Y,, Sept. $—A salute of twenty-one guns, fired simultane- ously by every fightlng craft in a mighty fleet of two score warships, greeted President Roosevelt when he stepped on board the naval yacht May- flower to review what is believed to be the largest war fleet that ever as- sembled in American waters. When the president stepped on board the Mayflower the great fleet.lay in three columns, each about two miles in length, with battleships and monitors in the center column, the cruisers and several other battleships in the off shore column and a long line of tor- pedo destroyers stretched between the remainder of the fleet and the shore. Encircling the entire flest was a cordon of cutters,, making a picket line for the exclusion of the excursion boats. Dull and lowering skies, with fitful showers of rain sweeping across the sound, threatened to rob the display of much of its beauty and put a damper over the enthusiasm of the thousands of spectators who were gathered to witness it in every man- ner of craft conceivable. Half an hour before the arrival of the president Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte boarded the Mayflower and was received with a salute by the marine guard and the ruffies of the drums. Foliowing him came Postmas- ter Genmeral Cortelyou, who was also honored on the quarterdeck. Naval Attaches See Review. The naval attaches representing foreign governments came on board the Des Moines and were transferred to the Mayflower in launches. A large number of guests of Presi- dent and Mrs. Roosevelt were on board the Dolphin, Followed by the cruiser Des Moines and by the Dolphin the Mayfower proceeded out of Oyster bay to the head of the feet off Lloyds neck, where the battleship Maine, with Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans on board, lay in the central position at the head of the fieet. The Dolphin and Des Moines took up their positions re- spectively at the head of the ‘third and first columns and the Mayflower passed down between the long lines ot warships while the roar of the pres- ident’s salute of twenty-one guns again burst from the 3-inch guns of cach warship as the Mayflower swept ma- Jestically past. While the review was taking place the clouds began to roll away and before it was finished the sun broke through and brought all the splender of the great white warships and long black torpedo destroyers which went to.make the mightiest fleet that the United States has ever assembled. After luncheon the president visited several ships of the fleet. When he returned again to the Mayflower the review was practically at an end, al- though Mr. Roosevelt and most of his guests remained on board to witness the illumination of the fleet.

Mr, Wilman has made an enviable record as county aunditor and we have always found him at his post of duty ready to accomadate the people. Mr. Wilmann had a very difficult task before him when he took the office two years ago. The records were in bad shape and after working hard day and night for ‘the last year and a half he has succeeded in straightening out the affairs to such an extent that they were never in beiter shape than at the present time. He has added thousands of acres of land to the tax list that have for years escaped taxation. His way of handling the forfeited tax sale last year met with the approval of the state auditor, who made a personal visit to the aud- itors office at the time of the sale. The office of the county auditor i$ an important one, and a man is needed there who is competent and willing to safeguard the in- terests of the taxpayers and such a man is found in the present auditor, John Wilmann who is seeking re-election.
