CONVENTION Fresh From Grief-Stricken Home, Former President Js Chief Figure at Meeting THEODORE ROOSEVELT Who Addressed Republican Conven tion at Saratoga, N. Y., This Afternoon By Associated Press Convention Hall. Sarntopi Springs, N. Y., July 18.—Patriotism and a genuine expression of heartfelt sym- I pathy for the saddened family of I Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, which i had just given a beloved son and | brother to the cause for which his country is righting, was the feature , of yesterday's opening session of the | Republican state convention. Fresh from a grief-stricken home, I Colonel Roosevelt, laying aside per sonal feeling, was the principal speaker on the day's program. Con iseguently, the rival factions declared | a temporarv truce in their struggle I for partisan supremacy and gave the j day over to a rousing reception to j the bereaved father and to enthusi j .istic patriotic demonstrations. A plea for party unity in this time 1 of war, an unqualified indorsement of the war record of Governor I Charles S. Whitman and a declara i tion that his administration has j beer, "clean. efficient and utterly I without scandal," and a most elo quent enunciation of patriotic prin ciples. marked the "keynote" ad dress to-day of former Representa tive J. Sloat Fassett. temporary chairman of the Republican state convention. Mr. Fassett said the Re publican party had stood solidly be -1 hind President Wilson in his war (policies and that Republican repre sentatives and Senators "have sup ported the President and the ad i ministration better than the mem- I bers of his party." After cordially welcoming the newly-enfranchised women into Re publican ranks, Mr. Fassett, in part, said: "We have a right to be proud of , the record of our party in Washing ton. Our representatives have sup ported the President and the admin istration better than his own party has supported him. Our Republi cans representing us have illustrated that the war is bigger than any party. "After all. we are of one com mon mind on the great underlying principles. We differ only in minor matters in the manner of applying the accepted principles." A magnificent demonstration greeted Colonel Theodore Roosevelt ' the moment he entered the crowded convention hall at 3.23 p. m. His entrance was drastic. A few cheers and handelapping herealded his arrival. Then the bands struck up "The Star Spangled Banner" and to its strains he marched down one of the main aisles on the arms of former Representative Cooks, the . Whitman campaign manager, and Senator Theodore Douglas Robinson, his nephew, and manager for Attor ney General L<ewis. The crowd was standing, shouting and waving handkerchiefs. "We BELL-ANS Absolutely Removes Indigestion. Druggists refund money if it fails. 25c want Teddy," and "three cheers for Teddy" were heard above the din. Kcpubllcaii Coiigr(B Needed Theodore Roosevelt emphasized "the necessity of electing a Repub lican Congress" irt an address uere to-day before the' New York state unofficial Republican state conven tion. The events of the past year and a half have shown that a Republi can Congress is necessary, the for mer President said, "to support the administration at every point where it acts vigorously in prosecuting the war, and to supply its deficiencies in the prosecuticn of the war in the carrying out of a proper world pol icy." "This country needs," the Colonel declared, "a Congress which will give the administration this kind of vigorous support, and yet will fear lessly supervise and when necessary investigate what is being done. "Since the war began the Repub licans in Congress have acted as a spirit of the largest patriotism, and wholly without regard to questions of politics. For the administration measures designed for efficiently tarrying on the war they have fur nished a larger percentage of sup port than have the Democrats; and where the administration was wrong the bulk of Republicans ventured to withstand it and have stood by the couniry, whereas the bulk of the Democrats have not done so; al though there have been some con spicuous and honorable exceptions. "It is only by such conduct that we can win the war and secure the right kind of peace. The need in Congress is for loyal Americans, far sighted, strong-willed, resolute, who shall represent the people of this country, and who stall stand stead fastly by the nation as a whole." Defines Right Kind of Peace The right kind of peace, the peace which America must insist upon. Colonel Roosevelt said, was "a peace conditioned upon the complete overthrow of Germany and the re moval of all threat of German world dominion." In righting against dis loyalty in America, against all for eign racist solidarity in this country, he declared, "we must treat agita tion for a premature or inconclusive peace as treason to the republic." The German spy, the "alien enemy here at home," and "the even fouler and more despicable native Amer ican who serves the alien," the Colo nel said, should be interned at hard labor, or, if caught in a flagrant of fense. should be shot. Alluding to "a most gallant Amer ican army" across the seas, and to ship and airplane production, the Colonel said that "we owe much of this achievement to the work of the Senate committee on military af fairs. and we owe even more to the success of the German drive which began in March. "We have played a poor part in the early stages of the world war." the Colonel continued. "Let us make the finishing of the war an American task. By this time next year we ought to have overseas an army as great as the combined armies of France and England, an army of between 3,000,000 and 4,000,000 fighting soldiers on the various fight ing fronts and this, considering re placements and noncombatants, means at least 6,000,000 men. Urges War on Turks "Congress should refuse assent to the War Department's present poli cy of procrastination, in deferring the necessary extension of the age limits for the draft, and in other ways. Thsre should be no further delay. Besides enormously strength ening our army in France we should by this time have declared war on Turkey and have sent 100,000 sol diers to aid our Allies in Western Asia. We have had to use English ships to ferry our troops across the Atlantic .and we could use Japanese ships to ferry them across the Paci fic. "There must be no peace until Ger many is beaten to her knees. To leave her with a strangle-liold on Russia, and through her vassal allies, Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey, dom inent in Central Europe and Asia Minor, would mean that she had won the war and taken a great stride toward world dominion." Belgium must be reinstated and reimbursed. France receive Alsace, Turkey driven from Europe, the Colonel 3aid. Italian-Austria must go to Italy and Rumanian-Hungary to Russia, and Armenia must be free, the Jews g'.ven Palestine and the Syrian christians be protected, with the Poles and other Slav races re leased from the menace of the Ger man sworrl. "Unless we do all this," he declared, "we shall hs.ve failed in making the liberty of well-behav ed civilized people secure, and we shall have shown that our announce ment about making the world safe for democracy was an empty boast " Strong Men Necessary "These are the tasks set us as re gards wtnn'ng the war and ending the war," he continued. "Therefore the elected this fall shall not only be absolutely loyal but possessed of broad vision, sound common sense, high character and unyielding resolution; for they must grapple with tremendous international ques tions. A timid man. a half-hearted pacifist or a foolish visionary may do as incalculable harm as the de magogue or conscienceless political trackster. And of course no disloy al man and woman of merely luke warm loyalty should be chosen, no matter what the ticket on which he runs." Looking torward to "the giant task of peace," Colonel Roosevelt said there nxusf be universal obliga tory military training. "Such train ing." he declared, "would instill into our people a fervent and intense Americanism which would forever free us from the menace of Bolshe vism and all its American variety, from the frank homicidal march of the I. W. W. to the sinister anti- Americanism of the Germanized so cialistic party." Decries Government Ownership While there will be peculiar need for supervision of big business after the war, the Colonel said, business men should be permitted to co-oper ate and combine, and business should not be penalized merely because of its size. Government ownership should be avoided wherever possible, he declared. The Colonel concluded his address by discussing briefly his politics urging Federal suffrage for women, better conditions for labor ing men.more industrial reward and benefit for farmers and kindred re forms which he said were certain to confrant the nation wit hthe dawn of peace. Over 300,000 English Women on Farms Ixmdon, July 19.—More than 300,- 000 women are at present engaged on land in Great Britain compared with 91,000 last year, Rowland E. Prothers, president of the Board of Agriculture, told the House of Commons to-day in discussing the estimates of the agricultural de partment. There also is a large increase in the number of soldiers, German pris oners and Interned aliens doing ag ricultural work. The speaker added that the difficulty was that while the shortage of labor might be made good to some extent the quality could not be made good.
