| In Concord the colonel spoke in the
auditorium, while an overflow meeting
in the open air was addressed by ex.
Gov. Fort of New Jersey and others.
| Col Roosevelt was introduced by Gov
Pass. He defended his Columbus, O.,
speech and declared that instead OF
! seeking to destroy the independence OF
the judiciary, we seek to preserve its
independence by having in the legis-
lature, in the governors chair, at the
head of affairs and taking the lead in
public life such men as Gov. Bass.
He took up arbitration and discussed
the peace pact between Russia and
japan.
do you think" said he, that either
OF these countries would have come to
me or to this country ii they thought
this was country Of weaklings, with
a weakling at the head OF i'll Never"
He likened the present campaign to
the campaign for Lincoln in 1860, when

lated convention, rather than to sirk
everything to the popular within or fancy

hibit A, because ! would really like YOU
to look at him, and then know just what
he said-that he thinks he is better
fitted to know your minds than you are
yourselves

people"

sentative part of the people is COM
posed of Senator Gallnger, Senator AID

he did prior to last Tuesday.
Mr.. Roosevelt concluded with a repe- |
tition of his familiar attack on the |
courts, especially the New York court |

cisions.
Col Roosevelt reached Nashua at $50 /
