| Hendricks, former superintendent VI
insurance, is the head. Mr.. eHndricks
| is a member of the republican, state
committee and voted against Roose'
welt when the state committed retus-
ed him for temporary chairman OF the
republican state convention.
The colonel spent the evening at
the home of Lieutenant Governor
Horace White, who gave dinner Tor
him. There, too, he was IN the
! hands OF men who are taking part
| in the fight against him. Timothy
L. Woodruff, chairman of the republi-
can state committee, and one of the
| leaders of the opposition to Roose-
| welt. was here today shook hands
with the colonel and ate dinner with
him. Roosevelt and his adversary
met each other with cheerful faces
and tested about their differences.
Lieut.. Governor White made one
of the shortest speeches on record,
! when he introduced Mr.. Roosevelt at
the fair grounds.
I'VE are here today to welcome and
to honor Theodore Roosevelt ne
said, and that was all.
The colonel, who had just seated
himself at the rear of the platform to
wait until White had finished his
speech, looked up in surprise as he
saw the lieutenant governor backing
from the railing.
DO l speak now?' he asked. Mr..
White said that his time had come,
and Roosevelt arose.
He was in fighting trim as he fac
ed the crowd. He himself, said so.
He shook his clinched fists in the air
and Numbered forth his messages
with all the energy which he could
muster. Several times he departed
from the text of his prepared speech
to inject remarks to show how ear
nestly he meant what he said.
Il wish that my opponents would
come into the open," he said. "They
shoot from the bushes" he declalrledl
at another place, but you could not
make them come to the open and
fight the ISSUE"
Another remark which caused the
crowd to cheer was made just as
he had again dared his opponents to
put themselves on record as against
him.
Friends" he said, they won't do
it, they may criticize me, but they
will walk as though they were tread
ing on eggs before they take the 9TH
err side"
After he had asserted that lead
ers in business must act as servants
of the people, and that the corpor.
atoms must be the creatures and not
the master of the people, he added:
ITO paraphrase the works of Pat
rick Henry, If that be Socialism,
make the most Of it,
Let it be understood at the out
Set" he continued, that l have not
a word to retract."
Amen" shouted man in the au
dience.
THAT sound-Amen-that good
doctrine" the colonel said.
What l have to say is to take
away any excuse from these who mis-
represent>my words. 1t is not for me
to explain. It is for Them
Roosevelt slightly modified his de-
uulClOl VI ANc" NdlAOuoAoAA, w
day. He called it the efficiet ap.
plication of new conditions of GER
tain old time and fundamental NOR
alities." The word efficient, he in.
serted today. He then proceeded
with a defense of his attitude, an
exposition Of "newnationalism," and
a repetition of his declaration of war
on crooks and bosses.
After Roosevelt had finished his
speaking, Hendricks stepped up to
him. Roosevelt and the leader of
the organization shook hands cord
tally. 81 was never in better fight
ing trim in my life," Roosevelt told
him with smile.
C. V. Collins, state superintendent
of prisons, talked at length with the
colonel. collins will be my right
hand man at Saratoga" Roosevelt
said after their talk was over.
The colonel stayed at the fair
grounds an hour to watch the auto
mobile races and airship flights. He
saw Ralph Depalma drive his car a
mile faster time than any one else
ever had travelled in an automobile
around a circular track and later
shook hands with Depalma and con
graduated him.
From the fair grounds the colonel
went to Lieut.. Governor Whites
home for dinner. He will return to
New York tomorrow,
