ROOSEVELT SPEAKS.
Addresses Chamber of Commerce
or Radical Reforms.

or Radical Reforms.
New Haven, COMM the first pub
lie address he has delivered since the
recent election, Colonel Roosevelt de-
clared at the annual banquet of the
chamebr of commerce here that he was
a radical who most earnestly desired
to see radical program carried out by
conservatives.
He wanted to see great reforms car
ried out not by the men who will profit
BY them, but by the men who will lose
by them, he said. He wanted men to
have fair start in the race, he de-
clared, another time; he did not want
the slow man to win.
Colonel Roosevelt was greeted cor
daily by gathering of 900 represen-
tatives Of the business and commercial
interests and the professions of the
state
The banquet had more than ordinary
significance through the presence of
the guest, who recently was in contro-
versy with Judge Simeon E. Baldwin,
governor-elect, who had been invited
to attend. Judge Baldwin was not
present and the place assigned to him
at the guests table bore mute evil
dence of his absence.
Colonel Roosevelt was escorted from
New York by a committee of the
chamber, and upon his arrival at the
station large and enthusiastic crowd
was waiting. With a wave of his
hand the colonel acknowledged their
greeting, and with hearty laugh and
happy remark to those who reached
forth to shake his hand he edged his
way through the crowd to an automo-
bile. Colonel Roosevelt was driven to
the home of Colonel l. M. Ullman,
president of the chamber of commerce,
where friends were waiting to greet
him. From there, later, he went to
the banquet hall.

tuesday. December 10.

Washington, Dec. ID. - The senate
today listened to the first tariff debate
of the session and while the discussion
was largely academic, it served to de-
velop the important fact that Senators
Lodge and Aldrich are willing 10 join
in the piecemeal revision of the tariff.
The subject came up on a motion to
refer to the committee on rules the
Cummins joint resolution providing for
the limitation Of the power to amend
bills looking to the modification of
paragraphs and schedules of the Payne
Aldrich bill.
Cummins occupied the floor in sup
port of the provision, but he was in
terrupted so frequently that the dis
cussion partook largely of the nature
Of a running debate. 1t was in this
discussion that Lodge and AIdrich
found occasion to announce their posi-
tions.
The Iowa senator disavowed any in
tention Of opening up general tariff
discussion. Still he found it difficult
to avoid general expression on tariff
questions.
ut is we'll known" he said, "that
consider excessive and inexcusable
many of the duties levied by the law of
1909. | know also that many people
believe the law should be amended.
During the recent political struggle
did not hear a single utterance by
Republican that did not admit that the
law contains duties that ought to be
changed and that it is the duty of con
gress to act speedily.
"The real ISSUE" he said, ais
whether we shall so amend our rules
as to permit the amendment of the
law schedule by schedule"
