tucked some of the so called progress
sive legislation in very positive man.
ner when Ben Lindsey arose, more to
question of personal privilege than
for the purpose of directly discussing
the measures. He started out by say
ing that the stDckmen of the state
had invited Col. Roosevelt to this meet
ing, but that it was impossible for the
colonel to be present and that he ap-
peared as Mr.. Roosevelt s personal rep.
resentative and that he brought a per.
sOnai message from the colonel to the
convention.
! He was told that the stockmen ha
had quite enough of Teddy and that
they did not care to hear from him
further. Undismayed Lindsey launch
ed into eulogy of the x-president,
declaring him the greatest ruler this
country had ever known and predict.
ing that the time was close at hand
when Roosevelt would again preside
over this nation and that he would put
into effect the greatest progressive pola
icies' the country had ever yet. dfeanfell
of. Here he waited for applause, but
there was not ripple and he soon took
his seat greatly embarrassed.
Later when Lindsey's pet measure,
the mother S compensation act, was u
for discussion, Col b. +. Montgomery
attacked the bill in very strong Ian
guage, declaring that it placed alto
especially when it was such a man as
Lindsey. And then answering Lind
sey's remarks concerning the invitatio 1
of the stockmen to Roosevelt, Mont
gomery asked what stockmen extended
such invitation and by what authority
such action was taken. Fred johnson,
the secretary of the Colorado Stock
growers association, explained that
the stockmen had not extended such an
invitation, but that the citizens of
Glenwooi had invited both Col. Roosc.
welt and Champ Clark to be present,
but both had declined. Continuing,
Col. Montgomery said, "'That explains
the invitation that has been given to
the egotistical individual of Oyster
Bay, but for my part l am glad he is
not here" $50 am l., - $50 am |, -
shouted forty or fifty voices almost
in a chorus from all parts of the
house.
In further discussing the bill Col.
Montgomery said, "It is unfortunate
that we are called upon to discuss pro-
posed legislation that is result of
mania. Now this fellow Lindsey is ac
tuated by mania, just like that other
fellow over at Sycamore hill at whom
he has been throwing boquets. don t
know just how to designate it, but for
the purpose of this discussion L think
we will call it the bull moose mania.'
This brought prolonged cheers and ap-
plause after which Montgomery took
his seat and w. R. Callicotte on behalf
of the state humane society made an
attack on Lindsey in which he accused
him of dishonesty and insincerity and
an attempt to use his office to carry
out his personal and political ambitions.
On a vote being taken to endorse
the mother IS compensation bill it was
overwhelmingly defeated, very much to
Lindsey's chagrin.
The meeting approved the headles,
ballot bill, the contempt of court act
and the bank bills
On Wednesday another tilt took
place between Judge Lindsey and Col.
Montgomery when the former, with the
aid of Claude Street and c. P. Link of
the Direct Legislation league, under
took to defend the so-called progressive
legislation and especially such bills as
are endorsed by the league.
In order to head off further discus
sion some one made motion that all
