Welt sympathizers, declined to allow
it. The Taft orators hurried into
getting there fifteen minutes
before Roosevelt left. They stayed
downtown. and as the e-president
boarded his train the pair launched
their attack.
Here tonight Roosevelt expressed
hts opinion of the two invaders In
decisive terms
Amy man. who knowing the facts
of the Chicago theft as they know
It, and who insists upon misrepre-
senting them is not entitled to be
believed" declared the colonel.
They're All Fathers.
ANY man reiterat.ag the false
hood that the nomination was not
stolen Is himself falsitier. Taft's
nomination was a clear theft. Ev-
cry man who has taken the trouble
TO aeduaint himself with the faatss
tnows it. use the worA theft as
describing with semitic precision
what was done at Chicago. No ex-
republican need have any qualms of
conscience about quitting party so
rotten"
The, ex-president felt buoyed up
over the situation in Idaho today,
when he learned that Senator Borah,
who has stood aloof from the third
party, had decided not to fight Roose-
welt in the State. Borah is up for
reelection. and calculates that the
only chance he has is to keep the
Progressive lineup intact. he as
sured Roosevelt that he will assume
neutral attitude in the national
ticket fight. but added that his SYM
pathies are with the colonel.
Confident Of Idaho.
With Borah practically on the
Roosevelt bandwagon the Progressive
are confident that they will sweep
Idaho.
In his dash through Oregon and
Idaho today, the ex-president took
up conservation, committing himself
TO rigid policy Ii elected president,
Il intend. II / am sent back to
Washington, to see that conserva-
ton policy favoring the small man

want the actual homemaker. the act
ual settler to be able to leave his
land to his children. and not have it
go TO some rich promoter, who does
not live here"
Roosevelt refrained from hammer
ing Governor Wilson In his speeches
today, thereby making a radical de-
parture from his custom. The ex-
president allowed 1t to be known that
y is averse to attacking the Demo
cratic candidate unless Wilson pops
at him.
