New York, Oct. david Bennett Hill
is to take the stump for Judge Van

cities of the State. He is likely to be

MIR. Hill will arrive in New York early

lutely demand that he shall speak He

vigor that is in him. He will do all In
ms power TO elect the Democratic candi-

Van Wyek's Strength Increasing.
- NOhi Nilt utldllS Dl IHe WOTR ne
Will do have not yet been completed. but
they will be in four five days. and then
ne will go To work.
"Will he speak at the Tammany ratif-
cation meeting and in Brooklyn"
That l cannot answer. You see We are
doing this year just as we have done in
the past in reference 10 the conduct of
tie campaign. We have always found
that he
zation have been able to take care OF the
campaign here. and If they want Mr.. Hill
they can ask and get him.
I'VE up the State will demand that he
F! let us hear him, because there is no man
in the Democratic party today who can
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 10 think.
! They realize that Col. Roosevelt is 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 3
calm. conservative business man. and
that they know Judge Van Wyck ID De.
col Roosevelt showed in his speech
! last night that he is still a soldier and
not business man. New York State is
a great business institution. For its heal
it requires 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 a
the head who can and will set them right.
| cannot see what the campaign in this
State has to do with the Philippines an
increased standing army or other inter
I
cannot settle the affairs OF the nation.
This is only one of forty-tive Statez, 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 w the State government ex-
penses from Sl6.GU0Oe) to So, 600 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 1t is for the poor man up
the State 10 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 dodging
State issues
I'VE offer TO put the State on sound
financial basis and to administer its affairs
economically, not by stinting the people
but by turning money back from the
channels into which 1t is being shame
fully diverted.
