Americans Ameri-cans rise and fall together and If one body prosiyrs the rest prospers If one fajls the ret fall and no deed of honor hon-or or renown can be done by any American Amer-ican that It does not reflect credit upon all America No deed that malces us hang our heads for the country can be done anywhere that the whole country coun-try docs not feel 1 the shame READY TO OBEY ORDERSI I am speaking to a number of men from he shops railroad men and nOw I am not making political am poltcal speeches excepting ex-cepting that I cant help speaking fdr certain things that I believe There were no men in my regiment that were better than the railroad mon ha usa they had led lives that taught them to obey ordero There are three things necessary for success In private and public life honesty courage and common com-mon sense and a man must be always rpady lo obey orders TALKS AT OSAGE CITY At Osage City many members of the Twentieth Kansas greeted Gov Roosevelt Roose-velt The train stopped only n brief moment but In that time the Governor shook hands with a large number of men and women and made a short address ad-dress dressI was no surprise to us he said Chat the Twentieth Kansas did so te < wel It could not help doing well corning corn-ing from this Stato Now I am going down to see my comrades of the roughriders rough-riders They cant any 9f them vote this yoai so there Is no politics In it but I dont care n snap of my finger how any of them vote I am with them anyway I am a good American and BO I cant help entertaining the opinion opin-ion I do A large bunch of Kansas sunflowers was handed to the Governor Gover-nor as the train pulled out STOP AT EMPORIA When Emporla was reached Gov Roosevelt delivered the longest l speech he has yet made during the trip to Oklahoma Ok-lahoma The Governor launched almost al-most immediately Into the subject of politics and this appeared to please his audience At one time when he spoke bf 16 to 1 a woman in the crowd be cam excited threw her arms wildly In the air and shouted Thank d we dont want 16 to 1 any more and we wont have i Gov Roosevelt said IN PLUMBS OLD HOME I a glad that I should be making my first speeches since I was nominated nomi-nated here in Kansas because it was your delegation that forced me to become be-come a VicePresidential candidate and inasmuch as you are mainly responsible f re-sponsible for me It is well that I should come hero to speak to you I only had the pleasure of knowing one of your citizens well the late Senator Preston lB Plumb and I now know well another of your cllizens William Allen White and 1 have caught Mr White on his way to the effete East and he Is going go-ing to spend next Sunday with me at Oyster Bay MUST TALK POLITICS Now it was not my intention to say a word about politics on this trip But I dont know that 1 can very well help I because this year the Issues that are at stake in politics are those In which I believe with my whole heart and soul because to me the honor and welfare of the country are at stake Now why are you here today Because Be-cause you expanded over Kansas In 1803 this Territory was acquired under the Louisiana purchase and many good people of the Northeast said It was perfect folly to buy this country we could never expand Into it we ought not to take itaway from the Indians who had it1 FLAG WONT COME DOWN Well you went ahead you did expand ex-pand and you are her now and the sentiment against acquiring this territory ter-ritory Is dead exactly the same as the question whether we aro to abandon tho work that we did last year and the year before is a deadqu ston You sent your sons to the Philippines your sons blood waters the soil of those islands Isl-ands The flag is there and wont comedown come-down < downQ j S NO SHIRKING RESPONSIBILITY Do you respect most the man who goes through life seeing if he cant liayo an easy time or the man who sees his work and does it se s dos You are trying to bring up your sons so that when they meet difficulties they shall overcome them not shirk them N We must play our part among the great nations of the world and we must settle set-tle it whether we shall play that part well or ill LIBERTY IN PHILIPPINES Wo are going to put down brigandage brigand-age and outrage and murder In the Philippines just as sure as faterbar ring Just one thing if the American people choso to go klttlcornered neit November you will have nil the brigandage bri-gandage in the Philippines that is possible pos-sible But It will stop because the election elec-tion will go straight next November and we are going to introduce In the PhIppine the kind of liberty that follows fol-lows and can only follow orderly administration ad-ministration of justice liberty for each man to lead his life as he sees best provided he does not wrong his fellows REFERS TO ICE TRUST And now I am tempted to speak about some questions of Democratic interest in-terest Tho ice trust is quite an Issue In New York I wont say anything on the subject of the Ice trust until I see what is said about trusts In general I at Kansas City My fellow citizens of New York are boiling over with enthusiasm 1 en-thusiasm against trusts In the abstract but owning all the stock they can get of one trust In the concrete I want to sea whether they meet these questions fair and square at Kansas City or whether they straddle them But it makes no difference how they stand we will stand fair and square on all these questions NO EMPTY PROMISES II deeply appreciate the honor conferred con-ferred upon me in this nomination and I can assure you In just one way and that Is by keeping faith absolutely with you I will tell you nothing on the slump that I would not say off the stump I will promise nothing that I would not try to make good after election tion And If words have any value it depends upon what they have done in the Dast PROSPERITY NOW HERE You remember last fall you were told yiat prosperity would never come unlll you had 16 to 1 Now prosperity has como to you by the work of your hands 1 this Nation is allowed to goon go-on as It has for tho past three years we shal seo such prosperity In this country coun-try as the sun has npt shone on In any nation on the earth before I appeal to you for the sake of material prosperity and In the name of the honor and renown re-nown of America the good name of the Nation I thank you HIS ADDRESS AT NEWTON At Newton Gov Roosevelt addressed an enthusiastic audience of 2000 in the Auditorium I was the first time the

de lirorcd at Topeka and Emporln touchIng touch-Ing upon the questions of Imperialism and silver KEEP WHAT WE HAVE GOT You of the Great lest he said were told four years ago that you wouldv never get prosperity without 16 to 1 But you did not get It and yet you look pretty middling prosperous jtfow when a man nays you cant have prosperity unless you have something that afterward proves to be lo put It mildly an error dont you trust him any more You cannot by legislation secure wellbeing Foolish laws laws that would disrupt our economic and financial system would nullify the hardest work that Kansas could ever do Legislation would never make the thriftless prosper Now we have achieved prosperity dont let us bo foola enough to throw away what ive have got On the way back to his car the Gov
