Roosevelt Is Welcomed at Providence With All the Enthusiasm of the West, Last Evening.

VAST CROWD HEARD COLONEL'S SPEECH Nominee Says the New Party Springs from the Hearts of the People and It Is Certain to Succeed. PROVIDENCE, R. I ,.Aug. 17. With cheering and songs and prayer the Progressive party's national campaign was opened here last night. Theodore Roosevelt came to Rhode Island, which he described as a boss ridden state, to open the campaign, and received a welcome which, as he put it, would have done credit to Kansas. When Col. Roosevelt reached Providence at 5 o'clock he found several thousand persons massed in the square before the railroad station. The crowd blocked the way and cheered him until he stood up in his automobile and made a speech. He was halted a second time in front of the City hall and made another address. Colonel Beats Time at Band Plays. Three hours later Col. Roosevelt stood on the stage at Infantry hall, laughing and waving his hands at the crowd which was wedged into the big vbuilding. For several minutes the people cheered. The band played pat riotic airs and the colonel beat time. Outside the building were hundreds unable to get in. When the din finally died away Col. Roosevelt stepped to the front of the stage and looked down at his audience. "I was told six months ago," he said, "that there was not a Progressive in Rhode Island. I think it is pretty plain that statement is erroneous. Says Movement WlTTGfrOn: A "Right at the outset I wish to answer a question that has been put to me two or three times since I reached Rhode Island. Men have asked me if this movement is going to go on or if it is just a movement which is nevted with me. This movement is going cn just as sure as fate. This is a real movement, springing from the needs and hearts of the people of the United States. "The only part that I have had in it is that perhaps I have brought it on two or three years earlier than it would have come anyhow. The man is blind who does not see that our people are tired of having other people govern them. Our people were making up their minds that there must be a new party which should deal with the live issues instead of dead ones." Rhode Island Sufferer from Bosses. Taking up his set speech Col. Roosevelt spoke as follows: "I take peculiar pleasure in making my first speech as nominee of the Progressive party here in Rhode Island. You have suffered, as in my own state of New York we have suffered, from boss politics in the most extreme form of development. "The Progressive movement is aimed at the rotten machines, the rotten boss systems of both parties. Only by supporting the Progressive party can you strike any effective blow against boss rule and machine and ring politics in the United States. "The success of .the Democratic national ticket means enthroning in power one set of bosses, the success of the Republican national ticket means enthroning in power the other set of bosses. The effort at this time to re buke one set of bosses by voting for the candidate of the other set of bosses is from its very nature bound to result in mere futility. Differences of Attorneys. "The differences between the men who really dominate the two parties are merely the differences between great corporation attorneys who, for the moment, represent different corporations, but who come together instantly against any movement which is meant to establish the people as masters over both. "To try to punish one set of defenders of political and industrial privilege by occasionally voting for the nominee of the other set is to play into the hands of both. "We Progressives stand against both. We propose to drive them both from power for all time, and to substitute for their power the real and genuine rule of the people. "There is peculiar need of leadership for this fight In New England. It has been a matter of concern to me to see so many of those here In New England who .should be leaders In the new movement turn cold heartedly from it. I believe that half of the opposition to our course In New England Is due to sheer, plain ignorance, halt of the remainder to hard shelled prejudice, and the other half of 'the remainder to craven fear of what is new, "One of our great troubles here in New England, as elsewhere, is that the

General Sentiment Was for a Full County Ticket. Every Meeting Yesterday Was Well Attended.

REYNOLDS STATUS BEING QUESTIONED Voters in Dark Whether He Is Progressive or Republican. Makes Conflicting Statements. Six ward and sve township meetings were held by the Progressives yesterday afternoon and last evening for the purpose of electing members of the county central committee. Five townships, Wayne, New Garden, Green, Dalton and Jefferson, are holding meetings for the same purpose this afternoon and by this evening the personnel of the central committee will be completed. Next Tuesday the full committee will hold a meeting in Richmond, elect officers, decide whether a Progressive county ticket will be placed in the field and transact other important business. At the various meetings held yesterday afternoon and evening, the general sentiment favored a full slate of nominees for county offices. The First ward took no action on the master. In the Second a resolution favoring a full county ticket was lost by the narrow margin of one vote. In every instance the plan of nominating a legislative and congressional ticket was Indorsed. Reynolds Qusstioned. The position of Lee Reynolds, Republican candidate for state representative was questioned in the meeting of the Fifth ward. Conflicting statements made by the candidate left Progressives in that ward undecided whether he should be classed a regu lar Republican and denied the support of the Progressive 'movement, 6 whether he, in reality, stands by the principles espoused by the followers of Colonel Roosevelt. Arthur Brooks last evening inform ed voters of the Fifth ward that Rey

con-lig had told him he was an advo-

cate of President Taft. One of the voters, a former candi date for office in the county administration, declared that Reynolds had told him he was an ardent Progressive and would be found in the ranks of those fighting for political reform, while Howard Brooks declared he could not determine whether Reynolds was Progressive or Republican after a conversation with the candidate. It was said last evening that if Reynolds does not declare himself squarely in favor of Progressive principles, and show by deed that he is a worker for the cause, a determined light will be against his candidacy as representative to the state legislature. Crystalizsd Sentiment. The ward and township meetings held Friday and today crystalized the political sentiment of the Progressives into an organization that its leaders declare will be able to cope successfully with the issues of the campaign. Voters in all the wards responded largely to the call and displayed an earnestness of purpose that was gratifying to the leaders who are furthering Roosevelt's cause in Richmond. The First ward passed no resolutions regarding its sentiment on the matter of placing candidates in the field. The attendance was good. The following were elected precenct com mitteemen: Charles Potter, S. W. Draper, Clark Thomas and Henry Scherb. In the Second ward a resolution to put a full county ticket in the field was lost by one vote. The precinct committeemen are Robert Benton, William Bloom, Ed Marlatt and L. M. White. Oppose County Ticket. A resolution was passed in the Third favoring a legislative and congressional plate, but opposing the drafting of a county slate. The Third will be represented on the county central committee by the following: C. G. Sherer, Ed Norris, Elmer Hall and Harmon Noss. The Fourth favored a full county ticket and elected the following precinct committeemen: Harry Hoover, Will Pickett, Cash Beall, Will Watson and Samuel McDivitt.

TAX RAISE IS DUE

TO NEW ROAD ACT Spring Grove, Wayne Township and Richmond Taxpayers Hit Hard. The taxes in the city of Richmond. Spring Grove and that part of Wayne township outside of Richmond, and Spring Grove, will be increased ap proximately sixteen cents on the hun dred dollars in order that the par ments on the bond issues for the im provement of the roads in Wayne township, under the three mile gravel road law may be met. This increase will effect the taxes for the present year. The law provides that the im provements of the roads shall be paid by bond issues, up to 4 per cent of the assessed valuation of the taxable property in the township. Last year contracts were let by the county commissioners for the improve ment of the National Road, west, at a cost ol $55,000. The improvement of South L street was contracted for $16,000. These two Improvements increased the taxes six cents on the hundred dollars in Richmond, while in Wayne township and Spring Grove the amount was increased one cent. Complying with the law County Auditor Bowman has paid $1,668 on the bonds for the National Road improvement end $5,600 on South L street. During the past - several months , a contract for the Improvement of the Liberty Pike has been awarded by the county . commissioners at a cost of $46,000 and also for Easthaven Ave., at a cost of $18,000. This makes the total Indebtedness of the township on the recent road improvements, $128,832.00. In securing the valuation of property in the township on which the levy is to be made it is shown that Richmond has taxable property to the value of $14,805,280, not including the mortgage exemptions. Spring Grove has $162,520, without mortgage exemptions, and Wayne township has $2,233, 340, not including mortgage exemptions, which makes a total of $17,201,140. The contract for the RichmondNewport road has been awarded at the cost of $30,000, but this will not be Included on the taxes of this year, as it will be impossible to issue the required bonds in time to include them on this year's levy. It is thought that the tax limit will be reached by next year when the petitions for the improvements of the other roads in the county have been presented and accepted. The National Road, East, the Boston pike, the North Twelfth street road and others are being considered. BUTCHERSJO APPEAL To Congress to Prohibit the Slaughter of Calves.
