Cannot Call Troops.

Mr.. Dixon referred 10 the fact that
an effort was being made in the west
em part of the state to poison the
minds of the people against President
Roosevelt over his attitude in recent
Colorado troubles. These men know
full well that the president had no
right TO call out the federal troops
There are only two conditions under
which he can do that. They are.
when a governor of a state makes n
request for them or in cases where
federal mails are being interfered with.
The cry has gone up that President
Roosevelt is unsafe. but it falls Hat
upon the ears of the people. RoOse
welt is the idol of their hearts and can
not be defeated"
Mr. Dixon gave a pJntical histOfE
of the Democratic presidential nOmi.
nee, in succinct terms. bringing ont
the point very strongly that he had
been created and reared by David b.
Hill.
