(Uhiteu Iress starr correspondent
Phoenix, Ariz., Oct. 21.-It was hard
for Colonel Roosevelt to remember what
he came out here for today. He made
a 2,l00 mile jump from Louisville with
only few stops in between, to utter
his most bitter denunciation of Presid.
ent Wilson'S Mexican policy and urge
the election Of Charles Evans Hughes,
but wherever he turned he found old
scenes and old faces that tended to take
his mind off his job.
The Colonel was met here by a big
committee composed of members of the
G.. A. r., Spanish war veterans and Con
federate veterans, headed by Dwight b.
Heard, an old personal friend, and Jack
Greenway, major in the Rough Riders,
who before that was Yale's famous
backstop who caught the curves of
"Dutch" Carter, brother-in-law of Hu.
ghes.
There were the usual bands and day
light bombs to greet Roosevelt He
launched at Heads house, with Jack
Greenway, and then spoke at go this
afternoon. The colonel was to be guest
of honor at dinner at the Head home
tonight when several friends of ranch
ing days were expected in. Roosevelt
had been urged not to stop today until
he reached Phoenix, but he forced Regit
Post, in charge of his tour, to arrange
stop at Prescott, home Of Bucky o.
Neill. Bucky died in the colonel's 5 arm,
half way up San Juan Hill and the colo
mel, although the stop had to be made
at $3.50 ordered Post to wire ahead thai
he would make short speech.
