York than as a seeker for votes It ap appreciated appreciated predated his personal courage and his other good qualities not notwithstanding notwithstanding withstanding his hi absurd egotism and the willingness he has ever displayed to appropriate the ideas of others and to wear borrowed L plumes Governor Roosevelt despite his career career as a soldier and his bombast since displayed undoubted devotion to his country He was willing to fight for his country o and much is forgiven him who responds willingly to his call and ande e serves it as well as he may This was the thought which as assembled assembled assembled the crowds that greeted Governor Roosevelt everywhere ev I in the west That the greeting was cold is due to Mr hostility to all that is nearest the heart of this region

war record r cord in l Salt Lake In truth he has avoided the topic since his nomina nomination t tion tien to the vice presidency as the hero of San Juan J l n hill It would have been doubly unfortunate for him to have plumed himself on his martial accomplishments in this thi city For though tRough Mr Roosevelt is popularly supposed to have been the author of the th Rough Rider idea he was not The idea belonged to lo a Wyoming man who went to Washington before the outbreak of I the war and offered the war department to raise a regiment of oft t Wyoming cowboys and nd mount them on his own horses in the event of hostilities That Wyoming man was Colonel Jay L Li i Torrey He lIe was listened to in ip Washington but that was about all an the attention he received because though a Republican of eminence the e congressional delegation from Wyoming were vere vere hostile to him and able to prevent favorable action on the prop proposition proposition i so long as it was his Torrey however explained the idea fully and persuaded the war department of the efficacy of ii 8 such a mounted regiment Then Roosevelt appropriated it with r the full sanction of the war department The

of how Roosevelt originated the Rough Riders As to the battle of San Sanjuan Juan Governor Roose Roosevelt Roosevel yet velt tells the part he played in it in his book There are pictures i of the Rough Riders carrying the hill but the text is as silent about their achievements there as the reports of the army officers 1 in command con Governor Roosevelt says in his book U The Ninth was immediately in front of me and andt t on my y left and these went up Kettle hill with my regi Then after telling of the assault on the handful of men on 1 Kettle hill he describes the assault on San

on in their final rush The soldiers who climbed this hill were the colored Twenty fourth who a few weeks before had marched through the streets of f Salt Lake on the way to the war The Sixteenth also were w re there It I t was then and there that Liscum was shot and Gurney Gurncy and Augustine killed and nearly all aU the deaths occurred 1 and nd done one that so shocked this city While the fight

consequences of such an enactment would be disastrous to the Democratic party as it would be to the country They accordingly opposed with all their might the adoption of the declaration and would have

SUCceeded in carrying it through COMMITTED TO FREE SILVER Mr Bryan Bran is therefore by his action at Kansas City as well weli as by the nu numerous speeches he made mafie in the he t presidential

him risk the loss of his nomination rather than seem to have abandoned a measure which he advocated so earnestly earnes IY In 1896 Is a guarantee that he would wold be no less reckless in promoting It

their hatred atred of what theY call the imperialism of the Republican party and they also also assert that even If the ticket is SUccess successful CUI the senate will prevent the passage of f any
