Wear Flashy Clothes.

CHICAGO, Feb. 10. - Keith Edward
Dalrymple wore flashy clothing, and
for this reason was taken TO the po-

Had it not been for this, Dalrymple
would not have known that he was
heir to 100000 and that the police
of the country had been on the lookout
for him for four years TO tell him so.
The bureau of Identification gave up
nothing of a damaging character with
reference to the young mamie is %
years old-but it did develop an old
circular seeking him.
Young Dalrymple ran away from his
home at Sloan Springs, Ark, in 1908.
His father prospered in the oil business
and moved to Port Allegheny, Pa,
where he died four years ago.
After leaving home, young Dalrym-
pie went to New York, where he worked

BOOMING ROOSEVELT
FOR THE PRESIDENCY
sachusetts Politicians Favor
His Nomination.

WASHINGTON, Feb. u. - Colonel
Roosevelt s campaign for the Repubi-
can nomination was launched yesterday
afternoon and in few days a nation
wide organization of press agents and
political workers is expected to at
tempt to crystalline the movement
The colonel's s sponsors who started
the boom are Representative A. P.
Gardner, Charles Sumner Bird, Grafton
D. Cushing and Robert NJ. Washburn,
candidates for delegates at large from
Here is their program:
We are candidates for delegates
at large from Massachusetts to the
Republican National convention.
We are tired of vague state
ments and beating around the bush.
We propose to go straight to the
point and give every one a chance
to know for what he is voting in
the primaries.
We don t want TO 90 unpledged.
We don t want a convention set
up for dark horses.
We want Roosevelt for president.
Cushing is locked upon as Pro
gressive Republican and is supposed tC
have some strength in the state organi
zation. He served as speaker of the
NhdSSdCHusSIlS lSelsldluTe anu dS llcu
tenant governor of the state. Gov
Mccall defeated him by 5000 votes, In
the Republican primary for the guber
material nomination. He was a Taft
delegate of the 1912 convention.
Bird is a Progressive who polled 125,
600 votes for governor in 1912.
Representative Gardner led the fght
for Taft in Massachusetts in 1912 anc
severely criticised Roosevelt s bolt. Ii
1912 he was one of the candidates fol
governor and polled 1900 less vote
than Bird. Credit is given to him il
many quarters for having started tia
agitation for preparedness.
Washburn was a member of the Mas
sachusetts state legislature for severa
terms.
The combination of Progressives an,
! stand-pat Republicans named in the an
nouncement is expected to act as an ae
celerator in getting together the variou
wings of the Republican party in al
attempt to make a solid fight benin,
Roosevelt.
