New York. Sept. 3O.-Colonel Roose- Welt addressing the National Republi- can league at Carnegie hall today de- livered the first speech of the state campaign. He compared the republican state convention with the democratic convention now being held at Roches- ter, and on the strength of the com parison. he said he felt the the repuh!i- cans had right to appeal to every de- cent citizen of the state, without re- gard to party, to vote their way The Saratoga gathering he styled 'peo- ple's convention. free from he influ- ences of special interests"
 John Hays Hammond. president of the league, introduced Colonel Roose- welt. The attendance was not large.
 Colonel Roosevelt said: We here represent progress. We have just held a republican state convention at Sara toga There has never been held in New York a convention more me thodical-a peoples cOnventiOn-nOt a lobbist, not a representative of the great interests exercised a fingers weight of influence in that convention. That convention represented absolute ly the opinions and convictions of plain everyday men.
 Three points, three essential points were made in our platform of princi- ples In the first place: That stand, not timidity, not half way but aggres- sively for honesty in public and busi- ness life.
 In the next place. that stand for governmental. efficiency.
 In the third place, that stand for the right of the people to control them selves and not to be controlled by someone else.
 Now the voters of this state will have to choose between that on one side, and on the other side this (here Roosevelt held aloft a newspaper clip ping) which I shall now describe in the language of one of our most enthusi- astic enVenomed foes, the leading rep resentative of Wall street democracy, the New York Times, describing the democratic convention now sitting"
 Read, read: All day and all night the democratic leaders have been go- ing hat in hand to Murphy, asking him humbly to favor this or that candi- date
 "This editorial in the Times, with other democratic leaders, asks for the nomination of a candidate by the con vention. It goes on: Never before has Tammany Hall been in such unques- toned control of a state convention. Never before has a Tammany boss been enthroned as a state leader in the un limited way in which Murphy is rec ogniZed today The convention is in the hollow of his hand. Back of Mur phys control there are rumors of strange. sinister influences. One can not throw brick in any direction in Rochester without hitting some lob byist or railroad attorney
 This is not what I am saying. The Times, the New York times, is describ- ing the convention of it's party. It con tinues. The woods have been full of them from the start. They got there before the delegates did"
 When Roosevelt had finished talk ing the convention adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow, when q platf lrm will be adopted. Tomorrow night there will be a banquet at the Hotel Astor at which President Taft will be the prin- cipal speaker.
