publican city commit

vigorous speech ad- Lane Warns
moniShed his coll Committee
leagues to prepare for of the Fight

Speaking of the Coloneps declina-
tion of the invitation to speak in
Scranton on Labor day. the Scranton
Tribune Republican
says:
Roosevelt There was no
Declination doubt about the ac-
Discussed ceptance of the in
Vitation according to
| the information re-
ceived in a semi-confidental man
| ner two weeks ago and con-
firmed at that time by a state
ment given out at Harrisgurg by
! Clifford Pinchot, the Washington
party candidate for United States
| Senator There is something pecu-
| liar about the matter which will pro-
| badly come to the surface as soon as
| Mr.. Roosevelt can be communicated
with personally, as he is said to have
| told certain parties that he would
certainly come to this city on Labor
Day and deliver the address to the
union men. When the announcement
was made of his coming there were a
number of Washington party men
who seemed to oppose it as they had
| other plans which the coming of
! Roosevelt at the time indicated would
interfere with. Others in the labor
| movement declared that he was
political and not labor man and
this may have had the effect of MAX
| ing Roosevelt change his mind But
| the declaration that he would not be
here was a distinct surprise and dis
| appointment to many who figured on
making the coming Labor Day the
most remarkable in the history of the
| city because of the presence of such
distinguished guest.
