ALL TO SOME IN
PARTY EOUALLY
Roosevelt Tells Followers New
Movement Is To Be One Lit
erally of the People.
NEW YORK July 23. -Theodore
‘Roosevelt served notice upon his fol
lowers today th.it they are assuming
a grave responsibility in forming a new
party and that careful organization will
be necessary to wrest victory from
their opponents He met 100 loyal sup
;• porters, including the county chairmen
of New York state, nt the party head
quarters today and made a short ad
dress.
"I can see that the Bull Moose Is a
pretty big animal," said the colonel in
opening his speech
"I am not going to make a speech I
came over here to greet you because
you are the men behind the gun. No
man knows better than I do that en
thusiasm and high principles can not
be made effective without organization
and work.
"You are undertaking the organiza
tion of a new party—a party which is
to stand for a square deal democracy -
which is to be literally the par
ty of the people; a party which is
based on live issues and not on dead
Issues; a party protesting against cor
rupt and insincere quality of both the
old machines: a party into which ex-
Democrats and ex-Republics ns, men
without regard to what their political
past may have been, are to come in on
an exact equality and to have each the
same share in the party management.
People to Share Party Powers.
"When we get this started this is to
be a party which will not only r< pre
sent the people, but a party which
the people will have a share of th"
management.
"We are going to see to it when this
pew party is organized that it will not
be possible for an; 53 men chosen four
years before by politicians to announce
tha' they stand superior to all the
voters in a great, state, like California
and if that state has not chosen to
shape Its lines according to t’Ar will of
the 53 individuals the state shall be
disfranchised.
"Nov. my own judgment is that
Messrs. Bttrnes, Penrose, Guggenheim
and company made a mistake when
they took two stolen delegates from
Cnliforn i in pi, ■■ of the electoral vote
of California. And they were not con
tent wll h that, they swiped the elet
torate of Massachusetts for two more
stolen delegates I think it was about
as expensive a piece of sham practice
as I ever saw indulged in and no good
will come if we merely substitute one
Bet of bosses for another. There is
nothing that the bosses of both parties
wish so much as to see every decent
man vote alternately for each patty
with the vagi" idea that he is rebuking
the other.
"No doubt Mr. Barm s and Mr. Mur
phy would like to have everything all
the firm-, but they ar> perfectly willing
each to take half instead of the whole.
But <\ don’t care .anything about di
viding the state equally between them
instead of giving it to one.
“Will Take Both From Them."
"Now what we intend to do is to take
It from both and we Intend to take the
nation from both.
"In this party we Intend to build a
government without and within the
party, on the lines of genuine popular
rule and asocial and Industrial justice
for farmer, wage worker, busim s< man
and professional man alike to be
achieved not through th. b m t
through the indirect control of the par
ty organization by special privilege
but to br reached through general ami
not merely nominal rule of the p.-.q.'.

OF REASONS BEHIND
HANFORD QUITTING
WASHINGTON, July 23.—Because

cialist who brought the impeachment
proceedings against the jurist, will de
mand an Inquiry by the Federal grand
Jury Into Judge Hanford’s resignation.

the Hanford case,” said Berger this
afternoon, "but to find out the moving

the Federal jurist."
Berger will inquire first if the attor
ney general is to make an investigation
and if this be not done will offer a reso
lution in the house for the inquiry.

Society Dinner for Russian
Grand Duke.
LONDON, Julv 23. —A delightful and
extremely novel society dinner party
was given at the Ritz hotel by Mrs.
John Gordon in honor of the Grand
Duke Michael and Countess Torby.
The orchestra was c<M|cealed in an
artificial river. The river was edged
with irises, and close by fountains were
at play.
One of the many surprises occurred
at midnight, when a gorgeous chariot
of golden flowers was drawn into the
room and wheeled round the circle of
guests.
Suddenly Mme. Pavlowa, the famous
dancer, sprang lightly out of the char
iot, and she afterwards gave various
dances with her own wonderful and in
comparable grace.
In compliment of the guests of the
evening Russian colors prevailed in the
decorations. Absolutely black flowers
can not be obtained, but a good sub
stitute was found in the giant bulrush,
while the second color was provided
by a great profusion of golden irises.
There was also a new variety of arum
lily, of a deep yellow shade with a long
black pistil. These flowers were mass
ed in every corner of the ballroom cor.
rldor and staircase.
The first dance of the evening was
led by Lord Vivian and Miss Evelyn
Gordon, the eighteen-year-old daugh
ter of the hostess. Many novel notions
for cotillions were introduced, and in
the different figures appeared some of
the best dancers in society.
Many' beautiful prizes were given for
the cotillions, some of them being an
tique fans, parasols of modish shape
and other elegant gifts.

[POLICEMAN SLAPPED
AS PINCHER TO ASK
ARREST OF WOMAN
Policeman B. B. Haslett, acquitte-’ in
police court of the charge of pinching
the toes of Mrs. Bertie E. Beall, of De
catur, in the waters of Piedmont lake
last Saturday afternoon, said today
that he wmuld swear out an accusation
in the city criminal court against Mrs.
Beall for slapping his face.
The case of disorderly' conduct
against the young woman, growing out
of the face slapping, was dismissed by-
Recorder Broyles.
Officer Haslett declares he didn't
clasp the foot of the pretty woman
bather, and says he feels that Mrs.
Beall should answer to the courts for
publicly humiliating him by' slapping
him. Mrs. Beall says she is sorry she
slapped the officer, but that she felt she
had been insulted and firmly believed
that Haslett was the guilty masher.
Haslett was in bathing with several
fellow officers and other friends, who
appeared as witnesses in his behalf,
testifying that Haslett w r as a consid
erable distance away from the woman
bather at the time she felt something
grab her foot. Mrs. Beall said she saw
the officer come up from under the
water a short distance away. She said
there was no doubt but that her foot
w-as |>inched.
"I just felt incensed over it, and hur
ried over to this officer and slapped
him,” she explained.
Judge Broyles said he was satisfied
there was a mistake, and allowed both
principals to go w’ithout a fine.
