The Washington herald., 1910-11-04

Plymouth. Ind. Nov 3-Mr Roosevelt.
or his way TO Iowa, passed through
President Taft's own State to-day and
got eheered. Il was the same in In
diana. Wherever the word had been
passed that the colonel was approaching
on a regular train. big towns and little
cities hurried 10 the station ana gave
him a glad hand. 1t really was quite
unexpected, and the colonel was sur
prised, because he had 10 make several
speeches.
The train that bore him from here to
Chicago visited ever so many places all
day long. Some Of these places were
apparently named after sleeping cars:
others had 10 names, but were Just
places.
Underneath the outward signs Of pleas
Ure which MIR. Roosevelt exhibited to-day
there was a feeling OF concern over what
may be transpiring in New York now.
Mr.. Dixs speech in New York last night
was perused by the colonel, who ap-
Feared 10 be somewhat wroth at a COED
many things in it, and greatly amused
az others. The part referring 10 Col
Roosevelts attack on Judge Baldwin
because the judge is alleged to have been
mems compensation acts, did get a rise.
The colonel issued statement.
Will Speak in New York.
1t is practically certain now that the
colonel will speak in New York Mon
day night. He don't want to. but recent
events have made it advisable for him
TO take last fling at Mr. Dix and the
Democrats. He said tonight before he
reached Chicago that he will hold forth
on the East Side again. Then he will
hurry OFF To Oyster Bay from there.
The colonel said. 100. that he would
not be in New York on election night
because he does not care to receive tbs
returns He is going 10 cast his vote
with the others who are eligible on
Sycamore Hin. He wants to ride To the
town IN a wagon. vote. and return 10
Sagamore Hill His fight win be over
by that time.
While he did not say so to-day, it is
pretty certain that Mr.. Roosevelt wishes
he was at home. instead of out West
with visits TO one progressive and one
stand-pat State ahead of him. He
would have liked to kept up the assault
he began on Dix and Tammany.
At the time ne made his Iowa engage
ment he had no thought that he would be
the issue in New York State elections, or
that he would be SO hard pressed. But he
was mighty well pleased to-day at the
way Ohio turned odt 10 greet him. Even
the railroad officials had no notion that
word had been passed along the line her
aiding the coloners arrival. At Mans
field, Crestline. Bucyrus, Ada, and Del
phos the crowds were large and fun of
ginger Most of what the colonel said
was josh. In the evening it was the same
crowds, cheers, and hurrahs. He made
no political speeches.
Quickly Dictated Reply.
The colonel was eating breakfast this
when he learned what MIR. Dix
said last night The correspondents on
the train did not have 10 wait lcng for
an answer, for Mr.. Roosevelt dictated
his reply 10 prominent member of the
'taff, who is accompanying the colonel
