New York, Sept. S0.-Col. Roosevelt this
afternoon addressed the delegates OF the
New York State League OF Republican
Clubs in Carnegie Hail.
The greater part OF Col Roosevelts
brief speech was confined TO reading
from and commenting upon a clipping
from the news columns OF the New York
Times. The colonel voiced the opinion
that the Times clipping better expressed
his reasons for wishing 10 see Mr.. Slim
son elected governor than Mr.. Roose-
Welt could express them himself, and he
therefore. confined the original part Of
his speech almost altogether 10 com
ments upon what the Times had TO say
and TO approval OF the views 10 be found
IN the clipping.
II hope" said President John Hays
Hammond, OF the league, IN Introducing
Col Roosevelt, after the cheers OF greet
ing and the star SpangIed Banner" had
subsidized, that xou VIII try TO restrain
the enthusiasm that always is in evil
dence when Col. Roosevelt makes hts
appearance. We all know that we are
ready 10 follow him up any San Juan
Hill he may lead US 10. (Applause) I
regret that Col. Roosevelt has cold, but
as you know even his whisper is heard
around the world" tApplause)
Roosevelt Delivers Address
Col. Roosevelt laid his black campaign
hat on the desk and came forward
smilingly.

And ! wish 10 say that there never
was held in the State of New York
convention that was more emphatlcally
a peoples convention.

nor a representative OF a great special
interest exercised a fingers weight Of
influence in that convention. II abso-
luteiy represented the convictions and
belief of the plain. every day man, who
makes up the rank and hle Of the Re
publican party in New York, and il
represented the independent faith of IN
dividuaI voters"
The audience expressed belief in these
views with much applause, Many sitting
near the press tables were heard 10
voice their regret AT this point that
large audience. was not present 10 hear
the speaker
Three essential points," the speaker
went on, were made in the Republi-
can PLATFORM platform OF principles
upon which the contest in New York is
10 be waged In the first place. we
stand not timidly, but agressively for
honesty in public and business life. Sec
ondly We stand for governmental eff
cheney, and In the third place. we are
for the right OF the people 10 control
themselves and not be controlled by
some one else. (Applause)
Those are the three essential planks
OF the platform. Our words count only
as they are made good by our deeds. and
We ask that we be tested by our deeds.
We placed on that platform man
whose whole life Is an exemplar of the
good public servant. a man absolutely
honest and fearless, and in the high
est sense a servant as we'll as a leader
OF the people. That's our platform. and
that's the kind OF man Henry Stimson
Is.
The voters have a choice OF this side
or OF the other side, which I shall tell
you Of In the language OF our most en-
venoned foes. I hold here a clipping
from a leading representative Of Wall
street Democracy, a clipping from this
mornings New York Times From our
enemy. our bitter enemy. I'll read its de-
scription Of this convention by its friend,
