On consideration OF this despatch II
was learned from tho Roosevelt cam

most effectively In tho open air, espe-
cially In an academic atmosphere: also
that the steps Of the Nassau Inn, dis

In his speech at Morristown Roose-
| welt said:
when I was q small boy I lived for
| several years not far from here. so I
am pretty good Jerseyman myself.
Now. friends. there are just one or two
points want to speak to you about.
Recently Mr.. Taft has dWelt upon the
| fact that my Administration left
| deficit 1t didn't. Mr.. Taft can say that
| only by taking one year and emitting
| the other six and one-haf
''On the whole. in the seven and one
half years OF my Administration the In
como exceeded the expenditure by be-
tween two and three hundred millions
| OF dollars, SO much so that We almost
had too much surplus. and although
Congress authorised US to Issue bonds
for building the Panama Canal. during
my Administration most OF the expendi-
lures Of the Panama Canal until tina
last year we're paid for out Of the sur
| plus,
I'VE had more than we needed for our
own running expenses. and Instead OF
putting II away we used II Tor the
Panama Canal digging and eco-omized
upon the bond issue which We were al
lowed to make.
There 10 another point want to coll
to your attention. The other day Mr..
Taft said the National Committee would
do HIN justice. want the people to do
me Justice. and that illustrates the OH
ference between us. l appeal to tho
people: he to the National Committee,
with the expectation that II will misrep-
resent the people. appeal TO the people
To control themselves. Mr. Taft appeals
10 the National Committee elected by
the politicians four years ago. and ap-
peal 10 the people In this year lsl2."
The talk was frequently interrupted
by applause and the train left AMID
cries OF you're all right. Teddy"
