Saturday, November 3rd-Arrive New York City about seven o'clock. It should be in mind looking over this list of appointments, that they were filled after the Oklahoma journey, and that the most important work anyone did at any time during the campaign was after the imposing programme had been carried out, including keeping the peace in New York City by readiness for war, and speaking at Oyster Bay, to home friends and neighbors. The master stroke was the one by which the Governor of the State called down the Mayor of New York City. It was well when the Governor got home that the situation was clear to the Mayor. Mr. Roosevelt preserved his strength for the duties of the closing days of the campaign, by insisting upon regular habits, and subjecting himself and those in his company to a discipline of personal caretaking, the most important item being sufficient sleep, the next moderate eating, simple food, and certain precautions to give Mr. Roosevelt intervals, brief but very desirable, of relief from conversation about the campaign. Of course, such a campaign would have been impossible without the special train system. The use of special trains for political campaigning has been so often tried that it is made scientific. It is well understood what is wanted and how to provide. The railroad facilities do almost, if not altogether, as much to hold the vast diversified Union together, as the reference of local questions to the States and the identification of specialties with sections-all aiding in keeping the balance of trade with us. The fact that the National Capital, near the Eastern border, appears immovable is accounted for by the steel roads across the continent, the comfort of travel and the rapidity of journeys. An argument for not securing our title to Oregon was that if a Representative had to make an annual journey between his constituency and the seat of government, his whole time would be taken up, as it was a six months' ride from where the Oregon rolled to where the Potomac lapsed into the tidal water. An anti-Oregon speech to this effect was made in Congress. Now one can make the trip in a week and rest two of the days. on The most superb special train that ever made so long an excursion before the one provided for President McKinley and Mrs. McKinley and the Cabinet across the continent, and were as often as desired in direct contact by wire with the several Departments, was that of Governor Roosevelt in 1900. The headquarters of the Government of the United States the train, and all business transacted as promptly as if the responsible men were in Washington. The freedom of the news that is gathered from all parts of the world, the easy and thrifty use of the telegraph and telephone from city to city, the speed and regularity of the mails, the impossibility of a monopoly of news; the certainty that all the news of all the peoples and nations is sold. for a cent a day, puts the busy millions and the master minds in close connection. The Capital City may be thousands of miles away, but it is heard from every hour, makes it near for all. Time and space are annihilated by wires. No man who labors is without means, except when in sudden trouble, to buy from day to day the news of the world, and with that there is a ready solution of mysteries, and common intelligence is kindred to general opportunity. The private car that may travel a mile a minute is an expensive luxury -a home restricted in latitude crossing the continent, but not parallels. As it was public policy for the President to remain at his country home, and address the public in written communications, when the issue of his re-election was before the people, it was held to be required that the VicePresidential candidate should be called upon to go forth to meet the people. Mr. Roosevelt's tour carried him before the people of half the States of the Union. He was at the front where the combat was hard and hot, meeting audiences aggregating millions, journeying more than twenty-two thousand miles -all this within eight weeks. His special train consisted of observation, dining, sleeping and luggage cars, and one for passing guests and committees. There were reliable railroad employees-experts in all the offices of handling trains and serving travelers. The main matter was to give the Governor of New York, and candidate for the Vice-Presidency, such attention that he should |
