four years old, endeavor to upset the
verdict of the people, I'll have a great
deal to say. [ApplauseI. Now, friends.
l call that party loyalty Of the real
kind, party loyalty OF the highest type,
for my loyalty is to the great bulk OF
the men who make up the Republican
party, and not to any little group Of
bosses at the head of it. l ask you,
who are the men who talk of my party

Lorlmer of Illinois, the Southern Pa
cifc crowd in California. the Amalga-
mated Copper crowd in Montana, the
Penrose crowd in Pennsylvania
I'm short, the only men who i'm
peach my loyalty to the Republican
party are the bosses who are them
selves being repudiated by the Repub-
hcan party wherever the rank and file
have the chance to vote. I hold my
self bound to be loyal to you. ! hold
myself bound to be loyal t. your in
terests, but I am not bound to be
loyal to the interests of the bosses who
betray you. am not bound to be
loyal to the interests of those who
m~isrepresent your honest and deliber-
ate Judgment. So, friends. my withers
are wrung when they talk of me not
being loyal to the party. / Am being
loyal to the party, for l am trying to
make the leaders Of the party loyal to
the rank and file"
10 Fight Fer tho People.
At Philip&urg the colonel was re
ceived by another great crowd. He
this contest we have a right to appeal
to ysu, for this is your fight. This is
a fight for the right Of the people to
rule themselves. 1t is your govern
ment, and 1t Is not only your right, but
1t is your duty yourselves to control
1t, and. friends, that means that you
must take some pains to do so-some
trouble to do so. II you won't take
the trouble to govern yourselves you
can rest assured that some one else
will take the trouble to govern you,
surely. tAppiause.l And then, friends,
there is no use in complaining about
the boss. There is no use In complaining
about the boss II you let him boss you.
lApplause.1 do not either feel par
ticularly hostile to the boss. l want to
knock him out, that is all. Applause.
People have said that | hate them.
| do not. If the boss will 40 into some
private business he will have my bless

to quit governing US, that Is all. Zap
plause.l And throughout here in New
Jersey l want you men to remember
that this ts a nation wide contest, that
we are appealing throughout this coun-
try, from the Atlantic to the Pacific we
are making the fight in every state Of
the Union for the plain people and
against the powers that prey. We
have against us at least 95 per cent Of
the old school professional politicians.
We have against us at least 80 per
cent Of all that form Of business which
rests on a basis Of privilege. We have
against us practically every boss of i'm
p%ortance. Every nan who represents
the combination between crooked poll
tics and crooked business, which has
been the chief source of corruption In
American political life. We have
against us practically every newspaper
sidized. We have not got anybody
with us at all except the people, and
we are going to knock them out Oh

Favors Protective Tariff.
The colonel got another big reception
at Newton. He said in part: This
country will not be a good place for
any one to live in II we do not make 1t
a fairly good place for every u tc

tice-real justice-in the land. That is
not to be achieved by any one law.
Many different laws are necessary and
the popular sentiment hat will stand
behind the law, partly produced by 1t
and partly producing 1t. There are a
dozen different ways in which | wish
to see the effort made by law to get
Justice. Take, for instance, the tariff
in speaking to this industrial commu-
nity. l believe In d protective tariff,
but | wish to see the beScfit get into

it all stop in the Office.
at is right and proper that a legiti-
mate share should take the shape of
but a legitimate share must
go into the pay envelopes as wages or
the protective tariff is not justified.
And I would like to see it-if we sue
coed we will see it-made the business
Of some governmental body to keep
before the president and
congress, therefore before the people, of
the conditions Of life and labor In every
protected industry, so that we may be
sure hat the protection really benefits
those whom we mend to have 1t bene-
fit.
1000 Cheer at Morristonn.
After practically ignoring President
Taft during the first three days OF his
New Jersey trip, Colonel Roosevelt In
his speech here to a crowd Of more
than 1900 opened up again on the
president. He replied sharply to Mr..

left the country with a deficit, while
