ST|MSON IN ALBANY
Continued from first page.

| point OF fact they completely compile
ment each other. When the time came
+ II look for the man who could give
shape and construction TO the demands
which had been aroused in the public
minds the Republican party looked
about it with deliberatiOn and discrimi-
nation. 1t selected q man who had been
sympathetic and active member of the
/ former administration and who had been
most especially charged with the con-
structive work Of that administration.
! That man was William Howard Taft.
! For the rest, Mr.. Nagel analyzed the
accomplishments of the present federal
administration, going deeply into the
tariff, admitting that not as much had
/ been accomplished as had been hoped
/ for, but pointing out the fact that sub
stantial progress had been made, and the
continuance of Republican administra-
ton meant that this progress would be
continued. while the placing Of a Demo
cratic administration in power meant
/ that all which had been gained in this
direction would be lost.
In the same vein he pointed out what
had been accomplished in the matter Of
| conservation of public resources. the
/ curbing of lawless corporations, the en-
actment of postal and various other re
forms which had been brought about by
the present administration-and those
that President Taft had promised to ac-
complish should he continue 10 retain
hthe confidence and support of the Ameri-
can electorate.
After the meeting there was a quiet
/ little dinner given by the Albany County
Republican Committee at the Ten Eyck
Hotel. attended by Mr.. Stimson. Speaker
Wsdsworth. Mr. Barnes and several
! state officials and local leaders. Mr..
| Stimson and Mr.. Barnes had a long talk
and 1t was after midnight before Mr.
| Stimson started for the Fort Orange
! Club. where he spent the night.
Big Meeting at Schenectady.
Preceding the meeting here there was
big one at Schenectady. where Mr..
| Stimson spoke to an audience composed
almost entirely of worhingmen. men who
/ bore the signs Of doing manual labor for
their living. He got q splendid recep-
/ tfon there. The meeting had been kept
waiting for him: the bad weather had
made him late all through the day. But
the people apparently were perfectly
willing TO wait for him. When he came
/ they gave him a greeting which shook
/ the walls Of the Centre Street opera
/ House. They showed, too. that whatever
! anti Roosevelt feeling there may be loose
around the state hasn't penetrated very
/ far into the class Of workingmen. When
/ Mr.. Roosevelt's name was mentioned they
shouted and stamped and clapped their
/ hands like madmen. When Mr.. Stimson
/ declared that if respect and admiration
for Mr.. Rooseveits principles and per
formances in public life stamped him as
''Roosevelts man" ne was proud OF the
title they shouted some more.
You're all right shouted one of the
men who hung in a cluster behind tho
last row Of seats. "Hooray for Teddy
and Stimson"'
Mr. Stimson took up especially the
labor question in his speech there. He
told of the work which the Republican
party had done to benefit the 'ndi-
vidual through legislation and the
supervisory powers of the State Labor
! Department He promised, if elected
TO continue that policy, and to see espe-
ciallv that the principles recognized
/ IN the vorknen's compensation act
were extended in new legislation

S;imsou. His audience hewfed with de

trasted that position with his own rec
