STREETS THRONCED.
BigCrowds Turn Out to ROose-
velt Meeting at Syracuse.

Syracuse, N. Y, Oct 26.-The closing
speeches of an arduous day in the Roose-
welt campaign were made at Auburn and
Syracuse, after jumps through widely
divergent counties. Altogether it was
favorable day, because while i'll Auburn
and Syracuse there were several inter
ruptions, the questions and answers
were rather in a good-natured form,
and there was no friction which in
dicated a desire on either the part of the
queStioner or ansWerer to enter into
personal controversy.
Syracuse itself was a blaze of light
while thousands of people thronged the
streets. The auditorium where the
speechmal1ing was held, and the square
where the outside meeting took place,
were both much too small to accommo-
date those who desired to hear Governor
Roosevelt
In Auburn three meetings had to be
held to accommodate the people. 1t was
at this place that the first serious in
terruption of the day occurred. The
governor had started at the first meet
ing on an exposition of the trust ques-
ton. During his remarks man in the
upper gallery cried out: "Hurrah for
Bryan"
''Why?' retorted the governor, squar-
ing himself toward the place from
whence the cry came and pausing for a
reply, which was not made.
HE does not know" said the gov
ernor smiling. 1T means just about
that grade of intelligence"
The governor said referring to the

peka mothers:
Mrs. Fred Danek, of SIS West First

mending such an effective remedy as
Doan's Kidney Pills. My boy, seven
years old, suffered from kidney weakness
for three years or more, having no con-
troll over the kidney secretions whatever.
This was very noticeable and annoying
at night, and various remedies I gave
him had no effect. Nothing reached his
case until I got box Of Doans Kidney
