West Stands Now.
Fremont, Nebr, Aug. 2s.-They like
Roosevelt in the West. They Ike him
just as much as they ever did, II the
folks in Iowa and Nebraska stand for
the spirit Of this country. Those who
would whoop II up for the colonel IN
1912 are going a little easier on that
score than they thought they would. He
has heard them demand his nomination
two years hence. but the demands have
been made from station platforms, and
there has been no opportunity thus far
70 discover the crystarized attitude.
His trip through Iowa and Nebraska
to-day, when he shot through the towns
and touched such cities as Council Bluffs
and Omaha. showed a distinct hearth
ness toward Col. Roosevelt. When he re-
viled the corporations when they're cor
rupt, and indorsed them when they're
good the crowds cheered him. When he
spoke about public crooks and the rela-
ton OF the corrupt business men 10 the
political machine they yelled louder than
ever.
The insUrgent West turned out IN large
numbers TO greet the colonel all along
the line to-day. Senator Cummins. of
/ Iowa. came on from Ames 10 Council
Bluffs to chat with the colonel and to
tell him how much they think Uf htrn.
Their meeting did not contain any more
significance than many visits OF a SINH
lar nature at Sagamore Hill this summer.
The Senator said that ne was pleased at
the reception Roosevelt got. and that he
! believes that the Republicans VIII win in
/ his home State. which the colonel char
seterized as one OF the finest IN the
Union.
Discusses New York Flight.
Speeding into the territory OF the pro-
gressives has not caused the colonel 70
forget the fight that is going 10 be waged
In New York This morning he heard Of
/ Timothy's WOodruT's statement concern
ing the issue al home. and the colonel
was aroused 10 issue a little statement
Of his own. He put himself in with the
Iprogressives, but he said that Il referred
merely to New York and not 10 the coun-
Try at large.
The progressives, said he. are emphati-
cally in favor Of taking a real step for
ward about direct primaries substantially
on the lines OF Gov. Hughes proposition.
He stands against bossism, not only at
the election. but within the party organi-
cation. He promises TO wage a ruthless
war against every species OF corruption
and against the alliance between corrupt
bosses and corrupt business men.
VIII Go TO Saratoga.
The colonel has indicated in all his
talks since ne left Oyster Bay that he
will go into the Saratoga convention
ready 10 fight with every ounce Of energy
that he has got He IS after the scalps
OF Woodruff Barnes. Wadsworth and
Company. and he will get them unless
his arguments fail to impress the dele
gates. Sherman is also included.
Not the slightest reference has been
made TO the administration since the col
Onel started West.
Everybody that could set by the police
men with the big stars hung on their
breasts climbed aboard the coloners car.
Garfield Joins Colonel.
This evening at Omaha James R. Gar
field Joined Col. Roosevelt. and said that
he would stick until after the hurrah at
Denver Monday. Mr.. Garfield did not
bring Mr. Pinchot with him. but he
promised that the depOsed Chief Forester
would be or hand for Ossawatomie and
ST. Paul. Mr. Garfield would express no
opinion on the result of the coloners
passage through Ohio. It is known from
reliable sources, however, that the colonel
made a great impression.
A dispatch n one Of the Western news
papers. quoting William J. Bryan, was
shown 20 T. r.
Mr. Bryan averred that the colonel IS
out for the nomination in 1912, and he
I deplored that as violating precedent OF
the country. II means that Roosevelt IS
not satisfied with the administration
Mr. Bryan printed his ideas in to-day's
: edition OF the Commoner. The colone
| laughed when he heard of Il, and said
that Of course he would not comment
on It.
