Pittsburgh. June 80. Colonel Roose-
vdlt woke Pittsburgh up 70 the Pro-
gressive state and Senatorial cam
paign this evening. He woke up a
large part Of Pennsylvania. for IN the
thousands of persons who checred HIM
from the railroad station through a
mile Of roped-oG streets there were
hundreds and hundreds OF men and
women-thc Progressive party is for
votes for women Who had come into
town from distant points TO hear him
dig into Senator Boies Pcrrose and
bang the Wilson administration.
That most OF what he said tonight
10 great crowds in Exposition and TX
hbition halls he had said before made
no difference. They used up an alarm
ing amount of energy in showing their
enthusiasm and howlcd the assurance
that he would "come back" in 1916.
Along with Barnes and Penrose he had
planned, when preparing his speech
last week at Oyster Bay, to include
ex-senator Lorimer, Of Illinois. In the
numerous matters that then occupied
his mind he temporarily overlooked
the financial troubles that now beset
Lorimer. He recalled the situation
last night and graciou2ly eliminated
mention of Lorimcr In his talks to-
night.
Crowds Choke Station.
His purpose in coming here was TO
give force to the launching Of the
Progressive campaign in this state.
He gave it. lie turned Penrose up
side down and shook the marbles out
Of his pockets. Every mention he
made of Penrose turned loose the
crowds applause and urged dignhed
smile to the lips of Clifford Pinchot,
Progressive nominee for United States
Senator.
I'm his praise OF William Draper
Lewis, dean of the University of Penn
sylvania Law School and Progressive
candidate for Governor of Pennsyl-
yania, his most telling phrase was: 1T
takes lawyer of the type of Abraham
Lincoln to line up with the Progressive
party"
When the Colonel, accompanied by
William Finn. Progressive leader OF
Pennsylvania. and Alexander 7. Moore,
the Pittsburgh chieftain. who had
ioined him at Altoona at o'clock to-
night, reached this city he came INTO
railroad station choked with persp'ring
admirers. His right arm had already
done q DAVIS work swinging the arms OF
engineers, firemen and other railroad
men along the route, but he had to 20
in for several more sessions or that
form Of political exercise before he
coulo get out into the runway where
the automobiles were waiting.
Though the police had tried hard 10
keen the chute to Liberty av. clear, the
iob was too much for them. Buildings
in which industry had gone to sleep LOT
tho dav were crowded at the windows
with men. who took eighteen out oI
twenty chances of dentng their skulls
on the sidewalk. and the noise that
they and the people on the sldeWaih
started up would have caused serious
concern TO Mrs. Isaac l.. Rice IN tne
campaign against disturbing sounds
had shc been there TO hear 1t.
For a mile along the ColoncIs sched-
p,cd route through the city ropes we're
strunp at the curbing. The majority
of the spcctators were not satished
with getting a view of the Colonel ana
rttcring whoop for him; they chased
the automobiles until the first stop OF
