New York, Oct 7-David Bennett Hill

cities of the State. He is likely 20 be
heard in Brooklyn at the big ratification
meeting next week Then Tammany will

lutely demand that he shall speak He

Nan Wyck's Strength Increasing.
"of course the details of the work he
will do have not yet been completed. but
they will be in four or five days, and then
he will so to work"
"Will he speak at the Tammany ratifi-
cation meeting and in Brooklyn
THAT | cannot answer You see We are
doing this year just as we have done in
the past in reference TO the conduct Of
the campaign. We have always found
that Tammany and the Brooklyn organi-
zation have been able to take care OF the
campaign here, and If they want Mr.. Hill
| they can ask and get him.
1--WE up the State will demand that he
! let US hear him, because there is no man
in the Democratic party today who cln
| more clearly and forcibly present the
! questions at issue.
How do you find things up the State?''
Van Wyck is gaining strength every
! day The people are stopping to think.
! They realize that Col. Roosevelt is a good
! soldier, but a good soldier Is not the man
| who is needed to take charge of affairs
! in ALI any. What the people want is a
! calm, conservative business man, and
that they know Judge Van Wyck u be.
/ Col. roosevelt SnOWeQ III MS SpceCIl
! last night that he is still a soldier and
/ not a business man. New York State is
| a great business institution. For its head
it requires a keen business man
State Affairs the Issue.
IF the affairs of a corporation are go
! ing wrong, as the affairs of New York
have been going, we must put a man at
the head who can and win set them right.
! l cannot see what the campaign in this
/ State has TO do with the Philippines an
/ increased standing army or other inter-
/ ests of a national character. New York
! cannot settle the affairs of the nation.
/ This is only one of forty-five States, and
! questions of national policy must be set
! tied by the whole nation.
The question to be settled now is
! whether the Republican or the Democrat
/ ic candidates are better fitted to manage
! New York as a business institution. We
! claim that the Republicans have been eX-
/ travagant; while they increased the reve-
/ nues of the State, they increased the ex-
! penditures out of all proportion. They
have run up the State government ex-
| penses from $16,OO0,0O5 to $23. .0O0, coo. They
/ raised five or six millions by the Raines
| law, and Immediately spent more than
! that in salaries and other things.
We want a man for governor who
! knows how hard it is for the poor man up
the State to earn his dollar and who will
! manage his business for him so that he
will get the greatest possible value for
that dollar. The upstate people are tired
of the men who have increased taxes and
squandered the money thus collected. Col
Roosevelt cannot make votes by lodging
| State issues.
I'VE offer to put the State on sound
! financial basis and to administer it's affairs
| economically, not by stinting the people
! but by turning money back from the
channels into which it is being shame
| fully diverted
