Cleveland. Ohio, November 2.-welcom-
ed by $1,000 and cheered almost five min
utes. Theodore Roosevelt took President
Wilson's Buffalo address as hts text and
ripped into the Democratic administration
In his usual hammer-and-tong style here
tonight
Upon his arrival. he was greeted by
5000 at the station and escorted by q
torchlight procession through streets
tammed with people to the Central Ar
mory.
Roosevelt referred causticalIy to secre-
tary Of War Bakers comparison of
Washington's soldiers with Villa bandits.
In referring to President Wilson. Roose-
welt said:
Il want to register my protest against
hismisuse of the militia and the diplo-
matte service for partisan advantage.
II the President says We are in ignorance
of our foreign relations he is bound to
enlighten US. II he does not tell us now
there must be some reason for il.
He says: We are not afraid TO fight
for something as big as an American
ideal What does that mean? Does II
mean he wouldn't fight for a mud baby ?
There were 1o3 babies on the Lusitania.
Is there anything bigger in American
ideals?
He sent Boyd and Adair into Mexico
and left them there. He wouldn't back
them up What does Mr.. Wilson mean by
bigger than American ideals? What can
be bigger than protecting men and women
born under the American flag or natural
lied under it"

Gorilla and another powerful line on
the Carso east OF Vallen, but have taken
i.I3O prisoners. six cannon. many machine
guns. and vast quantities of war material.
The new offensive was launched yester-
day. The first official words OF II reach

Austrian lines were penetrated at sew
eral points. notably south of the Oppa-
chlasella lla-Castagnavizza road where the
Italian gains were completely held. de-
spite the most violent counter-attacks.

DELAYS VERDICT
ON MARINA CASE

Secretary Lansing announced yes
terday that the State Department.
decision in the Marina case would not
be reached before November Z. He
left Washington last night for his
home at watertown. N. z. to remain
until after the election.
The departments decision will be
determined by three facts now under
investigation:
!. whether the ship was torpedoed
without warning and without provi-
sion being made for the safety of pas
sengers and crew II the Marina was Q
peaceable merchantman.
Q. whether the Marina was armed
extensively.
3 Whether she had previously
been in admiralty service. which and
ing would create presumption
against her peaceable character.
Secretary Lansing admitted that II
is a mooted question whether Ger
many's promise to the United States
relating to submarine warfare applied
to vessels carrying guns.
The United States holds that mer-
chant vessels have the right to arm
for defense, but no conclusion regard
ing the subject ever was reached with
Germany, who upholds a different
policy.
The question was raised in the
Lusitania case. but dropped when II
was proved that the Lusitania carried

WILSON CLOSES
CAMPAIGN WORK
Addresses Great Throng in
Madison Square Garden.

(By the International News Serviee.)
New York, Nov. a-President Wilson
was told by a mighty crowd OF Demo
crats which filled every available space
In and about Madison Square Garden To-
night that he was certain of reelection
on November I.
Mr.. Wilson arrived at the Twenty-sev-
enth street entrance Of the Madison
Square Garden Amphitheater at . o'clock.
II took the police seven minutes to fores
= passage way through the throng.
In perfect rhythm the audience began
To chant -Four, four. four years more
four, four, four years more We want VIII
sonr' This demonstration lasted for flf-
teen minutes before Mr.. Wilson raised his
hands for quiet. The crowd started gain.
but in eight minutes more a hush fell
over the audience.
Mr.. Wilson said that the United
States was face to face with one of
the most serious turning points in the
history of the country.
The campaign may be said to be
practically at an end" he said, but
we should give serious thought to
that a small body of men are seeking
to control the business development
of the country"
Touching briefly on foreign rela-
tions. Mr.. Wilson charged:
Some men have even sought to dis
credit our own government in the
face OF most delicate foreign situa-
tions. They have sought to shame
the country for personal or political
advantage"
The eight-hour law and many other
fnnfrs ayy aiarnSlad hp he
dent during the campaign were mem
TONED briefly.
Speaks at Cooper Union.
In concluding his address. Mr.. Wilson
said with dramatic emphasis:
THE forces of the nation are gather
ing from a demonstration of the power
of public opinion on November :. in a
way the world has never seen before"
The Madison Square Garden speech was
the second of the day. At a luncheon
rendered by the Business Mems League
in the Waldorf. more than 1000 persons
heard Mr. Wilson expound the issues
upon which he had based his campaign.
The third speech was made at Cooper
Union. after 10 o'clock tonight
Confusion and some amusement were
caused by a mistake in seating arrange
rnents at the Presidents table during the
noon luncheon. Secretary of the Treas
ury William G. McAdoo was assigned to
place at the right Of William F. Nc
Combs, Senatorial candidate in New
York. Mr.. McCombs and Mr.. McAdoo
were very active in electing Mr.. Wilson
four years ago. but since that time, a
story goes. their friendship has not been
of the sort that placed them together at
public functions.
When the two gentlemen observed the
mistake that had been made. they turned
and bowed formally. They did not shake
hands.
