SPEAKS IN ALBANY, N. Y.

Albany. NJ Y., Oct. 8.--Thcma8 E- Watson. the Peoples Party candIdata for President of the United states. spoke before large audience here to- night in the Empire Theatre under the Auspices of the local committee. Mr. Watson said in part:
 T have been quoted as saying wanted no Republican votes. What | said Is that I wanted the vote of uo man who believed in the principles of the Republican party as represented iu the present system of ciassifications which I am now battling with all tha power I possess. If any Repub1ican believes | am. right. In, Gods name let him vote for me and shall gladly rec ceive bis support, because. while h4 may believe in one thing and in af1~ other. yet If, we agree in sentimsnt and in purpose, we are brothers. and h& should give me his hand and fis he1u in this great fight. am bitterly and eternaI1y opposed to the system Of Eov~ ernment for which the Republican par- ty stands and of which Theodore Roosevelt is champion.
 Would Defhrone RooeeveIt.
 Tn every legitimate way I oppos< him. his party, his policies and it's principles. If I could shoulder ik- then I would strike the blow in the twinkling of an eye, and I am the only candidate in the field who is making war on Republican principles. But as have said so often in this campaign. recognize that the Republican party has the courage of it's convictions and that it's champion is defiant enough to say that he stands pat for the system just as it is and challenges assau1r
 Why Is 1t that l have 10 take up more time In discussing Judge Parker than in discussing Roosevett7 Be- cause Parker lacks the boidnesss tho frankness which Roosevelt po8aHsseHs and backs and niis. and trims and dodges and .evndes and becInud8 all <h4 tssues Of the cassapatgn n the effpFt not to face those issues: while Rcosevekk comes out plainly. clearly, fiatfooted, and says to all the world, This Is what stand for and this is what you are going to get if am elected
 Before Judge Parker should take from me the votes of those people who are opposed to the principles and poll- cies of the Republican party as enun- ciated by Mir. Roosevelt himself. Mfr. Parker should be able to state wherein he diners in principles from MT. Roose- welt. He has had three months to do it in and he has not yet done 1t.
 'srhe Parker campaign Is simply what Bryan declared 1t to be. "a confidence game; play with loaded dice:' cam paign which Inevitably begins with a footrace and will end with a route: . campaign which is the one of false pres lenses. hypocrisy and humbug cam paign which becomes more and moro impossible every day Of it's life and which. IT Mir Parkers attitude of whis- pers, private interviews. evasions, re- fusals to speak, refusing to say what he stands for and what he wants to do. will soon degenerate into a great na- tional joke.
 Those things which the privileged classes want done will be done by eith- CT Roosevelt or Parker. Those things which the unprivileged want done will be done by neither Roosevelt nor Par- ker.
 T stand for those. no matter what they call themselves. Republicans or Populists. who protest against tho present system of class legisIation; [ stand for those who think 1t is wrong and ought to be righted.
 T put 1t sauarely to you. Mfr Voter. and what you will do with it is a mat ter you must decide between your heart, your intelligence. your conscionce and your God"
