CHEERS FOR ROOSEVELT.
THEY STOP LIND4BURY.
Enthusiasm for President at Nezcark
Pcrier Meeting.

Judge Parker struck a Republican wave of
enthusiasm in Newark last night that for nearly
an hour knocked the pins from under the Demo
Gratis and turned the great mass meeting in the
Essex Troop armory into redhot demonstra-
tion for President Roosevelt. From o'clock
it largely a Parker meeting.
The meeting was planned for Parker dem
onstration. The riding academy, with its tan
bark floor furnished room for 10000 people.
About five thousand of the ten thousand appar-

Richard Y. Lindabury, the presiding officer.
started in to smash Roosevelt the Newark rough
riders, unmindful of the amenities intent only
on resenting a blow, sent rolling over the great
inclosure, as large almost as Madison Square
Garden, a mighty chorus of cheers for the ma
tion's Executive
1t a crushing rebuke. It was a powder
mill explosion, bowling sou 'wester." a falling
of mighty cedars, a mountain avalanche. a
charge of Jersey lightning all rolled into one.

But the Roosevelt earthquake sprung by Rich

thatscounted in Newark last night. that dwarfed
all other features. Mr.. Lndabury started in
to lash Roosevelt, and he received terrific pun
ishment. Mr.. Lindabury attacked the Repub-
can administration for its handling of the
Panama affair. He charged that there was
conspiracy to overthrow Colombian control of

That was far as the speaker got for the
next two minutes. Like thundercIap from
clear sky came roof splitting shouts for Roose-

the other rolled the volume of cheers. The
speaker halted, raised his deprecatingly
and waited. The Roosevelt cheers resounded
through the Academy.

Lindabury, then vote for Roosevelt"-
I'VE will; will 'Rah for Roosevelt! Roose-

The cheers that swept over the concourse be-

The Democrats were aghast. The Roosevelt
men seemed to be in the majority. The speaker
in anger and desperation. began again:
1T is clear that the prosperity of the country
has been marvellous in the last four years.
Right, right. 'Rah for Roosevelt rose the

After assailing Corteyou Mr. Lindabury
asked:

the answer.
Again the Roosevelt rooters broke into the
speech when Lindabury. with impassoned voice
said:
BE not too ready to applaud the man on

They were more than ready, and the name OF
Roosevelt was again hurled at the speaker.
Lindabury struggled on. but he made no more
reference to President Roosevelt.

William H. F Fielder Democratic candidate
