WILSON'S SYMPATHY
Goes Out to Col. Roosevelt, Even in
Heat of Campaign.

Wilmington, Del. Oct. T.-"My
thought is constantly of that gallant
gentleman lying in the hospital at
Chicago"
With this sentiment running through
his speeches. Gov. Woodrow Wilson
toured the state of Delaware. today,
deploring ;he assault on Col. l;oesa-
Welt and depreeating the use eff vio-
lenee to interrupt the course of pol
tiles.
The Democratic nominee devoted
his argument mostly to state issues
in Delaware He omitted mention of
the Progressive party and when he
discussed national questions he at
tackled the administration of Presi-
dent TAFT, declaring that there was
property enough for those at the top
bus that it had not spereolatea
through to the rank and file of the
people, The governor made four
speeches, appeared before cheering
throngs in nearly dozen towns anG'
closed the day with a big street parade
and meeting at Wilmington. tonight.
Urging Delaware to Join the pro-
cession of Progressive states" Gov.
Wilson declared in his speech that it
was dangerous TO block the progress
of reform in America" and that the
stand pat dam, which is the only thing
that holds back the popular forces,
will presently break.
IT came out to fulfill the engage
ments of this week with very great
reluctance, because my thought is
constantly of that gallant gentleman,
lying in the hospital at Chicago. Mr..
Roosevelt did a vast deal to wake the
country up to the problems that now
have to be settled, and that he should
have been stayed in his attempt 10
discuss the settlement of these ques-
tions by hand of violence, is a thing
which every American must deeply
deplore and feel ashamed for.
AT the same time, there are these
questions to be settled. There is the
great life of the country to go on.
and we cannot afford to have it &c
on without guidance. My indictment
against the Republican administra-
tions of the past is that under them
we have gone no whittier; we have
drifted; we have been without pilots;
we have been without charts. Ne man
has laid down any Ineligible course,
and in these latter years we have been
absolutely paralyZed.
You are either asked 20 drift I'M
der no guidance at all. or you are
asked to stand still absolutely. Amer
lea cannot stand still whether she
could afford that or not. Don't you
catch the sound Of the wind in the air.
dent you hear the mummurs of the
great multitudes of men who say
Prosperity Who is enjoying pros
perity? The blessing has not reached
us. We do not find our wages going
up; we find it almost impossible to
pay our bills and when our wages do
occasionally go up. the prices go high
er. and the wages cannot keep up
with the prices Prosperity? Yes, on
the part of men who are reaping the
harvest at the top, but not much of it
comes to us

ing the third day of their lives, were
brought in. AS there was no possibility
of conversation between Col. Roosevelt
and the twins. Mrs. Roosevelt admitted
them for a moment.
With the aid of a mirror which enabled
him to catch a glimpse of the outer world
without turning about in bed Col. Roose-
welt looked out at the street scenes when
he was not talking with Mrs. Roosevelt
or reading. He was eager to be up and
out of doors, and spoke longlngly OF ms

the platform i'm the Milwaukee Audito-
rum with the bullet in his side Sitting
up in his bed. he dictated a statement
agreeing with w. j. Bryan that the
campaign should go on regardless of the
colonel's removal temporarily from the
fight
The physicians took a more frankly OPP
timistic view today, than at any other
time since the colonel was admitted to
the hospital. although they emphasized
the fact that he could not be considered
to have passed the danger point.
DR. John B. Murphy, who is in charge
well satisfied with his condition that they
delayed their evening consultation until
well toward midnight
"Col Roosevelt's condition may be de-
scribed as normal under the circum-
stances" said Or. John p. Golden as he
left the hospital for the night, "He is
perfectly easy"

improbable that some part of the army

TODAY, when q detachment of 125 men
commanded by a captain, who were
sent from Orizaba by General Bel
