Roanoke, Va, October 7.--John w. Kern. the democratic candidate for Vice President( denounced in no uncertain terms before big audience here tonight the participation of President Roosevelt in the national campaign, declaring that he had brought the high office he occu- pied to the level of ward politics.
 "When virginians. in common with all Americans, reflect upon how the conduct of President Roosevelt, in its fulmlna- ton of political phill' pies. reelSs with par tisan bitterness and sectional denuncia- tion." he said, they must feel the degra- dation brought upon the office and the humiliation upon their countrymen."
 MT. Kern, accompanied by Col. J. Ham Ilton Lewis of Chicago, reached Roanoke from Winston-Salem, N. C., late in the evening and went directly to the big skating rink where a crowd that packed the place had waited for more than an hour for their appearance. Tonights meeting concludes the joint southern tour of MT. Kern and MT. Lewis. From here the former goes for day to visit a sister in the country near this city, and then to West Virginia and the east.
 Colonel Lewis will address the faculty and students of the University of Virz einia. his old college, tomorrow night at Charlottesville, where he will reply to a speech made by Judge Taft to Vlr- ginia republicans

ROOSEVELTIAN METHODS
 HUMlLIATE AMERICANS

MT. Kern spoke briefly devoting his at tention' chiefly to the activity of the Pres ident in the campaign.
 Here in Virginia, he said, where Vir- ginians without regard to party name, en- JOY the pride afforded by the memory and history of Washington and Jefferson, Madison and Monroe. Here you men must recall the dignity with which these men invested the high office of President as by them it was exalted upon the plane of the sovereignty of kings and was main tained with that sacred spirit of elegance and dignity as became their station.
 "Virginians must now, indeed, feel from time to time a keen sense of shame and humiliation when the example of these distinguished men is compared with the antics that have lately characterized the course of the present occupant of the White House.
 And it is sadder still to contemplate that the present distinguished occupant of the White House who has brought about this spectacular and deplorable con- dition which now surrounds the office of President is even now-if we can trust the public press-delberating as to whether he shall still further degrade it by be- coming a crossroads hustings orator in behalf of a partisan candidate, and bring ing himself to the level of the small poli- tieian, engaged in conflict out of hatred for an opponent or for the hope of petty office
 AS a citizen l would deplore the spec tacle, as a candidate l naturally would welcome it as making surer that which is already sure-the election of the demo- cratic national ticket"

Turkey Is In Line.

St Petersburg, October 7.-Turkey has fallen into line with the Russian pro- posal to convene a congress of the pow CTS for a general revision of the Berlin treaty, which, it is believed here, will ul- timately be accepted by all the signatory powers.
 To Turkey really belongs the formal in itiative of the congress, since in her note of protest against the Bulgarian declara- ton of independence. which the Turkish ambassador transmitted to M Tcharykoff, the acting foreign minister, this after noon the porte appeals to the powers in the interest of peace to use their efforts ito restore order" in the rebellious pro- vinces, and suggests conference as d suitable means to that end, Turkey be- ing unwilling to resort to the sword,
 Pour parlers, with regard to the Rus sian invitation to hold a congress, are still in progress.
 The circular note with regard to this will not be issued at present, but will be deferred until all the powers have sig nifed their intention to accept. Austria Hungary still maintains that she will not submit the question of the annexation to the powers for adjudication, but the opin- ion is held in Russian official circles that she is simply waiting for terms the Aus trian representatives seemingly viewing the congress as practical certainty. The responses of France and Italy are consid- cred favorable and it Is believed that Great Brtains objections to a conference, although serious, are not unsurmount- lh

France Hears From Turkey.

Paris. October 7.-The Turkish cir cular protesting against the Bulgarian proclamation was transmitted to M. Pichon, the foreign minister, this aft ernoon. After energetically calling attention to the fragrant violation of the treaty of Berlin, Turkey makes an insistent appeal to the signatories of the treaty to advise the porte at the earliest possible moment what dis positions, such as an international con- ference, they propose to take, ito ex- anime the conditions for the re-es- tablishment of legal order in Bulgaria and eastern Roumelias and for the maintenance of the interests which in- ternational treaties assure Turkey"
 In conclusion the circular says:
 "The Ottoman government could have recourse to force. but respecting treaties and solicitous for the com mon interests and appreciating the necessity for European peace, neither prefers to avoid such extremity and, therefore. calmly awaits tlie decision of the powers, at the same time express iy reserving to itself all the rights guar anteed by international ocnventions.

LABOR LEADER IS
 NOT FOR TAFT

Washington, october 7.-(speciaL)- James Duncan, first vice president or the American F federation of Labor, to- night nailed the republican campaign lie to the effect that he had deserted Pres ident Gompers and the federation and would support Taft for the presidency. For ten days the republican newspapers have been printing these stories so per sistently that they had come to be rec ognized as accurately representing MT Duncan's views. He repudiates the sug- gestion absolutely. An official of the federation this morning sent the follow ing telegram to MT. Duncan;
 "Republican papers everywhere declar- ing YOU have deserted Gompers. Please wire for publication as to whether this is true or false and also whether you are supporting the political programme of the executive council of the American Federation of Labor.
 To this MT. Duncan sent the following telegraphic reply
 Am not responsible for sensational headlines or for problematical editorial expressions of republican papers. They form no part of my letter nor are they constituted therefrom. My letter was self explanatory and is the true position of labor movement. President Gompers and I are in unison now, as we have been for many years, on the present as well as other principles and policies of the labor movement. l helped draft the re- cent circular as well as programme of the executive council of the American Federation of Labor and support them now as then and my letter to which yol refer was in accordance herewith as well as in conformity with President Gompers' official statements of same subject He has been misquoted and has corrected the error time and again with little sat isfaction and neither he nor l can be held responsible for newspaper scare heads. even when they should represent the subject matter in the body of the statement and intentionally or otherwise fail to do so. l repeat this is not L partisan contention on the part of or ganized labor. It's interests have been as sailed by judicial derision and congress failed to give relief and now an appeal for justice is made to all the people on broad general lines and it is the duty of labor officials to give the true facts to inc working people who in turn will use the information and as true Amer ican citizens will vote on election day as their consciences will dictate"

 The party leaders are confident that many doubtful voters will be moved to fall in and Loyalty vote the ticket at the November election.

Incident Took Place Monday When Welsh Choir Singers Were Guests. Judge Parker Speaks Effect
 ively In Maryland.

Washington October 7.-(SpecialD-- President Roosevelt offered sherry 10 the members of the Mountain Ash choir of Wales Monday afternoon and they de- clined to accept it. Secretary Edwards. of the world-famous choir, happened to mention the incident at temperance meeting in the Hamne M. F. church last night and the big audience of white ribboners uprose as one man and gave the Chautauqua salute. MT, Edwards, forgetting for the instant that in sev- eral states, notably Indiana, the repub- licans have been seeking to make an issue on the prohibition question, told the whole story of President Roosevelts rendering to the Weshmen wine and their polite refusal to partake of it at the hands of the republican leader. That wine was served in the White House as- tonished them greatly.
 "When the tray with the glasses was passed to us we declined with thanks. We are all prohibitionists.
 This is the utterance of Secretary Ed wards.
 MT. Edwards had just told the assem- blaze of the way the President applaud ed the singing of Men of Harlech," and how Mrs. Roosevelt beamed with pleasure when the chorus sang "Old Black Joe" Then he spoke of the in- cident of the refusal of White House sherry.
 As the chorus finished" said MT. Ed wards, 'tone of the doors leading into the room where the concert was given was opened An attendant entered, car rying a large tray on which were glasses containing sherry.
 "He passed to the first man in the line of the chorus. He declined with thanks. The next man did the same thing and the next and the next.
 By that time the attendant knew that something was wrong. He lost no time in beating a nasty retreat
 As MT. Edwards closed his recital the great audience arose as one per, son and gave the salute.
 T shall remember the incident for a long time,' said Rev Charles Guth rie, pastor of Hamline church, to- day Ut showed such loyalty to the temperance cause and was, indeed, an inspiration to witness" continued the pastor.
