PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
ANSWERS HIS CRITICS
His Speech at Fitchburg Today Was De-
voted to the Trhst Question Other
Points He Spoke Upon Necessity Of
Good Citizenship.
At GARDNER the NATIONAL CHIEF
WAS GREETED BY TEN THOUSAND

Fitchburg, Mass, Sept. 2.-The first
important stop Of President Roosevelt
after he had resumed his travels
through Massachusetts today was at
this city, where he found the people
keeping a general holiday. A stop Of
one hour was made and the president
delivered an address. The president
had a restful night at Northfield. He
took a train at $50. His first speech of
the day was at Miller's Falls, where a
crowd had gathered. The president ex-
pressed his pleasure at meeting three
members of the I'd Massachusetts regi-
ment, which served with him in Cuba.
At Athol and Gardner speeches also
were made. At the latter place fully
10000 people greeted him. Harvard
flags were every wher in evidence and
as the president ascended the platform
a number of college boys gave the col
lege yell. At all of the places where
stops were made, the president spoke
upon the necessity of good citizenship
in order to be successful in life. Presi-
dent Roosevelt in his address at Fitch
burg devoted himself almost exclusive
ly to trusts, which he intended as an
answer to his critics.
