Roosevelt Answered Yell Of
Republican Sympathizer.
Too Much Prosperity in One
Party, Not Enough in Other.

East st. Louis, H., Sept. 26.-Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt finished his lll1-
nois campaign in behalf OF the Fro
gressive ticket here last night by ad-
dressing a crowd that packed the larg-
est hall in the city. 1t was nearly $3.50
when Roosevelt began to speak and
after his speech here he hurried in an
automobile to st. Louis. Mo-, where he
delivered another speech.
Il don't care a rap for the support
Of any man for me personally" he said,
unless he stands for the principles l
represent. I am in this contest because
am for these principles. The only
Many congressman of the old par
way any. man can support me Is by
supporting the Progressive ticket.
ITO vote for either the Democratic
or Republican candidates for congress
means that you are giving your support
to the old Democratic and Republican
machines, that you are giving your sup
port to PenrOse, Barnes, Murphy ana
Sullivan and-I forget the name of the
stool pigeon running on the Republican
ticket against Sullivan-oh, yes. re-
member. Sherman.
ITO vote for Robins for senator is the
only way to defeat Sullivan and the
Democratic ring in Illinois.
1.-The old party men ask us to be loyal
to the parties Of Lincoln and of JEFF
fc-son. They mean the parties of Lor-
inner and Sullivan"
Roosevelt denounced the Republican
candidate for congress at large, Mr..
Chipperfield, because he voted for Lor-
inner for senator. He added:
'Tt speaks volumes for the shOrtness
of the memory of the people that a
man who voted for Lorimer should ven
ture to run on any ticket"

While Roosevelt was speaking some
one in the gallery called out: "Hur-
rah for the G. o. p"
You are just the kind of man the
machine leaders use," said Roosevelt,
looking toward the gallery. The crowd
began to yell that the man be put out.
'eWhat about New York;" asked the
I'm New York you have Barnes"
said Mr.. Roosevelt. The crowd by this
time was becoming demonstrative.
LET him talk" said Mr.. Roosevelt.
Ellis question was not very fntelligi-
BILE, but it probably was Ineligible
as he could make it.
Roosevelt then gave the interruptor
a severe tongue flashing, and as he fin
ished he turned to the men on the
platform and caid:
''If any one wants to tackle the bull
moose, he must take the consequences.
The colonel urged the men in the au-
01enCe TO vote TOT the enITdnCn1Sement
OF women in Missouri; and to support
the entire state Progressive ticket.
1.-THE policy of the Republican
party" he said, els such as to make
some men prosper too much. The
policy of the Democratic party is such
as to make no man prosper enough.
The Progressive party stands intelli-
gently for prosperity, but it proposes
to pass along that prosperity.
ties are exceedingly nOn-partfsan and
even act together in all they do
against the people. They then appeal
to the partisan spirit of the people to
defend and re-elect them. I ask the
people without regard to party to
combine against such congressman"
