Cleveland, Leaving Tor Home.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, November s.
Theodore Roosevelt came to the aid to-
day of the republican party in Presi-
dent Taft's state, where it is having one
of its hardest fights. He made a cam
paign trip over the state, severely attack
ing Ohio's democratic governor, Judson
Harmon. and defending the policies Of
the republican party. OF the republican
candidates and the state platform he had
little to say.
The people of Ohio turned out in great
Chicago early in the day. he made his
first speech in Ohio at Toledo. after
sreaking briefly at several places in In
diana. telling the crowds which gathered
at the stations that Senator Beverdge
should be reelected From Toledo he
came to Cleveland, stopping at a number
of places for talks from the platform Of
his car to cheering crowds, in some Of
which there were several thousand per-
sons
Cleveland celebrated when the colonel
came. There were bands. torches and a
thick walls Of people who thronsed the
streets downtown and cheered The rally
was held in the Central armory. There
is room for more than 10000 persons in
the armory. but only part of the crowo
which surged about the building could
get inside.
An speaking today in Ohio, where the
so-called insurgent wing OF the republican
party was defeated In the struggle Ton
control of the party, Col Roosevelt used

Briefly Cmmends Harding.
OF Warren G. Harding, republican can
didate for governor, he said
If Mr.. Harding Is elected you will
nave a governor who will put through a
public utilities bill"
That was all the colonel had to say of
Mr. Harding. He indorsed Representa-
tive Paul howiand strongly. He spoke
of him as one of the men who had stooo

none of the other candidates on the re-
publican ticket.
1 Views on Baliinger Demanded.
In the midst of an attack Upon Gov.
Harmon Roosevelt was interrupted by
repeated calls from the audience How
about Balinger? The colonel stopped
his speech abruptly and shouted: He

This answer did not satisfy his audience
and the calls were repeated. Finally
Roosevelt stopped again and after watt
ing moment for quiet he said, waving
his arm emphatically:
ooG e. e.. l.:
can come and ask me questions"
The republican state platform, which
indorses President Taft for denomination
in 1012 received little attention from Col.
Roosevelt. He spoke of it long enough
to criticise the tariff plank. which con-
tatns strong Endorsement of the Payne
Aldrich tariff bill, saying that the party
leaders who framed 1t had Jagged behind
the people.
Col. Roosevelt also defended new ma
tionalism in his speech here and said that
he was certain the people would eventual
ly accept the principles which it stood
for. In the speech he said:
During the last few years 1t has be-
come increasingly evident to all really

loyalty to their ideals must be shown by
the resolute efficiency with which we
apply those ideals to present day needs.

Alarm Is Groundeless.
Much alarm-some of it sincere, some
Of 1t entirely insincere-has been ex-
pressed about the new nationalism. The
new nationalism really means nothing
but the efficient application to new con-
ditions of the old and fundamental
moralities. in accordance with which our

they founded this republic; in accordance
