that our success must be made to turn
for social and industrial justice"

believe that on Saturday Pennsylvania
will do what Illinois did yesterday"
In his address here tonight. Col.
Roosevelt made a detailed exposition
of the theories which he has propounded
in regard to the courts. He again
directed severe criticism against Joseph
Choate, John @. Milburn and the other
New York lawyers who have formed an
association to combat his ideas. He said
that these men. whom he termed "em-
battled attorneys for the defense Of
special privilege in taking the position
they do, markedly champion vested
wrong
cheek by jowl with our worst representa-
tives of politics when they seek,to keep
the courts in the grasp of privilege and
the politicians.
These worthy gentlemen" he added

imposed on US by Heaven. and were
responsible only 10 Heaven.
Later Col. Roosevelt brought in the
name of President Taft. He asserted
that this country would not be good
place to live in 'if we permit our Cow
eminent to be twisted from its original
purposes and to become Government
such as Mr.. Taft. Mr.. Choate. Mr..
Lorimer, Mr.. Mnburn, Mr.. Penross,
Mr.. Guggenheim and their allies wish to
make tia Government by corporation
attorneys on the bench and off the
bench.'
As Col. Roosevelt was whisked across
the State he found crowds at the larger
points of such size that many Of them
were unable to get within earshot. In
Johnstown, Altoona, Harrisburg and
Lancaster. the best vantage points
were thronged SO that the streets were
almost impossible.
When he reached Philadelphia another
throng was waiting for him. Four
hundred policemen lined the streets to
keep back the crowds along the three
squares from the station to the hotel.
The Metropolitan Opera House. In
which he spoke tonight. was filled an
hour before the Colonels arrival. and
the street in front of the building was
filled with jostling crowd. After
completing his main speech, Col. Roose-
welt went to Labor Lyceum Hall In
Kensington. the northeastern section
of the city, where he received an en-
thusiastic welcome.
