I., Where He Opens Pro gressive Campaign Dem. Canvata. Addressing members of the Mary land Republican Editorial association In the East Room of the White House President Taft declared bluntly that presidential elector were "dlahonest men" If they let their names appear on the Republican ballot and Intended to vote for the candidate of another party. He asserted that those who were not for the Republican party were against It and should get out of the way. "Regularity, or feeling of regularity and respect for the Republican party for what It has done, what it is cap able of doing, are going to bring over Into the Republican party many a man who has been doubtful, and it is going to Increase that number, in my Judg ment, as we approach the election. "It is therefore essential that we make the cleavage as clear as It can be made, so that those who are Re publicans shall be Republicans, and those who are with the bolters shall bear their name and title, and not be Republicans and bolters, because they cannot be at least they ought not to be In all fairness. "If there are men on that list who are not going to vote for the men at the head of that ticket, I don't hesitate to say that they are dishonest men, in that they are holding out to the people who are to vote for them an Implied promise that they will vote for the names on the ticket, when they, in fact, Intend to vote for some body else." Rhode Islanders Cheer Teddy. Colonel Roosevelt made the opening speech of his campaign In Providence, R. I. The colonel's greeting was en thusiastic.

Tuttle was making his Introductory remarks a condition approaching a riot arose. It was all the police could do to close the doors. "I have already been asked three times since my arrival In this city," he said, "this question: 'Is this pro gressive movement liable to last?'" "I want to tell you right now and most emphatically that it is a move ment that is here to stay and that I have simply started It two or three years earlier than It would otherwise have started. It Is a permanent move ment and Is here to stay." Cheers followed the statement: "The Progressive party has made up Its mind that it would like to have the United States senate represent some one rather than It does represent." Again there was loud applause when the colonel said: "Our opponents have said we shall make mistaken. Very true, I expect that we shall, but we will maVe them ourselves, we don't want want the bosses to make pur mistakes for us." Result ol Democratic Canvass.

NO FIELD FOR THEIR WORK How The Good Young Man Frorr California Set the Card Sharpers Right There are good men In California, Tcry good men, and shrewd men, too (according to Ell Perkins). One day B real good young man, who used to tench a Bible class In San Francisco, boarded the Union Pacific train at Ogden. He was going home to Bos ton as a delegate from California to the Massachusetts Sunday-School as sociation. He wns neatly and sweetly dressed and spent most of his time reading the Christian at Work. Aftet a while he got Introduced to a colonel, a professor, and a doctor, who said they lived In Boston, and they invited him to take a quiet game of euchre. During an animated religious conver sation, three aces were thrown on his side of the table, after which one of the Bostenians gayly remarked, with the greatest coolness, "I wish that we were playing poker. I don't know that I have been favored with such a hand for years." Our religious young man from San Francisco Immediately saw the game pf the sharpers, looked up innocently, and remarked: "I have been favored aso. I have a pretty good pokep band myself." The three looked at each other significantly. "Thy eall you professor?" asked the young man from San Francisco. "Yes." "And they call you colonel?" "Yen." "You are from the East, I b!lTe?" "Yes. from Boston." "Well, gentleman," he continued, rising, "you had better take the next train back. W meet It just the other side of the Or rid Canon. You can't make a cent at thU. They nave been teaching It In the Sunday-schools In California for years."
