Placing Col. Roosevelt in nomination
for the . presidency, Comptroller Wil
liam A. Prendergaet; of New .York,
"This great gathering owes its being
to a mighty protest against those' who
have poisoned the wells of the Democ-
racy. While appreciating the; stupen
dous task before it, the progressive
party declines to accept the cynical
doctrine of Napoleon that Gpd.is-on
the eide- of the heaviest battalions and
professes its. sublime .faith , in the
teaching of ' Abraham Lincoln' that
right makes might. ' '
"The platform you have adopted to
day: says to the American people: iWe
recognize the social and industrial is
Bues of the time.. We present remedies
for them. . ' You cannot, .expect relief
from, either o? the old parties.
."But experience, tells us that ; the
conquering way is slow unless the le-
gions are led by one whose qualities
; of leadership are equal to the task of
moulding public opinion ana establish
ing a new epoch in American history.
Such leadership is personified - in . him
whose name I present to you
"My candidate is more than a citi
sen; he is a national asset. In this
momentous period of political doubt
there is no man who presents such
credentials as his. : This candidate has
successfully written on every page of
his official career. He has fought the
most vicious forces in American life
and conquered them. . He surrendered
. the presidency .in the hope that other
hands would prosecute succfully
what he did not have time to finish
That .'test has been treated with inter
mittent . loyalty, and largely left un
done. - " ' "' ' .
"He represents the most striking
and eventful civic career in American
history- He is one whose originality
of thought and directness., of action
have made his a unique- figure in
American-history. None other had
rendered euch . .distinguished public

is j inevitable1', that.- a man who . has

tions in each state Were concisely pre
pared forpresentation to the; govern -f

out and out progressive ticket in each
state, without- Republican fusion, as
outlined by Col. Roosevelt.
.The exodus of delegates, -begun im
mediately after the convention ; ad
ourned last night, was practically
completed today. Few but the party
leaders remained. " Early today in his
hotel Col. Roosevelt and Gov. John
son addressed several hundred dele
gates. The "Moo,' hoo" cry of the
bull moose clan greeted the leaders.
"Iam glad to know just how a bull
moose really sounds," said Col. Roose
velt. "I feel this convention . stands
for something the, old parties do not
dream s of. It was not typical of con
ventions of ,old parties which by their
platforms tried to conceal their real
plans. We do not promise the people
more than we ,can give. :i am sure

Redding, Aug. 8. A trio of Bethel
ites who , have been v persistently, an
noying Artist fE.vvV Demine and Law
yer W'T. "Mulligan, summer presidents
with' piac.es on' the shore of WaLramaug
Lake, were brought' to brook last' Sat
urday night. The three; along with
several others. were ; in the habit of
going upon ' the. lake in ' a boat at hlght
and. using profane and . boisterous lan
guage to a degree which seriously dis
turbed the repose of the Deming'and
Mulligan families. - Sometimes they
indulged' in even more offensive be
havior. . To get to their boat they
crossed the land of. the aggrieved par
ties and persisted In doing so although
the: land is ' posted and they were in
addition verbally warned to keep
away. The flrst :-; plan t was to . arrest
them for - trespass,, but when ' Grand
Juror . Duncan . looked up the 'law on
the. subject: he, found, that unless they
entered on vthe land in connection with
a violation; of the fish and game laws,
or! damaged "growing crops in " their
passage, or wilfully left open gates or
bare - they w6re not- criminally liable.
Hence a. decision to apprehend them
for a breach .of the. peace ; while ;they
were in the act. i - r ? '
In pursuance of this plan the , grand
juror, . accompanied , by Constables
Warner and Downs,, went; to, the scene
Saturday. ..evening , and , established . a
wath in Mr,. Deming's, Indian .tepee
bri a highv bend - near which the ma
rauders' boat, - which ' had ' got adrift
was lying. .. Presently there " appeared
a man of massive, proportions' aressea
ini khaki ,and' wearing a "belt; from
which hung a holster enclosing a big
automatic revolver." The visitor was
not a "hostile," but. Artist Deming.who
explained that he had not placed him
self ona war footing for' the occasion,
the revolver being his customary com
panion in his walks abroad for use in
shooting woodchucks. - The .vigil of the
watchers lengthened wearily ana still
the ; invaders did not appear. Mean
while ' the party listened to the plain
tive voices of the night and discussed
the Rosenthal- removal, the probable
number of votes Teddy would get in
Redding, what would -come of the lat
est roads committee Indian legend
associated with the lake and 1 other
topics,, Finally, one of the - constables.)
went to the depot on a reconnoitenng
trip and on his return reported that
three of the hostiles; were not -going on
the'; lake because they could not find
their boat. . He further reported that
two of them carried guns. As the offi
cers also had guns' they saw no reason
why they should be scared and: at Mr.
Duncan's suggestion returned to the:
depot and arrested the trio bn .war
rant ; furnished them ' by-the : grand
juror. ..:'"-'.'... "' " ,- s '
The prisoners, who made, no offer of
resistance, were' taken; ' jiist ; before
midnight, to the Mulligan residence
where Mr. Mulligan, -who " is also a
lawyer, ; gave them . a thorough, ; pro
fessional questioning. ; They gave the
names of Mead, Hopkjns andArvine
arid owned up to all the . accusations
brought again st them. . They also,
promised not to .offend again ,,if al
lowed to go.- The' tearful statement of
one of them that he had a wife and
child -melted Mrs,, Mulligan. , to, sympa
thy, and ' she offered to, withdraw her
complaint. The grand juror consent
ed, but the liberation of the; prisoners
could not at; once be effected because
two of them had been handcuffed to
gether and the handcuff keys were
missing. The problem was solved by
filing the handcuffs apart. Then Mrs.
Mulligan caused a -Junch to , be- set out
for the repentant offenders and after
wards had her team take them to -their
homes in Bethel. :-; ;
The. recent sale of Elizabeth Sey
mour's west side property to her sis
ter,' Mrs. Caherine Seymour, was at
tended with complications which at
flrst seemed likely . to lead to a law
suit, although such an issue is not now
-probable. The trouble arose through
Bthe owner 'placing the property in the
hands, of - two '.agents, Harry Louns-
bury and , Mrs. J. W. Stimson. At
about the same time the former sold
to a 4 Mrs., Ives - for . $3,000 and Mrs.
Stimson to Mrs. Seymour for $2,400,
Mr. Lounsbury thereupon cabled to
the;owrier. in Europe, as to which offer
she wished to accept and her reply
was to close with the ' Mrs. Ives offer.
Subsequently it appeared, however,
that." Mrs. stimson nas received a
power of attorney from the owner au
thorizing her to sell and convey the
property and also that before "leaving
for Europe JElizaoetn fteymour had ac
cepted $50 from her sister to bind the
bargain. On Monday papers - were ex
ecuted by Mrs. Stimson -conveying the
property to Catherine Seymour. Mrs.
Ives, who is a daughter of Rev. Jo
seph Twitchell of Hartford, is now ne
gotiating for another piece of- prop'
erty in the Umpawaug section.

- The militants said freely -that' tne
