Moose Movement

Oyster Bay, July PA protest
against any hint of sectionalism in
the new progressive party was made
today by Colonel Roosevelt, who SAID
that he did not care a rap where
man was born or whether his faith
er wore the Blue or the Grey, so
long as he was the right type
Colonel Roosevelt was told of a
speech made yesterday by Major Gen
eral Daniel e. Sickles of New York
at the meeting of the organization of
the new party in this state. Major
General Sickles was quoted as hav-
ing said that Woodrow Wilson was
born amid rebel surroundings and
that we of the north have never been
disposed to put such a man in the
White House" Colonel Roosevelt
said he could not discuss the speech,
but that it was the desire of the
founders of the new party to make
the movement one which would truly
represent all sections of the country.
The call for the progressive con
vention," he continued, stated that
this was to be nationwide, non-sec-
tional movement, free from any of
the sectional or other jealousies and
bitternesses of the past, In my
speech at the Orchestra Hall mass
meeting in Chicago in which ! stated

ted that we appealed alike to the
men who wore the Blue and the men
who wore the Gray and to the sons

to the sons of the men who wore
the gray.

NO man could be more prominent
in this movement than Judge Ben

father served IN Forests cavalry.
We appeal to northerners and south

alike. All | ask is that the man him

Republican Politicians Have Divided
Country into Four Districts

Washington, July 11.-When the
subcommittee of the Republican ma
tional committee meets in New York
on July 20 to complete the organiza-
ton OF the committee it will take up
a plan to divide the United States in
to four sections with an experienced
political leader in charge of each.
In other campaigns Republican
headquarters have been located in
Chicago and New York but the plan
proposed now is to have leaders es-
pecially charged with looking after
the east, middle west, far west and
the south.
For the east William Barnes, Jr.,
of New York is under consideration
and for the middle west with Chic
ago as a headquarters, John T. Ad-
ans of Iowa, Charles b. Warren of
Michigan or Thomas X. Niedringhaus
of Missouri, are being talked of.
Ii practically has been determined
that Ralph +. Williams of Oregon
will look after the Pacific coast.
Chairman Hilles believes that the
chances are excellent for carrying
lucky, Tennessee and Maryland and
a hard fight will be made there with
Senator Newell Sanders of Tennes-
see as leader.
All these captains will be under
the direction of National Chairman
Hilles. While Mr.. Hilles will have
headquarters in New York he ex-

The leading candidates against Mr.

He thanked the convention for his

After the nomination of officers the
convention was forced TO rush Its
business TO conclusion as many OF
the delegates were leaving for their

NAKED LAD ON 5TH AVENUE
Policeman Surprises Bathers In
Washington Park Fountain

New York, July 11.-Half a dozen
kids threw caution to the winds last
night and decided that the weather
conditions made it imperative to have
a swim in the fountain in Washing
ton Park. With a faithful ally hold
ing the clothes consisting of waists
and trousers, the little fellows were
having a dip when someone told Pa
trolman Abel of the Charles street
station.
Abel started for the fountain and
the kids warned by the cry of
cheese it, the cop" quit splashing
in the water and bolted. In the ex-
element three Of the six managed to
dress as they ran, but three oilers
missed their valet.
1t was not night for large police
man to chase a model for a Raphael
through the streets, but Abel did it.
One of the boys, Alfred Saicco, IL
years old, No. 1874 Thompson street,
dashed north through the park clad
only in the moisture from the foun-
tain that sparkled under the electric
lights as he ran.
Young men and women gasped and
others laughed as young Saicco sped
by, closely followed by a policeman
The boy went up Fifth avenue with
the policeman a close second.
RUDE sightseers on the Fifth aven-
lie stages decided you could see any
thing in New York if you waited.
Finally Saicco lost his race and was
caught near 18th street.
Camilo Denento, 10 years old. and
Giusseppi Sissunri, seven years old,
were also gathered in later and ar
rested. They are charged with juv-

LOR|MER CLAIMS
KERN'S CHARGES
ARE LIES
Offers to Leave Senate if They

KERN WILL NOT TALK BACK
Democratic Senator from Indiana
Says That Lormer ais in His
Death Agonies"

Washington, July Ex-senator Lor-
inner of Illinois continued today his
final defense of his right to a seat
in the Senate. He bitterly assailed
Senator Kern of Indiana. challenging
him to prove the charges he had
made, but Senator Kern, who was abb
sent when Lorimer made his on
slaught, only had this to say after
ward: 81 will have no colloquy with
Senator Lorimer He is in his death
agonies."
The accused Senator declared that
Mr.. Kern had repeatedly in his
speech misstated the record, and
that his misstatements were of
part with his whole attitude in the
case.
Mr. Lorimer read from Mr.. Kern's
speech many statements, all of which
Mr.. Lorimer declared, were absolute
ly in controversion of the record of
the case.
These are the lies" shouted the
accused Senator throwing Mr. Kern's
speech on his desk, with which this
reformer has assailed me. Day after
day he has sat here, with his holier-
than-thou expression. and | have
watched him wondering. But his fall
sifications exceed all bounds. Sena-
tors. he called, in a gesture of APP
peal, ''if any one can find in the rec
ord single word to show that these
statements of Mr.. Kern are true and
not miserable lies ! will walk out
of this chamber at this moment and
never try to re-enter it. The Senate
will be relieved of the embarrass-
ment of a vote"

SPECIAL TOWN MEETING
Called for Tuesday, July 80, To Con
slider Road Question

A special town meeting has been
called by the selectmen for Tuesday,
July 30, to see if the town will vote
to raise $4,000 to be used in connec-
ton with a similar sum to be paid by
the state to improve the highway
south of the village and also the
Harwood hill road.
These are the two roads leading in
to Bennington which give the town
a bad reputation to the travelling
public coming in here. They are
also important roads in local traffic
and if once put in shape can be kept
up at small cost leaving more money
for the other roads.
The special town meeting is fixed
for July 80 because that is the day
of the special congressional election
and thee two can be combined making
no extra expense.
