Chicago, Oct. 17.-Colonel Roose-
velt's physicians issued a very opti-
mistic bulletin on their patients con-
dition after a thorough examination at
8 o'clock this morning.
While they would nos say that the
Colonel was out of danger, they did
say that no signs of blood poisoning
had yet been shown and they were
very hopeful that their patient would
pass the crisis tomorrow without such
a development.
The Colonel was in the highest spir-
it's this morning and laughed and
joked with the nurses, physicians and
Mrs. Roosevelt who passed almost
the entire morning with her husband.
During the early hours no one was
admitted to room except Mrs.Roose-
velt, the doctors and attendants.
One of the attending physicians
stated te the United Press that Colo
nei Roosevelt's restlessness last night
was not an, indication that he had
taken turn for the worse, although,
they would, of course, prefer to have
him sleep soundly, he said that the
broken sleep was probably accounted
for by the fact that the fracture
of the rib annoyed him when he moved
in his sleep. For the same reason the
Colonel was advised this morning to
move as little as possible, and every
attempt was made to keep visitors
away from him and he spent the usu-
nj athletic demonstrations with which
Roosevelt accompanies his conversa'
tions.
DR.. J. B. Murphy, chief surgeon al
Mercy Hospital, said today that to,
morrow would mark the turning point
in the Colonels condition.
Then it will be definitely known il
the patient will be compelled to fight
one or both complications; such
wounds always menace blood poison
ing and pneumonia.
Chicago, Oct. 17.-Colonel Roose
Welt spent the most uncomfortable
night sinie the shooting, and earl!
TODAY he showed the effects Of sleep

The Colonel went to sleep at ll:3'
o'clock. At 4 o'clock this morning n

clans.

the room.
But from that time until he break

LaEoXefe Refuses
10 Reply to Osborn

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Jan. g.
Senator LaFollette, starting on the
last day of his tour OF this state early
today refused 10 make any comment
on the address OF Gov. Osborn at
Lansing yesterday, when Osborn invit-
ed LaFollette and Taft 10 withdraw
from the race for the Republican pres
idential nomination.
He refused also TO comment on the
governors suggestion that the way be
cleared for ex-president Roosevelt or
former Senator A. ]. Beveridge.
LaFollette's friends feel that his
candidacy has been strengthened by
what they charact -ize as the, pecu-
liar attack OF Gov. Osborn.
The manner OF its utterance at q
meeting place for LaFollette and in
LaFollettes absence are the points In
sisted upon by the progressive follow
ing as making the situation favorable
10 the Wisconsin senator.
All political interests OF the state
have been set on edge by the incident.
Many who have not been identified
with the LaFollette campaign have sx-
pressed fears that Osborn's action
may prove a boomerang and ALLEVIATE
both Taft and LaFollette men, split
ting the Republicans. Progressives
and Conservatives, wide open In the
state. LaFollette's managers charge
Osborn with "Swiping" the LaFollette
crowd, band. hall and all, after having
given his speech to the newspapers In
advance.
The Regular" Republicans are
laughing over the coup sprung by the
governor They look upon IL IA trap
deliberately laid and missed by Sen
ator LaFollette only because he took
the wrong train at Saginaw ind was
unable TO keep his appointment at the
capital Expecting that the progress
sive leader would reply to Osborn last
night, the Powers theater here was
jammed to the doors. But LaFollette
did not vary from his usual program
in the slightest degree. He talked OF
the money trust. He did not mention
the governors name, nor did he make
any yelled references. He talked only
OF the progressive policies and was
frequently applauded. LaFollette said
before the meeting that principles not
men, are the issues In the fight he ID
making.
At a. m. today LaFollette left for
Kalamazoo To right he will speak in
Chicago and then travel through ILL
nois until Saturday night.
Arrangements are being made for
a convention of progressive Republi-
cans to be held at Lansing in the near
future
Outside Of political circles there
seems to be a general feeling OF crit
icism over the action Of Gov. Osborn.
LaF'ollette came to the state frankly
as political advocate. II Is felt that
the governor ought TO have withheld
his attack until LaFollette had gone

This explanation of the Rooseveltian

AS against the other report--that

Roosevelt's candidacy-friends of tho

friend that his flag was nailed TO the

him making the race but death.
At the White House Il was said that

every country In the state. Although
many OF the conferees had entered the
gathering with the avowed intention
OF declaring against the presidential

executives name was mentioned only
Indirectly and the organization salts
fed itself with. the adoption OF resolu
tons urging the members 20 work

either state or national convention
who had not proved himself a tried
and true Democrat
The name OF William j. Bryan, her.
aided as "ablest to represent the pro-
gressiye ideals in any party" was re-
ceived with applause and speakers
who famed the Democratic ardor
while awaiting the report OF the reso.
lutions committee made adherence TO

The recent victory of Democratic
