sjrcretnry Root Feels Proud of the
Record of Governor Odell Gives a
Brief Glance at What Has Been
Accomplished by the Present Gov-
ernor of New York An Appeal for
the Citizens of the Empire State
to Stand by President Roosevelt.
tV Exclusive Wire Irom The Associated Press.
New York, Oct. 30. Cooper Union
was filled tonight with people who had
come to attend a Republican meeting,
the principal speakers being Mayor
Low, Governor Odell and Secretary of
War Root. Mr. Low eulogized Gover
Jiur Odc'll and his administration of
state affairs. Governor Odell followed
in an address In which he cast aside
as absurd the prediction that his ma
jority would be as small us some had
prophesied. Secretary of War Hoot
spoko after the governor had finished.
Mr. Hoot said in part:
As a. citizen of Now York I liuve been
pioud of Governor Odcll's administration
rliirtiiir the past two years. Ho has shown
himself a. strong man and an honest one
in the governor's chair, as he has always
been In buslnc.-s and polities. Ho has
reduced taxes and mado the public ser
vice more effective and has given tho state
n clean and effective bus-lness atlmlnistra-,
lion. He ought to bo re-elected for thu
good hi.- Ill's done as governor and the
good Jig will bo nblo to do during another
term. And he. ought to bo re-elected as
n rebuke to the outrageous and unfounded
pnrsonul attack that has been made
upon him by opponents who arc trying to
obscure and set away from the real issues
of the campaign.
The national issue of this political cam
paign, in -Its most important and prac
tical aspect. Is whether President Itoose
vclt shall be sustained In his administra
tion of the national government.
Will the people of tho L'nlted States
elect a house of representatives with a
Republican majority to work in harmory
with the president, or will the people elect
a house with a Bemocratli; majority
which will be hostile to the president,
will not agree with him upon any course
of conduct, and will hinder and embarrass
him In all his efforts for tho public good
during the remainder of his present term
of office?
There ought to be no Indifference upon
this question among tho people of tho
state of Ntw York. If they think he has
mado a good president, as I believe they
do; If they are proud of him, as 1 think
they nro; proud of his manly and noble
qualities, his coinage, his frankness, his
freedom from guile and double dealing,
the genuineness of his Republican sim
plicity, tho sincerity of his love of country
and of his countrymen, the rugged
strength of his character, tho exceptional
power of his trained Intelligence, the wise
thoughtfulncss and boldness with which
he Is grappling problems of government
when smaller and selfish men would tem
porize; then the people of the president's
own state will do their duty by him as
lie Is doing his duty by them, and will
send representatives to congress at the
coming election who will stand by him
nnd work with him for the good of the
country.
Praise for Congress.
Mr. Hoot said the people of the coun
try have reason to be well satisfied
With the ability, sense and duty, and
honest patriotism of the Fifty-seventh
congress, and there was no reason for
a change. Certainly no reason is to bo
found in a desire for the curbing of
trusts, for un effective treatment of
labor troubles, or; for a revision of the
tariff. Continuing, ho said:
Our Democratic friends talk as If f-ome
capitalists Fceuiing unduo piollts, and
some tariff provisions becoming outgrown
with changing conditions and Rome still),
born contests oetween employers who
wish to pay less and wage earners who
wish to bo paid more for labor, where
now and strange phenomena, threaten
ing our social and political system nnd
calling for desperate and revolutionary
remedies. They are not now or strange or
threatening. They are but reappearances
in slightly varied forma, of s-oinu of tho
difficulties which have always accompa
nied material prosperity siuco the begin
lne of successful enterprise. I'nfuir an.l
oppressive trusts, so-called, urn weeds in
the garden of prosperity and these can bo

On Labor Troubles.
Addressing' himself to the continual
ly recurring contests between capital
amriabor, Mr. Root spoke of the con
tinual approach towards a good under
standing of the terms' and relations
which tire dictated by a recognition of
mutual and reciprocal Interests. Said
tho speaker:
If you will look buck at tho condition of
the railroad business at Ulo time of the
Debs riots, then consider the relations
since established between tho railroad
owners and tho associated engineers, lire
men, trainmen and conductors under tho
leadership of Mr. Arthur. Mr. Sargent,
Mr. Clark and Mr. Morrlssey, you wilt
seo a striking Illustration of the progress
to which I refer. Another good illustra
tion Is to bo found In the agreement made
tho other day between the tin plalo man
ufacturers and their workmen, In which
tho workmen voluntarily agreed to a re
duction of wages In order to enable tho
manufacturers to underbid foreign com
petitors for the contract to supply tin
cans for tho Standard Oil product.
Another llustratlon Is the agreement be
tween employers nnd employes for tho an

greater part of the bituminous coal Held.
The more intelligent the parties nre, tho
more readily such relations arc reached;
and as wo are ah growing more intelli

London, Oct. 30. At a meeting of the
Cuban Central railway, limited, today,
the chairman, J. AVhlteVTodd, spoke en
couragingly of the political nnd eco
nomic prospects of Cuba, in spite of tho
present depression In the sugar trade.
He said tho new government inaugur
ated in Cuba under American auspices
was proceeding most satisfactorily from
the standpoint of the British Investor.
Perfect quiet and confidence prevailed.
Assuming the passage of the Ameri
can reciprocity bill, coupled with tho
favorable influence of tho Brussels
sugar convention, there was every rea
son to expect a great business revival
in Cuba, and tin era of general prosper
ity. The best information now pointed
to the sugar crop being at least equal
In quantity to that of last year.
Referring to the promulgation of the
new railroad laws, prior to tho Ameri
can evacuation of the Island, the chair
man said the American authorities had
showed every disposition to act fairly
toward the invested interests of the
railroads, lie thought the revised laws
were not only not prejudicial to the
company, but that they constituted ad
ditional protection for the company's
Interests.

which about one-third Is cash and the

little better terms than the other com
panies: that the builders of the White
Star ships had really made the bargain
for tho stockholders, and that the cash
payment represented a little morecon
servatively speaking, than the value of
the ships bought, and that whether the
stock of thu American company was
worth anything or nothing, tlie White
Star stockholders were really on vel

realize on their American stock would
really be so much more gain, which
might be regarded as representing their
good will, etc.

the delay of his government In giving
him further Instructions In answer to
bis despatch regarding the conditions
which havo risen since the forwarding
of the letter directing him to proceed
with negotiations for a treaty with tho
United States affecting the right of
way for the Panama canal. He has
sent several requests foe this Informa
tion without avail.
The legation officers, However, ate
moved to the belief that the despatch
of Secretary Hay to Minister Hart,
sent on Tuesday, will have the effect
of accelerating matters, and that an
early adjustment of the questions
which are delaying final action on the
treaty may be looked for.
Much of the delay has been occasion
ed, so it Is learned, by the attitude of
Governor Saluzar of Panama, who has
been writing numerous letters to the
legation hero and these more or less
Influence Mr. Concha, In postponing
action on his Instructions.
