DON'T TRUST EN-
ROOSEVELT'S WARNING AS TO
THE SIXTEEN TO
ONEITES.
Beware of False Prophecies-The
Rough Rider Greeted by a Great
Crowd at Milwaukee, to Whom He
Delivers the Most Stirring Speech
of the Campaign.

Milwaukee, July 1S.-Goevernol
Roosevelt arrived here at 1910 O'Clock
this morning on his return journey tc
New York. He will return direct tc
New York. reaching Chicago at l p. m.
by the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Pau.
road, and departing for New York at
$50.
Governor Roosevelt stated that he ex-
poets to begin his campaign about Sep
TENDER 10, but the place of the opening
speech he has not yet determined and
will be governed by circumstance yet
to be developed.
The vice presidential candidate was
greeted in this city by a crowd of about
5000 persons. He was introduced to
the gathering by United States Senator
Quarles and was cheered most enthusi-
astically. Governor Roosevelt said in
part:
Il am glad to have the chance of say
ing even a word to you and l speak in
this campaign of feeling not mercy to
republicans; l appeal to all good citi-
zens who hold the commonwealth dear;
l appeal to the whole land, who value
our well being at home, to all who hon
or the flag and wish to see it upheld
in the face of all powers of the earth.
This campaign is more than a party
campaign. This is a campaign which
has to decide at the outset of the TWEEN
tieth century whether we are to stride
forward with the steps of a giant on the
path which has been set out for us, or
whether We are to shrink backward. l
appeal to the whole world who value
prosperity. Judging the future by the
past, o remember, four years ago,
that our opponents p~rophesied that we
can't be prosperous if we don't have 16
to l silver
Has the prophecy turned out a lie?
Don't trust them. Before they prophe-
sled misery if We won; and we o
and prosperity followed. Now if We
should put them in power, you would
see such a chaos of black misery and
distress in this country as a century
and a quarter of life has never seen. l
ask the support Of all men f~ar-sighted
enough to see where the material in
crea of the country lies and not will
ing to see the business welfare of the
country submerged in the tide of dis
aster. l ask the support of all honest
citizens and business men who disbe-
l!eve in anarchy. l L ask for their support
in the name of decency civic honesty and
of liberty that m only with order,
and ask the support Furthermore of
all brave men who know that the great
ness of a nation, as Of the individual,
comes through effort to stand with us
as we make this nation take her place
in the fore front of the nations of man
kind.
Il see before me many men who
wear the buttons, that fought in the
great war. and in a time that tried
mems souls they proved true. We
Cunning aside) only fought a little war
(laughter). You faced four years Of
trial and privations and hardships and
saw the best and bravest among you
shed their blood for the flag. Did you
do that in pursuit of ease? The easy
thing would have been to stay at home.
You remember this at the time when
the blanket proved too heavy by day
and not heavy enough by night? I
have been there. At that time If we
had followed the advice Of the weak
hearted we could have avoided all the
%bloodshed and trouble, the woe and
misery that came to the women and
children who stayed behind. You could
have avoided four years of anxiety
which followed the bloody defeats, and
IL you had done So, we, the sons, wouIo
have hung our heads forever. Tnank
God, the iron and blood Of our fore
fathers who followed Grant and Lin
coin still exists in this generation.
May we show ourselves not unworthy
Of the men who fought from 1861 to
1865 and let us do our duty at home
in the greatest political contest which
has come up in this country that we
have ever seen since the close of the
civil war;
