INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. Jan. 8.?Pres

here today, voiced what hta hearers In
terpreted as a hint that he might be a

pepple rose to their feet and cheered
until the Pr?sident called for qalet.
The president bad been discussing
tho. .Mexican question. Referring to

"There may come a time," he declar

Previously the president had at

senators oppoaing the government ship

"aol?-atyled- frlonds of business." He

questions taken up in his address. It
was understood tonight that lie would

the ear lient possible opportunity.
At the reception ufter the address,
the president snook bands with sever

tired out. He confided to friends that
he was greatly pleased with his recep

President's Speech.
The president said In part:
"oC7c;ncr Halsten. LadiCH and Gen
tlemen: You have glycn me a most
royai welcome, for which 1 thank you
from the bottom of my heart. It la
rather lonely living In Washington. I
have been confined for two years at
hard labor and even now I feel that I
am simply out on parole. You notice
that one of tbe most distinguished
members of the United States senate
Is here to see that I go back. And yet
with sincere apologies to the senate
and house of representatives I want
to say that I draw more Inspiration
from you than I do from them.
Should Think of Home.
"They, like myself, are only servants
of the people of the United States.
Our sinews consist in your sympathy
and support, and our renewal comes
from contact with you and with the
strong movements of public opinion In
this country. That is the reason why
I for one would prefer that our
thoughts sholud not too often cross
tho ocean;'but should center them
selves upon the policies and duties of
the United States. If we think of the
United States, when the time comes we
shall know bow this country can
serve the world. I will borrow a very
interesting phrase from a distinguish
ed gentleman of my acquaintance and
bee that you will keep your moral
powder dry.
Jackson Was a Forthright Han.
"But I have, come here on Jackson
Day. If there are Republicans pres
' ent I hope they will feel the compelling
Influences of such a day. There was
nothing mild about Andrew Jackson;
that is the reason I spoke of the 'com
pelling Influences of the day.' Andrew
Jackson was a forthright man who be
lieved everything he did believe In
fighting earnest. And really, ladies
and gentlemen, in public lifo that is
the only Bort of man worth thinking
about for* a moment.
"If I waB not- ready to fight for
everything I believe in. I would think
It my duty to go back and take a back
seat. I like, therefore, to breathe the
air of Jackson Day. I like to be re
minded of the old militant hosts of
Democracy which I believe have come
to life again In our time.
Republican Party a Back Number.
"The United States had almost for
gotten that It must keep Its fighting
ardor in behalf of mankind when An
drew JackBon' became president; and
you will notice that whenever tho
United States forgets its ardor for
mankind, a Democrat is elected presi
dent. The trouble with the Republican
party is that it has not had a new Idea
for thirty yeara, I am not speaking
as a politic*^, I am speaking as a
historian. I have looked for now ideas'
In the. records and I have not found
any proceeding from the Republican
ranks."
The president said it was only nat
ural that when the country wanted
* things done it elected a Democrat pres
ident.
"I would not speak with disrespect
of the Republican party. 1 always
speak with great respect of the past.
The past was necessary to the present ;
and was a sure prediction of the fu
ture. The Republican party Is still a
, .covert and refuge for those who are
afraid, for those who want to consult
their grandfathers about everything. .
"You will see. therefore that I have
come to you In the spirit of Jackson
Day., I got tired of staying in Wash
ington'and saying sweet: things. I
wanted to come out and get in contact
f with you on
really thought; :
The Independent Toter.
"My friends, what I particularly
want you to observe Is this, that poll
: ties In this country does not depend
Spy longer upon the regular members
of either party. There Is not enough
regular republicans In this country
to take and hold national power? and
! must immediately add-there aire'not
onduga: regular Democrats in" this ;
I country to do It either. This country
> in Riiiden dud its poiicy ?s ????n??n?d
' by the Indepencdnt Voter; and t have
, come to nik you how wo "can best
, provo to the independent Voter that
, the Instrument he needs' v \ tie Demo*
cratic party and that it wottf be heme
r less for him to attempt to use the Be
publican party. I do not have to prove
It; I udmlt it."
Progressives nt Home In Deniorrntlr
Banks.
The president went on to say that
there arc more progressive? !n the
Democratic party than there pre in the
Republican party and that, therefore,
the independent voter finds a great
deal more company in the Democratic
ranks thun in the Republican ranks.
"I say u great deal more," he addod,
"because there are Democrats who
are sitting on the brcechlng-alrap;
there are Democrats who are holding
back; there are Democrats who are
nervous. I dare say they were horn
with that temperament. And I respect
the conservative temper. I claim to be
an unlmated conservative myself."
. . "All the forces of America are
forces In action or else they were
forcoH of Inertlon."
"What I want to point out to you,
and I believe that this is what the
whole country Is beginning to per
ceive is this, that there is a larger
body of men in the regular runks of
the Democratic party who bellevto in
the progressives policies of our duy
und mean to see them carried forward
nnd perpetuated than there is in the
ranks of the Republican party. How
cun you be otherwise, gentlemen? The
Democratic party and only the Demo
cratic party, has carried out the poli
cies which the progressive people of
this country have desired. There is
not a single great uct of this present
great congress which has not been car
ried out la obedience to the public
opinion of America. . . .
First January Without Honey String
ency.
"Let me instance a single thing: 1
want to ask the business men here
present if this Is not the first January
In their recollection that did not bring
a money stringency for the time being,
because of the necessity of paying out
great ?unis of money by way of divi
dends and other settlements which
come at the first of tho year. I have
asked the bankers if that happened
this year, and they say, 'No, it did not
happen; it could not nappen under the
federal reserve act.' w? hayo sinancl
patcd the credits of this country. . .
"I have taken a long time, ladles
and gentlemen, to select tho federal
trade commission, because I wanted to
choose men and be sure that I had
nhosen men who would be really ser
viceable to the business men of this
country, great as well as small, the
rank and the file. These things have
been done and will never bo undone.
They were talked about and talked
about with futility until a Democratic
congress attempted and achieved
them.
Democrats Still on Trial.
"But the Democratic party is not to
suppose that It Is done with the busi
ness. The Democratic party is still
on trial. . . This country is not
going to use any party that can not
do continuous and consistent team
work. If any group of men should
dare to break the solidarity of the
Democratic team for any purpose or
from any motive, theirs'will be a most
unenviable notoriety and a responsi
bility which will bring deep bitter
ness to them. The only party that is
serviceable to a cation is a party
that can hold absolutely together and
march with the discipline and with
the zest of a conquering host,
"? am not saying these things be
cause I doubt that the Democratic
party will be able to do these things,
but because I believe that as leader
for the time being of that party I can
promise the country that it will do
these things. ..."
Compliments Indiana Senators.
Here the president paused to pay
tribute to tho two Democratic sena
tors from Indiana, saving ho never
had to lie awake nights wondering
what they were going to do. .He add
ed that the country is not going to
trouble itself to lie awake nights and
wonder what these men are going to
do; that if the country has to do that
it will choose other men.- In this con
nection, he said that "team work all
the time is what they are going to
demand of us,, and tbat is our indivi
dual as well as our collective respon
sibility. That Is what JackBon Day
stands for. It a man will not play in
the team, then he does not belong to
the team."
Congress Has Carried- Out ? <Great
Program.
"Now, what is their duty? You say,
'Hasn't this congress carried out a
great program?' Tes, it has carried
out a great program. It bas bad the
most remarkable record that any
congress since the civil war has bad,
. . % But we are living at an extra
ordinary "moment. The world has
never in the' condition ?.hat it - is in
now my friends. Half the world Is on
fire. Only America among the great
powers of the world is tree to govern
her own lite; and all the world - Is
looking to America to. ssrvs Itj eco
nomic need, and while this Is hap
pening what is going on?
."Do you know, gentlemen, that* the
ocean freight rates have gone up in
some instances to ten times'their or
dinary figur?? And tbat the farmers
or tho United States, those who raise
grain and those who' raise cotton, .
. ? ' can not get any profit out of the
great prices that they are willing to

"If I wore speuking from h selfish,

are said to be attempting now. . . .
This country is bursting Its jacket,

"The Democratic pnrty knows how

f.ervlcc. . . . We have laid the
lines now upon which business that
was to do the country harm ?hall be

Great Hills Pending.
"There are great bills pending in
the United States senate just now
that have been passed by the house
of representatives, which are intend
ed as constructive measures tn be
half of business?one great measure
which will make available the enor
mous water powers of this country
for the industry of it; another bill
which will unlock the resources of
the public domain which tho Republi
cans desire to have locked up so that
nobody could uee them. . . .
"What we are trying to do In the
groat conservation bill is to carry
out for tho first time in the history
of the United States a system by
which the great resources of this
country can bo used instead of being
set aside eg that nc man can get at
them. I shall watch with a great deal
of interest what the self-styled friends
of business try to do to those bills.
"Do not misunderstand me. There
are some men on that side of the
chamber who understand the value of
these things and arc standing valiant
ly by them, but they are a small mi
nority. The majority that Is standing
by them is on our side of the cham
ber and they are the friends of Amer
ica.
Should Help- Working Men.
"But there are 'other things which
we have to do. Sometimes when I
look abroad, my friends, and see the
great mass of struggling humanity
on this continent, it goes very much
to my heart to see how many men are
at a disadvantage and are without
guides and helpers. Don't you think
it would bo a pretty good idea for
the Democratic party to undertake a
systematic method' of' helping the
working men of America?- There is a
very simple way in which they can
help the working men. If you were
simply to establish a great federal
employment bureau It would do a vast
deal; by the federal agencies which
nnread over this country men could
be directed to those ports of the coun
try, to.those undertakings, to those
tasks, where they could find profita
ble employment.- The labor of this
country needs to be, guided from op
portunity to opportunity. Wo proved
it the other day.
"Wo were told that In two States in
the union 30.000 men were needed to
gather the crops. We suggested In a
cabinet meeting that the department
of labor should have printed Infor
mation about this in such form that
it could be posted up in the postoffices
all over the United States; and that
the department of labor should get tn
touch with the labor departments of
States, so that notice could go out
from them. What ..was the result?
Those thirty thousand men were found
and were sent to. the places where
they got profitable employment'. . .
. It will not cost a great deal of
money and it will do a great deal of
service If the ' United States were to
Undertake to do auch things' syste
matically and all the year 'round, and
I for my part hope that it will do
that. . . ..
? "And there la another thing that
needs'very much to be done. I am
not one of those, who doubt either tho
Industry or the learning or the Integ
rity of the courts of the United States,
but I do know that they bave a very
antiquated way of doing business, .
. c an?T^I sav that it is an Immed
iate* and an Imperative call upon as
to rectify that; because the speedlness
of justice, the lnoxpensiveness of jus?
tlce, tho ready, access of justice, is
the greater part of Justice itself. . '.
The-?srfffi.
"And then there is. Something else.
The Democrats have heard the Re
publicans talking about the scientific
why in which to 'handle a tariff,
though the Republicans have never
given any exhibition of a knowledge
of how to handle li scientifically. It
It is scientific to put 'additional pro
fits into th? hands of those who are
already getting the greater part of
the profits, thon they have been ex-'j
ceedlngly scientific-. It has been tho
science of selfishness; It has been
the science of privilege;' That kind
of science ? do nofeare to know any
thing about except enough ito stop It.
But If by scientific treatment of the
tariff they mean adjustment to the ac
tual trade conditions of America and
(he world, then I i?m with them; and
I waqt to call, their attention to the
fact that the bill which "creates -the
new trade commission does that very
thing. W? were at pains to see that
it \va-< put in-there. -That, commission
(s authorized-, and -empowered to} en
quire into and report to congress not
only upon all the, conditions of trade
In this country, but 'Upon tho condi
. G?ns of trade, the cost of manufac
ture, the cost of-.. transportation-^-all
the. things that ?rater into the ques
tion of Uio tarlir-T-in ' foreign .coun
tries as Well as in the United suites,

anil into all those questions of for-1
elgn combinations which affect inter
national trade between Europe and
the t'nitc-d States. It has the full pow-j
ers which will guide congress in the !
scientific treatment of questions of in
ternational trade. . . . '
Democrats Arc Acting.
"At every turn the things that the
progressive Kopublleans have propos
ed that were practicable, the Demo
crat.- either have done or are Immed
iately proposing to do. If that is not
our bill of particulars to satisfy tiie
independent voters of the country, I
would like to have one produced.
There are things thut the progressive
program contuined which we, being
constitutional lawyers, happened to
know can not be done by the congress
of the United State. . . . Dut so
far us they cancan be done by State
legislatures, 1 for one, speaking for
one Democrat, um heartily In favor of
their being done. . . ."
The president said that just before
he left Washington he went over the
(igures from the last election and that,
while these figures are as yet Incom
plete, they show that the Democrats,
reckoning State by State, would, If it
had been a presidential year, have had
.1 majority of 80 In the electoral col
lege.
'"Fortunately or unfortunately, this
ia not a presidential year; but the
thing is significant to me for this rea
son."
Independent Voter the Ross.
"A great many people have been
speaking of the Democratic party as
a minority party. Well, if it Is, it is
not so much of a minority party as
the Republican, and as between the
minorities I think we can claim to
belong to tho larger minority. The
moral of that is merely what I have
already been pointing out to you, that
neither party in its regular member
ship has a majority. Ido not want to
make the independent voter too proud
of himself, but I have got to admit
that he is our boss; and I am bound
to admit that the things that he wants
are, so far as I have seen them men
tioned, tilings that I want.
"I am not an independent voter, but
I hope 1 can claim to he an independ
ent person, and I want to say this dis
tinctly, I do not love any party any
longer than it continues to serve the
immediate and pressing needs of
America. ...
"I want to make every independent
voter in this country n Democrat. It
is a little cold and lonely out where he
is, because though he hold the bal
ance of power, he is not the majority,
and I want htm to come in where it
is warm. . . .
The Mexican Situation.
"Now there is one thing I have got
a great enthusiasm about, I might say
a reckless enthusiasm, and that is hu
man liberty. The governor has just,
now spoken about watchful waiting in
Mexico. I want to say a word about
Mexico, or not so much about Mexico
as about our attitude towards Mexi
co. 1 hold it as a fundamental prin
ciple, and so do you, that every peo
ple has the'right to determine Its
own form of government;' and until
this recent revolution in Mexico, un
til the ?nd of the Diaz regime,-eighty
per cent, of the people in Mexico
never had a 'look in* in determining
who should be - their governors or
what their government should be. Now
I am for the eighty per cent. It is
none of my business and it Is none of
your business how long they take in
determining it. It Is none of my bus
iness, and it is none of yours how
they go about the business. The coun
try is theirs. The government is
theirs. The liberty, if they can get It,
and Good speed them in getting It, is
theirs.- And so far as my influence
goes while I am president, nobody
shal interfere with them.
"That Is what I men n by a great
emotion, the great emotion of sym
pathy. Do you suppose that tho Amer
ican peoplo are ever going to count
a small amount of material benefit and
advantage to people doing business In
Mexico against the liberties and the
premanent happiness of the Mexican
people? Ha'fo not European 'nations
taken aa long as they wanted -and spilt
as much blood as they pleased hi se-t
tling their affairs, and shall wo, deny
that to Mexico because she is weak?
No, I say? I am proud to belong to a
strong nation that, says: 'This coun
try, which we could crush, shall have
Just as much freedom In her own af-j
fairs as wo have?' If I am strong, I
am ashamed to bully'the weak. ' In
proportion to my ^strength is my
pride in withholding that strengt!
from the oppression' of another peo
ple.
"And I know, when I speak these
things (not merely from the generous
response with which they have-Just
met from you, mit from my long time
knowledge of the American people)
that that is the sentiment of tho Amer-'
lean peoplo.

Business Conditions.
"I have been talking with business
men recently about the present state
of mind of American business. There
is nothing the matter with American
business except a state of mind.
Commenting^upon the motto of the
Indianapolis chamber of commerce,
"If You Are Going to Buy it, Buy it
Now," the president said it is just as
Bafe to buy now as it ever will he and
that if the buying is started there will
be no end to it. The president said
he was sure of that because he had
taken counsel with the men who know
and that all that is needed in America
now is to believe in that future. He
said that he could assure his hearers
as ono of those who spoke for the
Democratic party that it is perfectly
safe to believe in the future.
'We are so much the friends of busi
ness that we were for a .little time the
enemies of those who were trying to
control business. I say for a little
time because we are now reconciled
to them. They have graciously admit
ted that we had a right to do what we
did do. and th?y have very handsomely
said that they were going to play the
game.
-"I believe, I .always believed, that
American business men were absolute
ly sound at heart, but men immersed
in business do a lot of things that op

circumstances they would not do; and
I have thought all along that all that
was necessary to do was to call their
attention -sharply to the kind of re
forms in business which were neces
sary and that they woUld acquiesce,'
and I believe they have heartily ac
quiesced. There is all tn*i more rea
son therefore, that greit and small,
we should be confident In the future.
And what a future it is my friends!

likely to he a'.so whet America herself
from the first intended to be, the ser
