BOSTON GAVE
THE COLONEL
BIG WELCOME
(National News Association

POINT OF PINES, Mass, Aug. IL
Fifteen thousand people, including
throngs of Progressive party enthus-
lasts from all parts of New England,
cheered Colonel Roosevelt today when
he fayed Senator Crane and denounc-
ed the nomination steal at the Repub-
lican national convention.
The colonel appeared in his best
fighting spirits The Progressives
held their first big meeting of the
campaign today and for an hour be-
fore the colonel's arrival the Progress
i've state ticket was doomed by prom
inent speakers. The colonels arrival
was the signal for big outburst of
cheering, and he launched at once on
his speech.
He said, in part:
1T is bad thing to win senator
ship by such methods as Mr. Lorimer
employed, but it is not one whit
worse than to steal a nomination for
the presidency by such methods as
were employed by the bosses who con-
trolled the Republican convention at
Chicago last June.
Certain ofgyour New England sena-
tors, | regret to say, took the lead
both in conducting the campaign for
the defense of Mr.. Lorimer and putting
through the steal of the Republican
nomination at Chicago.
when Senators Crane, Aldrich,
Penrose, Guggenheim, Gallinger, Dill
ingham and their associates together
with Senators Hanley, Johnson and
their associates on the Democratic
side stood by Senator Lorimer and
Senator Lorimer's right to sit in the
senate they were doing precisely and
exactly what Penrose, Crane, Guggen-
helm, Gallinger and their representa-
tives did later when they secured the
triumph of Lorimerism in the Repub-
lican convention at Chicago"
In his speech of acceptance Mr..
Wilson latter asking what is the
meaning Of the Baltimore platform and
answering his own question rather
the people of the United States to
adopt that platform and that the plat
form is not a program.
We Progressivess are much more
fortunate in our platform. We do not
have to apologize for it, nor speak of
it in language so carefully guarded as
to convey the impression that we are
endeavoring neither to repudiate nor
to support it."
Col Roosevelt devoted the remain
der OF his address to an explanation
of the various planks in the Progress
i've platform.
