"Not Intended for Publication"
Then, turning to the reporters, ne
said:
Il want no reference made to any
thing 1 did not say in my speech as
| delivered it tonight Inc oeher
things were not intended for publlca-
ton. They were parts of another
speech My secretaries must have
made a mistake, 1t must not De
used"
He directed his secretary to see
that a statement to this effect was
sent to the newspapers by the city
News Association.
The portions that the colonel said
did not belong to last nights speech,
but were parts of another, were IN
the first half of the copy supplied
last night. The speech ran along
fiuentiy and seemed to have peeh
written at one time and consecutive
lv. The paging runs straight from
TO 80. and each paragraph dovetails
into the other as if intended for de-
livery at one time. Those in the colo
nel's confidence said that after the
speech was written he had concluded
IT. would be unwise to use those parts
that might offend the sensiDilltles OIL
the Central or South American states,
and thus affect the success of his trip
to those countries.
The Reference TO Panama.
The underlined reference to Pan
anna occurs on page II of the advance
copy and reads:
II have spoken of the Panama canal
and of the enormous benefits its
building, now so nearly accomplished,
will confer upon us and upon the
nations of mankind. Remember that
the canal could not have been built II
I and those about me ten years ago
had paid heed to the counsels of folly
and weakness masquerading as VIZ
tue. What the country wished was
to see that canal built. 1t did not in
terfere as long as there was chance
that it would be built by outside eff
fort in such shape that it would not
be in any way under the control or
any non-Ameriean power
IF any of the three countries have
already mentioned in this speech,
If Chill, if the Argentine, If Brazil
had possessed the isthmus, the canal
would undoubtedly have been built
under the direction of the government
owning the isthmus, and with
hearty eod-speed from the United
States. In the actual event ! was
finally faced by the alternative of
seeing the building Of the canal In
definitely postponed. or else of hav-
ing America, in the interest Of the
people of Panama through whose ter
ritory the canal was to pass, in our
interest, and in the interest Of the
nations of mankind, take hold and
build it,"
Party Is Solid, He Says.
Colonel Roosevelt told the Pro-
gressives his best endeavors would be
extended toward the upbuilding of
the party. The party is solid, he
declared. and he added that it was
the firm determination of the rank
and file as well as the leaders, to
preserve it's political entity, its soli-
darity and integrity. Speaking of
the work he mapped out for himself
on his return. Colonel Roosevelt said
that I'VE shall enter undaunted as a
national party on another national
campaign
The colonel said that he would
never rest content until every single
principle enunciated by the Pro-
gressiVe party was put into practical
operation by the nation.
at is eIaphatically fight for our
country" he declared, 81 would con-
tinue to fight even If stood entirely
alone"
The widest enthusiasm greeted his
assertion. Waving bandanna hand
kerchiefs and napkins the diners
jumped to their feet and oheered for
half a minute. Only once during the
evening did Mr. Roosevelt receive
greater ovation.
1--WE Want Teddy AS President"
Toward the close of the address of
Clifford Pinchot, the POSTMASTER.
there We're cries of we want Teddy.
Raymond Robins. of Chicago, head Of
the Progressive National Service,
leaned across the guest table Yes,
we want him-we want him as Presi-
dent" he shouted, Then the crowd
let loose, rising EN- masse from their
seats to applaud. Mrs. Roosevelt was
a witness of the tribute,
One by one as Colonel Roosevelt
Everett Colby, Progressive
nominee for Governor of New Jersey;
Charles Sumner Bird, the party
for governor of Massachu-
sets; Mr. Mitchell, and others, the
named were cheered,
What has happened and is hap
pening in this State illustrates abso-
lutely the need of the practical appli-
cation of our Progressive principles"
said the colonel. The two old par
ties are absolutely dominated by
Messrs. Barnes and Murphy We are
fighting the battle of the plain peo-
pie, of the rank and file of both old
parties, when we war against the ma
chimes and bosses of the old parties.
Until we have real direct primaries
and the genuine control by the people
of their own party organizations
there is no possible way by which
the people may recall Mr., Barnes
and Mr.. Murphy.
"If they are satisfied TO have their
politics run by Mr.. Barnes and Mr.
Murphy why | have nothing to say
hut If they are not satisfied they
ought to have the chance to recall
them"
Colonel Roosevelt began his speech
by saying that he wanted to take
this means of saying word to
all men and women of the Progress
sive party. All his life, he said, he
had been engaged in work that oul-
minated in the last eighteen months.
and of all his political life il was the
last eighteen months TO which he
looked back with the most satisfac-
ton. This was his compliment to
the men and women who have worked
with him in the organization and
first campaign of the party. which he
termed movement for social and
industrial Justice to be achieved in
a spirit of brotherly goodwill, and of
the broadcast social consciousness"
eve All Have Gained Finer Outlook

worked in this movement have
gained thereby the inestimable ad-
vantage of "a finer and higher out
look on life he continued. More
over. friends, we have kept the faith
wherever. and to the extent that,

of the covenant with the people
