though Chief of Police Patrick j.
Burke had his entire force, night
and day men, enforced by the fire
patrol, keeping the crowds back
from the center of the thorough
fare. 1t looked like circus day,
but, in contrast, under the surface
Of all excitement ran a feeling of
pride and pleasure over having
been in the company of so great a
man. The bowipg and smiling of
the candidate continued as the
ears reached the Five Corners
and swung into New Brunswick
avenue.
Auditorium damned.
Cheers and cheers greeted the
arrival of the colonel at the Audi
forum, and the impatient crowd
in the hugh amusement hall thrill
ed at the sound of welcome. In
noisy expectation, all heads turn
ed towards the south entrance, to
catch the first glimpse of Perth
Amboy's most illustrous guests.
Upon his appearance in the door
way, accompanied by Acting May
or Garretson, Judge Lyon and
other prominent men in the party,
the enthusiastic assemblage rose
as one and gave a long tremendous
ovation to the former president.
No doubt the Auditorium has new
er witnessed such a scene: frantic
men and women upon chairs and
other vantage points, waving
their hats and handkerchiefs i'll
royal welcome, intermingled with
hoarse cries of "Our Next Presi-
dent!
R~oosevelt's Speech Here.
Judge Lyon introduced him with
1t few remarks.
Mr.. Roosevelt said he was glad
to arrive in the great industrial city
and regretted to learn of the great
loss last night.
My friends, in this fight We appeal
to you for support because it is your
fight for political and industrial
justice. 1t is my intention to work
for the rule of the people, not the
generally rule but the new rule of
the people. Take the tariff. l am
for a protective tariff. The wage
worker must have his full share.
The benefit must not all stop in the
Office. | believe we should make 1t
the duty of some department or
committee at Washington to exam
Inc the conditions in wage and life
of the wage Garner to see that the
benefit gets to the people we intend
it should. 1t must be our study to
see that that purpose is really
achieved. Remember, my friends,
that | believe the capitalist must
have his fair share, but not the
whole thing. If you don't call that
a square deal I don't know how to
put 1t.
II wish I could make some of the
multi-millionaires, who now call
me an anarchist, understand that |
am working for their children and
Grandchildren, l wish now they
would Join with us and put away
the evils of discomfort before they
become overDowering.
I wish to see the men who are
we'll off in worldly goods become
acquainted with the fact that 1t is
a matter of honor among them that
each is his brothers keeper. That
this country will not be a good place
to live in unless it is a good place
for every one.
IF we set to work to secure bet
ter Justice, a fair deal all around,
we can make things more even; we
can give each man a chance to show
the stuff that is in him. In the
same way, friends, that I believe
that any law can take the place of a
mans private tariff. If he hasn't
got the right stuff in him, you can't
get it out of him. | know men who,
give them the best rifle made, and
I can beat him with a GLIB. In
private life if a man Is shittless no
law can make him succeed. But,
under good laws there is a much
better chance for the man Of right
type of character to reach success.
Now. that's all I am asking.
You have heard my speech. Is it
full of passion or a preaching of
class hatred? l plead for justice so
that our Great Country, the guide
of thew hole universe, may BECOME
even more better capable TO accom-
plish and achieve the things expect
ed of it.
"And, friends, I ask you to stand
