The colonel wore the conventional brand of Roosevelt smile as he heard the cheering, and doffed his hat as he made his way through the series of en ttrances and exits. At the carriage exit an automobile was waiting for him, and as he climbed into the car and was whisked off a final cheer greeted him. With the colonel was his wife, his nephew. George H Roosevelt, and Er nest H. Abbott. All drove in the same automobile to The Outlook office, and frequent cheering and waving of hand kerchiefs greeted the colonel on his way down town.

WALTER M'ELREATH IS A CANDIDATE FOR STATE LEGISLATURE To the Voters of Fulton County: I announce myself a candidate for re election as representative front this county, subject to the primary to be held on August 21. x I have served in the Legislature for two terms, and I have tried to do so faithfully, diligently and efficiently. The experience I have gained from past service has fitted me to serve more efficiently in the future. To properly represent so great a county as this, with its many* and com plex interests, is a difficult task, and legislative experience will be especial ly necessary during the next term, when Fulton county will not furnish a sen ator. I am at a disadvantage in presenting my candidacy, because every moment of my time will be taken up with du ties in the legislature until so near the date of the primary that I will be able to see but very few of the voters. 1 trust the public will take this into consideration and will not let my per formance of dutv work to mv disadvan tage.
