| Mr. Roosevelt said:
Mr.. chairman and you, my fellow citi-
| zens, my fellow Americans, men and
women OF New York and GOnkers:
| have come here this evening especially
| to speak TO you men and women not
| merely of the city. but OF the State OF
New York, on behalf Of our state and
| local tickets. | wish you to remember
| always that this Is no ephemeral or tenn
| porary movement. We have gone into
| this movement making our appeal TO all
good citizens, without regard TO their
| lutte Intention to make this permanent
| movement, and a movement which shall
| deal not merely with national but with
state and local affairs. For, mind YOU
! friends. the evils that affect our people
! are evils which cannot be dealt with by
any one branch OF the government alone.
/ We can grapple with them only when the
| national and state and municipal govern
| ments alike are In the hands Of men
| whose honesty is above proof, and who
| know and understand and sympathize
with the needs OF the plain people OF the
country. Of the men and women who
make up the bulk OF our citizenship.
| At the outset there are two things
| wish to say. In the first place, I wish TO
| ask all our citizens OF the State OF New
| York, and particularly those OF Brooklyn,
| to bear with me because | have not been
| able 10 see them In person, TO speak In
person in Brooklyn, In Buffalo and else
| where throughout the state. | had In
| tended TO make this last week one OF
passing through this my native state, 10
appeal 10 the state, to appeal to Its citi-
| Zens in every part OF IT, But II has been
| impossible for me TO do so, and so / ask
my fellow citizens OF all the state to take
the will for the deed and 10 treat my
appeal for the state and local tickets this
| evening as an appeal made TO all our
citizens for the Progressive party
| throughout this state
| ADd the next thing, friends, that l
| have 10 say is that | wish TO send mes.

| us which / know you will be glad 10 have
| sent Within the last forty eight hours a
man holding the second highest position
| In the land has been stricken by death.
| and / am sure | express the feeling not
| only OF all OF you here. but of our people
! everywhere when ] say that we were all
| affected with sorrow and concern for the
| death OF the Nice-President. and In your
name / shall ask the chairman of this
meeting 10 send our most respectful sym
| patty 10 the stricken woman, the wife
! Of the late Nice-Presldent Mrs. Sherman.
| ! have come here TO speak for the Pro-
! gressiye cause In this state, and for the
! Progressive ticket from top TO bottom.
and our cause VIII not have triumphed
| completely until We have made II triumph
| In the nation, I'm the state, and then here
| In this city OF New York; and ask that
| the people OF this country and of this
| state Judge US not only by our platform
! OF principles. national and state, but by
| the character Of the men whom we have
| nomi.ated to stand on our platform.
