Warmth on That Account,
SOME POLITICAL GOSSIP

Utica, \. y, Aug. 23.-TheOdOre
Roosevelt wound up the first day
OF his pilgrimage into the west by
placing himself directly in opposition
Ia Vice President Sherman.
Speaking today Ina the vice presidents
own country, he warmly endorsed state
senator Frederick Davenport, who Is a
staunch progressive, and whom MIR.
sherman has said that he would not
support. MIR. sherman was ont of town
today and did not see Colonel ROOse-
Welt
IL was late in the afternoon when
Colonel Roosevelt reached summit
park, summer resort overlooking the
Mohawk river. Ten thousand persons
who attended the Grange picnic there
today were waiting for him and raised
a cheer as the eX-Presfdent appeared
on the platform.
Colonel Roosevelt spied Senator Dav-
export at once. and he, greeted him
warmly. AS soon as he began his
speech he turned TO the senator and
said:
Il am glad to see you on the plat
form. Senator Davenport. The only
kind of politics 1 care for is the kind
OF politics in which deeency is COM
bined with efficiency. I hold that the
only way in which a politician can
really serve his party is by helping that
party efficiently TO serve the people.
Because the senator and the men who
have acted with him have stood for this
principle l am glad to be on the plat
form with him."
There was more cheering as the
colonel uttered these words. When he
could be heard again he added:
You viii at least notice that my ut
terances are free from ambiguity
Then the colonel proceeded with his
talk TO the farmers. As soon as it was
over he hurried off 10 Henderson House,
at Jordanville, HerkimeF county the
country place of his brOtheF-in-laW,
Douglas Robinson of New York He
will remain until tomorrow night, when
he viii start for Cheyenne. WyO.
His First Step.
Colonel ROosevelt's move in endors-
ing Senator Davenport is regarded as
his first step in the New York state
fight. on leaving New York this morn
ing, he said there would be no cOmprO-
mise as FAR as he was concerned. He
has let IL be known that he was Teluc-
tant 10 take part in the struggle, but
now that he is in il, he viii fight hard.
In his prepared speech Colonel RoOse-
Welt dealt with the problems of life in
the country and how to solve them.
You see. my friends. you've got your
selves in for a sermon" he said TO the
thrOng that filled the natural amphi-
theatre in front of the speakers stand
and overlooked on top OF the hill The
colonel kept them in good spirits with
Il think a good man and a good
woman can get 10 heaven in a dozen
different ways" he said, "but ] don't
think they can get there unless they
are good.
''The only motto for Americans should
he All men up and not some men
down
I'VE hear a man tell his wife that
she does not do as his mother did. but
that man is frequently man who does
not do the way his father ought TO
have done"
What Pleased Them.
What pleased the Changers most of
all. however, was this:
Il will never go with the type of
farmer who says: L am down on law
yers and bankers; L am against the
business man..
81 will go with him when he SAYS: 4
am against a bad type OF lawyer or bad
type Of banker
In other words | viii go with him
when he prOnOunces judgment on
man not in accordance with his Occu-
patton. but in accordance with his con-
duct. This is good American doctrine.
Sometimes we hear man say he is
the poor mans friend. 1 am the poor
mans friend if the poor man is
straight; and ] am the rich mans
friend. If the rich man is straight: but
1 am against the crooked man, rich or
poor"
