TEDDY TURNED
DOWN BERRY men
keystone Political Game That
Failed to Work.
ROOSEVELT JOLTED BOLTERS
Former President, Instead OF Aiding
Insurgents, Lauded Administration
by Pennsylvania Republicans.

Probably the most disappointing IN
cident of the state campaign 10 the
managers OF the Keystone Party was
the failure of Roosevelt to comply
with their request and make some rel
erence in his Pittsburg speech TO
Pennsylvania political conditions that
would aid the Berry cal &,acy for
governor.
A special committee OF Keystoners
was delegated to get in touch with the
ex-president as soon as he arrived and
urge him to directly or indirectly help
their cause ia his speech. The COM
mittee got a complete turn down.
They quickly learned that Roosevelt
was not going to be party in any
way to help along the campaign OF
Democrat for governor of the stalwart
Republican keystone State.
He was perfectly familiar with
Berry's free silver and Bryanite rec
ord before the Keystone committee
men broached the subject, and not
only did they get absolutely no en-
couragement from Teddy, but he gave
them a body blow when he did make
his speech by lauding the record or
the Republican party in this state.
Mayor William A. Magee, who Is at
the head of the Republican organiza-
ton of Allegheny, and upon whom
devolved the duty OF making the
speech of presentation to the great
Pittsburg audience, was, with other
stalwart Republicans upon the plat
form, greatly elated over the utter
ances of Roosevelt upon that occa-
sion.
In touching upon Pennsylvania con-
ditions, the former president in part
said: -
"And now, friends, in closing, want
to call your attention to the fact that
there Is not anything at all to be de-
pressed about in present conditions ID
America. We have got lots OF good to
our credit.
lyon have some admirable laws on
the statute books here in Pennsylva-
mia. Take the way tAat you care for
your schools-your compulsory law
your appropriations for the schools
your appropriations for school books,
so that every boy and girl in Pennsyl-
yania can get an education. And now,
you are administering taat law so that
their parents and nobody else can
cheat them out of the education. You
have on the statute books the eight
hour law as regards the employees oi
the government. You have laws pro
hibitng child labor and minimizins
-
the labor OF women-laws that hav
not in the past been always execute,
as they should be. but which | thin
are steadily being better executed
from all that | can hear.
"You have made excellent forestry
laws, excellent conservation laws. In
connection with your forests and wa
ters. 1t is a great sum OF positive
achievement of which you should be
proud But 1t ia better not to be proud
of 1t than to feel that. because you
have done pretty we'll. you are there
fore TO be excused, from doing any
thing more. Do not forget that yol
won't stand still. II you DO not
forward you will slip backward. Now
so 1t is about America as a whole"
These words OF recognition Of the
splendid administration OF the AFFAIRS
of the commonwealth under Republi-
can officials were sincerely and earn
estly spoken.
