Denver Aug 29.-Acts OF the SUI
preme court of the United States
We're sharply criticised by Theodore
Roosevelt today in an address in the
state capitol here before the Colorado
legislature. The eX-president cited
TWO decisions by the supreme court
which, he declared were contrary
to the principles of democracy, and
he said emphatically that if those de-
cisions indicated the permanent at
ltude Of the court the entire Ameri-
can system of popular government
would he upset.
Colonel Roosevelts speech before
the legislature was one of five which
he declared in Denver today. EV
eryNhere he went he was greeted by
cheering multitudes which blocked
the streets, interfered with traffic and
packed to suffoeation the various
buildings in which he spoke, The au-
ditorium, in which he delivered his
speech on conservation, holds 5000
persons, and yet ii was not large
enough to seat the throng which
clamored for admission. The streets
outside the building We're crowded
with other thousands, who sought in
vain TO gain admittance.
II lust feel as if Id like to stay
here Tor good" Colonel Roosevelt said
after he had made his five speeches
He added that ne was taken utterly
vs. surprise by the size of the crowds
which turned out to greet him.
From the moment he arrived here
until he went to bed, Colonel Roose-
Welt was kept on the move. In adj
dition to his speech in the auditor

RADIO Livestock association, and his

dressed the Spanish War veterans,
who are holding their national en-
campment here; the Livestock asSo-

marks concerning tn supreme court,
Colonel Roosevelt denounced dishon- /

riches at the expense OF the people,
attacked untruthful newspapers ana
magazines, and praised the perlodl-
calls and newspapers which, he sand I
boldly told the truth in order TO pu-
rify the body polite.
Pandemonium was let loose Wnen
Colonel Roosevelt arrived in Denver
this morning. As soon as he had left
the special train which brought him
here from Cheyenne he passed
through the streets Of Denver In

lerymen, and infantry from Fort Lo-
gan After brief rest he went 10
Overland park, where he addressed
the Denver Press club.
The colonel had barely time To get
back TO the city to address the throng
which was waiting for him IN the Au-
ditorium. That done, he fastened 10
the state capitol anl after speaking
there he was whisked back to the Au-
ditorium to speak TO his OLD com

enough to change his clothes before
