ROBERT S. FISHER'S
TOUR IS PROVING SUCCESSFUL
PROGRESIVE CANDIDATE HAS BEEN EVERYWHERE WARMLY RE

FIGHTING MANPLACES PRINCIPLES HIGH ABOVE PERSONAL
AFFAIRS COMMENDED BY PARTY AND OPPOSITION PRESS.
PHOENIX, Oct 15. Robert S, Fish
er, candidate lor congress, returned to
this city from the south yesterday
morning having covered about two
thirds of his itinerary in the state
-.campaign. Everywhere he has receiv
ed a most cordial reception. He has
proven himself a whirl-wind campaign
er and has established a state-wide
.reputation as a fighting man. Talking
at times to calm assemblies in halls,
at other times to boisterous crowds
outside, he has in each case made his
message clear and forcible. He has
pjaced the principle so high above the
personal In his campaign for congress
that everywhere he has been commend-,
e4 both by party and opposition press.
Starting in .the city of Phoenix with
the largest crowd ever accorded a lo
cal candidate, he next went to Yava
pai county and addressed two great
meetings at Prescott and Jerome,
-which were said by the local manager
to. be the strongest campaign address
e$ ever delivered In that vicinity. Next
he followed the northern line of" the
Santa Fe throughout the mining coun
try, the sheep, cattle and 'lumber' coun
tries, directing; his message in each
of these places to the bettering of Il
eal conditions. His words were heard
w(th great interest Always avoiding
bitter personalities, he has hammered
at;, the basic facts without regard to
who might be in the way.

there he found an overwhelming sen

government in closing the Paris money
market to the belligerant Balkan
states. The Bulgarian minister' had
sought a loan of $4,000,000 from Paris
bankers. He was not only 'refused,
but his application1 for even ?1,000,000
was denied promptly.
WILLIAM J. BRYAN
IS STILL FAR AFIELD
It should be borne in mind by those
persons who may have been impressed
by the speeches recently delivered by
William J. Bryan, that they will be
unable-to recall a single word or ar
gument in favor of Professor Wilson
that is not applicable in a much great
er degree to Roosevelt. In fact, Bry
an was singularly free from adulation
of Wilson,, employing most of his time
in praising the Democratic platform,
of which he is alleged to be the au
thor. But the platform Is just as weak as
the Democratic nominee, particularly
when it is remembered that it declares

gressive party has the only sound ?o
l;tion for the pioblem of tariff and
the high cost of living.
But It remained1 for the mining coun
try in the south, including Santa Cruz
and Cochise counties to give tne can
didate the greatest reception of his
trip so far. He showejl how Wilson's
entire record proves him oblivious ot
the real needs of the people who toll,
and unconscious of the industrial prob
lems of the age. He told the miners
in Bisbee of his own early life, when
by hard labor with his hands he had
earned bread, and put tnem at once
upon ease with the feeling'that he un-
-aerstood their-problems-.' He -"was re'
ceived with hearty applause and scores
of persons stood up in addition to
those seated while for more than an
hour he told them of the great truths
of the Progressive party.
As the later days of the campaign
are passing, it becomes more and
more apparent that the great mass .of
the common people are remembering
that Roosevelt has always been their
Jong time friend. To Arizona he has
been a faithful helper. The two great
irrigation projects of the Salt River
and Yuma valleys bespeak his unflag

It is to the glory of Mr. Roosevelt
that, with this the plain portrait of
what influences have for twenty years
controlled the Republican party, he
has exhibited virtues which in their
integrities haven't been In fashion
since 1776.
Mr. Roosevelt is wholly honest. -And
his honesty goes to the mark.
No self Interest would serve either
to deflect or abate It.
Half the opposition oratory and
more than half the cartoons sneer at
Mr. Roosevelt for his exaltation of
the physical.
It is as though they thought that
bodily health was an offense and that
In what concerns the public only the
sick are to be counted as among the

Divided by the Bathtub
No friend of Mr. Roosevelt will con
tradict these orations criticise these
cartoons.
Let it be granted thenj that the big
difference between Mr. Roosevelt and
a Cheyenne is a difference of bathtub,,
tailors and cooks. Let it go at that.
In the sense physical he is fairly
a white Indian. And with the last
that is not detraction, but encomium.
Mr. Roosevelt can reason, can de
cide. He can likewise strike. Also,
the latter, as a method of disputation,
has been found convincing where the
other failed.
Go back to the middle '80s for the
Roosevelt Albany story.
It was the Roosevelt story in New
York, In Washington, at Santiago.
It will continue to be the Roosevelt
story and this should color the gen

death writes "finis" beneath the Roose

A Tammany member became dis

oratory. The Tammany one expressed
views in whispers concerning Mr.
Roosevelt which, on the Bowery, would

heard the whispers.
"I shall see you presently in the cor

Mr. Roosevelt did see the Tammany

Later the smitten one lay in his bed

He stood speechless at the other't

"What would you do?" moaned the

Again in a committee room there
came triumph to the physical. A bill
was before the committee which th
railroads did not like. The "orders'
were to "bottle it up."
Three vs. "Railroad Eight"
There were three on the comraittet
opposed to that "bottling." These
were Mr. Roosevelt, an aged agricul
turist from Herkimer, and a young
Democrat from Brooklyn.
The honest trio were helpless af
against a railroad eight.
Mr. Rosevelt reminded the eight
that their "bottling" would excite -suspicion.
They grinned a dry grin, but
svere- not otherwise moved.
"Let me see that bffl a moment,"
;ald Mr. Roosevelt to the clerk of the
committee.
, The request was proffered with all
imaginable sweetness. The bill was
handed over. Mr. Roosevelt buttoned
it inside his coat
"My friends," he observed, address
ing the railroad eight, "it is railroad
money which keeps this measure from
being reported to the assembly. I've
got it in my pocket.
"Unless a majority agrees instantly
to report it, I shall take It Into the
assembly and make a minority report.

PRESENTS HISTORY
"The third term party," and the
'third termer" are epithets intended to
oe opprobrious, applied to the Progres
sive party and its standard, bearer.
This Is not a sensible argument
against the fitness of Colonel ' Roose
velt for the presidency. It is an ap
peal and a very foolish one to popular
prejudice. The presidency of the Unit
d States is not a prize to.be handed
iround to the greatest possible num
ber of American citizens. If that were
30, the tenure of office would be lim
ted to, say, a year, a month, or, per
saps, a day, the presidency being re
.trlcted to a single term. Thus the
iream of every citizen of becoming
resident wouM be brought nearer real
zation. But what the American people
.vant is fitness and efficiency. We
an conceive of a situation in which-a
bird consecutive term would not be
i good thing. But a third term of a
.resident who so enjoys the confidence
jf his countrymen as to be able to
secure it, after an interval of four
years, would bring, into the office an
experience and a ripe judgment that
would be beneficial to the nation.
This matter is very ably presented
by the New York Globe as follows:
"Is the rule or tradition against all
third terms or merely against consecu
tive third terms? It is difficult to
avoid the conclusion that Colonel
Roosevelt, historically, has the better
of the argument.

"Grant answered that it did not by
becoming a candidate for non-consecutive
third term. Cleveland answered
that it did not by making no secret of
his willingness and desire for a non
consecutive third term. Roosevelt is
thus following precedent rather than
violating it. All the two-term presi
