COL, ROOSEVELT
GREAT AMERICAN
, "Pathway Lined With Monu
ments to Public Service,"
Says Depew
New "Hl pathway t llnexl
with montimenta to his public ser
vice," said Chauncej* M. Depew of
1 Theodore Roosevelt at the Methodiet
Preachers SleetlnK. 160 Fifth avenue.
•The greatest American Is gone.
The great achievements of Col.
Roosevelt, his uneonquerablo deter
mination and opposition to every
thing that was crooked and danger
ous in business and politics, his re
fusal to be tied by party Influence,
his unswerving Integrity, the person
al charm and inagnamlty of his char
acter were sketched by Mr. Depew.
And there was hardly an event in
the Colonel's life or a phase of his
nature which the former Senator did
not illustrate with a story.
"For the whole active life of the
late Theodore. Roosevelt." he said,
•i was intimate with him and 1 knew
his father before him. And through
that acquaintance I always felt for
the young man an Intense admira
tion. He had more enthusiasm, more
vitality, more human magnetism
than any man T ever knew. In the
elghtv-four and more years that 1
have "'lived I have never known a
more vital personality, and his path
way is lined with monuments to his
public service. Theodore Roosevelt
had the culture of Harvard, com
mingled with the experience of the
great plains." . .
He first met Mr. Roosevelt when he
started on his political career as the
lust hope candidate of a Tammany
controlled district. It was half silk
stockings and half East hide, and
the Republican leader went to Mr.
Depew with liis troubles and told
him that lie thought only young
Roosevelt could win. He suggested
tliat the youth just out of college, be
nominated at a dinner at Delmonl
co's. at which Depew should preßide.
"He was 22 and he looked 16.' said
Mr. Depew, "but for one hour he told
the big business men gathered there
of the evils of government, startled
and shocked them, and after that, for
his whole life lived the principles he
uttered that night." , , / .
lie told how. after his Assembly
career was made Civil Service Com
missioner and then Police Commis
sioner. because he was thought to be
Ihe one man unafraid to tilt against
the evils of the police system.
"fr'rlends of the party tried to
shelve him." Mr. Depew went on, so
tliev made him Assistant Secretary
df War. and in six mor.ttV> he
most conspicuous man in the United
States; I recall one time when John
D. lyuig. Secretary of the Navy, was
staffing on a vacation he turned to
some of us and said; 'I believe Iyl
better go back and watch that young
Assistant Secretary of the Navy.
"He got from Congress an appro
priation of more than 11.000.000. and
and when he was asked what he bad
■lone with that he said he had spent
it in target practice. Congress uas
shocked, but the target practice made
it possible for Dewey to win the bat
tle of Manilla Bay and for Schley
to come out victorious at Santiago.
"One peculiarity about Roosevelt
was that he never asked anybody to
go anywhere or do anything that lie
wasn't willing to be in the
rank. That was true When he was |
Police Commissioner: it was true in j
the war. And so when the Spanish
war came he raised the Rough Rid
ers and led them." .
Mr Depew then came to ten now
it 'was that Roosevelt was the only
man who could be selected as Gub
ernatorial candidate after the Spanish
war. and the part Mr. Depew had Tn
bringing about his nomination.
"In politics, he said. It is crises
that mhkes the man. That is not true
of business, it is not true of the pro
fession. for if a man has in him the
qualities that make for success he
will Ultimately succeed either In bus
iness or the professions. There was
a crisis then in the Republican party
in this state. Gov. Black had asked
the investigation to find out what
had become of $1,000,000 appropri
ated for the canal.
"Thomas C. Piatt sent for me to
come in consultation and said that
the canal trouble threatened the en
tire ticket. Odell had advised him
to nominate Roosevelt, but he said,
"'he lias always kicked over the tra
.ce' - vou can't control him. and he
will be a peril to our organization.
•Well." I said, 'you can't elect anyone
e hecklers will want to know
what has become of that million." T
told him 'and if you do not nominate
Roosevelt all I will be able to say is
'that it only a million. But if you
nominate Roosevelt. I will be able to
sav 'We've nominated the greatest
.thief catcher the world ever knew.
He'll find out what became of that
million; he may get it back; hell put
the men responsible for it in lail. and
he'll do it all to the Star Spangled
'"'Well.' said Piatt, 'we'll nominate
"When it came to the second nomi
nation there was such a feeling
against him. going way down to the
district leaders in the organization,
that we knew he eouldn t he re-elect- )
ed and if we nominated anyone else i
his successor couldn't be elected. Sn
we decided to boost him up and
make him Vice President.
"Roosevelt woudn t hear to it. He I
said 'I don't want to be in a tomb, i
ond the Vice Presidency is a tomb.
Tliev put you there and _ you stay |
there until vou are dead. In the
convention his name was put in nom
ination and he declined. He made n.
rousing speech and said if he was |
nominated he would decline on the ,
door of -the convention. But the next
morning he accepted and that was
the beginning of the greatest life in
American history, the greatest life
of tinv man who had the talent to |
control his fellow men. |
"After MeKinlev was assassinated
he carried out loyally, for that was ,
his nature, the policies of MeKinlev.
Tint when he was elected he became 1
President and began to shape his own |
Po "Tt'was a time of unexampled pros- I
neritv Vou may remember the for
mation of the trusts, great combina- j
lions of business and they were talk-.
imr of grouping all the railroads of
,he countrv in a single combination.
Roosevelt, nlone of tlm people of this
eountrv. took alarm at the tendency
of the dav and instantly he aroused
such a venomous clamor against him
as was never before raised against a
public man. The speculators were
ngalnt him. the millionaires were
against him. most of the press was
against him. But lie Xo knew ills
power and so used It that lie was
able to curb the dangerous tendency
°'/'remember how he dominated one
t\f th< biKffest tyipti of the time. Tie
called him in and said to bom.' 'Sir.
deal with me now or you deal later
with the mob." . , , .
"When Roosevelt was suggested for
a third term he had all he could do
to prevent it. He had declared
against a third term, and he had the
card up his sleeve that he bad been
elected but once. But when he did
refuse he had all he could do to bring
about the nomination and election of
his chosen successor. Mr. Taft. Then
was shown the magnamlmous chival
ry of the man. He knew that his one
term would overshadow Taft's so 4ie
went away to Africa, where he was
practically .lost to the world for two
years."
Aft". Depew then-referred to Roose
velt's bolting the Republican party
St Chicago because of the injustice he
felt had been done him there, and
pointed to its results as perhaps the
greatest manifestation of the man's
power.
< "Our greatest American is gone,
the greatest force for Americanism
this country'ever had Is gone." Mr.
Depew concluded. "More than Jef
ferson. great American on the liter
ary side; more than Jackson, great
American on the military side, he
combined them both. Ills last ser
mon was oa Americanism, his last
speech, which he sent to be read the
night before his death was. 'We want
no divided •allegiance in this coun
try.'" . .j.... _
