ROOSEVELT, THE ROUGH RIDER
A Warm Welcome Given New York,s
Governor by n Great Crowd
at Kansas City.

Kansas City, Mo. July 3.-Gov. Theo-
dorc Roosevelt of New York was given
a remarkable reception in this city.
The governor, on his way from New
York to attend the annual reunion of
the Rough Riders, which takes rlace
this week at Oklahoma City, Okla ar
rived here at about o: 30 a. M, and for
half an hour democrats and republi-
cans alike united in giving him a vocif-
erous welcome and in shaking his
hand until he was glad to quit. The
Santa Fe overland train on which Gov.
Roosevelt was travelling was due at
$3.50 a. m. AT that time about 1000 peo-
pie had congregated in the Union
depot sheds to get a glimpse of New
fork's governor, but by the time the
train pulled in fully 1000 were jammed
along the platforms, sitting on the
roofs of the train sheds and clinging
to the iron girders. Shortly before
Gov. Roosevelt's train arrived a big
delegation of Kansas democrats and a
few delegates from that state, all car
rying huge sunfowers, arrived, and
they also waited to see the republican
leader.
The instant the train stopped rush
was made for the platform to shake
Gov. Rooseyelt's hand and it took the
united efforts of a score of policemen
stationed around the car to keep the
crowd from degenerating into per-
feet mob. For twenty minutes the
governor was kept busy shaking
hands with enthusiastic men and WON
en- who succeeded N crowding up to
the car platform. Several members OF
the Rough Rider regiment attircd in
khaki. were among those at the sta
ton, and to these the governor gave an
especially cordial greeting. The crush
during the struggle to shake Gov
Roosevelt's hand was terrible, and sev.
eral women tainted in the crowd. No
one, however, was seriously hurt.
