HUTCHINSON. Kas., Sept. 2s.-The
first day In Kansas OF the Roosevelt
campaign has been successful as far as
audiences and interest are concerned.

interest greater than at any other
time during the trip west of the Miss
issippi river. Big meetings were held
at Abilene, salina and Lindsborg. Tho
last meeting Of the day was ut this
place and as 1t was q night meeting and
had been well prepared for and adver-
tlsed, 1t was by far the greatest DEM
onstratlon Of the day.

state OF Kansas arranged to-day for
seventeen speeches for Governor

q day journey OF 400 miles. The result
has been that the special Roosevelt
train did not reach Hutchinson until 10
o'clock, two hours and half late. The
train failed to run on schedule time and
thousands of people were kept in the
open air ut different places along the
road for hours, awaiting the arrival OF
the train.

ranged for eighteen speeches In this
state tomorrow.
At Phillipsburg. very large crowd
assembled, to which Governor Roosevelt
spoke briefly.
At Smith Centre there were many
men and women on the platform and
around the station. Apparently the en-
tire population of Mankato and the
surrounding district had assembled at
the little station at Mankato to see
and hear the candidate for Vice presi-
dent.
At Belleville the governor was taken
from the train and placed on plat
form nearby He spoke for ten minutes
to very large bunch OF listeners. Six
or seven hundred people had assembled
mt Clyde. When the train pulled in

|sRoqsevelt's campalgn<began early in
Kansas this morning. The first step
made by the special train on its way to
Kansas City was at Jennings at I
O'Clock, where the New York executive
spoke q few words to the small crowd
on the platform from the rear end of
the car. Norton was reached at s
o'clock and here the governor left the
train, was escorted to platform in the
open air, whore he made his second
speech In Kansas.
Governor Roosevelt reminded his
hearers that in 1860 Kansas had stood
for liberty In deed and not In name
only; for that liberty that knows how
to govern itself and therefore how to
govern others. He said they would be
unworthy sons IL they dtd. not try to
maintain the heritage for which their
fathers hadsshed their blood
At Prairie View governor was In
troduced from the rear end OF the
platform to the crowd on the ground.
II am told that there is here n settle
ment from the land from which my an
cestors came. Is 1t true? (Cries OF
Yes, yes.O II you will let n Dutch
man give word of advice I will give
1t. Out In the land from which my an
cestors came they keep the flood out BY
dykes. AS you know. Holland has been
won from the sea. They put the dykes
up to keep the water out. The only way
to land can be cultivated is to keep
the water out. During the last four
years in this country We have been put
ting up big dyke TO keep Organism
out. 1 hope no one is going to be fool
!sh enough to break down the dykes"
