l Denver, Colo, Aug 29.-Unqualified was given today by Governor Shaf-
 roth and Mayor Speer, both of whom ! are democrats. This endorsement was | given in the presence of thousands of
 men and women assembled in the l great auditorium which was the scene of the last democratic national con vention. An enthusiastic ovation was given Colonel Roosevelt by the people of this state. far more marked than that received by him at any other place during the present journey through the west.
 "A great majority of the republicans throughout the west and many demo- crats will not be silent until they see you at the helm of this great nation" declared Mayor Speer in addressing Colonel Roosevelt.
 You are loved because you are not controlled: you are independent and your honesty of purpose appeals to the heart. Your courage has made your opponents wonder what you will do next. You have work to do; wrongs to wright May your life be spared 10 accomplish the great work which the American people be- lieve you are destined to perform"
 Governor Shafroth was hardly less enthusiastic in his reference to the ri-ft qualities, honesty. courage and per severance, we have courage of Lin- coin, the courage of Jackson and the perseverance of Grant embodied in Theodore Roosevelt"
 These references to Colonel Roose- | welt just before his presentation to the great audience. called forth demonstration which resembled that | given a successful candidate on the | occasion of a national convention l Throughout his speech on conserva- tion,- Colonel Roosevelt was frequent l ly interrupted by applause
 Acts of the supreme court of the | United States were sharply criticised | today by Colonel Roosevelt in an ad- 1 dress in the state capitol here before | the Colorado legislature. He cited | two decisions by the supreme court | which he declared were contrary to | theprinciples of democracy, and he | said emphatically that if these decis- 1 ions indicated the permanent attitude | of the court, the entire American sys- tenn of popular government would be upset
 Colonel ROosevelt's speech before the legislature was one of five which he delivered in Denver today Every where he went he was greeted by | cheering multitudes He added that | he was taken utterly by surprise by the size of the crowds which turned out to greet him.
 From the moment he arrived here until he went to bed Colonel Roose- welt kept on the move. In addition to his speech in the auditorium un- der the auspices of the Colorado Live stock Association and his speech before the legislature, he addressed the Spanish war veterans, who are holding a national encampment here. He was the guest of the Livestock association at a banquet given this evening and talked to the Denver Press Club at chuck wagon luncheon.
 In addition to his remarks before the legislature concerning the supreme court, Colonel Roosevelt denounced dishonest legislatures and dema- gogues He scored men of wealth who gain their riches at the expense of the people, and attacked untruth- full newspapers and magazines and praised periodicals and newspapers which, he said, boldly told truth in order to purify the body polite.
 One of the previous speakers men, toned knowing him while he was po- lice commissioner in New York, and in referring to that acquaintance Colonel Roosevelt said: When l was made police commissioner of Newi York I was ushered into office with great acclaim I said I was going to try to enforce the laws and New York smiled and said, Go ahead After 90 days New York walked up to the fact that it was being treated on a basis of morality 1t had never hoped to at tain New York never realized that it could be as good as it was New York was in a fermenr until the judges came to the rescue of the peo- ple. They decided that seventeen beers and one pretzel made a meal and New York breathed freely again. Ever since that time New York has felt an alert interest in me and an ardent desire to see me elected to any office that would take me away from there"
