ROOSEVELT SPEAKS AT
PARKERSBURG, ". VIRGINIA.
Charges Opponents with Unfair Methods
In An Effort to Defeat Him at the
Convention Which Is Soon to
Be Held in That City.

Parkersburg, W. Va, April A.
Striking hard at his political oppo-
nents here, Col. Roosevelt charged
them in speech. tonight. with using
unfair methods in an effort to defeat
him ut the convention soon to be held
in this city. The former President
said he had been informed that plans
We're being made to turn the Wood
county convention against him, not
withstaudiug that it had been repre-
sented TO him that a large majority
of the people We're on the Roosevelt
side. The colonel appealed to the peo-
pie to do all that lay within their pow
er to make the convention one which
would be a fair expression of the pop
ular will,
Col. Rooseveit's speech was deliver
Ell at the close of the second day of
his campaign in West Virginia and
Kentucky. He remained in Parkers-
burg five hours, during which time he
made two speeches.
The auditorium in which he spoke
tonight, was altogether too small for
the crowd which sought admission.
A platform had been erected in front
of the Court house and the colonel
made speech there to an overlooking
meeting.
Besides touching upon local politi-
cal conditions, Col. Roosevelt dwelt
at length on what he said he regarded
as the fundamental issue in this cam
pagn. This issue, he said, was best
expressed in the sentence which he is
now interfering into almost every
speech, to the effect that the country
must be "a pretty good place for all
of us if it is to be good place for
any of us
last night, that TO insure the future
peace and happiness of the people of
this country, it is necessary that the
people control the machinery of gov
eminent more directly. In the re-
mainder OF his speech he covered
much of the same ground as that
gone over at Louisville.
Col. Roosevelt spent the day be-
fore reaching Parkersburg in riding
| along the south shore of the Ohio
river Reaching Cincinnati, early this
morning, he turned eastward, travel
| ing across Kentucky and West Vir-
GINA. AS he entered this state he
was met by Gov. Glasscock, who act
| ed as pilot the rest of the days jour-
ney and introduced the colonel to the
crowds.

colonel was called from his car to

GOV. FOSS WITHDRAWS.
Will Not Be Candidate on Presidential
Preference Primary Ballot.

Boston, April 4.-Gov. Eugene N Foss
withdrew his name, tonight, from the
Presidential preference primary ballot.
In a letter accompanying the withdrawal
he asked that delegate candidates pledg-
ed to him consider themselves as un-
pledged.
The letter of Gov. Foss, which is adj
dressed to Thomas 7. Riley, chairman
of the Democratic state committee, says:
Il regret to learn that representatives
of one or more of the avowed candidates

step out of courtesy to me.
please communicate with these rep
resentatives, if possible. and urge them
to permit the names of their candidates
to remain upon the ballot
II deeply appreciate the courtesy indi-
Gated by such intended wthdrawal; but
if only one name appears on the ballot
then there will be no chance for n pop
ular expression of preference, and L can
not consent to such an arrangement
whereby the purpose of the preferential

pie deprived of their newly acquired

tiOn OF America.
Business Me- iings al Methodist
Conference at RockIand.

Rockland, Me-, April 4.--"When we

world" declared Rev. DIR. Robert
Forbes of Philadelphia, secretary of
the Board of Home Missions and
Church Extension, in a brief address,
today, at the East Maine Methodist
conference.

children of foreigners are being
taught the English language. Dr.

time there will be a home missions
council of one general board of Pro-
testant churches. for the reason that
there is neither time nor money TO
waste and it would decrease the num-
Der of officials and result in better
system of work.
Rev. DR.. George NJ Fowles spoke
for the Foreign Missionary Society.
He explained the indebtedness of the
society was due To the success of the
movement rather than any failure,
the reason being that the countries
are more receptive to missionary in
fluence than ever before
