Democratic candtdate TOT GoNehh"i oA New York. and United States Senator elect Isidor Raynor of Maryland. spoke here tonight at a mass meeting held in Carnegie Hall under the auspices of the College Mems Parker and Davis League. William B. Hornblower was introduced as the presiding omcer He said in part:
 We are prepared to meet our op- ponents upon every proposition which thev have chosen to make an issue in this campaign and we claim that on each of those propositions the Repubii- cans represent not the standpoint Of intelligence, but exactly the opposite: that on the contrary the standpoint or the Democrats upon those propositions |, the standpoint of intelligence, pa- triotism and virtue.
 ..rhe President himself, although university graduate and man whose early career was one of cultivation ana studiousness and who before he became politician, an ofiice holder ana an off1ce seeker, was by conviction not onIv opposed to high protectionism but an output of free traders, now lowers himself to the level of the English country squire of the last century to whom Adam Smith. Golden and John Stuart Mill were most visionary the orists. fat
 sneern at College Professors.
 'rThe President, for the sake of keep ing himself in office, appeals not 10 the intelligence, but to the ignorance not to the conscience, but to the pre1u- dice of the people by sneering at COT Iage nrofessors and at those who have made a lifelong study of political economy"
 Senator -elect Raynor was then intro- duced. He was cheered for several minutes, and some one cried. Three cheers for Admiral Schley's lawyer The cheers were given several times. Senator Raynor said In part: l MT. Raynor took issue with the He- pubiicans on the prosperity argument admitting that there Is period Of ousi- ness revival with the classes, but deny | ing that 1t extended to the masses. | 'sThere is no general prosperity" he continued, among the millions of those | toilins for the necessities of life, with | whom high prices are a bane and not | A blessing The artificial prosperity that Republican speakers are dwelling | on is all confined within contracted l quarters in commercial centres, while | the great body of the American people | are not nearly as contented and pros- | porous as they have been during Demo- cratic ascendancy. Assuming high prices are, a benefit and advantage which I deny, Republican Legislation has not brought this about except | among the trusts and industries which 1t has favored with It's legisla- tion."
 Taft as AuctioneeR.
 Mir. Raynor advised Secretary Taft | to make an attempt to auction the l Philippines. Let him call at some | desirable spot an international sale"
 said the speaker. and see how much
 he can get for them. Let them be thoroughly advertised to be sold with
 out reserve, the people toNgo with the | territory Taft Is the man for auc-
 tioneer His thorough familiarity with
 the subject will enable him to dilate | with glowing emphasis on the beauty
 and attractions of the pearls of the sea.
 'I tell you that I do not believe they
 will bring a dollar in the markets of | the world As a financial transaction
 they are about as valuable to us as the | Dead Sea or the Desert of Sahara. | These islands are ours by conquest, but
 we have never been at war with them. but at war with their oppressors. There
 is no moral duty devolving upon us at
 the sacrifice of blood and treasure to
 take them under our protection They
 want their own government and I say l give it to them"
 Mir Raynor declared that the Repub-
 lican party was in partnership with the
 protected interests and that prohibitive l duties are crimes against the constitu- | tion. He believed the time had come l when protected capital must make con-
 sessions to the midde classes and the ! poor, and when this country must have
 commercial intercourse with the trad
 ing nations of the earth.
 The Senator elect discussed the
 respective candidates for the Presiden-
 cy. saying: "Our candidate reflects the
 traditions of his party. He is a man | of peace as against a man of war; a
 man of law and order. as against man
 of impulse and of agitation. He be-
 Neves as we believe fin the restrictions | of the constitution. He is opposed to l executive dictatorship and usurpation.
 He considers that we have sufficient
 domain of our own to govern without l nroseIvting the world to the tenets of | our faith and amalgamating with us | forei1u hordes. uncongenial to our in
 stitutions.
 'Mr. Roosevelt undoubtedly possesses a great many high and commenable traits | o,,arr,,he1minRly overbalanced by his
 ,r,nerTec,ions and if he should be given
 another extension of office he would
 rnt hesitate if he could increase his oy,,r Iustre or renown to distract us
 with internal disquietude and to entan-
 gle us with contentious in every sec
 tion and quarter of the globe where he | could And A pretense for interference,
 or an outlet for the display of his tempestuous and turbulent ambition"
 MT Rayner referred to the schley oose announcing his determination to
 imneach this iniduitous conviction and show that this verdict ought to be oh1,terated from the pages of Ameri- can history and concluded with this Turther reference to President Roose- welt:
 | ,hs character of President Roosevelt, n,,hiie or private. He is a man of hirh motives, unimpeachable integrity | ana unfinching courage. He Is. never theiess, an autocrat and a tyrant The prfncIpal objection that ] have to him
