Out West?" "Well, only for the purpose of being born, and brought up. I used to live in Crawfordsville, and then Indianapolis." "Indianapolis is bound to be a great place," said Dryfoos. "I remember now, Mr. Fulkerson told me you was from our State." He went on to brag of the West, as if March were an Easterner and had to be convinced. "You ought to see all that country. It's a great country."
I think he was hot and the suit case was getting heavy.... At any rate when he saw that grass, tall, dark green and fragrant, he immediately lay down on it, pulled his hat over his eyes and, I expect, went to sleep. It sounds so free and easy written down. Which makes it no less significant. First, it was significantly Western. An Easterner or a Middle Westerner would have thought it over first.
When he looked up, it was to see Masten standing rigid, watching him, wrath on his face. "I suppose I'm to stand here and freeze while you sit over there and laugh your fool head off!" shouted the Easterner. "I've got some dry clothing in my trunk on the wagon, which I might put on, if I could induce you to hurry a little." "Why, shucks. I come mighty near forgettin' you, Willard," said the rider.
The rider halted the pony and sat loosely in the saddle, gravely contemplating the driver across the sea of mud that separated them. "Why, you ain't froze yet, are you!" he said in pretended astonishment. "Your mouth is still able to work considerable smooth! An' so you want to ride my horse!" He sat, regarding the Easterner in deep, feigned amazement.
Tell you the West is going ahead." "It has been a skin game from start to finish, pullman, baggage, hotels, everything. And how much of the West have we really seen? Not a glimpse of it. We had all seen these Western cities before. They are not the West. They are bits of the East taken up and set down in the West. How is the Easterner to see the West?
"But-but," you say, trying to collect your wits against this left-handed compliment, "I don't think I differ from the average Easterner." "Oh, yes, you do. You don't notice it yourself, of course. But I give you my word, nobody will ever suspect that you are an Easterner unless you tell it yourself. They really won't."
He now seemed all eagerness; his eyes glowed. "We'll let them fight," he answered, stalwartly. "I can't put up with it any longer. I've stood this damned Swede till I'm sick. We'll let them fight." The men prepared to go out-of-doors. The Easterner was so nervous that he had great difficulty in getting his arms into the sleeves of his new leather coat.

Tell us about what he did." The Easterner gave her a look, and Bella, seeing it, chimed in: "Yes, sure. Tell us about his crime." Pete stood up and rolled another cigarette. Try as he might to steady his fingers, they trembled. He had never heard Hugh's story. He did not want to hear it.
Roosevelt made a short speech, in which he adjured his hearers to go to their several homes "to find out the sentiment of the people at home and then again come together, I suggest by mass convention, to nominate for the Presidency a Progressive on a Progressive platform that will enable us to appeal to Northerner and Southerner, Easterner and Westerner, Republican and Democrat alike, in the name of our common American citizenship.
