7. R. CONF ID[AT
OF SWEEPING WEST
Colonel Takes Optimistic View Of
Situation and Claims Seven
States.
TO VISIT NEW ENGLAND

San Francisco, Sept. 15.-'Tt looks like
a clean sweep OF the West for the
Progressives"
That was Col. Roosevelt's confident
prophecy to-day in adverting to the po-
litical situation west of the Rocky Noun
tains as 1t has impressed him in his
coast to coast swing. The colonel allowed
1t to be known that he is under no de-
lusions He realizes that the Split in the
party in many Of the Western
States involves a hard fight to carry
them for the Progressive ticket. But he
believes that the Wilson candidacy Is
steadily losing ground, that the Taft
candidacy is in no sense threatening
and that the Progressive move Is gaining
force apace.
Roosevelt thinks the Progressives will
surely carry these States of the cluster
he has touched in his Western tour:
California, Oregon, Washington. Idaho,
Minnesota, North Dakota, and Missouri.
He calculates that with bitter campaign
ing. they will gather in Wisconsin Ne
vada and Montana. In his prophecy he
does not include Utah, where the Pro-
win.
To Stump New York.
When he gets back the colonel will
devote one week to stumping New
York. Ten days will be divided be-
tween Pennsylvania, Illinois. and Ohio.
He intends to put in a week in the New
England States. and the balance Of the
time up to election day will be occu-
pied in the East in going wherever 1t is
considered he is most needed. The cam
paign will be wound up in New York
City the night before election.
While Roosevelt is hopeful Of winning
the election. the betting odds here are
against him. The prevailing odds to-
day are to / in favor of Wilson's cleo
ton. On Taft the betting is TO s.
while the bookies ask 3 to ! against
Roosevelt.
Roosevelt spent to-day resting up after
the feverish welcome given him last
night by San Francisco. He went to the
Church of the Advent EpiscopaD with
Hiram W. johnson, tr.. son of the Bull
Moose Vice Presidential candidate. The
former President left tonight for
days run through Southern California.

New York, Sept. 15.-At the special in
vitation of Ben Reitman, the anarchist
promoter, a thousand men and women
OF the Bowery shuffied their way into
the Manhattan Lyceum this afternoon to
attend a performance given by members

daylight glimpse of the world. for they
sIend their days sleeping in the back
rooms of saloons and their nights
'mooching'' drinks. Only the early risers
reused themselves to-day to attend the
2 o'clock performance. There were many
vacant seats.

performance this season. With them
were eight members Of their chorus. And
their stunts went big, before a critical
audience. The lemon song and all the
other Carle favorites were sung sew
eral times. Viola Hart found her street
shoes too tight for dancing and took
the moff, thereafter doing her petit steps
in silk stockinged feet. Among those
who applauded from the boxes were THE

Side notables.
The Carle performance concluded,
every one made ready to welcome their
own favorites behind the footlights. But
they had disappeared. Reitman ex-
p.ained that some one had been buying
them drinks and that they were under
the table and helpless. While a score
of .oowery habitues searched for the man
who had bought the drinks, Carles and
his company drove away in touring cars.
Their entire audience swarmed into the
street and gave them a farewell cheer.
