COLONEL WOULD AVOID
USE Of PERSONALITIES
Declares He Prefers Only to
Explain and Advocate Pro-
gressive Principles.

CROOKSTON. Mimi, September g.
On his way to North Dakota Col
Roosevelt passed through here early
today. He was to spend the day in
North Dakota. making his principal
speech at Fargo before the state pro-
gressive convention. Col Roosevelt
was due in Grand Forks at o'clock
to remain there for an hour Fargo
onel planned to spend the afternoon
there This evening he will make a
brief speech in Jamestown.
From North Dakota Col. Roosevelt
will go to Montana. where he will make
five speeches tomorrow.
The colonel said today he did not de-
campaign and that although in speeches
in Minnesota and Iowa he had express
ed the opinion that Woodrow Wilson
was receiving the support of reac-
tionaries and bosses" he wished to
make the burden of his campaign
speeches an explanation and advocacy
of progressive principles.
Shakes Fist at Eberhart.
ST. PAUL, Mimi. September g.
While Gov. Eberhart, the standpat
candidate for the gubernatorial nomi-
nation in Minnesota. sat squirming in
his seat. Col Roosevelt let loose yes
terday burning attack upon him for
daring to support Taft's stolen" nom-
ination. The governor was guest at
the luncheon Of the Minnesota pro-
gressives at the West Hotel in Mime
apolis. where the colonel was billed to
speak. He went to the luncheon only
after being persuaded that the chief
executive ought to pay courtesy to the
former President Eberhart looked
like a ghost at the feast. Not once
did he smile.
Roosevelt wasted no time in getting
after the governor, once he started.
Looking in Eberhart's Way-the colo
mel and governor being separated only
by the toastmaster-the colonel, with
biting sarcasm, remarked that he could
not understand how certain republi-
cans could hope to maintain a shred
of decency by supporting the nominee
Of the stolen goods convention" at
Chicago.
ANY man who fails to condemn it Is
unworthy Of public confidence" vo-
ciferated the colonel.
All eyes turned upon Eberhart, who
sat looking hard into the air. Roose-
welt shook his fist, almost under the
governors nose, saying:
Every man knows Mr.. Tafts nomt-
nation was handed him by deceit. NO
man of honor could countenance IT..
Later the governor was asked II he
would continue to support Mr.. Taft.
II am a regular republican" he re-
piled.
