ENTHUSIASM GREETS BULL MOOSE MOVEMENT New Party Expects to Poll 20.- 000 Votes Tuesday and Win I , in November. I BENNINGTON, VT„ Aug. 29 Colo- ■ nel Roosevelt started his three days i campaign in Vermont today with a j bristling speech at the ball grounds | here, in which he attacked the Demo cratic and Republican parties for their ■ boss rule. I "If you want to govern yourselves land not have the venal boss —such as the Penrose type—do it, then you will have to come with us," exclaimed the colonel. The crowd gave the ex-president a rousing greeting. Roosevelt was in formed by his workers here that a de cided Progressive sentiment exists in the state. James R. Garfield, former secretary of the interior under Roose velt who has been stumping the state, met the colonel on his arrival with en couraging words. Crowded Meeting Everywhere, Says Garfield. "We have had crowded meetings ev ‘ erywhere and intense enthusiasm.” he said. ’ The Bull Moose leader said he ex- I pected Dr. Frazer Metzger, Progressive j candidate for governor, to poll 20,000 > votes at the election next Tuesday, “That means," quoted Garfield, "that the election for governor will go into I the state legislature. It also means I that Roosevelt will 'carry the state in i November." Roosevelt reached North Bennington lat 8:50 o’clock this morning by train j and drove here by automobile. At sta tions along the way crowds yelled for him. but it was too early for the colo nel to be up. He was cheered by im i mense throngs on the streets here. "Hooray for the big Bull Moose!” was the cry that filled the air. The colonel will then spend Sftnday at Sagamore Hill, when he will make public his letter to Senator Clapp, chairman of the senate sub-committee which is investigating expenditures in the 1909 and 1908 campaigns. In his letter Roosevelt will answer the testi mony of Senator Penrose and John D. Archbold, denying that he knew of immense contributions which the Standard Oil Company was making to his cause. The colonel said he would tell in his letter the same story he would have told had he gone on the witness stand. Colonel Roosevelt in going into Ver mont is invading a hostile state. The third term candidate will bring into ac tion his heaviest guns in an endeavor to swing it into the Progressive column. Progressive Vote Light In Primary DETROIT. Aug. 29.—Amos S Musel man. of Grand Rapids, has received the Republican nomination for governor according to returns today from the state-wide primary of Tuesday. The race was close, but today’s figures show Muselman leading Fred C. Martindale by a trifle over 3.000 votes, out of a total of about 70,000 cast. The Progressive vote throughout the state was very light. Figures so far received show that only a little over 2,000 were cast in the entire state. Os these, about 700 were polled in Detroit There were no contests between Pro gressive candidates, and this, according to the state leaders of the new party, Is the reason for the light vote. A test of the primary law may be made by the Democrats of Ingham county. The law requires that a vote equal to 15 per cent of the vote cast for the secretary of state at the pre ceding election be polled at the pri maries in order to make the nomination effective. In many Instances the vote, owing to lack of contests, was under the required 15 per cent. SPANISH WAR CAMP FORMED.

Mrs. Foster said: As state regent of the Daughters of the American Revolution, I wish to thank you for your article in Wednesday afternoon’s paper inde fense of the Georgia flag. The lack of respect by the Amer ican people for the flag of our na tion has so engaged the attention of the National Society of th«- Daughters of the American Revo lution that a standing committee has been appointed on "the preven tion of the desecration of the flag.” We as a nation are expected to pay respect to foreign flags, then how much more important to pay respect to our own national and state flags.

D®. 2 CENTS EVERYWHERE P^ E ° M Ml ATMIDHIGHT TH BUOY 10 TEXAS Daughter Removes Remains ol Wireless King From Atlanta With All Possible Secrecy. YOUNG BRIDE THINKS NO FORTUNE WAS LEFT HER “So Far as I Know. All I Have Is My Baby,” She Declares in an Interview. Removed from Atlanta at midnight with all possible secrecy, the body of Christopher Columbus Wilson, once millionaire promoter and wireless king, is back in his old home state, Texas, there to find Its last resting place in the little town of Terrell. Miss Olla Wilson, the ex-magnate’s daughter, and a brother, of Lancaster, Texas, called for the body late yester day afternoon, made hurried prepara tions for the trip, and at 11:10 p. m. left for Texas on a train from New York, Miss Neta Wilson, another daugh ter, was aboard the train. While Wilson Is being taken to his grave, a girl widow up North, who. as Stella Lewis, was his stenographer, faces a future much different from that of which she dreamed when she mar ried the wireless king. Doesn’t Believe the Report of Hidden Riches. Young Mrs. Wilson is convinced that there is no truth in the report that she would come into about $1,000,000. said to have been concealed by Wilson abroad before he was arrested and im prisoned here for fraud. “I wish it were true,” said Mrs. Wil son. through her sister. Miss Sarah Lewis, at her home in Spring Valley', N. Y., when she was asked about this. “So far as I know he left nothing at all to me, except our baby.” Christopher Columbus Wilson, Jr., one year old. who was bom while his father was behind the walls of the Southern penitentiary, was creeping joyously about the porch of the big country house while his mother sent out her answers. "The funeral?” Mrs. Wilson repeat ed. "I did not know a thing about it, really. 1 received a telegram notifying me of my husband's death and asking about funeral arrangements. I was so shocked and so ill that I turned over the task of arranging for the burial to Mr. Wilson's daughter. Miss Olla Wilson, of Lancaster, Texas.” Bride Can Not Attend Funeral. "The little colonel," as some of Wil son's friends called the baby. laughed and tried to toddle around the inter viewer. He had only seen Ills father once—when, because of a lax guar dian, Wilson, who was brought North to testify in his own bankruptcy pro ceedings in July, managed to get out to bis country home. "Will you attend the funeral of Colo nel Wilson?" was asked. "I fear that I will not be able to." was the young bride's reply. "But." she hastened to explain, that is only be cause of my physical condition. We were most devoted to each other. Ha was expecting to be paroled and to re turn to a quiet life with me and our child. When 1 received the telegram from Atlanta I was reading an affec tionate letter which had just come. He wrote to me every day. "I interrupted the letter to read the telegram, thinking that the message might tell of bls parole. Instead, it told of his death. I hud to be helped to bed, and have been here ever since.” Reports have been printed that Miss Lewis married Wilson so that she could not be used as a witness against him in his trial for using the mails to de fraud in selling United Wireless stock. “That is not so,” declared the young widow yesterday. “I married Mr. Wil son because 1 loved bim and he loved me. His business had nothing what ever to do with it. After he was sent to jail—unjustly, I still believe—we were both just as much in love with each other as ever. I certainly did not marry him to protect him. He needed no protection." "Have you engaged a lawyer to look out for your interests in Colonel Wil son’s estate?” was saked. “No; I have not. I do not know that Colonel Wilson had an estate. I only wish that it might be true that he left $1,000,000 or any other sum. I had been relying upon him to come back soon and rehabilitate our fortunes. As can be plainly seen. I have nothing luxu rious here. "I am leaving everything to Colonel Wilson's attorneys," the widow con cluded. "I have not yet been able to bring myself to the thought of looking after any interests that may be mine. I can scarcely believe that my husband is dead and that the baby and 1 are alone.”
