In the theatre the applause was so great that the per l formance was stopped for twenty min utes with the cast of the play unable to proceed.
 While the dinner was in progress police lines were maintained and the crowds were kept out of the square In front of the cafe. Clubs were display
 cd threatsnineiy and some over-zeai- ous spectators were roughly handled.

 Half Hour of Bedinna. After half an hour of bedlam in the theatre, Judge Parker decided the play CTS had been sufficiently lenient. He took his seat and motioned Adler to | proceed and the interrupted act was allowed to proceed.

 At one period In the demonstration,
 some one shouted for Roosevelt, but
 it was at once manifested that this was
 not a Republican gathering. The shouter was hissed long and loud. As the curtain was rung down at
 10:SO, the party left their boxes and
 stated up Grand Street toward a nearby
 restaurant The street in front of the theatre looked as if the whole East
 Side had been turned out of home with
 no place to go but the theatre or the
 cafe. The dinner continued for nearly
 two hours and then the candidate went to his apartments at the Hotel Seville

 Many years have passed since my active participation in politics. In the meantime. a startling change has taken place in the method of conducting cam 2aigns. change not for the better, but for the worse. change that has intro 1Uced chasing and corrupt methods which threaten the integrity of our | Government, leaving 1t perhaps a re- ! public In form but not a republic in ! substance, no longer a Government of | the people by the people for the people l but a Government whose officers are ! practically chosen by the handful of | corporate managers who levy on the as- | sets of the stockholders whom they ] represent, such sums of money as they

 Legitimate COntrihutiOna.
