The police were unable to apprehend

The nerves of London we're strained

continuous fire alarms, all of which
proved to be suffragette hoaxes, and
all the fremen we're exhausted.
The policemen and firemen were
strong in their denunciations of the

Colonel Roosevelt took up the fight
tor Mr.. Perkins during the course of
his address to delegates at the con-
terence. Pointing out Mr.. Perkins and
calling him by name. Colonel Roose-
velt asserted that the New York finan-
cier was one of the men that he was
proud to have as a fellow worker in
the Progressive party.
Mr.. Perkins followed up with
speech later In the day in which he
said that always he had been for Pro-
Bressive causes and measures and that
be resented an intimation that he was
new convert to the cause.
Takes Up Idaho Case.
Taking up the subject of the Idaho
sapreme courts elector decision, Col
pnei Roosevelt said in part:
"In Idaho the election law makes
no provision for tho election OF presi.
Dental electors. The supreme court in
terpreted it 80 as to permit the Repub-
lican and Democratic electors to he
put upon the ticket by constituting a
provision which provided for the cleo.
ton OF eonstables and other officers
to include presidential electors.
II think they were quite right in
such construction: II was very
loose construction, but necessary. But
when it came to the Progressive party
they made the highest kind of tight
construction. They construed that the
Progressive party could not get on the
ticket because under the section pro-
viding for nominations by petitions
the highest number of votes declared
to be necessary for the establishment
pf a ticket by petition was 300 in the
case of state officials.
Not Nominated BY Petition.
"'rhey declared that the electors
were not state officials and that there
'ore tho Republican and Democratic
electors could 20 on the ticket under
the provision which permitted the
election OF constables and other Of
fcers yet that the Progressive ticket
could not be MOI mated by petition
because the highest number of votes
enumerated as necessary to nominate
by petition was 200 for the election Of
state officials.
~ defy any honest and Intelligent
man to read that decision Of the ST.

the action taken by the reactionary
Republican machine Of Idaho, prevent
