WEST HAS CHOSEN HIM
Special By United Press Wire.


Omaha, Neb., Sept. 2:-With a
tribute from Kansas insurgency in
his war bag, and the scalp of west
ern politics at his belt, Colonel
Roosevelt today was hailed by Ne
braska insurgency as the leader in
the progressive movement. Senator
Dolliver, Of Iowa, Joined Senator
Burgett, of Nebraska, In welcoming
the contributing editor, whose con-
tributions today were mostly of a
political nature.
The question Of Roosevelthn 1912
bobbed up again today and was the
subject of interested discussion
among the local politicians. The
colonel, however, maintained his US
ual silence on that point.
Huge crowds greeted Colonel
Roosevelt as he passed out of his
special train this morning in driv-
ing rain, He was hustled to the
Omaha Club, where he breakfasted
as guest of the club. He then re-
viewed the town in an auto, return
ing at noon, where he participated
in an informal luncheon.
The principal Roosevelt speech
today will be delivered at the Audi
torium late this afternoon.
For the first time on the trip the
colonel disappointed crowd which
wanted to hear him speak Shortly
after midnight the train pulled into
St. Joseph, Mo-, where about 500
people awaited his arrival. The
colonel was apparently asleep, for
he failed to answer the howls of the
crowd and the frantic beating on
the car sides.

Insurgents FOLLOW.


Kansas City, Mo, Sept 2.-When
Colonel Roosevelt left here last night
for Omaha some Of the Republican
1nsu gents, who now claim him as
their leader, followed In his wake
While he was here the insurgents,
particularly Clifford Pinchot, deposed
chief forester, and James r. Garfield
former secretary of the interior, held
conspicuous positions in all the pro
ceedings
1t has been a continuous march of
triumph for Colonel Roosevelt The
people OF the west are shouting their
heads off for him, and the farther he
goes the more they shout. The tour is
cumulative in its enthusiasm. Roose-
welt is for them, and they are for
Roosevelt.
1t would be futile to deny the fact
that the west regards Roosevelt as
their next president. A goodly part Of
the crowds that greet him In the cities
and the towns take 1t for granted that
he is on campaign tour, and they
don't hold back in saying so. But the
men who work the wires and who are
supposed to be posted are going slow
er. They are puzzled frankly. The
colonel isn't making statements as to
his future. And the result is that all
this hurrah is tending to put them up
in the air This Is especially true Of
the friends of the administration, and
Mr.. Taft is not friendless in the west
by long shot.
The colonel did not have to cross
from Kansas into Missouri to find how
popular he is, but he discovered that
here they are more wild about him
than any city he has touched on this
trip. Since his spectacular announce,
ment at Osawatomie that he Is a pro-
gressive and is not affiliated in any
way with President Taft or the ad-
ministratiOn the crowds have shown
an even kindlier feeling in the west.
Mr.. Roosevelt liked it when they
hailed him as progressive. He did
not scowl as he was called insurgent.
but he said that he prefers the other
appellation. He did nothing more neg
attve, than to beam happily as they
cheered him for the nomination in
1912. He drank a toast to the presi-
dent, but he did not smile then.
Even the more conservative Of the
Washington politicians were ready to
admit that Roosevelt is the big man
of the country. All are not prepared
to declare that he is out for the nOmi-
nation, but they think that he's mighty
close to 1t.
Kansas City of the two states re-
ceiyed Mr. Roosevelt with wild whoop-
ing The Sunfower City is smaller
and was therefore not so noisy, but
this town went crazy. Every reserve
on the police force was called out to
keep the mObs in check. In spite of
the rain that threatened to throw a
damper on the plans of the local COM
mittee more than $4,000 persons hung
along the curbs all day to see Roose-
welt. At the Baltimore hotel, where
the colonel held forth most of the
time, the crowd jammed itself against
the entrance and fought from morning
until night to get a look. Colonel
Roosevelt made four speeches.

WATERS ILL NATURED.
Usually AmiabIe Lawyer Was Crusty
ON Glorious Fourth.

Captain Joe G.. Waters, who is usu-
ally amiable, was evidently. sore at
the world In general on the Glorious
Fourth. At joint picnic of the old
settlers and Sons and Daughters of
the American Revolution, held on the
]. NJ Meade lawn, at the foot of Fill
more street, he denounced nearly
everyone he could think of. The dis
play of vocal torpedoes and fireworks
was exciting. Captain Waters sug-
gested that the Almighty should blot
out Reno, New, where the prize fight
was in progress and all there assem-
bIed. He mentioned his own incur
able disease of poverty; assailed some
of the rich 'uns, including Carnegie;
compared the corruption in America
to the parasites on an animal which
would some day be rubbed off against
post
He also paid his respects to the Chi
cago university, telling how it placed
Rockefeller as a God and fostered ag-
Mysticism. He wound up by describ-
ing the American greed for gold and
how the "Scalawag newspapers" gave
too much space to prize fights. How
ever, he remembered just in time to
compliment his host, Mr.. Meade, and
refer to him as the best type Of
American citizen-the only person he
complimented in his speech. In part,
the address was as follows:
"At this time there is in progress
at Reno, New, the most internal out
rage. The Lord has probably the
worst bunch of men in the
United States together in crowd
there, and may never have again. He
ought to turn a cyclone loose on the
place, and while he was at it he
might spring an earthquake and leave
a hole where the state of Nevada
now is.
1.-THE whole United States is now
carved into states and all are being
rapidly filled up, and the only ma
lignant one is the state of Nevada,
from governor down.
I'VE ought to amend the constitu-
ton and get rid of Nevada
"And the fight that is going on
there is being given more space by
the scalawag newspapers than even
Roosevelts trip. The newspapers are
being commercialized.
1.-THE people Of Europe couldn't I'M
derstand Roosevelt, considering the
principles he advocated as an Ameri-
lean citizen and knowing the corrup-
ton that was going on in his own
country
However, the great mass of Ameri-
