RooseveIt's Speaking Tour
Virtually Ends at Hoboken

NEW YORK. May 2S.-The campaign
into which Col. Roosevelt plunged three
| months ago virtually came to an end
last night with a booming welcome in
Hoboken, with the glare of red fire and
call of bugles as he made his way through
streets lined with thousands who cheered
him.
From now on Col. Roosevelt will direct
his attention to the marshaling of his
forces for the battle to be waged in the
Chicago convention. He said that he
| would not go into the states which are
yet to elect their delegates.
This is the most remarkable ending
| to the most remarkable campaign I've
| ever taken part in said Col. Roosevelt
last night, after he had witnessed the
demonstration in Hoboken. II have been
in politics for thirty-three years, and l
never before have felt such unadulterated
! satisfaction in any campaign as In this
one
| Col. Roosevelts final appeal was in re-
| ply to the assertion that he was disloyal
| to the republican party and was attempt
| ing to work its ruin. He said he would
/ appeal, If necessary, from the republican
national committee to the people.
| 1.-The republican party would have died
of dry rot if we had not made this fight"
1 he said.
| In speaking at IambertviIle, Col
Roosevelt said: "Our opponents have said
| that we are breaking up the republicans
party. That is the direct reverse of the
truth. We are building up the republican.
party. The only chance for the repub-
| lican party lies in our success. The sue
cess of our opponents would mean the alb
| solute ruin of the party. And they know
! it. They are willing to ruin the party If
| they can keep their hands upon the ma
| chinery.
| Il ask you to compare in this the atti-
| tudes of myself and of Mr.. Taft in your
| own state. Just the other day he said
he expected to win because the national
| committee is with him. 1 have told you
| that expect to win because the people
are with me. The national committee
was chosen by the politicians four years
ago. and those forty or fifty men. repre-
senting the choice of the politicians in
1908, are to be used. forsooth, to over
throw the wishes of the republican party
in 1913. 1 am loyal to the republican
party when l say that we represent the
rank and file of today and not the politi-
clans of four years ago.
/ The only men who impeach my loyalty

who are themselves being repudated by

ROOSEVELT APPEALS
TO THE PROCRESS|vES
Tells South pakota Voters He
or Reactionary Will Be
Nominated.

Sioux Falls Press today prints a telegram
from Col. Roosevelt saying that he can

Memorial day speech at Gettysburg. Pa.
but makes an appeal to the people which
in part is as follows:
There has never in our history been
cleaner lineup than this between the
plain people and the bosses. We are fight
ing for the fundamental principles OF
American citizenship. / only went into
the fight when it became evident that I'm
less / did so there was not the slightest
chance to nominate any progressive can
didate at Chicago.
Events have made it certain that at
Chicago either l will be nominated or
else that reactionary will be nominated
Any progressive who casts q vote for
any other candidate is merely giving aid
and comfort to the reactionary. Any such
vote is equivalent to half vote for Mr..
Taft
Every boss in the country is against
US. But the great majority Of the rank
and file of the people are with u.s. for
it is their fight. We are fighting for their
right to rule themselves.
I'VE believe the government should
control in a going fashion not
only the interstate railroads. but all big
interstate business We believe in the
conservation policy and in extending the
irrigation work rapidly feasible
I'VE are against any effort by reciproc-
ty of any fashion to put the burden or
tariff reduction exclusively upon the
farmer. The farmers and the wagework-
ers are the two classes whom we especial
ly desire to see benefit by the protective
tariff. 1t must be a tariq to protect the
little men, not to favor unduly the big
men,"

The President spoke along the usual
lines asking wherein his administration
had not kept its word to the people. and

by his opponent.
Even the Roosevelt men admitted last
night, after witnessing the demonstration,
that their candidate cannot hope for q

out exception have encouraged their
men to get together. 1t IS DeIleVeo
that an organization, such as the
Baseball Players fraternity cannot
fail to do a great good for everyone in
terested in the game As soon as II
was learned that there was no union

ment was heartily endorsed by the
powers Garry Herrfann, chairman OF
the National commission, aptly eN-
pressed the sentiments of all the pro-
mOters in the following words.
IAN organization of the players
properly conducted along lines OF good
sense, should prove one Of the greatest
helps in the history OF the sport 1t
would take out Of the hands OF the
National commission great deal o.
WORK. The National commission would
welcome such a step and would more
than meet the players half way. As
understand IT the players do not de-
mand representation on the National
commission. They want a general
representative, however, to appear for
them in all cases relating TO the SUI
preme court of baseball and this,
think no more than just through
such a medium the commission would
be able to get clearer insight into
both sides Of all controversies
VIII Enforce Contracts
The fraternity has adopted a broad
minded constitution, the aim of which
is to propagate the best interests or
baseball. One OF its most sacred prin-
ciples is TO compel a strict Observa-
ton Of contracts by both parties and
to force its members to conduct them
selves in such fashion during the play
ing season that they will be able to
give the club owners their very best
services at all times. There is moth
ing at all menacing to the present
peace of the game in the attitude OF
the new fraternity

new Organization will be confined to
major league players Gradually the
association win be expanded until the

been cared for. The annual fee for

M here I am on the job again, and

it now looks as if I will be as sound
as ever in the. course of a week or two.
But before taking up the subject of
boxing, to which this column is sup
posed to be devoted wish to offer
heartfelt thanks to my friends for the
many kind expressions of interest and
sympathy received during the long so
jOurn in the hospital While it may
not sound right and sincere to say 1t
q am not adept at pretty phrases),

find out I had so many good friends. I
certainly feel grateful and want all to
know that while 1t is quite a physical

edge each individual message appre-

testimonials of kindness and friendly
feeling.
It might interest veteran fight fans
to mention here that Jim DAILY, my old
time sparring partner, and a boxer of
excellent reputation in the early nine
ties, is pleasantly and probably located
in a business way in Philadelphia and
a fine physical specimen he is, too, for
a man who has been out of the game
so long time, which is another excel
lent argument in favor Of athletic
training. 1t was Jim who was with me
when I was rushed to the operating
