ming mate, will make n number of
speeches in Montana next month.
United States Senator Thomas IL.

Ii to Sept. q. Senator Carter also
received n telegram from United
States Senator Hanna, chairman of
the Republican committee, stating
that Governor Roosevelt would bein
Montana those dates.
At the preliminary meeting Of the
Mckinley and Roosevelt club held
last Thursday evening. Colonel WE.
Sanders stated that Governor Roose-
welt had told him on the occasion OF
the recent meeting OF Republican
league clubs In st. Paul that he ex-
pected to speak in Montana, but at
that time nothing had beed definitely
determined about his trip.
The Republican state central com
mittee will have general charge Of
Governor Roosevelt's trip through
Montana. The committee will an
nounce at later date just what time
Governor Roosevelt mny be expected
at the various places he will stop In
Montana, and the people themselves
may be expected To do the rest. In
Helena the Mckinley and Roosevelt
club will probably have charge OF ar-
rangements for the reception OF the
next vicc-presldent He will certainly
be given an enthusiastic reception.
Everyone will want To hear Colonel
Roosevelt, who is recognized outside
of his party as well as in 1t as one OF
the greatest men Of his day.
Governor Roosevelt will pass
through Montana over the Northern
Pacific on II special train from st.
Paul. Where IL Is possible To do so,
he will stop at each county seat be-
tween the Dakota line aud Helena
and address the people. Ii pressed
for time he may speak from the plat
form of his ear, but, ut any rate, the
people will be given an opportunity
to hear him. 1t Is expected that his
first speech in Montana will be made
at Glendive. The next stop will be
at Miles City, and from there the run
will be made to Billings, where he
will also speak. Colonel Roosevelt
will address the people OF Helena
Sept. Il. From the capital he will go
to Butte, speaking there Sept. 10. II
Is probable that he will also make an
address at MIssoula. although that
will depend somewhat on the sched-
ule OF his special train. Governor
Roosevelt will go to the coast and
after n number OF speeches in Oregon,
Washington and California, will re.
turn to the east over the Central or
Southern Pacific lines.
Governor Roosevelt has always
felt an interest In Montana, snys
Senator Carter, who knows him
well.
Governor Roosevelt has mnny
friends in this state" said Senator
Carter today, "and know from fire.
quent conversations with him that
he entertains a high opinion of Mon
tana and Its people. Governor Roose.
welt passed some OF the best years oi
his life on the ranges In eastern Mon.
tana and the western part Of North
Dakota, aud IL familiar, might say,
with life and conditions generally in
this part OF the great west. Among
his friends In this state are scores OF
cattlemen and cow boys with whom
he has worked and hunted In the
past. Although long n resident OF
the state Of New York, the west can
certainly claim Colonel Roosevelt,
too. have often thought that much
of his sturdy character was due, per-
haps, to his life on the western plains
Certain Il Is that he has not forgot
ten that life nor the friendships form
ed In those days, for he delights o re-
call his experiences in the saddle
while roaming over the great plains
on the eastern slopes OF the Rocky
mountains"
The people OF Montana are sure to
give Governor Roosevelt a royal wei
