COLONEL ANSWERS
BADGER SENATOR
Expresses Regret That La Fol-
lette Opposes Progressives.
QUOTES SPEECHES BY BOB
One Made in April. 1903, Is Alleged
to Favor Third Term for Roose-
veIt-Coonel Answers Criticism on
Tariff Record OF His Acmnis tr alton.

Oshkosh.-A defense of his record
on the tariff question and an attack
on woodrow Wilson's position were
made by Col. Roosevelt in his speech
here. Gov. Wilson, he said, had been
the hope Of the progressives, but had
changed his attitude and lat present
his sole chance lies in the support OF
the reactionaries.
Here. in Senator La Follette's own
state, the colonel discussed for the
first time in his campaign the sena-
tors opposition to him. He replied
to Senator La Follette's attacks by
taking up a number of points on
which the senator has based his
criticism of the former president. He
expressed regret that the senator had
ranged himself against the progress
siYe party and quoted from a speech
last year in the senate in which Mr..
La toilette eulogized him. He also
quoted Senator La Toilette as saying
IN speech in April, 1907, that Col.
Roosevelt should have another term
Col. Roosevelt said that the pro-
gressive party's campaign fund this
year would be less than half the fund
of either the democratic or the re-
publican party. The progressives, he
said, were planning on basis that
would involve the expenditure OF
about $350,00O.
The colonel reached Oshkosh al
the end of journey from st. Paul
during which, in spite of rain, crowds
met him at every station to hear him
speak from the rear platform. The
meeting was held in a warehouse
here. Two halls had been engaged
but it was found that they would
seat only a part of the crowd,
Answering criticisms that he did
not take up the tariff question during
his administration, Col. Roosevelt de-
clared that business conditions at the
time were such that a change of the
tariff would have been folly.

SONNTAG THINKS NATIONAL
PROBATION LAW is NEEDED

SAN FRANCISCO, June IA fed
eral probation law is the desire of
Colonel Sonntag, senior member Of
the state board of prison directors,
and author of the California parole
law In an interview printed here, he
says:
"We need national probation law
to deal with youthful offenders and
others who, in an irresponsible mo-
ment commit an offense against the
national government 1t was only a
few years ago that the federal govern
ment adopted national parole law
and its slowness to act in the wake
of many states leads to the belief
that. unless some one advocates the
matter, it may be years before we
have a national law, such as has
been helpful in many states toward
preventing distress to the families of
first offenders, and has resulted in
many reformations."
Colonel Sonntag quoted several
cases in which the juvenile first Of
tenders who had stolen from the mails
under temptation, but were not ire
claimable criminals, had been SEN
fenced to Jail because juries and
judges had no option, when for like
offenses under state laws they would

the coming meeting and 1t Is expect
ed that more than 1000 automobiles
with twice as many people will be in
attendance.
Fifty machines have promised to
come from Fresno, 25 from Stockton,
100 from Watsonville, 80 from Sacra-
mento, and other towns of the section
are expected to contribute in proper
ton.
One of the most unique features of
the convention will be the automobile
parade. II will include a run through
the orchard districts of the Santa
Clara valley and a tour of the city OF
San Jose. Moving pictures will be
made of this long string of autos,
which will afterwards be shown
throughout the United States to i'm
press and feature automobile posSibil-
tiles and good roads in California.
1t is expected that these pictures will
do much to interest Eastern autOists
in the possibility of bringing their
machines to California, over the ocean
to ocean highway during the eXposi-
ton year. The fact that California
is second only to New York in the
number of automobiles is becoming
well known and the proper emphasis
on the new trips and scenic wonders
of California will do much to Stimu-
late the attendance at the Panama
Pacific International exposition.
