Brilliant Speeches Made By Gov
ernOr Hughes of New York and
Senator Beveridge of Indiana.
ROOSevelt'S Administration Re-
viewed.

Youngstown, Ohio, Sept. 5.-Ar-
thur Vorys, the original Taft mana
ger, is chairman of the meeting
which formally opened the republic
can campaign in Ohio today. Thou
sands are present from all over the
state, together with distinguished
leaders who have been invited to par
ticipate. Governor Hughes of New
York is the center of interest, and
his speech supporting Taft and as
sailing Bryan is the main feature of
the occasion. The speech of Mr.. Bev-
eridge was a brilliant one and elicit
ed great applause.
The city has spent twenty thou
sand dollars in decoration. AS the
parade passed up the street, headed
| by the distinguished leaers and fol-
lowed by ten thousand millworkers,
there was a continuous, ovation.
Chairman Vorys, in his opening ad
dress, paid high tribute to President
Roosevelt and at its conclusion eu-
logizei Governor Hughes and Sena-
tor Beveridge. He then introduced
Governor Hughes, who was given an
enthusiastic greeting, and who spoke
in part as follows:
THE republican party makes an
appeal to public confidence as the
most important political agency for
conservation and progress. BY vir-

and aims, it stan Is forth as an eff
cient instrument, strong and capa-
! BILE of administration, as the safe
guard of stability and prosperity,
which depends upon stability and as
an unrivaled power for the correction
of abuses.
! 1t stands in striking contrast to the
) record of vacilating and inaptitude
presented by the chief opposing par
! ty. When we hear sounded the stri-
dent call to the defense of popular
rights, we0look to see who constitute
/ the new patriotic army into whose
keeping we are asked to turn over the
destinies of the nation and the cam
paign watchwords SHALL the people
ruler" and the demand Whether
government shall remain mere bus
mess asset of favor-seeking corpora
tions," are not impressive when en-
blazonei on the banners of Tammany
Hall and other essential allies, and
the army opposing us can not pass
muster either as one of defense or of
salvation, and we may well pause
before we permit it to garrison our
institutions.
! Twelve years ago, the democracy
of Tilden and Cleveland was over
thrown in it's own house. Under the
old name but with new alignment and
leadership, a desperate assault was
made upon the credit of the country
and the integrity of private debts and
a campaign of education followed.
Thousands of democrats, more intent
upon the safety of the country than
fidelity to the party name, itself be-
/ trayed, supported the republican or
rather the national cause.
Then ensued a great popular vic
tory and the people ruled in the cleo
ton of William Mckinley. President
Mckinley laid down his life, trusted
and beloved by all the people. Then
came a new leader dear to the peO-
pies heart For seven years, and
( with lofty aim and unconquerable
/ spirit he has labored for the people,
and today by virtue of his sincere de-
votion TO their welfare, his valiant
attack upon evil in high places, the
/ forceful and representative leader is
/ typified to the popular imagination in
| the person of Theodore Roosevelt.
William Jennings Bryan is an elo-
quent critic, but the record of the
republican party is known to all and
the American people will neither be
confused nor misled by adroit thrusts
or pleaders' skill. If all that Bryan
favored during the past twelve years
had been enacted into law, we would
have been overwhelmed with disas-
ter and would regard it our chief
business in the future to find way
of escape from the meshes of ill-con-
! sidered legislation. Bryan says the
democratic platform sis binding as to
