BENNINGTON, VT, Aug. 29.-Colo-
mel Roosevelt started his three days
campaign in Vermont today with a
bristling speech at the ball grounds
here in which he attacked the Demo-
cratic and Republican parties for their
boss rule.
IF you want to govern yourselves
and not have the venal boss such as
the Penrose type-do it. then you will

colonel

Progressive Vote
Light In Primary

DETROIT. Aug. 29.-Amos S Musel-
man. of Grand Rapids, has received the
Republican nomination for governor
according to returns today from the
state wide primary of Tuesday The
race was close, but today's figures show
Muselman leading Fred G. Martndale
by trif1e over 5000 votes, out of a
total of about 10000 cast
The Progressive vote throughout the
state was very light. Figures so far
received show that only a little over
1000 were cast in the entire state. OF
these, about 700 were polled in Detroit
There were no contests between Pro-
gressive candidates. and this, according
to the state leaders Of the new party,
is the reason for the light vote.
A test of the primary law may be
made by the Democrats of Ingham
county. The law requires that a vote
equal to Is per cent OF the vote cast
for the secretary of state at the pre-
ceding election be polled at the pri
maries in order to make the nomination
effective. In many instances the vote,
owing to lack of contests. was under
the required Is per cent.

Crowded Meeting
Everywhere, Says Garfield.

I'VE have had crowded meetings ev-

said.
The Bull Moose leader said he eX-
pected DR.. Frazer Metzger, Progressive
candidate for governor, to poll 10000
votes at the election next Tuesday.
That means quoted Garfield, that
the election for governor will go into

that Roosevelt will carry the state in
November
Roosevelt reached North Bennington
at $50 o'clock this morning by train
and drove here by automobile. At sta
tions along the way crowds yelled for
him, but it was too early for the colo
mel to be up. He was Checred by i'm
mense throngs on the streets here.
"Hooray for the big Bull Moose was
the cry that filled the air.
The colonel will then spend Sunday
at Sycamore Hill, when he will make
public his letter to Senator Clapp.
chairman of the senate sub committee
which is investigating expenditures in
the 1909 and 1908 campaigns. In his
letter Roosevelt viii answer the testi-
mony of Senator Penrose and John D.
Archbold, denying that he knew of
immense contributions which the
Standard Oil Company was making to
his cause.
The colonel said he would tell in his
letter the same story he would have
told had he gone on the witness stand.
Colonel Roosevelt in going into Yer
mont is invading hostile state. The
third term candidate will bring into az
ton his heaviest guns in an endeavor
