Ecan control. I thought that perhaps 1t would
be wiser to leave it to those ebler in the WORK
of campaigning to bring to your attention the
salient points OF the party's principles and the
party's platform Not until the savage attack
the President led me to believe that those
leaders masquerading under false colors, those

the Democratic candidate for President was not
the opponent of the trusts he professed 70

when my friend, McKelway, made that specific
charge I'm here to answer that charge, as
am ready to answer any reasonable charge
brought against me or the Republican admin
istration in the State.
PARKER WAS NOT SOLICITED.
Judge Parker underwater of the
United States Shipbuding Company and re-
just the same as I or any other underwater.
He went into that underwriting with no solicit

In 1894, went on the Governor, the Republf-
cans elected Governor Morton, who found an
empty treasury and the people grooming under
S100O0OOO direct taxation and $G,OD,OOo in
direct. Republican laws, framed under Morton,
Black and Roosevelt--and how the people
cheered the Presidents name!-had worked tow
ard the abatement of the direct State tax. In
his administration the legislature had been
able TO do away with it entirely. OF Lieutenant
Governor Higgins Mr.. Odell said:
He's good enough for any man to support.
He's Independent, clean, upright, and he'll be no
mans man, faithful in the discharge of his
dutv and You'll find at the end of his admin

vote but to make a show of force at every
polling place In the city which will show that
Republican workers have assembled to do bat

the State will be carried for Roosevelt and
Higgins.
From Clermont-ave. the Governor went to
Wrights Business College. at No. l43 South
Eighth-st., where he addressed another meet
ing which extended from the auditorium clear
out into the street. He said to his listeners
there practically what he had told the people at
the first meeting.

a right royal welcome. The hall was packed

applause.
The Governor said in closing:
T will only refer further to my statements ION
Judge Parker and the trusts by speaking of the
weak answer made by The Brooklyn Eagle to-

Parker something that cost me nothing. There
