Special 10 The Tribune.
OGDEN, Sept. 14.-Johu M. Harlan
Of Illinois and former Congressman o.
Adam Bede of Minnesota, Hsyed Colonel
Roosevelt mercilessly before a small
audience at the Orpheum theater here
tonight Owing TO the fact that word
Of the coming Of these two orators was
not received in Ogden until too late to
advertise properly the meeting, the at
tendance was discouragingly small.
However, the speakers gave forceful
and eloquent addresses, directed for the
most part against Colonel Roosevelt,
Both speakers declared that he was
deliberate falsifer, that his bid for pub.
lie popularity and his desire for public
office was based wholly on bombast. Flo
was denomipated rs the worst and most
dangerous political boss the country had
ever known.
Platform Pl,nctured.
The platform of the now party was
dissected and discussed in detail. Mr..
Harlan pointed out that the platform of
the new party did not deal with ma
tional issues, but with state problems,
and that the national government had
no power and could be given no power
to carry out the pledges embodied in
the new platform.
Mr.. Harlan brought out some ghosts
Of Colonel Roosevelt past utterances
to haunt him, showing that his utter
ances in the past were directly in op-
position to his present position on these
questions and were convincing proof
Of his present insincerity.
Former Congressman Bede's address
sparkled with brilliancy. His stories
and puns kept the house In laughter all
OF the time and his ready wit was used
with telling effect against Colonel
| Roosevelt. Mr.. Bede's talk was ono
Of optimistic philosophy. His honlely
illustrations and his timely Jokes were
| clever bits of a forceful and eloaueut
address He did not devote as much
| of his address to tho colonel as did Mr..
Harlan, speaking for tho most part
along the lines of patriotism to conn.
try and the need for union in battling
with the nation s problems.
Reason for Third Party.
Mr.. Bede said that he favored two
parties and only two. He called at.
tention to the fact that in case new
party wero formed every time a person
were defeated FOR a nomination the
country would soon be divided into a
large number of political parties and
which ever party won would secure
only plurality of the votes of the
country and the government would be
ono Of the minority instead of one OF
the majority. He ssid the Republican
party was all right for Roosevelt every
year and every day in tho year until
June %, 1912, when he was beaten for
the presidential nomination. Then and
only then did it become corrupt and

STATE FAIR DATE
BACK TWO WEEKS
COMES OFF NEXT YEAR SEPTEM.
Der 20 TO OCTO-
Der 4.

NASHVILLE, Dec. tennessee
State Fair will meet two weeks later
next year than it has been meeting
during the past five years. The GUS
tomary season has been from Sep
TENDER 16, IL and Is for one week.
Next year the date has been set for
the week beginning Sept. 20, and last
ing for one week until Oct. A. This
change was effected by and through
the influence of Emmett Caaper,
member of the board, and ]. w. Russ
wurm, secretary, both of whom are
attending the sessions of the conyen-
ton of the national association OF
state fairs, which has been in session
at Chicago.
This arrangement will be very sat
isfactory to the people all over the
state as well as to the board Of trus-
tees, and to all persons interested in
the success of the state fair The
movement to change the date Of the
fair has been on for some time. 1t
has been aggitated from time to time
nearly every year for the past five
years. 1t has happened for, several
fairs that the weather has not been
favorable, resulting in financial loss.
The board, therefore, saw the need Of
a change in date. 1t was taken UP in
Cead earnest at the last meeting, and
discussion resulted in sending two
delegates to Chicago for the purpose
of trying for the very thing which
they succeeded in doing.
