he laboring man must organize for
his own protection and that it is the duty of the rest of us to help
him and not hinder him in organizing. That is one-half of the appeal
that I make.

"Now the other half is to the labor man himself. My appeal to him is to
remember that as he wants justice, so he must do justice. I want every
labor man, every labor leader, every organized union man to take the
lead in denouncing crime or violence. (Applause.) I want them to take
the lead (applause) in denouncing disorder and inciting riot, that in
this country we shall proceed under the protection of our laws and with
all respect to the laws and I want the labor men to feel in their turn
that exactly as justice must be done them so they must do justice. That
they must bear their duty as citizens, their duty to this great country
of ours and that they must not rest content without unless they do that
duty to the fullest degree. (Interruption.)

"I know these doctors when they get hold of me they will never let me
go back and there are just a few things more that I want to say to you.

"And here I have got to make one comparison between Mr. Wilson and
myself simply because he has invited it and I can not shrink from it.

I did while I was president with what Mr. Wilson did not do while he
was governor. (Applause and laughter.)

"When I took office as president"--(turning to stage) "How long have I
talked?"

Answer: "Three-quarters of an hour."

"Well, I will take a quarter of an hour more. (Laughter and applause.)
When I took office the anti-trust law was practically a dead letter and
the interstate commerce law in as poor a condition. I had to revive
both laws. I did. I enforced both. It will be easy enough to do now
what I did then, but the reason that it is easy now is because I did it
when it was hard. (Applause and cheers.)

"Nobody was doing anything. I found speedily that the interstate
commerce law by being made more perfect could be a most useful
instrument for helping solve some of our industrial problems with the
anti-trust law. I speedily found that almost the only positive good
achieved by such a successful lawsuit as the Northern Securities suit,
for instance, was for establishing the principle that the gov
