Only the first and third districts

The fact that the 10000 voting so

vote in the county institutes which
elected delegates. and the fact that
in many counties the socialists are
alleged to have organized to elect del

strength this party developed at the
institute meetings.

Colonel Roosevelt isn't easily feazed Whether it is because the hide of the ball moose Is thick, or because his sense 0f Ghumoreis we'll developed, it doesn't matter He has no solar plexus and his ability to come back and strike back is something marvellous. If he is ever struck by lightning it will be when his back IS turned to it, and he'll strike back even then. The fellow who sets out to have fun at Teddy's expense should have the wisdom to enjoy his Iangh before he sets out. The other day. asked what he had to say about a cer- taln accusation, he said he supposed he might as well own up-and while he was about it he would confess that he blew up4 the Maine, and furthermore Ehat,hh' paE the first serpent into the Gsrden Nf Eden.
 In his speech in Hartford, last Mon day, he emphatically dwelt upon the right of the people to govern themselves, when a man on the grand-stand shouted:
 -.Why didn't you advocate that seven years ago?"
 Pointing his finger at his questioner, and unsheathing his celebrated teeth. the Colonel replied: "The answer to that is, that I did advocate it seven years ago. and you must have been asleep, but I'm glad you're waking up and taking notice that I'm advocating it now" The man who asked the question had tc stand the laugh that followed, but he remarked to bystander: "Just the same, he didn't, but he'll get away with that bluff, nevertheless.
 The Colonel made the best use ol
