PRESIDENT PRESIDES
OF the last day the story is one OF
many features The set program was
swept aside. The president presided
throughout. He interjected remarks
and speeches He brought to the plat
form men who made plain the prevail
ing feeling that thought and care must
be exercised for the future The pre-
pared papers were not presented, but
they will be printed in the permanent
record. Their place was taken first by
the declaration" which was adopted
after discussion which brought to light
no serious objection to it's affirmation.
Then William ]. Bryan was presented
by the president. He touched the same
chords which had produced the yibra-
ton Of harmony and cooperation. A
governors discussion brought many
state executives to the platform, but
the product was altogether that of
harmony and the sentiments expressed
were applauded alike by all.
President Roosevelt, himself, answer
ing the one cAticism-that of Governor
Folk of Missouri-to the declaration.
aroused the conference to its warmest
demonstration of approval He swept
aside the academic question" OF where
the line of authority should be drawn
between action, and what he SAID re-
ceived Endorsement at each period. He
said:
Where the policy l advocate can be
carried out best by the state, let it be
carried out by the state; when it can
be carried out best by the nation, let
it be carried out by the nation. MY
concern is not with the academic side
of the question; deal with the matter
from the standpoint of thue popular
interest and therefore my desire is to
employ indifferently either the princi-
pie of state rights or the principle of
national sovereignty, whichever in a
given case will best conserve the needs
of the people"
DECLARATION APPROVED.
The declaration upon which the pres
ident's remarks were predicated was
presented to the conference by Cover
nor Blanchard of Louisiana at the
opening of the session shortly after 10
O'Clock.
The declaration was adopted without
discussion.
The desire of Mrs. Roosevelt to en-
terrain the governors was not thwarted
even by the rain which Iell nearly
throughout the day. A garden party
had been planned by her to be held in
the south grounds of the White House
during the late afternoon. The garden
party was brought inside the White
House and lost none of its zest by the
transformation. More than 800 guests
were present.
