Admirers.

ST. PAUL, MINI. Sept "a lusty
brass band awakened Colonel Rooso-
welt at the union station here at Il
O'Clock this morning, when his train
arrived from Des Mones 1t was ac-
companied by an eager reception COM
mittee of 200 insistent Bull Moosers
who kept yelling for the colonel Half
an hour later the colonel appeared on
the platform of his private car smiling
amiably
He got tremendous whoop. Roose-
welt observed that Minnesota appeared
TO wake up early in the day
We have been awake long time"
came the reply. We're going to stay
Up until we elect YOU"
The ex-president was taken to break
fast a the st. Paul hotel. after which
he shook hands with the Minnesota
leaders. He was assured that the Pro-
grsssiVes are putting up a good bat
tie in the state and that the colonel
will carry the state in November.
AT 1880 O'Clock the ex- president left
for the state fair grounds in Mime
apolis to deliver an address at the agri-
cultural building
At the fair grounds Roosevelt was
met by a special Minneapolis COM
mittee and brought to that city, where
he was banQueted at 1890 O'Clock.
About 500 attended. Following this. he
became the guest OF Congressman
Frank NJ. Nye on an automobile tour
of the city.
Guest at Farmers" Dinpor
IN innovation will be accorded MIN
this evening when the managers of the
state fair viii tender him a farmers
dinner The management of the fair
reserved the privilege Of having the
colonel alone during the dinner and
politics will be tabooed.
With a flourish, Colonel Roosevelt
swung in the state fair grounds here
today while $1,000 people cheered. The
throng waved bandanna handkerchiefs
and the band played Cary owen"
and the Bull Moose cry split the air
The colonel spoke to the immense
crowd from a grandstand erected I'M
der the shade trees near the agricul-
tural hall. In the course of his talk
he attacked Governor Eberhart, Repub-
lican standpatter, for aligning himself
| with the Taft forces in the state. Be
fore the colonel started talking a young
woman in blue sang a melody, in which
a line in the chorus ran I'm not afraid
of the Bull Moose" The crowd took
up the refrain. calling Who's afraid?
! Who's afraid"
While the colonel was talking he
handed his black broad brimmed hat to
a Bull Mooser on the platform
That's the hat that's in the ring"
Quoth the colonel, and the crowd
cheered wildly.
Fight Between Bosses and People.
This is only nominally three cor
nered fight" said the colonel in speak
ms to the Iowa state Progressive state
convention last night In reality, the
fight is between the party of the people
on one side and on the other the bosses
and the beneficiaries of privilege who
will throw their weight to whichever
OF the old parties they think can beat
us.
You'll ma long before election day |
already there are symptoms OF it
that the old Republican party has been |
swept aside. Tire fight lies between us |
and the old machine Democracy. / ap-
peal to even former Democrats who are |
loyal to the principles of jefferson and |
Andrew Jackson to stand with us, and !
] appeal to every former Republican |
who is loyal TO the principles Of A6ra-
ham Lincoln.
The official Republican party Of to- |
day bears to the party Of Lincoln the |
same resemblance that a ship which |
has been captured by pirates does to |
the ship before II vas completed |
Barnes Penrose, G12senhsim and the
rest of them wouldn't have known |
what was meant by Republican prin-
ciples if YOU had mentioned them |
Those men represent the crooked alH- |
ance between crooked politics and |
crooked business, which has been the |
curse Of American life They knew at |
the Republican convention in Chicago !
that they were insuring the defeat of |
themselves. They expected the Demo-
cratic party to come into pOwer-but |
they thought we would confine our
selves to putting the other set of bosses |
into power, and that after four years
they would come back again. Nothing
is gained by changing the whip Of
Barnes Penrose and Guggenheim for
the scorpion OF Murphy, Sullivan and |
Taggart All bosses look alike to us.
6artholdt "Hishwayman."
u see that Mr.. What's his-name, |
that congressman from East St. Louis |
Bartholdt-he is one of the highway |
men-has asked Mr.. Cummins to de- |
bate the Texas, California and Wash |
ington contests at Chicago. | hope Mr.. |
Cummins will refuse for the. reason |
that ! wouldn't debate with a pick !
pocket the ownership of a watch he
has just stolen. If the police are handy. |
I'll hand him over to them II thew
are not, I'll tend to him myself. ANY
man, any candidate for governor or
other office who has knowledge of the
facts and supports Mr.. Taft gives us
the right to say that he is not COM
