MORE SPEED PROMISED
Minnesota Leaders Are, Advised to
Put State Ticket In Field Un
less They Can Capture
Organization Bodily.
ST. PAUL. Sent. 25. Minnesota heard
first hand from Colonel Roosevelt to
day his reasons for asking support
for the new party. The CMlonel spent
the day in St. Paul and Minneapolis,
made three speeches and was welcomed
enthusiastically in both cities. He
resumed his Journey westward to
night with Grand Forks, N. D., as his
next stopping point. '
Colonel Roosevelt's principal address
was delivered at the Minnesota State
Fair. Standing on a platform built in
a shady spot, the Colonel looked down
over the heads of a throng which ex
tended on all sides beyond the range of
his voice. He declared that the nomi
nation of Woodrow 'Wilson at Balti
more was arranged by the Democratic
"bosses."
He expounded the Roosevelt Progres
sive ideas upon the tariff, Canadian
reciprocity, the courts, cooperation of
the Government and the farmers to Im
prove the yield of farms and measures
to better the condition of wage
markets.
"lmy Sermon" Delivered.
Then he went to Minneapolis, and
after a luncheon attended by several
hundred members of the Minnesota
Progressive League he delivered what
he called a lay sermon in which he
gave his views upon the significance
of the "progressive movement from
the standpoint of the moralist rather
than the politician. He made a brief
address tonight at the fairgrounds,
where he attended a "farm dinner."
"I am in this movement," said Colo
nel Roosevelt in his address in Minne
apolis after the luncheon, "because it
springs, as every great movement
must, from the conscience of the peo
ple. The politicians have been deaf
and blind because they . have ignored
the fact that in the last few years
there has been a steady growth of
discontent with the slipshod inefficiency
in dealing with the great economic,
industrial and political problems of the
day.
Proper Standard la Essential.
"If I have rendered any service it
has been to bring about the movs
ment a little quicker than it would
otherwise have come. When we get
the proDer standards It will be im
possible to have a repetition of such
- thefts as were practiced at Chicago.
When we get the proper standards we
will see that any man who profits by
such theft or condones it Is unwortny
of public confidence."
Colonel Roosevelt drifted for a mo
ment into practical politics, saying
that Governor Wilson had said the
Democratic platform was not a pro
gramme. "Then what Is it?" he asked. "The
minute any men announce that their
platform does not tell the truth they
condemn themselves for putting It out
and they condemn the man who is com
pelled to stand upon it."
Capture of Regulars Urged.
Colonel Roosevelt spent an hour in
consultation with Minnesota Progres
sive leaders, who wanted his advice
as to whether a Roosevelt Progres
sive state ticket should be named. Colo
nel Roosevelt expressed the opinion
that the "Progressives" should name
their own ticket straight down the line,
although If the Progressive Republi
cans should win at the Republican pri
maries this month he thought such a
step might not be necessary.
He is willing to abandon the Roose
velt Progressive state ticket, he told
the Minnesota leaders, only If it is
possible to take over the Republican
organization bodily.
is declared by the committee greatly to
have affected the enthusiasm of the
British competitors. Owing to want of
funds, they also were deprived of op
portunities for training under trainers
acauainted with the best scientific
methods.
It rests with the British public says
the report, whether this state of things
shall be remedied in the luure.
WOLGAST'S ARM IS IXJCRED
Fight With McFarland Slay Have to
Be Postponed as Result.
CADILLAC. Mich, Sept. 6. Ad Wol
liehtweieht pugilist champion,
sustained an apparently severe injury
to one of his arms today while crank
ing his motor car.
A nhvslcian declared the accident
will keep Wolgast out of the rlnp for
six weeks, which, if true, means that
his match with Packey McFarland In
New Yorjt this month will probably be
postponed.
As soon' as possible Wolgast's In
jured arm will be placed under an
X-ray. The fighter cried bitterly while
being treated In a doctor s omce, real
izing that his fight with Packey Mc
Farland will have to be called off. at
least temporarily.

Burns, of Oakland, and "One-Round"

the other candidates on the ticket. This
Indorsement came from T. R. Berry,
of Gresham, committeeman in precinct

I have noted from time to time with great
satisfaction the resolutions- and acts of the

It Is time that Intelligent men who are
Republicans for reason should stand shoulder

progress these shifty, weak-Kneed canaiaates
who mlMake the "bir noise" for the real
thing. Our fight, I take It, is In behalf of
those candidates who are brave enougn

SEAGIRT. N. J.. Sept. 5. Governor
Wilson received two delegations of
Italians today, one from Jersey City
and the other from Brooklyn. He
talked to them about Immigration.
"There is no sort of visit more wel
come to me now." he said, "because
fear that things I have written have
been most srrossly misinterpreted.
have had frequent occasion recently to
meet delegations similar to this, and it
has been a great gratification to me
that they ell speak in generous mn
guage of appreciation toward myself
and also with an extremely broad
minded apprehension of what my real
position is and of what my real feelings
are.
"America has been enriched by hav
ing the aspirations of some of the nn
est races in the world brought to her
shores. I don't know whether we
ought to rejoice that other countries
are in the same degree impoverished,
but for myself as an American, along
with yourselves, I rejoice most heartily
in the circumstances that men of every
European blood have brought to this
country their highest aspirations be
cause they can't bring these aspirations
without making the country greater
and freer than it would be without
them.
"For myself I have never felt the
slightest Jealousy of the right kind of
immigration. I mean the voluntary
kind. When men of tneir own initia
tive come, with a preliminary love for
or derire for America, to establish
homes for themselves here and to iden
tify themselves with the country, the
result cannot be anything but good for
the country Itself."
The Governor's next speaking en
gagement is Monday at the New Tork
Press Club, when he will analyze the
three political parties and their plat
forms.

gates combined against him and voted

contact with the solid body of the He
publican party."

BRITONS CHAFE AT DEFEAT
Failure at Olympiad Attributed to
Lack of Interest in Empire.
T.OXDOX. Sept. 5. Great Britain's
failure to get better results at the
Olympic games at Stockholm is ex
plained today in the report of the Brit
ish Olympic committee.
"It was not mere specialization
which enabled Sweden and the United
States to do better than the British
empire." says the report. "The only
winner of three gold medals came from
Finland. The Pentathlon and Decath
lon were won by an American who
showed quite extraordinary all-around
ability. Sweden won its points by cul
tivating every form of physical ability
possessed by her inhabitants, and her
strength and capacity as a nation have
been enormously increased In the pro
cess." The lack of serious interest in the
games on the part of the British public
CHICAGO. Sept. E. (Special.)
Nothing could illustrate better Colo
nel Roosevelt's dominant characteris
tic of brutal intolerance toward those
who disagree with him than his sav
age and intemperate attack on Repre
sentatlvc Bartholdt. of bt. Louis, as
reported by press dispatches this
morning," said ex - Representative
Scott, director of the publicity bureau.
at the Taft headquarters in this city,
when he read today the published ac
counts of Colonel Roosevelt's reference
to the well-known champion of inter
national arbitration in a speech deliv
ered at St. Louis yesterday.
Mr. Scott said that Mr. Bartholdt
had been tho one member of Congress
whom Republicans and! Democrats
alike had been pleased to honor, that
his standing among his fellow German
Americans was attested by his repeat
ed re-elections to Congress and that he
was respected everywhere for his
fairness and courtesy.

NOMINEE OX PROHIBITIONIST
TICKET ASSAILS T. H.
Vice-Presidential Candidate Hits at
Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson
With Equal Vigor.
ADA, O., Sept. 5. In this, his home
city and the seat of Ohio Northern
University, with which he was so long
connected, Aaron 8. TVatklns was to
day notified of his nomination for the
vice-presidency by the National con
vention of the Prohibition party. Many
Prohibition party leaders from vari
ous parts or the united states were
present-
Mr. watklns declared that his party
was the only one with a united front.
Progressive platform and candidates
In harmony with its. principles. The
old parties, he said, were discredited,
and ."the new party, so recently born,
while professing to be a protest against
one-man power ana steam-rollers, is
nothing but the lengthened shadow of
the Big Chief Roosevelt." or the "Old
parties" and the candidates, he said:
Most of the presidential candidates
this year are running counter to oth
er previous record or to the history and
declarations of their parties. One
Imagines himself to be the only ideal
and genuine Progressive; and yet.
with bis rash declarations, coarse lan
guage, and pugilistic manner, he has
seriously retarded the cause of real
Progressive political reform. With
the voice of a boss, he drives toward
reforms which he could not even dis
cover in the days when they needed
friend; but now. after the battle has
been largely fought, and the victory
is coming in sight, he shouts so loud
that the real Progressives are not
heard.
He fights against reforms that he
accepted when they were new ana
promised to be popular. He dlscred
Its his own Judgment by asserting the
ncapaclty of the man he appointed
for the Presidency for an ' interval.
and curses the same old steam-roller
that he oiled and delivered to his
lieutenant four years ago.
"He considers it an awful sin to
steal a few delegates, but the height of
statesmanship to steal the entlra Pres
idency from the man to whom he so
graciously presented it.
Another candidate confesses great
concern for the staDtnty and dignity
of the country and party, but by his
bulldog pertinacity in insisting on a
renomlnation that the people did not
want to bestow, he has endangered
the party and seriously disturbed the
country.
Another candidate poses as a Pro
gressive, but represents the 'party that
for a half-century was the great reac
tionary force in American politics,
and when placed in power, had been
negative so long, that it did not
now how to be positive.

Bryan Says Issue Is of Pri
mary Importance.
Democrats would carry nearly - every
state this Fall.
Replying to a question as to what
was the supreme issue in the present
campaign, Mr. Bryan said:
"President Taft says it is the preser
vation of a Constitutional Government
in the United States, but comparative
ly few voters share Mr. Taft's convic
tions. "Roosevelt says the overthrow of the
bosses is the supreme issue, but to my
mind everything seems to depend on
whether the bosses are for him or
against him.
"Democrats regard the tariff ques
tion a3 the paramount issue and they
are not surprised to see Roosevelt and
Taft -dodging It."
Mr. Bryan leaves tomorrow morning
for a week's rest at Grand Lake. Colo

DENVER. Sept. 5. "If Roosevelt

of more importance in this campaign
than any economic issue. The evils re
sulting from any other issues could
more easily be corrected than the evils
that would arise froni the overthrow
of the two-term limit for Presidents."
