POCATELLO, Idaho, Sept. 13-I
Pleased with the receptions accorded
him and satisfied that he has placed
Governor Wilson on the defensive,
! Colonel Roosevelt took it easy today
while proceeding southeasterly out OF
Idaho and into Utah. Until Brother
/ Wilson" as the bull moose dubs his
/ democratic opponent, comes out again
! the colonel will reserve his fire,
merely pounding away on points in
! the progressive platform which he
feels are of particular interest in the
locality in which he is speaking.
i It was conservation upon which the
colonel specialized today in his short
talks, though he stroye as far as pos
sible to avoid making speeches at
!. smaller stops. At Ogden this after
noon he was scheduled for compre-
hensive review of the progressive
party's principles before the state
bull moose convention.
The colonel is not yet tired out but
1t is apparent that after ten days OF
, campaigning he Is beginning to feel
! the need of greater rest; so it hap
pened that for the first time since he
left New York on September 2, the
= colonel tried to snatch a brief nap
e whenever it was possible. But IT the
d bull moose was tired it did not affect
4 his appetite. Sliced peaches, a can
d. l..talonpe. three, fried eggs, two hugs
n helpings. of bacon. three slices OF
O toast, two biscuits and some coffee
It made up his breakfast. After this
s meal the COLONEL nibbled away at
d some fruit, as he laughingly explain
i ed, to reduce the supply. The pri-
y vate cars larders have been over
stocked during the last few days by
e fruits and flowers.
g One enthusiast today tossed aboard
/ a potato that must have weighed sew
!, eral pounds and which had a resemb
J. lance to human face. The tubel
u was furnished with small sombrerc
and pair of glasses and named
p Teddy
"Who says that is good resemb
lance?" demanded the colonel il
tones of mock anger, 'just for tha

twins for the colonel's inspection

with bitter reference to Presiden
