ROOSEVELT HITS SHERMAN IN FIRST PUBLIG TALK . Defends Vice-President’s Foe at Utica in Initial Address of Western Trip. Utica, N. Y., Aug. 24—Theodore Roosevelt wound up the first day of his pilgrimage into the west by plac- ing himself directly in opposition to Vice President Sherman. Speaking in the vice president’s own country, he warmly endorsed State Senator Frederick Davenport, who is a staunch progressive, and whom Mr. Sherman has said he would not sup- port. Mr. Sherman was out of town and did not see Col. Roosevelt It was late afternoon wheh Col. Roosevelt reached Summit Park, ten miles west of here, a summer resort over looking the Mohawk river. Ten thousand persons were waiting for him, and raised a cheer as the ex-president appeared on the platform, Col. Roosevelt spied Senator Davenport at once, and greated him warmly, Assoon as he be- gan his speech he turned to the senatoc and said.; “I am glad to see you on the plat- form, Senator Davenport. The only kind of politics I care for is the kind of politics in which decency is com- bined with efficiency. I hold that the only way in which a politician can really serve his party is by help- ing that party efficiently to serve the people. Because the senator and the men who have acted with him have stood for this principle I am glad to be on the platform with him.” There was more cheering as the colonel uttered these words. When he could be heard again he added: *“You will at least notice that my utterances are free from ambiguity.” The former president then launched into a set speech aimed particularly at the farmers, and among other things said: “Country life should be as attrac- tive as city life, and the country peo- ple should insist upon having their full representation when it comes to dealing with all great public queés- tions. In other words, country folks should demand that they work on equal terms with city folks in all such matters. They should have their share in the memberships of commissions and councils; in New-Cash-Want-Rats ',-Cent-a-Word Where cash accompanies copy we will publish all “Want Ads" for half- cent. a word per insertion.

The man in the open country is apt to have certain qualities which the city man has lost. ‘““These qualities offset those which the city man has and he himself has not. The two should be put on equal terms, and the country talent be given the same opportunity as the city talent to express itself and to contribute to the welfare of the world in which we live.” SIBLEY SPENT T00 MUCH CASH Ex-Congressman Accused of Debauching Voters. NOMINATION COST $32,500 According to Population Candidate for Congress Expended Four Dollars for Every Vote in His District—Arrest Follows Withdrawal From Race. Has Been Elected Both as a Demo- crat and Republican, Franklin, Pa., Aug. 24—Joseph C. Sibley, who withdrew as a candidate for congress on the Republican ticket in the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania district, was arrested on a warrant charging “conspiracy to debauch voters.” Mr. Sibley was released on his own recognizance to appear before Justice of the Peace Perry at Warren, Pa., hug. 28. The arrest of Sibley came a few hours after he had announced his withdrawal from the congressional race. According to his own figures, filed in obedience to the legislative act requiring a public statement of a candidate’s expense account, Mr. Sib- ley spent $17,000 in Warren county to secure his nomination and in the entire district $32,500, which, accord- ing to population, averaged $4 a vote. In the warrant under which Mr. Sib- ley was arrested three other promi- nent politicians in the Twenty-eighth district are also charged with con- spiracy to debauch voters. They are Charles Crandall, D. M. Howard and George M. Dunn. The information against Mr. Sibley was made before Justice Perry of ‘Warren by Constable Walter Paige of the same city. Paige secured the war- rant and served it on Mr. Sibley at the latter’s home. Mr. Sibley is a manufacturer and farmer and reputed to be a millionaire. He was elected as a Democrat to the Fiftieth and Fifty-second congresses and as a Republican to the Fifty- seventh and Fifty-eighth congresses and elected to the Fifty-ninth . con- gress by a large majority. In the Democratic national conven- tion of 1896 Mr. Sibley received the largest number of votes for the nomi- nation of vice president, but wired the convention to withdraw his name.

MAKES BRIEF STATEMENT Declares He Will Attend the Coming State Convention if His Home Coun- ty Desires—Says the lssue Is Clean Cut and There Will Be Absolutely No Compromise as Far as He Is Concerned. New York, Aug. 24— am very much pleased with Mr. Taft’s state- ment. It makes the situation perfect- 1y clear. If Nassau county wishes me 1 ahall Bo. - I Tegard the issue as clear cut, and, as far as I am concerned, there will be absolutely no compromise.” This declaration was made by Theo- dore Roosevelt a few minutes before his departure on his Western speak- ing ‘tour and followed a short confer- ence .with County Chairman Liloyd C. Griscom in the former president’s pri- vate car. After the colonel’s train pulled out Chairman Griscom said: “I. regard President Taft's position now as stronger than'it has been at any time since he took hold of the administra- tion. He has simply done what we all expected he would do.” Colonel Roosevelt was in his hap- piest mood as he edged his way through the crewd at the station and smilingly remarked to one of his busi- ness assoclates that it seemed like old campaign days. Mrs. Roosevelt, Congressman and Mrs. Longworth and Quentin Roosevelt came to the station to bid the colonel farewell, The colonel was ‘disinclined at first to discuss politics: When told that it had been reported that he was expect- ed to make ‘a dctailed statement re- garding Mr. Taft’s letter to Mr. Gris- com he laughed and said: Has No Statement to Make, “I am afraid you are of an over trustful nature. No, I'm not going to say anything; not a word.” “Well, you are happy, aren’t you, colonel?” ventured a newspaper man, but the colonel only beamed in reply. The colonel and his family were es- corted by the railroad officers to the private car Republic and there the former president was soon joined by County Chairman Griscom and Col- lector of the Port Loeb. Later the colonel emerged from the rear of his private car and made the statement that he would go to the state conven- tion if Nassau county selected him as a delegate and that there would be no compromise, as the issues were clear cut. The declaration of Colonel Roose- velt was quickly taken to mean by politicians that he proposes to go to the convention at Saratoga and make his fight against the “old guard” for the platform and candidates that he thinks most desirable. The colonel made it clear that he meant every S e e word he gald, for he punctuated fhe closing of each sentence with a clap of his hafids. But beyond the state- ment he said he had nothing to say on politics. PASSENGER RATE RAISED Arkansas Railroads to Re-Establish Three Cents Per Mile Tariff.
