Oyster Bay, N. r. Oct. 2s-on %.
count OF . number Of threatening let
esrs received BY Colonel Roosevelt,
and the presence in Oyster Bay Of q
stranger who attempted to make his
way into the oolonel's house, steps
have bean taken to guard the life Of
the former president. A tentative de-
cision was reached to engage one or
two men to protect Colonel Roosevelt
during the remainder, Of the campaign
and for q time thereafter II the colonel
has not recovered sufficiently by cleo
ton day to be able to defend himself.
Colonel R%oosevelt's condition con-
tnues to improve and his physicians
say he will be able to speak at the
Madison Square Garden meeting in
New York on Wednesday night, il no
unforeseen complications arise, but
they said that he would be unable to
40 any further campaigning.
The mar who attempted to see Col.
onel Roosevelt arrived in Oyster Bay
and set out on foot for Sycamore Hill.
He was met at the door by the COL
onels secretary and insisted that he
must see the former president. al.
though told that no visitors were be.
ing received.

no reason for asking to see the COL
ooel, but persisted in his demands I'M.
III he was cut off sharply and told to
leave Sycamore Hill. He then asked
TO see Mrs. Roosevelt. The coloners
secretary finally persuaded him that
It was useless and he went away.
There was nothing about the mans
manner to suggest that he would at
tempt violence, and he was described
by those who saw him as being ap-
parently harmless.
The stranger returned to the village
and wrote a long, rambling letter to
Colonel Roosevelt. Then he disap-
peared. No trace Of him could be
found In Oyster Bay later and
It was not known whether he had left.
cranks Stirred Up..
The attempt on Colonel Roosevelt's
life was said by DR.. George W. Faller
OF Oyster Bay, one Of the colonels
physicians, to have stirred up cranks
and to be responsible for the letters
which Colonel Roosevelt has received
since his return to Oyster Bay. In
some of them threats have been made
against the colonel and it was decid-
ed that the danger of another attempt
to assassinate him was sufficient to
make it necessary to guard him. Z,
The colonel's physicians wish to
have him get out of doors as soon as
possible, believing that he will be
benefited greatly by doing SO, but they
are unwilling to risk the chance Of
another attack. It is probable that
he will be kept in the house until ad.
equate protection has been provided.

West Virginia will elect six con-
gressmen this year-one from each
of the present five districts and one
to be elected by the voters of the
whole state. Every voter thus votes
for two congressman, one at large
and one from his district. Each of
the six Republican candidates isf
running on two tickets with plat
forms as differet as day and night
and not one of them has stated on
which platform he will stand, if he
should be elected The Progressive
platform under the personal super
vision Of Mr.. Roosevelt, says "the
Republican organization is in the
hands Of those who have broken and
cannot again be trusted to keep the
promise of necessary downward re-
vision" That Progressive be
lieving in his party platform, can
vote for a Republican candidate for
Congress, seems impossible. That a
Republican, could vote for Progress
sive on the Progressive platform
seems equally impossible. If the vo-
ter believes in tariff reduction and
Wantes to know that his Congress
man represents his views his only
chance is to vote for the Democratic
candidates. II he believes in the
protective tariff system and wants
the tariff duties retained, he does
not know how to vote, for the Re-
publican candidates will NOT declare
their views on the tariff.

II the bill introduced BY DR.. Hat
field in the Senate at the last regu-
lar session Of the legislature had be-
come a law every man who partici-
pated in the selection of delegates
to the Chicago convention would
have had to vote the Republican
ticket from Taft down without 9
scratch, while every man who par
ticipated In the Republican primary
election in June would have had to
vote for every man nominated on
the Republican ticket. Failure to
do SO would have been punishable,
upon conviction, by confinement iii
the penitentiary for one year and
disqualification from ever holding
any Office of profit or trust in the
State. Possibly DIR. Hatfield when
he introduced this bill, had in mind
that he might become a candidate
some day and want the vote OF ev.
cry man who voted against him in
the primary election. AS 1t is, no
person who voted In the primary
election for any candidate is bound
to support that candidate or any
other who was nominated. But. IL
DR.. Hatfeld's bill had passed he
could have sent to the penitentiary
every Republican who voted in the
primary election for any office and
failed to support every nominee OF

Mr.. Bryan's principal speech of

action OF the national republican
committee in seating the Taft dele
gates at the Chicago convention. He
said the system was wrong, but the
custom was a time honored one and
similar action was taken by the dem
ocrats in control at Baltimore. He
criticized the progressives for hav-
ing failed at their convention to
make any effort toward remedying
