hughes, who was the presi- dents choice for the nomination, and should elect to that great office an un- worthy demagogue in the person of MT. Hearst.
 "The immediate and necessary effect of MT. Hearst's election would be to de-
 prive the president of the moral sup port of the state of New York; it would be to strengthen the presidents ene- mics and opponents and to weaken and enlbarrass him in the pursuit of his
 policy. It would inevitably lead to a reaction against all true reform and genuine redress of grievances.
