NOMINATING SPEECH
BY PRENDERGAST
Nobody In the Whole Wide World
Who Can Save the Country But
Roosevelt.

limited Press Leased Wire Service
CHICAGO, Aug. Placing Col.
Roosevelt in nomination for the presi-
dency, Comptroller William A. Prem
dergast Of New York, said.
This great gathering owes its being
to a mighty protest against those who
have poisoned the wells of the democ-
racy While approaching the stipend
Gus task before it, the progressive
party declines to accept the cynical
doctrine of Napoleon that God is on
the side Of the heaviest battalions and
processes It's sublime faith in the
teaching of Abraham Lincoln that
right makes might.
'.The platform you have adopted to-
day says to the American people:
we recognize the social and industrial
issues of the time. We present rem
edies for them. You cannot expect
relief from either Of the old parties.
But experience tells US the con-
quering way is slow unless the legions
are led by one whose qualities Of
leadership are equal to the task Of
moulding and establishing new
epoch in American history. Such lead
ership is personified in him whose
name l present to you.
"My candidate is more than citi-
zen; he is national asset. In this
momenteous period of political doubt
there is no man who presents such
credentials as his. This candidate
has success written on every page OF
his official career. He has fought the
most vicious forces in American life
and conquered them. ne surrender

He represents the most striking
and eventful civic career in American
history He Is one whose originality
Of thought and directness Of action
have made him unique figure in
American history. None other has rem.
dered such distinguished public serw
ice. This man has touched every duty
with gold of conscientious service and
established reputation that has chal-
lenged the applause of the public. He
is the natural leader of the progress
sive movement today. He is one of
the original progressives of the ma
ton. His devotion to it's interest has
made complete and generous contri
button to the cup Of it's achievements. 2
Prendergast reviewed Roosevelt's
public career, declaring:
while others talked, he acted M.
candidate is the man courageous
Where the peoples interests have
been menaced he has known no fear
and asked no quarter. There havs
none been SO powerful as to awe him
and before him the greatest captains
of industry have lowered their lances.
1t is inevitable that a man who has
aroused the bitterest hatred OF the
mighty of finance should have raised
up body of enemies who have fol
lowed him through their diverse and
insidious agencies and sought and
still seek to destroy him He Is the
only man in public life today of
whom they have any genuine fear.
Against their opposition, which for
vindicitiyeness has never been equal
led in politics, he has fought at times
single-handed. With unfailing forti.
tude. he met their atrocious assaults
This tribune of the people has faced
the forces of privilege.
ITO such a leader the hearts of mil
lions of Americans are turning in this
national crisis. Such leader they
ask you to give them in this hour of
their hope. AS the crusaders of old
pledged themselves to God and coun-
try, SO do we consecrate our lives to
the service of that enduring demoe-
racy, ordained by the divine power
and as the leader in this crusade
present to you-America's greatest
statesman and lion-hearted citizen

Workmen Engaged In Grading Three
Lots Out on Palean Street, Find
More Human
Bones.
IN OLD BURIAL GROUND
Used Many Years by the Pioneer Resi-
dents Of the City When
keoI<uk Was
New.

Workmen are engaged in grading
three lots out on the north side of Pa
lean street at the corner of Eleventh
street. It requires the cutting down
of the surface one or two feet. It is
an old-time, well-verified memory that
these lots are included in an old bury
ing ground in the early days of Keo-
knk located between Eleventh and
Twelfth and Des Moines and Palean
streets.
1t was thought that all the bones or
the pioneers buried here has long ago
been brought to the surface, but it
seems that this opinion was mis-
take. as several bones have been
found since this grading has been go,

were found one of which indicated
that it was from the skeleton of a
very large person, one of the giants

left to be found even today, but so far
gone that exposure to the air turns
them into their original dust.
Every few years some OF these
bones have come to the surface, but
those being found now are about the
last that will be discovered, and the
last yestige of sign of this old grave
yard memory will be removed. Many
changes have taken place since the
pioneer bodies were laid to rest. Not

are new people. new manners, new
methods and new everything. but the

FORT MADISON, Iowa, Aug. -
Whether the proposed city ordinance
granting franchise to the Mississip-
pi River Power company to sell whole
sale electric power in the city Of Fort
Madison shall Or shall not be made a
city law now rests with the citizens of
Fort Madison and will be decided by
special election On September 9. The
measure, which has been before the
city council for three weeks, and has
received a degree OF public and priv
ate discussion which Is granted to few
city measures, passed its third read
ing at regular meeting of the council
Monday night by vote of FIVE to
two of the city councilmen. Council.
men Collins and schlapp voted in
opposition to the immediate passage of
the proposed ordinance.
Few city questions laid before the
public have ever aroused so much in
terest as the issue of the proposed
franchise to the power company. The
city council at four separate meetings
discussed the question, and twice so
great changes were introduced that it
became necessary to draw up new
draft of the plan to avoid needless
amendments and hanging clauses
On July 80, the ordinance as it now
stands was introduced to the council
and after good deal of discussion
passed two readings by the suspension
of the rules of the council which per-
NIT any proposed plan to pass only
one reading at a meeting. In Monday
nights session Of the council there
was again brought forward plea for
more time to hunt for flaws in the
paper and avoid alleged undue haste.
The majority of the council, how
ever, were in favor of immediate pas
sage of the ordinance by that body,
and the weight of opinion of the citi-
zens represented at the meeting was
in favor Of accepting the proposition
as it stands.
BY the provision of the proposed
ordinance itself, all expense of the
special election by the citizens is to
be borne by the power company.

The local journeymen BARRIERS and
their bosses, who are at loggerheads
concerning the demands of the jour
neymen on account of the wage ques-

and in all probability will reach an

vented the meeting from taking place.
The BARRIERS are remaining at work
and will continue to do SO under the
present arrangement until the meet

that there will be any serious differ

differences will be satisfactorily adj
