Former President Filled For
Straight Americanism
SPEECH AT SAINT LOUIS
Theodore Roosevelt Talked With
Considerable vigor Before
Large Audience
UNITED Press Dispatca.l

st. Louis, Mo-, May 31-Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt is here. He has
arrived in the city containing the
second largest percentage of German
population of any of the large cities
of the country. Colonel Roosevelt is
expected today to define the term,
"hyphenated Americanism." In tell
ing what he considers to be the duty
of an American citizen, he will leave
the hyphen out.
The colonel is pleased at the mag
nificent reception given to him yes
terday in Kansas City. IT was a
sweltering hot day. Yet the colonel
made three speeches.
The colonel was much amused
when he learned of the incident of
knife being thrown at the carriage
in which he rode yesterday. He did
not know about the incident until
three hours later, when his private
secretary, Mr.. McGrath told him.
The knife hit Mr., McGrath on the
arm. The longest blade in it ex-
tended two and a half inches. 1t
was just common pocket knife.
Forgot Other Issues.
At Kansas City the colonel had
intended to speak not only on mill
tary preparedness, but also on the
tariff and several other national is
sues, and he had a speech written
out accordingly But when he got to
talking about preparedness in his
main speech, he said so much about
that that the other issues were large
ly side stepped Today at st. Louis the
colonel will probably say much that
he failed to say at Kansas City.
f lends of the colonel told him
II I the greeting he received at Kan
IS City constituted a greater ova-
ton than President Wilson received,
when he recently visited this city.
The colonel says he is convinced
that the middle west and west are
as much aroused to the necessity
of this nation getting ready to pro-
tect itself against foreign aggression
as is the east.
At five O'Clock this afternoon Mr.
Roosevelt will depart for New York
A citizens committee met the former
president at the Union station, and
escorted him to the Planters hotel
where a breakfast was held. Ire
mendous cheering from crowd
greeted Mr.. Roosevelt at the station
The police vainly tried to preserve
a passageway from the train to the
gate, but the crowd gathered about
Colonel Roosevelt, and he went
through in a football rush.
The ColonePs Address.
n
dent Theodore Roosevelt addressed an
immense throng in this city today.
He said:

briefly on the subject of Americanism.

entirely for the twel11n annual con-
vention of the Minnesota State Elk's
Association to be held here on June

brick buildings, three per cent
on frame buildings, and three
per cent on the contents of both
kinds of buildings.
The new classification does
not affect the insurance rates on
dwellings,. churches or school
buildings, or their contents.
The recommendations of the
engineer all had to do with pre-
cautions against fire and the i'm
provement of the facilities for
fighting fire. If the recommen-
dations not yet carried out are
complied with, it is probable that
the city will have another pro-
motion, being placed in the third
class.
Mankato will go into the three
and-a-half class tomorrow, June
first.

about to have a promotion in the
classification of cities as to fire

by Herbert l. Howe OF Winona,

fourth class, but it is the eX-
pectation of the company to
change it to the three -and-a-

because the city has carried out
some of the recommendations
