AS the Roosevelt auto came into
the circle in the fair grounds a great
cheer went up from the crowd and
Colonel Roosevelt was seen to wave
his hat to the throngs. He had mo
tored from Morrisville, where he had
spoken at the fair. When he mount
ed the platform a fresh cheer broke
from the audience. Little time was
wasted and without introduction Mr..
Roosevelt began to talk. For the
first few minutes he held his hat IN
one hand but then threw it into a
chair remarking that he did not need
that now.
Roosevelt held close attention for
over forty minutes while he ex-
pounded the gospel of his party. He
raped both the republican and dem
ocratic parties. spoke of the republi-
can convention. which was stolen
from him, referred to the corrupt ton
| Metzger for governor by the voters
of Vermont, declaring that a vote for
Metzger was a vote for him. He
did not allude to the Archibold-P PEN
rose campaign controversy and sever
al other topics which his hearers had
J expected.
| His speech from beginning to end
was calm and deliberate and less
characteristic of bin than his listen
ers expected after reading several of
his recent speeches.
He said he supposed he knew what
the strenuous life was but found he
did not really know until he struck
Vermont on this tour. He also said
he was surprised at the enthusiastic
reception he had been given on every
hand in Vermont and had no fear of
the outcome in November.
Immediately following his speech
he hurried to his motor car and start
ed for St. Johnsbury. where he spoke
that evening.

ROOSEVELT AT BARTON
Immense Crowd Hears Colonel at Barton
Fair Grounds Friday Afternoon.
Metzger Also Speaks.

A crowd estimated all the way
from 1000 to $4,000 but placed by the
most conservative at between 5000 and
5000 gathered at the fair grounds in
Barton Friday afternoon to- the great
progressive rally at which Colonel
Roosevelt spoke.
Soon after noon people began gath
ering at the grounds in order to be
able to get the best places and all the
afternoon until 80 o'clock when he
was scheduled to appear, teams and
automobiles were coming into town
and special train from Newport ar
rived about 3 80 o'clock containing 13
cars and drawn by two locomotives.
The train was crowded and was la
beled "Bull Moose Special.
The crowd nearly filled the grand
stand at the fair grounds. filled the
track between the vaudeville plat
form and the grand stand and the
chairs upon the same platform where
Colonel Roosevelt spoke were filled
with old soldiers, choir of young
women and others. Four bands, the
Barton, Newport, Glover and West
Derby, furnished music. AS the crowd
broke up the young ladies sang to the

especially for the occasion.
Preceding Mr. Roosevelt the Rev.
Fraser Metzger of Randolph, pro-
gressive candidate for governor,
spoke for fully a half hour. Mr..
! Metzger was introduced by Rev. A.
B. Blake. Mr.. Metzger said that be-
fore coming to Vermont he thought
/ New York state republican politics
were bad and considered turning to
the democrats but said they were
even worse. After coming to Yer.
mont he affiliated himself with the re
publican party but said he had found
the party too boss ridden for him and
that he took the first opportunity to
get out. Mr.. Metzger pleased his
hearers very much and many said
they were much more favorably i'm
pressed with him than they expect
ed to be. Mr.. Metzger said he knew
all were impatient to see the rea
article and would not attempt tc
speak a minute after Colonel Roose
velt arrived.

Yates at Republican Rally.

Ex-Gov. Yates of Illinois and War
rem r. Austin of st. Albans spoke at
republican rally Thursday after
noon at Seaver's hall and the Barton
band furnished music. The audience
listened with great interest while
Mr.. Austin told of the various atti-
tudes Metzger, progressive candidate
for governor, had taken in the past
few months, spoke of the accomplish
ments of the party IN Vermont the
past few years and asked that the
voters continue the party of accom-.
plishments in power.
FIX Gov. Yates followed with an
eloquent appeal for the national
principles of republicanism. Mr..
Yates has been intimate with Mr..
Roosevelt for years and suggested
him for president in 1904 three years
before that time. He also told of his
break with the colonel and declared
that there seemed to be two Roose-
velts, one great statesman; the
other cunning and ambitious politi
clan. He urged that the matter be
settled in quiet meditation and not
with passionate haste. He paid an
eloquent tribute to Taft and said that
he believed the great state of Illinois
would give him $4,000 majority in
Nov ember.
