FOR REPUBLICAN TICKET

Boston, Oct. % Theodore Roosevelt
spoke at big Republican rally last
night and scored tie Democracy for its
attitude toward the protective tariff,
incidentally urging the reelection Of
Governor Eben S. Draper and the other
candidates on the Republican ticket.
When the colonel arrived at the arena
where the rally was held, he found
awaiting him crowd that thronged the
great building. Thousands Of persons
unable to gain admittanee, blocked the
street outside As Colonel Roosevelt
mounted the platform the people rose
from their seats and cheered loudly,
and the colonel smiled.
Ex-Governor John H. Bates spoke fol-
lowed BY Governor Draper, who asked
for the suffrage Of the people, ION the
record the Republican legislature had
made and my record as governor"
Senator Crane. who was on the plat
form, spoke, and tHen Senator Lodge
spoke. He was applauded for saying
that the Republicans Of Massachusetts,
never had any bosses.
There was another wild outburst Of
applause when Mr. Bates introduced Col.
onel Roosevelt
Il cannot claim any merit for com
ing here" said Colonel Roosevelt, for
have for many years come to Massa-
ehusetts not to give strength, but to
get it.
"The opponents Of Governor Draper
have said that tne tariff is an issue
ia this campaign" he continued. "All
ask is that the voters compare the
attitude Of the two parties in regard
to the tariff. On the Republican side
there il no difference ais to the principle
to be observed. In every state the Re-
publicans are unit in the Republican
platform tnat there shall be an equaiza
ton Of the cost Of production here and
abroad. The difference has merely been
as to the way of achieving the common
purpose and more and more are we com
ing into complete harmony as TO the
method to be adopted.
Our opponents have no such har-
mony. They know that if they had
ma jority in Congress and tried to build
up a tariff they would do as they have
done. They would build up protect
i've tariff, not as a matter of principle,
but as matter Of favoritism.'
The colonel then read and commend
ed the tariff plank in the Massachusetts,
Republican platform which endorses the
plan for tariff board. He said Presi-
dent Taft, by working for the tariff
board aud for satisfactory tariff rela-
tons with foreign countries, had pointed
out the way which the party was to
follow.
Experience has shown that the pres.
ent system Of tariff making is unsat-
isfaetory,' the colonel continued. "Our
principles were right in the past. We
propose to adopt methods which shall
guarantee the principles being carried
out with justice and equity.
Our opponents say that as our prin,
ciple is just and our methods incorrect
wen adhere to the methods and oppose
the principle That is perfectly Just
and scientifically correct description Of
the difference between the attitude OF
and our opponents"
Colonel Roosevelt then spoke Of the
leadership Of the Democratic party by
William ]. Bryan and Alton b. Parker
mir. Bryan went on the lecture plat
FORM he said, "and Mr.. Parker be-
came attorney for the sugar trust He
was attorney for the sugar trust when
Henry L. Stimson, now Republican can
ddate for governor Of New York, was
it for rebating. Mr.. slim
son recovered $4,000 despite Of efforts
of Mr.. Parker, aud Mr. Parker now
takes a jaundiced view of Mr.. StimsOn
as candidate for governor"
The colonel then went on to describe
the Democratic state convention in New
York, repeating the assertion which he
made in his campaign speeches in New
York, tnut II was dominated by Charles
t. Murphy, lecder Of Tammauy hall.

be a calamity to the nation if Senator

public life by means of the power OF
money tie praised Governor Draper
and said that Massachusetts, really was
a progressive state.
