FIRST SPEECH ON HIS TRIP

New York, Aug. 23.-Colonel
Roosevelt started on his western trip
today, leaving a political tangle be-
hind him. Pressing business af-
fairs" have called the vice president
away from Utica and he will not see
the former president there.
Friends of Roosevelt predict that
he will yet be chairman of the state
convention, despite his rundown in
the campaign committee meeting.
At Utica Mr.. Roosevelt delivered
his first speech. He said:
There are no two public questions
of more vital importance to the fu-
ture OF this country than the prob
lem OF conservation and the problem
OF the betterment OF public life.
Moreover, these two problems are
really independent, for neither of
them can be successful in the effort
to to solve the other.
