Burlington, VL, Aug. 30.—1 n a whirl over the Green mountains Colonel Roosevelt put under way his threedays" campaign to win Vermont at the state election next Tuesday. During an eleven-Jjour automobile drive, starting out from Bennington, the ex-president at half a dozen towns thundered against boss rule, pounded at Senator Penrose and John D. Archbold for their confession of Standard OU manipulation of statesmen and vigorously enunciated the issues of the Progressive fight. Before a packed house at the theater here Colonel Roosevelt insisted that the third party is entitled to the support of Republicans and Democrats alike who want to see the alliance of government and the Standard Oil broken. The ex-president, who had brought along Rev. Frazer Metzger, Progressive candidate for governor, urged that the Progressive party be put into power in Vermont. The whole country is waiting to see what Vermont does,” cried Roosevelt eagerly. “if you stand with the Progressives you will show that Vermont is tired of the domination of the privileged interests in our national life.”
