Governor Roosevelt stayed in the car
tonight, declining several invitations
from residents. Colonel Hall. secretary of
the state committee, says West Virginia
is safely Republican. There are vague
rumors here tonight of possible trouble at
Hinton where Governor Roosevelt speaks
tomorrow night.
In spite of all his objections. Governor
Roosevelt made a speech at Akron this
morning, and he had difficulty i'm doing it.
He had been interrupted i'm other places
with yells for Bryan and impertinent re-
marks, had spoken in opposition TO the
noise of brass bands and the tramp of
thousands of feet. but not before had he
gone into contest with swishing, rum
bling, whistling locomotives, of which he
had half a dozen to contend with in Akron.
The train. having left Cleveland at 3 a. m.
reached Akron soon after O'Clock and was
held on a siding. Before o'clock a crowd
began to gather and at band came
alongside the Governors car, giving a
serenade. When the Governor appeared on
the platform of his he given a
duced while so many trains were passing
that for five minutes he could not begin
his speech. He appealed 10 the voters OF
Akron on the grounds OF prosperity and pa
triotism At one time the noise made by
the engines was so great that the Governor
said: This speech will read like a serial
story"
