ST. Paul, Sept. 6-Mr. Roosevelt
came into Minnesota with the
cheers of the West still ringing in
his ears, and was received by thou
sands of men and women, who were
wild in their enthusiasm. 1t was the
greatest reception that the colonel
has yet encountered on his tour.
Mr. Roosevelt talked conserva-
ton in the morning, and took occa-
sion to indorse part OF President
Taft's address Of yesterday. But he
was careful in his praise, and did
not go far. His position in regard
to the control of natural resources
was made unmistakably clear, for
he hammered away at that phase Of
nationalism which insisted that Fed
eral control shall be stronger than
State control. He rebuked Repre-
sentative Tawney without mention
ing his name.
