Newark. N. j., May 23.-'I thought
I'd had a middling lively time In the
west. but upon my word New Jersey
beats it,
Colonel Roosevelt made this remark
tonight as he gazed on the crowd be-
fore him. The people had been cheer

could get In a word.
The rally came toward the close of
the opening day of Colonel Roosevelt's $
New Jersey campaign. The colonel
said he was deeply moved by the way
he had been received. Wherever he
went in the northern part of the
state he was met by large crowds.
Beginning at Paterson. tho colonel
made a dozen speeches. going from
Newark to Jersey City for the last ad-
dress of the day.
After Colonel Roosevelt told the
crowd that New Jersey had beaten
the west some one called out:

reply.
But the impulsive Judgment of the
people of Ohio was all right, too. Ev-
erybody is all right" he added, as the
crowd laughed. Il want to express
my profound appreciation" Colonel
Roosevelt began, but the crowd was
not ready to stop cheering and he
had to stop again.
Il hope you will vote as you shout"
he said.
Some one called to him that he
need not worry about New Jersey and
he replied:
I'm not worrying about anything
now. Let the other fellows do the
worrying"
In his speeches today Mr.. Roosevelt
for the most part avoided criticism of
President Taft. He made an OCCASION

his opponents in general. but dwelt
more upon broad questions of policy
in national and state government.

The report will in all probability
criticise the Titanic commander and

San Diego, Cal. May 23.-The spir-
it of San Diego, so far as the Indus
| trial Workers of the World disturb
ances were concerned, was still mill
tant tonight on the eve of the arrival
Of Attorney General Webb to investi-
gate conditions here.
The daylight committee de-
signed to replace the so-called 'vigi-
lantes' was increased. and one bank
president, julius Wangenheim, made
the declaration that every citizen Of
San Diego was ready to shoulder a
musket in the defense of his home"
Mr.. Wangenneim stated frankly that
he was an advocate of the daylight
league" as he believed something
drastic should be done to meet the sit
uation caused by the so-called free
speech" campaign of the Industrial
Workers of the World and their SYM
pathizers.
THE city has the right to protect
ITSELF" declared Mr.. Wangenheim,
"but what is done should be done in
the open and by day and after calm
consideration. The citizens should
work with the approval of the police
department.
THE actions the 'vigilantes' have
taken were right, but they should
have acted by daylight instead of at
night.
II favor the daylight league, but
hope that conditions will be such that
no action against undesirables will be
necessary. / have had an expression
of similar opinion from Lyman j.
Gage. former secretary of the treas
ury. am glad the attorney general Is
coming here"
State Senator Leroy A. Wright,
counsel for J. M. Porter, vlgilante
leader, said efforts had been made
by Industrial workers and their friends
to settle the differences over the
street speaking ordinances. He said.
however, he was opposed to any set
tlement which could be construed as
a surrender on the part of the city.
It was said today, on what is con-
sidered good authority, that DIR. Ben
Retman, manager for Emma Gold
man, had not been treated so badly
as reported when he was recently taxi
en- from a hotel here and tarred out
side the city limits.
Those who should know of the Reit-
man case declare that only cold tar
was used and that 1t had not been
placed all over the mans body. 1t was
said the letters, Il. w. w." had been
written in tar upon Reitman's back
and that some tar had been rubbed on
his breast and abdomen. A lighted |
cigar was not touched to his flesh. 1t
was stated. Then he was given his
undergarments, his shoes. stockings |
and trousers and permitted to go after
all his money had been returned to
him, IL was said. His other clothes
we're buried near the scene of the |
Iarring, II was said. Reitman had been
'orced to kiss the American flag and
sing the "Star Spangled Banner" 1t
