ROOSEVELT IN COLORADO.

Pueblo, Colo, Oct. For the first
time in this campaign Franklin ID. Roose-
Welt, Democratic ioe-presidential candi-
date, invited questions from his audience
here last night after be had finished his
prepared address. One man asked hun
why President Wilson didn't advise the
Senate" on the peace treaty negotiations,
and he replied that President Wilson did.
Asked what he would have done, If
President, he said: "To be perfectly
frank, would have advised more An
other questioner asked him why the ad-
minstration did not send Colonel Theo-
dore Roosevelt abroad at the head Of a
division.
II am personally sorry that he didn Z
go because believe he would have exerted
a great moral force" he replied, but IN
times Of war on questions of military
policy the opinions of civilians must be
subordinated to those Of trained officers in
the regular military establishment and
the latter advised against it because Colo
mel Roosevelt's military experience was
limited TO his connection with one regl-
ment in a war twenty years ago.

PAID TO GO HEAR HARDING.
"Pilgrimages" TO Porch, Financed From
Slush Fund Is Charge.

Chicago, Oct = Representative jaime
V. McClintic. Oklahoma chairman os
the Western Speakers Bureau Of the Demi
ocratie National Committee. issued 4
statement yesterday charging that pill
grimages of some Republicans to the
Harding front porch al Marion, o., are
st the expense of the Republican Ma
tional Committee.
NcClintic's accusation was based on
the text of a registered letter, alleged
to have been sent out by the Republican
National Committee and signed by 8
regional director therof, offering to 'pay
all expenses incurred by YOU in going to
and from the meeting to be held at
Marion"
''rhe Republican press at one time
gave the news To the American people
that 80 cars loaded with people attended
one of these meetings in one day" said
McClintIc's statement When it is taken
into consideration that the streams of
gold that are pouring into their Golfers
are being used in part for this purpose,
IL r no wonder that the people are be-
coming disgIsted with the misuse of
money in political battles.
'The hand-picked favored few who are
wiling TO accept the gratuIties from the
Republican party will continue to join
pil9rimages to hear a read speech and
the American. people will marvel at the
bouRht-and paid for enthuslasm-no
knowing that their contributions for an
honest election are being expended In
thus manner.

and started to run with his victim stag
gering in pursuit. A soldier giving the
name of McGaughey, and John and James

him over to Police Officer MoGranary.
II is suspected that robbery was the
motive for the assault. .butHuggins claimed

FIRE PREVENTION.
Governor Townsend Hopes the Entire
State Will Cooperate In the Matter.


State Will Cooperate In the Matter.
Governor Townsend heartily indorses
the fire prevention campaign. Every
one, who reads and thinks" he said, in
discussing the matter at Dover today,
knows the tremendous loss and waste
incident to prcventable fires. To so keep
our manufacturing plants and homes as to
reduce to the minimum the danger Of
fires requires nothing more than ordinary
business precaution. Insurance precau-
tion and fire company aids do not begin
To give the safety ms would little clean
ing up.
Fire Prevention Days by Presidential
proclamation are most cosnncndablc but
If every store plant and home would set
aside an hour week, the result would be
decided net gain over the annual pro-
cedure. In fact, every well regulated
establishment today, according To mod
ern methods and efficiency, has no need for
the fire prevention day They are, in
TACT, reflection ON ordinary common
sense. But carelessness and neglect by
individuals and communities, seem tn
merit this periodic campaign. II is hoped
that towns, as well as homes, will heed
this call and this help in this conservation"
