SLIDING BACK IN NEVADA

Roosevelt Has Reached His Limit and Is Rapidly Receding. Reno, Nev., Sept. 26.—The decline of the Roosevelt movement, noticeable throughout the country, Is very apparent in Nevada. “The interest in the Bull Moose movement is crystallized in Roosevelt,” says the Evening Gazette, “and that interest is waning." The Gazette further states that Roosevelt’s disappointing speech in this state, the fact that he is receiving funds from George W. Perkins and is being supported only by cast-off politicians, are drag-stones about his neck. The Gazette sums up the situation In Nevada as follows: "Roosevelt has reached the limit of his power and is sliding back rapidly.”
