A farmer roasted In a tree over the
peakers' stand as the colonel spoke
to h $4,000 at the Minnesota state
fair. ~
We are going to put o back at

ed. The colonel looked upward and
smiled. The crowd laughed and
lcheered as the farmer dangled his
feet IN close proximity to the bull
moose's antlers. The ~colonel's day in
show of exciting and fatiguing events.
The strain vas so grea, hat even the
endurance OF the colonel failed for
n C and he postponed engagements
IN order to get a nap late yesterday
afternoon.
A Strenuous Day. e,
Here Is the partial record of tho
day Of action in Roosevelt-mad Min
nesota: Up at 1880; greeted by sew
eral hundred bull moosess. who bel
lowed moo" as he left the station:
several conferences with state pro-
gressive leaders. Including Frank b.
kellogg: spoke to 10000 at the Min
nesota state fair. revived a veteran
VIC tainted on the platform: speech
interrupted by a runaway horse who
dashed into the crowd and injured
nine persons: bowed and grinned to
100000 persons who lined the streets
as the bull moosers staged a trium-
phal march through the streets OF
the twin cities: delivered speech at
bull moose luncheon: ~sidestepped an
impromptu reception after several
hundred enthusiasts had overrun the
hotel and shaken hands; stole away
Tor a nap; wrote a short note to Mrs.
Roosevelt; took two automobile rides
ahut Minneapolis and st. Paul; had
farm dinner at the fair crumbs. and
LETT at 1915 p. m. for North Dakota.
So the day was strenuous enough
even for the colonel. AS a result Of
the Roosevelt and the third party
sentiment developed in Minnesota, a
complete progressive party ticket
probably will be voted IN in the state
election. Iowa progressives put a full
ticket in the field yesterday. and no
stand-patter honestly expects the
state unless there is an unexpected
change in sentiment. The struggle is
between Wilson and Roosevelt, and in
Iowa stand-pat republicas are said to
be secretly working for the democra-
tic candidates on the theory that this
is the only hope of defeating Roose-
Welt there.
Surprises for Everybody.
The colonel's tour has had surprises
for everybody along. The politicians
are unable to fathom the strange up
rising. The colonel himself has me
with receptions which exceeded ex-
%pectations. and the newspaper corre-
spondents on the bull moose train
wore a sort Of 'it-beats me- express
sion and wonder what's going to be
the size of the crowd, at the next stop.
The st. Paul Dispatch, an independ-
ent paper, had this to say Of the. re-
markable, demonstration given Tthe
fair grounds: "Tfme, and again the
colonel was INTERRUPTED by bursts of
applause and he smiled happily when
he saw that what He had said was
going home The1 crowd was so
great that he vas forced practically
to deliver two speeches. ,
Colonel Roosevelt's Minneapolis
reception eclipsed all the. other greet
ings of the day. At least 5000. peo-
pie lined the streets from Bridge
square and along Nicolet avenue, the
route to the West hotel. Even the
shop girls leaned from the windows
to cheer the colonel. On n end Of
the improvised grand stand he would
speak for five minutes. then urn to
the other and repeat for the greater
part what he had spoken before. He
did this. he said, in order that all
might hear inc in order that all
might get a square deal. Colonel
Roosevelt reached the fair grounds at
II o'clock and received an u]proarious
welcome.
1.-The crowd about the platform
which had grown steadily since an
hour earlier numbered in the thou
sands, and only a part of the people
could get near enough to the colonel
to hear him."
