COLONEL NOT SET BACK BY

BIG MEETING

Begins Work Today a Very Happy Man Over Wonder ful Ovation He Received in New York. jBURNS A VOLUNTEER TO PREVENT FRAUDS ?W. T. Jerome, Opposed to Roosevelt, Also Volunteers .to Safeguard the Interests of Moose. (National News Association) OYSTER BAY, Oct. 31. "It was Wonderful. I don't know that I ever ad dressed a more extraordinary gather This was Col. Roosevelt's comment lat Sagamore Hill today as he looked fcack upon the meelng last night at iMadiBon Square Garden, New York. The former president was immensely pleased over the 45 minutes demon stration given him by the huge crowd "It was a serious throng; a dead earnest one," remarked Col. Roose velt. "They were not there to make a wild hurrah; they meant to show their earnestness in the cause. I was deeply Impressed at the manner in which they followed by speech. They were .responsive and showed that they rea lized the importance of the purpdse of our fight." The colonel experienced no ill effects from his trip to New York. He was up by 8 o'clock feeling brisk and vigorous. After a hearty breakfast he went to his study and by 10:30 was dictating to his stenographer. When seen by the newspaper correspondents the colonel was In the midst of the cpeech he . is going to deliver tomorrow night at the Progressive state rally at Madison Square garden. "They want me to say a few words about the " state ticket," explained "I'm going to talk, but not as long as I did last night.", To Prevent Frauds. ! CoL. Roosevelt made .it known today that William Travera Jerome and Detective Burns had insisted on working without remuneration for the Progressive partyto prevent fraud at the election in New York. "While I knew that Burns was my supporter I also knew that Mr. Jerome was not," said the colonel. "For that

very reason I was glad to' join them j that the address of Lamb at Camtogether in an effort to" guarantee an j bridge City early this week has stimuhonest election. I expressed to both lated interest in his appearance here.

that all I wished was to secure the right of every qualified voter to cast his vote as he wished, and to put a stop to every species of fraud without the slightest regard as to who is committing it or the form it takes. No matter what the outcome of the election we intend to' follow up every fraud and If it is humanly possible, to put every man engaged in it behind the bars. I do not wish one vote to which I am not entitled in law and morals. On the other hand I do not intend, if it Is possible to prevent it, that either of my opponents shall receive any votes to which in a similar fashion they are not entitled. I care not a rap in whose interests the fraud is perpetuated and I am fully as. eager to have it punished if it is for me as against me." A GREAT OVATION. NEW YORK, Oct." 31. Showing no physical evidence of tbe shock of his attempted assassination in Milwaukee, Oct. 14. Col. Theodore Roosevelt last night faced for an hour and twenty minutes a Progressive political rally which gave many thousands of his fellow New Yorkers a chance to accord blm an uproarious welcome. For forty-two minutes after his entrance into crowded Madison Square Garden Col. Roosevelt - stood at the edge of the high-perched speakers' platform unable to make himself heard above the din of -cheers, songs and band music. His gestures to the crowd for silence served only to intensify the noises and when, after twenty minutes of cheering. Col. Roosevelt made a determined effort to begin his speech, the immense audience was swung off into another period of cheering by the beginning of the chant: "We Want Teddy!" "We Want Teddy!" Remains Standing. Col. Roosevelt refused to sit down or to leave the rail that edged the flimsy platform. Senator Dixon and Governor Johnson urged him to be iseated. but he maintained his standing position throughout the entire demonstration and when opportunity finally came for him to begin, his speech he began it with a request to the police to maintain order. . 6EASON RESPONSIBLE FOR MANY DEATHS This Is a season of the year when fbUL people are quite apt to die of old ace, according to Health Officer Dr. ;T.

Lamb, of Terre Haute, will address the meeting. His appearance here follows . the inability of -Finly Gray, Democratic nominee for congress, to fill an engagement in this city. Benjamin B. Johnson today said "Mr." Lamb is widely known as an orator," said Mr. Johnson. "More than thirty years ago he was elected to congress, being the . youngest member of that session. He is intensely interested in politics, and his address will be a forceful presentation of Democratic state and national issues." The Wilson-Marshall celebration for next Saturday has been called off by the Democratic county central committee. The communication which Governor Wilson has addressed to Democratic voters will be read in the Jefferson club rooms at an informal gathering. SHOPMEN DID NOT LIKE HIS TALK The address delivered by John C. Chaney, of Sullivan. Indiana, before a crowd of worklngmen at the American Seeding Machine company at noon yesterday was not received with any high degree of enthusiasm, but on the contrary jeers and hisses greeted the speaker's ears when mention was made of the so-called promises which the Republican party platform holds out to the worklngmen. Little by little the Republican speaker's crowd dwindled "Until there were but few left when he concluded his talk. POLICE NAB MARTIN Hold Him on Embezzlement Charge in Circuit Court. Robert Martin was arrested last night upon his return from Toronto, Canada, and is held on a charge preferred against him in circuit court by the A. L. Singer company, of Chicago, of embezzling $500. Martin was in the tailoring business on North Sixth street and is indebted to the company for f 500. He went out of business five weeks ago and left with his wife for Winnipeg, Canada. From there they went to Toronto. When patrol driver Roy Wenger was taking him to the cell Martin made a dash for liberty. He ran through the court yard and north in the alley, but was easily overtaken. Martin says he can pay the money he owes the company and will do so if his partner A. Osterole pays his share. Osterole alleges that he does not owe the money, and is not party in Martin's debts. Martin came to this city two years ago from Indianapolis and was employed for some time at a JUpcal restaurant.

Saloon Owners,

(EDITORIAL) The action of Richmond saloon owners In supporting the Democratic candidates for the legislature and a Republican candidate for county commissoner, is about as asinine an exhibition of bi-partisaniam as Wayne county has been treated to these many years. The Democrat legislature that passes the laws governing the liquor industry and tbe Republican commissioners who issue the licenses under these laws are to be the beneficiaries of their united support. The "saloon vote" is to be cast against the Progressives because they stand for allowing the whole liquor question to be settled outside of politics through the agency of the initiative and referendum. For this one phase of the campaign all the other wise and good measures that the Progressive party stands for in this state are to be sacrificed. The initiative, referendum and recall boss destroyers direct primaries, a commission to regulate public service corporations, the wiping out of "watered" stocks, free school books, workmen's compensation and the minimum wage law for women, all these must be sacrificed if the saloon owners can have their way. There are many men who would never vote to abolish the liquor business as long as it Is run in a well regulated manner. Many of these men will vote the Progressive ticket this fall. Most of these men will vote to put the saloon business out of existence if they find that the saloon owners persist in working for the candidates of parties that represent the reactionary influences that are against the social and Industrial reforms the Progressives are working for. The saloon owners must reaUxe that the people will no longer permit them to legislate for our homes as well as for their business. We became tired pf that some years ago and delivered at that time a well deserved rebuke. The present line of action lays the saloon owners open for another and stronger rebuke. The Palladium will not fall to help bring on this rebuke unless the saloon owners bow to the will of the people and keep tbelr hands off. If they wish to place themselves in the light of being out after a special privilege then they will have to make the best of the consequent oblivion that is drawing steadily nearer for those who thus take unfair advantage of their fellowmen.

INSTRUCITOHS FOR ALL PROGRESSIVES A Few Tips How You Can Guard Against Having Your Ballot Refused. ft X tri The above is a fac-simille of the emblem of the Progressive ticket that will appear on both state and county ballots at the election next Tuesday. On both ballots the emblem will be found at the head of the fourth ticket from the left. The Democratic ticket is first; Republican second; Phoribltion third; Progressive fourth; Socialist fifth, and on the state ballot the Socialist Labor party tickt will be included and will be sixth. Familiarize yourself, Mr. Progressive Voter, with the Bull Moose emblem shown above. In marking your ticket, be certain, if you desire to vote a straight Progressive ticket, to make your cross wholly within the circle that surrounds the Bull Moose. Anywhere within the circle will do, but do not mark elsewhere. The better po sition for the cross is at the right or left of the Bull Moose where there is sufficient room for your marking. Voters should bear in mind that there are but two ballots. The state ticket contains first of all the presidential electors. The names of the Presidential candidates themselves do not appear. The voter who desires to vote for Roosevelt for president and Beverldge for governor has only to make the cross within the circle surrounding the Bull Moose emblem. Beveridge's name appears on the Progressive state ballot more than half way down the list. Simply make the cross in the circle at the top and you have voted for Beverldge for governor and for all presidential electors who will, if elected, cast their votes for Roosevelt. It is the same with the county ballot. On the Progressive ticket the name of Gierluf Jensen. Progressive candidate for congress, comes first. To vote for Jensen and all the remainder of the Progressive county ticket simply mark your cross within the circle surrounding the Bull Moose. Get this Progressive emblem fixed well in your mind's eye and on entering the voting booth, you will find the emblem, as stated above, the fourth from the left, on both the state and county ballots. WILL CALL GRAND JURY AFTER ELECTION Prosecutor Allen stated today that the grand jury will be called to investigate the murder of William Thompson, who was shot at the Hotel Marshalette, by Mrs. Mary Moore.

FORM BI-PARTISAN LEAGUE TO BOOST "PET" CANDIDATES

Seek to Elect Two Democratic Legislative Candidates, Commissioner Farlow, and Ralston. THESE CANDIDATES REGARDED "RIGHT Powerful Saloon Organization Is Quietly Working, for the Success of These Four Men. The saloon owners of Richmond, representative of a class that in other cities is generally a strong part and parcel of the bi-partisan machine, are backing the same old game in this community. They are trying to make the so-called "saloon vote" a determining factor in the approaching election. Recently the saloon owners held a meeting at which it was determined to support as a body Fred Krone and Earl Crawford, candidates on the Democratic ticket for th state legislature, and Homer Farlow, candidate on the Republican ticket for couaty commissioner. They also agreed to use their united influence to further the candidacy of Samuel Ralston, candidate on the Democratic ticket for governor. Their reason was that these men stood for policies that were favorable to the saloon business. It is not known that this action was taken with the cognizance or consent of the candidates affected. But It is known that the saloon owners are quietly doing all in their power to help these men. What Their Motive Is. Krone and Crawford are running on a platform that promises no change from the present ward and township local option unit. Farlow Is known as a "wet" and as commissioner again with Barney Llndennan, also known as a "wet," would constitute a majority of the board. For this reason no attention Is paid to the candidacy of Groves. The saloon men believed it would be best to converge all strength on Farlow. . Such action will not be so apparent as though they were attempting to elect both Republican candidates for the board of commissioners. This interest in the commissioners, of course, is due to their's being the body that issues saloon licenses. Ralston, running on the same plat form with Krone and Crawford, is in serious danger of an overwhelming defeat at the hands of Beverldge. The progressive platform provides for sett ling the liquor question in an absolutely non-partisan way through the initiative and referendum; and until these principles are established In the state consUtution it proposes to re-establish the county local opUon law. For this reason Beverldge is being fought by the local saloon owners, as are Judkins and Clifford, the Progressive candidates for the state legislature. As a plain and apparent case of bipartisan machine action tbe course being pursued by the saloon owners of Richmond is illuminating. They are supporting the legislative candidates of the Democratic party and the candidate for commissioner of the Republican party. ELECTION EQUIPMENT Ballot boxes and the collapsible booths, which will be ued in the election, and which have been stored at the court house, have been repaired. New locks have been placed on the ballot boxes and tbe booths have been repaired. The booths and boxes will be taken to the various voting places next Monday.
