lands that could be irrigated. but we
 won the other proposition
 Referring to MT. Pinchot, Mir Can
 non said: '1 have the greatest personal
 regard for you, but l understand you are now engaged in conservation work
 for the organization of a new party.
 "I tell you, sir, that a party cannot stand on single issue, now. although
 our party did stand on a single issue
 once in that great conflict between servile and free labor"
 Speaking of his record as public official, the speaker said: "I admit have made mistakes Great God. I have been mistaken a score of times
 in the last thirty-five years. There
 are other fellows in congress who have 1 been wrong just as often, but they are not honest enough to admit it" MT. Cannon shook hands with MT. Pinchot at the conclusion of his 1 speech and apologized because he had
 to leave without hearing him. Il | have to catch train for Winfield" said Mir. Cannon. Brother Pinchot, I am sorry I had to speak first. I all ways talk better when someone ex- pectorates in my face or kicks me on the shins."
 MT. Cannon was not on the regular program but having stopped over at the hotel where the dinner was given he was invited to attend and respond ed to an invitation to address the club. ! Pinchot was given great ovation
 when he rose to speak.
 Theodore Roosevelt was the father i of conservation in this country" he said. The national conservation as- sociation is continuing the work he
 started. The last session of congress did great work and our association was | largely responsible for it." ! Said he: The withdrawal bill as passed was due, largely, to the efforts
 of the association. We now intend that
 the people shall be compensated for
 what the private interests get. The old
 practice of giving perpetual grants to
 private interests is now impossible and
 the future is now safe against the op- i pression of monopoly.
 The fundamental idea of conserva
 tion is to make of this country better | home for the race and make the race
 better one in that home. The nation i should think about it's marvellous
 riches. The conservation association does not mean to stop development. but so to use the countrys natural re- | sources that the people who come aft
 CT us may also enjoy them.
 'I believe a new school of politics
 is coming into the United States. This new school will decide whether the country shall be governmed b. money
 for profit or by men for human well
 fare. I made a speech in St. Paul
 recently and in connection with that speech somebody mentioned the pos 1 sbility of the organization of a new party.
 MT. Cannon's reference to me in that connection doubtless is due to his having read some headlines at that time The essential questions before the people now are outside Of party
 lines In looking over the names of those who voted for the Payne Aid
 rich tariff bill, am led to believe that
 regular republicans and regular demo- crats are the same.
 'I am republican and I do not be-
 lieve in the necessity of third party at this time. And there won't be any.
 am not Cannon republican, nor an
 Aldrich republican. but I am a Dolli-
 ver Cummins, Beveridge. LaFollette. Murdock, Norris Stubbs republican and like to be counted among that kind
 of cattle. I am on my way to speak.
 for an insurgent candidate for con-. gross in California This is my first appearance in politics.
 MT. Cannon said that a party can,
 not stand on one issue. Well, I know
 that the people will never become en- | thusiastic on the one proposition of | standing pat. I want to be counted with the men who go ahead. T have an exceedingly kind feeling | for the speaker The old man in his 1 fight with Murdock and the old insur gents stood for an obsolete tradition,
 but he was manly about it. It is sad l thing when men who have done their | work must stand aside and give the Leadership to others. But this has ever been the history of progress. I think
 [ am as good republican as MT. Can | non"
 1 But some of us are democrats"
 shouted someone in the audience. q am glad you said that" answered
 MT Pinchot. flor the ideals of public
 spirited democrats are exactly the
 same as the ideals of public spirited l republicans. We must all work to- I gether to put the special interests out | of politics.

 ell He was a great man. Frederick
