Watertown, A T., Oct. 23.-Oovernor
Tioosevelfs first stop today was at Cam
den, Oneida count?-, the home of Attor
ney General Davies, where he made an
address urging the re-election of that
official. The day began with a heavy
fog over the country, and Mr. Roosevelt
wade his first speech Tery brief, fearing
to injure hU voice.
At. Watertdwn, the home of Edward
IV. -Road, candidate for State engineer,
arrangements had been made to take the
governor from the train to the public
square and here he found a very large
audience.
The governor took up the question of
militarism here, alluding to the fact that
Pickett's Harbor, hut a few miles dis
tant, was a great army post, and saying
that if, acting under Mr. Bryan's the
ory, it was abolished, it woukl naturally
prove a Ks-s to this locality, lie said that
he understood' that at the suggestion of
the people in Watertown and the con
gressman from this district, the post h:rd
lately "been enlarged ami that, in his
luind, was sufficient evidence that in
stead of being seared at Mr. Bryan's
bug-a-rK of a menacing standing army,
the people were .glad to ee the posts in
crease. He alo called attention to the fact
that Colonel Li scrim, who was killed in
China, aud his. gallant regimeni of men.
the Ninth. Avere from this vitinity, ami
asserted that certainly no man who had
any respect, for the nag or any love lor
its" valorous defenders would agree with
statements attributed by the sneaker to
Mr. Bryan, to the effect that' the offi
cers and men of the army were looters,
ravishers. and murderers. The governor
took up the question of the.prosfperity of
the farmers and said in part:
"I am assured that the farmers of this
locality have been increasing in prosperi
ty for the past Tour years, and that this
year just about closing has 1een the
most prosperous of all. Mr. Bryan is
responsible "for the statement that the
farming cement of the country has felt
the prosperity less than any other class,
and by Mr. Bryan's awn statement I am
going to put him to confusion. Careful
statistics, gathered by the commissioner
of agriculture show that the farmers
have increased 3T per cent, in prosperity
in the last three or four years.
"Now if Mr. Bryan is right, and the
.farming element has been .the Jeasi:
prosperous or any class, then the pros
perity of the other classes of wage, earn
ers and profit-seekers , must, have beeit-
greater.tnan . i?r cent, and therefore:
it sn-ai renuatiou or '.Mr. nrvan s theorv
that prosperity has not touched this
country."
The governor read some statistics
showing the improvement of the farming
classes as prepared from the reports of
, -uiiimissioner -or agriculture and
uunng rne reading was frequently inter
rupted by applause.
Governor Uosevelt's train arrived in
Oswero a little behind time, but there
vjns an immense crowd to welcome him.

lesterday." said iiovernor Roosevelt,
"f, Bryan at last wa goaded into
making a pretense of arguing a question
as tn whether if elected, he would pay
pensions and other national creditors
iu Kiuu or m silver. J use the word
pretense advisediy. for the answer is an
evasion pure and simple, an evasion,
moreover, so palpable and so treat thnf
It Is astounding that any candidate for
xne nigncst ornce in the gift of the na
tion should hare' been willing to resort
to it. He said:
I want the Republicans who wa'nt
rnat question answered to first find what
the law requires, and then I want them
to know that if elected President I will
enforce that law just as I will enforce
the law against trusts, and put striped
clothes on big thieves as well as little
thieves. But if you ask me to const "
n Republican law. I will reply that I
shall not construe a law until it becomes
mv duty to enforce it.'
"This, of cO'irseamounts merely to
saying that Mr. Bryan will not state
what he will do until after the election,
lest his statement should impair his
chance of election. The whole point at
issue, is how the law shall be construed.
"We contend that it is" to be construed
that the nation shall pay its obligations
in gold. In other words, we are for the
gold standard, and exactly as I cham
pioned it in New York State I cham
pioned it in Colorado.
"Mx. Brvan's free silver friends Insist
that the law. nermits him to - pay the
debt of the nation in silver. Four veara
ago Mr. Bryan' position was the same
ns theirs, and this position had at leat
the merit of being entitled to what re
spect can be given wrong-minded sin
cerity. Unless Mr. Bryan has convic
tions on so important a subject he is not
fit to be president, and if he has con
victions, by every law of honor and self
resnect he should make these convictions
public when he ii appealing for the suf
frage of the people.
"In the same breath that he thns
pvows that h flinches from declaring his
position on one of the most vital points
st iue, he boasts that he will enforcf
the law -against trusts and put striped
clothes on Trig thieves as well as litt'e
thieves."
MAYOR'S RAD CREAK
Attempt Orcaaice a Committee of
Safety Xleeta with Failure
Wilkesbarre. Vx Oct 25. Mayor
Nichols and the police authorities today
decided to form a cotnmitteeof safety
composed of fifty young men, most-of
them lawyers and professional men-and
among the most prominent in town.
These were subpoenaed this afternoon,
and while many of them objected to the
enforced authority, they are compelled
to respond. The town has practically
been at the mercy of the Tioters sine
Monday. They have stopped work pt all
the washeries, cut off the coal supplv of
the electric light works and several fac
tories, attempted to wreck trains on the
Central Railroad or New Jersey, fired
a Iliigh and Wilkesbarre Company tool
.ouse .beaten men at the culm banks,
xora dojvn, f igaa jit spoons an4 seasrajlj
terrorized the neople, besides firing fre
quently on special police.
The whole police force and reserves
have been kept on guard and the fire
men ordered to respond to any call' for
help. Several of the firemen are mem
bers of the mine workers union and
have resigned rather than obey orders.
A -whole company is talking of resigning
rather than face the strikers with whom
they sympathize. Feeling that in the
event of trouble he would not have a
sufficient force to cope with the strikers,
the mayor today decided to call together
fifty men and make them special police
men. He did so and called them to ho.d
a special meeting with him tonight.- It
was secret and no one but those snb
poenaed were allowed to enter. The
nleii include some of the most astute
members of the Luberne county bar. a
number of the younger attorneys, a few
business men and. some of the crack
shots of the Ninth regiment.
The secret meeting of the men sub
poenaed by Mayor Nichols was as much
a surprise to the mayor as was his call
to the men. He made an address say
ing that there was disorder and riot m
the citv limits and the mob was I eyo:id
control". He told them he had the power
of a sheriff and while he would not force
them to serve as special policemen be
wanted ihem to volunteer. Major John
S. Harding said 'the mayor's action was
foolish when he could get troops lie-v
in a few minutes if thev were needed.
Attorney William S. McCartney also ex
pressed the disapproval of the gentlemen
present to
servmsr. J n e mayor in n
asked for volunteers and rot a single
man offered hi? services, lie thon r.J
jonrnod the ineetinsr until tomorrow.
Several of the men were represented hy
their attornevs and said thev would so
to jail before serving as police. Coun

committee, stated tonight that the entire

Strkera Wives Will not Permit Work
to Re Done at the Klines
Hazleton, Pa. Oct. 23. The vicinity
of Turk's washery, near Audenried,
was enlivened by an amusing incident
this morning. Three enrpenters had
been sent o the breakers to make some
necessary repairs there. Word reached
McAdoo that an effort was on fcot to
prepare coal, and in a short time some
fifty lusty Irish women, with sleeves
rolled up. and armed with brooms, made
an attack on the place.
The carpenters were made to march
in front of the women, who escorted
them to the traction road and compelled
the men to get. in a ear and so back
home. Tbe women said that they would
allow no work of any kind to be done
at any colliery or washery so long as thd
strike was on.
No disturbances have been reported In
the Hazleton region and' none is likely
to occur, in new or tne ceneral exnee-
tation that the strike will be called off
this week.

New York, Oct. 25. Resolutions scor
ing the present 'Conduct of national af
fairs and calling on all patriots irre
spective of party to support Mr. Bryan
have been signed by over five-hundre
officers of the National Association of
Imperialist Clubs. The signers repre
sent the forty-five States and five terri
tories of the union, many of them
statesmen and all prominent men. Tho
resolutions will be circulated among 'the
anti-imperialist clubs located in prac
tically every town and in every election
mstrici in .ew xorK ana cities ormn
dred size and importance viin the coun
try. There is but one object for the
circulation of 'the resolutions, to secure
the defeat of President McKinley in the
campaign.- President C. C. Hughes, of
Greater JNew. loik Association, said to
day:
The resolutions and signatures will
show that the cause of anti-imperialism
is far from being treasonable as the
more rabid Mclvinleyites declare, and
That its followers are anything but the
irresponsible characters certain inter
ested persons have declared .them to
he."
Following are the resdlntions:
"We, the undersigned officers of the
National Association of anti-Imperialist
Clubs, conscious that the close of
most portentous campaign is at hand,
when the. merit of its issues and of the
respective candidates for the Presidency
nre to be finally submitted to the jury
of the people, submit the following as
a synopsis of our position, and upon it
invite the support of the membership of
this association and of patriotic voters
generally:
"1. We object to the imposition of
taxation without representation by the
McKinley administration on the people
of Porto Rico, as an unpardonable vio
lation of American principles.
"2. We object to the recognition of
slavery and polygamy by the McKinley
administration In its illegal treaty with
reference to the Sulu Islands as. an out
rage against the letter and spiwt of Am
erica n law.
"3. We object to the perversion and
suppression of news and information by
the McKinley administration, either by
means of censorship at Washington, or
by a subsidized press, as the most im
mediate danger directly .threatening
Amorirnn Hhfrtr.
"I. We object as a people still de
voted to risrhteousness, to the infamy
committed in the Philippine., Islands by
the McKinley administration .upon our
own trobps, as well as upori a people
innocent of any offense whatever toward
our nation, as the most shameful 'official
crimes in the annals of history.
'. We object to every form of tacit
understanding by the McKinley admin
istrntion with monarchical governments
which -today deprives a people struggling
for self-preservation and a republican
form of government in South Africa, of
the moral support and sympathy which
our peoole would gladly extend.
"0. We object to arbitrary exercise of
executive power by the McKinley ad
ministration unrestrained by the pro
visions of the constitution or by the cus
toms and usage of more thkrw a cen
tury. We object to the prostitution of
American doctrines and ildeals arid the
delivery of our . people to the methods
of despots and the snares of imperialism.
"Now, therefore, appealing to the
members of these clubs as' well as to
all voters who place country above
party, we ask that they make the re
election of Mr. McKinley impossible by
declining to vote for him, nnd to make
positively certain that such ealamity
may be averted that they do "cast their
votes for Mr. Bryan.
"The resolutions are signed .by Anson
Phelp Stokes, president, and about two
hundred others.

"Oh, yes, it was a jolly crowd."
The Gun Shooting Contests
The two days' shooting tournament at
the fair irrounds was brought to a suc
cessful Hosf lnsr eveniner. The Dfomo- i
trr of the. ;.fonrfflmPTit. ithft Fair AsSO-
ciation and the Peters Cartridge . Co.'s
representatives, felt more than pleased
with 'the results, and both parties con -
.
cerned contemplate givang a similar ai -
fair on a larger scale next year, new
faces were seen today, Messrs. trlen
and Daniels, of Greensboro, who a few
years ago could hold their own with
any of the cracker-jack shots of the
country, taking part. The local shoot
ers took part in the majority of events,
Messrs. Crawford Bros, and Walters
showing up to n good advantage. One
of the features of yesterday's shoot was
the -remarkable shooting of Major Mc
Kissick, of Asheville, who tied jBarney
Worthen, of Charleston, both making
92 per cent of the number of events
shot at. The Major should feel proud
of this, as Mr. Worthen is considered
the best trap shot in the South, barring
none, and Major McKissick is a com
paratively new shooter on targets,-. If
the Major keeps up his present gait he
will be heard from in the near future.
Mr. Worthen, of Charleston, won the
handsome gold locket presented by, the
Peters Cartridge Company to the man
making the highest average throughout
the entire program for both days. Mr.
Thomas H. Keller, the eastern aent of
tho Peters Cartridge Company, present
ed Mr. Worthen with a trophy in an
appropriate speech. Mr. Worthen high
ly values the trophy. Major McKissick
would have given Mr. Worthen a close
race if he had shot entirely through.
Mr. Keller also felt pleased, asMr.
Worthen used Peters Cartridge Coni"
oanrs ammunition, which was used al-
most nure y with one or two ep-
tions. About 4,000 targets were thrown ;
and at least seventy-five different snoot
ers took part. A large crowd of inter
ested spectators viewed the shooting
continually, and the shoot was one of
the interesting features of the Fair.
The Peters Cartridge Company's rep
resentatives, Messrs. Keller, Sr., Keller,
Jr., Lemcke and Parker, worked hard
to make it pleasant for all. Instruc
tions and guns were furnished gratis, as
the majority of shooters taking part,
though all " game shots, were not posted
in trap shooting. They all found time
to shoot occasionally. Mr. Parker shoot
ing clean through and was closer to the
leaders at the finish. This snoot win
cive a new imDetus to trap shooting an
North . Carolina. Greensboro and Dur
ham will onr,miz mm clubs and un
doubtedly the Raleigh shooters will
take more interest in the sport, and
when the next shoot is held here will
be able to hold their own with any one.
Tho next biz shoot is next Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday, the 20th and
80th and 31st at Jacksonville, Fla., sim
ilar to the shoot given here only live
birds w 11 be used the last day. Tne
Peters Cartridge Company will add $150
and donate a trophy for the best av
erage both days. John Parker will
manage this tournament, leaving for
Jacksonville this evening. me aoie
manner an which he conducted the shoot
here is a guarantee that the Florida
shoot will - be successfully conducted.
The- souvenir badges and scarf pins
made to represent a rifle cartridge, that
were distributed at the shoot were in
great demand and were a clever adver
tisement for the Jt'eters company.
Some of Today Events
Today will he "Raleigh Day" and ,Ed

The weather man predicts "occasional

and the temperature will probably be all

going out on their account.

nice ithiings said, of him, for he has done
gallant work towards making the Fair

the success that it as. All the more no
by reason of the fact that he is the first
president of tne 'State Fair who was not
a? native North "Carolinian."
