Roosevelt Strikes Back at Men Turned Him Down in Empire State.
Supports Sherman's Enemy on Western Tour—Plenty of Sensations on First Day of Journey.
New York, August 24.—In yesterday's speech Roosevelt placed himself directly in opposition to Vice-President Sherman. Roosevelt endorsed State Senator Frederick Davenport, an out-and-out progressive. The speech was a direct slap at Vice-President Sherman and the other politicians who defeated him for the temporary chairmanship at a recent meeting of the executive committee of the Republican party in New York State. Roosevelt's stand for Davenport is because Sherman said recently it was a blow at Sherman and his friends who would not support Davenport. Roosevelt spoke on the conservation act, and dwelt with emphasis on what he said was the necessity of electing better men to office. His tour is intended as far as Cheyenne.
