FRIDAY EVENING,
ROOSEVELT, SAD
AT HEART, MOVES
N.Y. 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

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.
