Congress, in contemplating rebuke
to President Roosevelt for LANGUAGE
used in his annual message concerning
the operation of the secret service, is
holding frebrand over powder
magazine.
President Roosevelt now declares
with characteristic emphasis that if an
attempt is made to put him in false
light before the country he win send
a special message to congress detail
ing specific instances of improper con
nection of certain members with
"venal influence.
The president is content at present
to rest on his official utterances rela-
tive to the bad judgment of congress
in cutting down the appropriations for
the secret service and legislating to
limit its operation, but if his attitude
is brought into question he proposes
to show the country that what he said
was fully justified
The president contends that certain
members of congress have private af-
filiations inimical to the spirit of good
government and he today informed
some of his visitors that he is in pos
session of records that will by the
bare recital, fully establish his charge
that the reason congress limited the
operations of the secret service was
because of the fear of members that
2 they might be investigated.
The present instance is somewhat

Coffee aud sandwiches we're served
throughout the day to voters and

At , O'Clock the ladies aud chit
dren took up their march again
and vocal and instrumental music
rang in the breeze, aud it seemed
to say we are in earnest" Many
of the notices were beautiful aud
touching in sentiment. One little
fellow trotted along with Papa,
vote for me-" A little girl held
up, Vote for your wife and ba.
bies;" Another, Vote for Home. "
A large banner each, Brothers,
vote for God and Home aud Ma.
tive Land"
All the notices were designed
to appeal to the love and affection
of the voters, aud not harsh OF
rough sentiment was expressed.
The ladies worked with untirine
zeal all day while their fathers and
brothers did the voting. j. &. De-
LnpOrie aud many others worked
