pont Morgan and was his partner UNI
til recently. Would Mr.. Roosevelt
want to offend the teacher of his
leader? Hardly. Not only that. but
Mr.. Morgan himself. he first n Of
three. testified last week that he con-
tributed $15o,00O to help elect Mr..
Roosevelt to the presidency eight
years ago And 1 want to remind
You that he only contributed $4,000
to elect MI. Taft. Shame on the
bull Moosers, who calls Taft a cor
gan would pay five times as much
for Roosevelt as for Taft in the pres
idency. Mr.. Morgan is a business
man and he knows what a dollar Is
worth. And he doesn't buy any gold
bricks in politics. And he got his
moneys worth when invested in
Roosevelt: He got a thousand per
cent on his investment within four
years. for 1t was Mr.. Morgan's trust,
the steel trust. that went to Mr..
Roosevelt and that trust secured from
Mr.: Roosevelt a concession worth
millions of dollars to Mr.. Morgan and
his friends; They secured from Mr..
their largest rival at an enormous
profit to themselves and at enormous
harm to the nation. No. they
didn't pass any Morgan resolution
In the Roosevelt convention. That Is
another difference. And there was q
third. Mr.. Roosevelt says that Wall
street went to Chicago and got the
president it wanted. Well. for the
sake of argument let us admit 1t. But
when Wall street vent to Baltimore it
not only did not get the president it
wanted; 1t got the one man 1t didn't
want. and against him it voted on AZ
ballots. Why doesn't he tell the truth
and not say those two conventions
ference. The republican convention
was cut and dried. The Baltimore
convention was neither cut nor dried.
1t was the freshest convention you
ever saw. 1t was the most spontane-
Gus gathering that was ever known in
this country. 1t differed from all 9TH
er conventions. There never was any.
thing like 1t.
No other convention was ever so
controlled by the people at home as
that Baltimore convention. Do you
know how many kilograms were sent
to Baltimore. I learned from one of
the telegraph companies at Baltimore
that 10000 kilograms were received
In that city for the delegates during
that convention. 10000! They were
signed by 1891 persons. And they
came from forty-six states of this UNI

days. Thursdays and Saturdays with a

read kilograms. and yet I couldn't
keep up. I read as fast as l could and
as long as I could, and when l got
swamped we put them in a box and
sent them. to Nebraska. And / will
read them after election. There never
was such a convention. Ny friends.
my part in 1t was a very simple part.
Those who don't like what I did have
