eight delegates of Albany county, tn
irst on the list for sherman.
Friends of Mr.. Taft had no right
TO fear that his administration would
suffer through the friends of Colonel
Roosevelt. Mr.. Taft might be appre.
hensive of what was to happen In this
state with the party in control of
Woodruff and his friends
1--WE have heard Colonel Roosevelt
'ompared tCoolonel Bryan today The
Inference Is Colonel Bryan attracts
great crowds and can never be elect
d. while Colonel Roosevelt attracts
great crowds and is always elected.
1T is absolutely unfair to say that
his movement has for it's object the
domination of any particular man In
'912. That will be the business of
he national Republican convention
Discovering that 1t would take near
~ two hours to call the individual
oll of delegates, Chairman Woodruff
mggested that 1t be taken by districts
hut there was howl OF disapprOvnl

RoOscvclt's Speech.
eve come here feeling that we have
the right to appeal to the people from
he standpoint alike of national and
state achievement. During the last
eighteen months, n long list of laws,
mbodylng most heartily to he COM
ncnded as combining with progress
ave been enacted by congress ana
pprovcd by President Taft.
Turning from the nation to the
tate, we find that during the term of
crvice Of Governor Hughes an eS-
raordinary amount. of wise and good
| cgislation In the interest Of all the
| pcople has been put upon the statute
books, and the standard of business
| integrity and efficiency in the man
| lgement of the several state depart
| 1ents has been steadily raised.
| 1--WE who come together To set the
| standard of our party have n grave
| responsibility to that party and to the
public Democracy means nothing
nless the people rule The rule Of the
boss Is the negatlon OF Democracy.
Il Is absolutely essential that the peo
pie should exercise self control and
self mastery, and he Is a foe to popu
lar government who in any way
Icauses them to lose such self control
and self mastery whether from with
out or within But it must be literal
lly seIf-control and not control by out
siders We should at once introduce
/ lA tom Of al
nominations i'm the primaries, so that
the people shall be able themselves tc
decide who the candidates hall be.
"Our country offers the most won
derful example of democratic govern
ment on a giant scale that the worlc
has ever seen; and the peoples o.
1.-The world are watching to see wheth

| all our hearts in democracy; In tn
capacity OF the people to govern then
selves; and we are bound to succeed
for our success means not only ou
own triumph. but the triumph of tn
cause of the rights of the people

? ing of the banner of hope for all tn
nations Of mankind"
"Of course. with party rs long u
