Kansas City. Sept. KANSAS City
yesterday gave Theodore Roosevelt
the greatest welcome he has yet re-
ceived on his tour through the west,
and this in spite of the fact that every
minute of his stay the skies drizzled,
gloomed or poured down floods of raiu
upon the umbrella-cOvered multitudes.
The ovation he got here as Judge
w. p. Bland, president of the organiza-
ton, took pains to explain in introduc.
ing Colonel Roosevelt at the luncheon
at the Baltimore Hotel, at which he
was the guest of honor, was given him
simply In recognition of the fact that
he was the first citizen Of the United
States. And to put the club exactly
right as nonpartisan organization he
followed it's time-honored practice OF
opening the festivities by proposing
the health Of the president of the
United States.
Hail Colonel In Song.
The only incident Of the day which
could possibly be construed as having
a political flavor was furnished Off
hand by the newspaper men, who were
present at the same luncheon. They
occupied gallery overlooking the
banquet hall and enlivened the pauses
between addresses BY singing certain
irreverent songs. One OF these, shouted
out to the tune OF Has Anybody Here
Seen Kelly" went like this:
HAS anybody here seen Teddy,
T-E-double-D-Y? Has anybody hera
seen Teddy
Teddy from Oyster Bay?
His head is clear and his heart Is true.
He's an insurgent through and through.
Has anybody here seen Teddy
Teddy from Oyster Bay?"
Another parodied .The Good Old
Summer Time" It found its way over
the gallery rail in the following form:
At the next election time,
At the next election time,
Roaming round the woolly west,
Finding folks there fine;
For we like him and he likes us.
And that's very good sign
That he will be our president,
At the next election time.
Verses Bring Cheers.
The doggerel seemed to hit the Kan,
sas City people in the right spot for
they cheered long and loud sad
laughed not a little. Later. in his talk
