ROOSEVELT

Ranch Friends of Early Days Ex-
tend Enthusiastic Greeting

Wilson and the democratic party.
Col. Roosevelt told the people Of
Montana today, had nothing to pro-
prose for dealing effectively with
the trust problem. Wall street was
so well pleased with the policy of
the administration. he said, that it
was crying. Give me another dis
solution"
Col. Roosevelt was in a reminis-
cent mood today. He talked more
about old days on the Maltese Cross
ranch than about politics. The
colonel was a cowpuncher 80 years
ago on a ranch at Medora. N. D.
He passed through Medora in the
night. and as the boys whom |
left" could not see him there they
came on to Miles City where they
gave him a true western welcome in
the morning.
Others of his old friends he found
scattered all along the way through
western Montana.

boys was out in force. They rode

looked enviously at them and their
sombreros and gay colored shirts
and remarked that it would be
mighty good to be back COW punch
ing again. They rode their horses
on the tracks, and as the train pull
ed out dashed wildly over the ties in
pursuit. waving sombreros and
shouting until at last steam proved
superior to horse flesh and they
were lost in the distance.
Col. Roosevelt made a dozen
speeches, most of them little talks
with the people who gathered to see
him at the settlements along the
way. At Billings the streets in
front of the railway station were
blocked by a large crowd and at
Livingston the populace a out in
force. The largest crowd of the day
greeted him in Helena.
