one deer mid It was a buck, but Mr.
Peterson In searching the camp found
three hind fc-gs f deers. one of them

Ex-Presldent Will Make Speech
Originally Planned He Doubts
Republican Success, s Old
Guard Will Vse Knife.
CTICA, N. Y., Aug. 24. Theodore
Roosevelt served notice today that be
would wage war without quarter on the
"old guard" of the Republican party In
New York State. Having been drawn
Into the flght, as he says, against his
will, he has determined to pursue It to
the end, win or lose.
Mr. Roosevelt's Intention was indi
cated more clearly than at any time be
fore by a statement which he issued to
day. The Colonel said he was going"
into the flght with his eyes open and
with full realization of the fact that he
might not be successful.
He said that he felt that, owing to the
attitude of members of the organization,
he was at perfect liberty to carry on un
compromising warfare.
Give Old -Guard All Fight It Wants.
When a statement by- William Barnes,
Jr., the Albany leader, to the effect that
there would be a flght In the convention
against Its domination by Roosavelt, was
read to him, Mr. Roosevelt said:
"They will have all the flght they want,
f am only going to the convention be
cause I feel that the interests of the peo
ple of New York demand that the Re
publican party be given a ciisnce to
stand squarely and uncompromisingly for
clean, decent, honest politics.
"I go to that convention to make the
speech exactly as it had been planned
originally, and. while I hope there will
be enough good sense to prevent anyone
opposing the principles for which I shall
stand, yet. If they do oppose them, then
it is their own affair and, so far as I am
concerned, the issue shall be absolutely
clean cut."
Fidelity of Machine Doubted.
Some of Colonel Roosevelt's closest
friends in the state have told him they
are doubtful of the outcome and he has
replied tlmt he himself felt that, even
though he should be successful in the
state convention at Saratoga and such
a platform as he desired should be adopt
ed, the result of the election would be
In grave doubt. The Colonel has told
his friends that he did not feel sure the
Roosevelt-Hughes forces would receive
unqualified support from the organization
at the polls.
Colonel Roosevelt's indorsement of
State Senator Frederick Davenport yes
terday was the flret step in the fighf
which he expects to carry on from now
until election time. He decided today to
go to the state fair in Syracuse on Sep
tember 17 to speak and at that time he
may talk politics.

Beautiful Denver Damsel Is Prize
for Which Student and Friend
Are Strenuous Rivals.
SEATTLE. Wash., Aug. 24. (Spe
cial.) Starting another lap in his long
distance courtship of Miss Marjorie
Campbell, a beautiful society belle of
Denver, Douglas Lawson, son of
Thomas W. Lawson, of Boston, this
morning hurriedly left Seattle in a
fast train flight to meet the fair West
ern maid and her mother in Portland.
Opposing the son of the Eastern mil
lionaire Is E. D. BerL of San Francisco.
Tha young men are firm friends In
everything but their competition for
the affections of Miss Campbell. There
they are believers In and bare-faced
practitioners of the old creed, "All's
fair in love and war."
Lawson Is due back In college. His
father particularly desires the younir
man to complete his course at Har
vard. The Imperative call, it is said,
has been wafted across the rolling prai
ries and majestic mountains from dear
old Boston to Seattle, Instructing the
youthful scion of the Lawson millions
to como home.
- Some of Lawson's excitement mav
have resulted from knowledge that
Berl would be in Portland when tho
train reached the city by the Willam
ette to greet fair Miss Campbell. In
any event, the ardent suitor caught
the earliest through train south. He
now is counting the miles between Se
attle and the Hotel Portland, where
Mrs. Campbell and her daughter are to
lodge. Probably It will be the longest
Journey in point of heart flutterings
the youthful Douglas ever essayed.
Young Mr. Berl, opportunist from the
Golden State, entered the love game
In Alaska at the same time that Law
son was smitten. The young men
toured Alaska together and met Miss
Campbell at the same time. It was a
case of love at first sight in botli cases.
