TALE OF CHOLERIC COLONEL
The Bull Moose ON Rampage in
Portland, Oregon
fPortland. ore. despatch to- the Los

portland, Ore, despatch to the Los
Angeles Times)
Roosevelt, on his campaigning Wis
it to Portland today, by his peculiar
conduct broke up the set programme
arranged by the reception committee,
disrupted a parade, left an audience
waiting for a speech that wasn't
made and departed from Portland to-
night leaving the ears of several
prominent citizens tingling with the
memory of some pointed remarks
made in the Coloners most peculiar
style.
Roosevelt reached the city early in
the morning evidently in no good
humor, and his maudlin spirit did
not improve as he was taken from
one conference to another, although
the committee tried it's best to please
him
The open break came when the
formal parade of the day was in
progress. The parade had proceed
ed several miles and was turning
back toward the center of the city
when Roosevelt viciously inquired,
Whats next?"
When DR.. H. V. Coe, Bull Moose
committeeman for Oregon, responded
that after the conclusion of the par
ade the Colonel was scheduled to
deliver an open-air address in Plaza
Park before going to the Auditorium
for the main speech of the day, the
Colonel rebeIled.
II won't do it. You have no bus
mess to make such programme for
me-" he shouted violently at DIR.
Coe. Take me out into the country"
Occupants of several dozen auto
mobiles following in line were amaz-
ed and chagrined to see the car con-
tanning the Colonel and DIR. Coe shoot
ahead at high speed, turn a corner
and disappear from sight.
AS a result of Roosevelt's deser-
ton the parade broke up with
thousands of persons standing in line
wondering what they had done to in
cur his brutality.
The paraders were altogether un-
aware that the Colonel had become
angered, and the management order
ed the programme broken up with
out warning and cut loose from the
whole thing. Meanwhile 5000 per-
sons were gathered at the Plaza
Park waiting for the Colonel to
deliver a short address. After a
dreary hour had passed the crowd
dwindIed away in disgust.
Roosevelt gave no thought to the
crowds that he had disappointed
both on the streets and in Plaza
Park. He was taken to st. Johns and
Kenton in the suburbs Of Portland,
where he enjoyed quiet spin, and
if he gave any thoughts of the dis
rupted programme there was no
apology.
While Roosevelt was speeding
about members of the entertainment
committee who had been left behind
started a search for him. Several
automobiles were sent scouting
about the city trying to find the
colonel, but there was no idea that
he had made for the country and no
one saw Roosevelt until he conclud-
ed his ride and returned to the ho-
tel.
Roosevelt was also scheduled by
the committee to make an address at
Park, where another small
audience awaited him. The Colonel
went to the park according to sche-
dule, but he absolutely refused to
leave his automobile and after say
ing a few words dashed away before
the crowd knew he had arrived.

Some Things For Voters to Read About President Taft
and Theodore Roosevelt.

in here. Governor Marshalrs words
are as follows:
This American Chandelier will find
that the sun has arisen on Nov. 5
next without his Growing. Yet it is
well for us to be on our guard. If
you can't get along without Roose-
velt now, when can you? He says
it will take forty years to accomplish
his work. If he does not live that
long who is to complete it for him?
The American people have got
along without Roosevelt during the
past four years, and got along very
well. President Taft has not been
devoting himself to growing, as his
predecessor did, but the sun has
risen day after day since the 4th of
March, 1909, just as it did when the
man from Oyster Bay was sWagger-
ing in the White House. The quiet,
but forceful administration of Pres
ident Taft has been more advan-
tageous to the republic than was the
brass band administration of Roose-
welt.
Roosevelt's Chanticleer instincts
are keeping him going. He scratches
to certain extent but not enough to
scratch up for a third term the prize
of the presidency. He flies up on the
fence and flaps his wings and crows
at frequent intervals, and with much
evident enjoyment. There is no paral-
lei between Ex-President Roosevelt
and the American eagle, but there is
more than one obvious parallel be-
tween the ex-President and M. Ros-
tand's Chanticleer.-E Milwaukee

why Bother With Facts?

Elon H. Hooker, one of the bright
young Bull-Moosers who is treasurer
of the party, testified before the SEN
ate committee that Charles R.. Crane
gave $4,000 to Senator La Follette's
pre-eonvention campaign fund and
$4,000 to Governor Wilson's cam
paign fund. Mr.. Crane testified that
he gave $26, 1884 to the La Toilette
fund and $4,000 to the Wilson fund
after it became apparent~that the
Wisconsin senator could not be nom
mated at Chicago.
There is considerable difference
between $4,000 and $50, 1874, but
little matters like truth never trouble
the third-term campaigners. Just as
Mr.. Roosevelt always appeals to the
higher law, which is himself, so they
appeal to the higher veracity, which
is Mr.. Roosevelt. Why bother with
facts ?-[New York World, Dem.

hit of Ex-President Roosevelt to a T

ton of that strutting fowl, in which
the king of the barnyard is represent

is his growing which causes the sun
to rise. There is another point of
view from which Roosevelt and

but the democratic candidate for the

Another Moose Out For Revenge

In Oklahoma, which the Bull
Moosers are very hopeful of carrying
the dispatches say that the Bull
Moose movement is led by Governor
Haskell. Governor Haskell is the
man who was treasurer of the. Dem
ocratic National committee in 1908,
when Bryan ran against Taft. He re-
tired from the position under fire,
resigning not because he admitted
the truth of the charges against him
the truth of the charges brought
against him, but because he did not
wish to embarrass the committee and
the democratic cause by remaining.
Governor Haskell is the man of
whom Colonel Roosevelt wrote to
Mr.. Bryan. from the White House,
on Sept. %. 1908:
Gov. Haskell's utter unfitness
for any public position of trust,
or for association with any man
anxious to make an appeal on
moral issue to the American
people, has been abundantly
shown, wholly irrespective of
this action of his in connection
with the Standard Oil interests.
AS an American citizen who
prizes his Americanism and his
clLlL0uSIlp lar dDON0 duy QuOS-
ton of partisanship, l regard it
as a scandal and a disgrace that
Governor Haskell should be
connected with the management
of any national campaign.
Governor Haskell is man who
on every account have named
unworthy of any position in our
public life. No further investiga-
ton of these facts is required.
They are spread or the record
before you, and they were avail
able before Mr.. Haskell was
chosen for his position as treas
urer
Governor Haskell, like so many
other Bull Moosers, is in the Bull
Moose movement from a desire for
revenge. The governor sees in the
movement an opportunity to defeat
Senator Owen.-[Boston Transcript.
