MAKES STRONG SPEECH
Judge Parker Cheered at COun-

General.

Binghampton. n. Y, Sept 1.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Gov. Odell were
the main points of attack in former
Senator David B. Hills address at the
Broome county fair at Whitney Point
Yesterday. The slap at the governor
was made in reference to Senator De
pew's candidacy for reelection, when
Mr.. Hill said:
Decent men of all parties would
greatly prefer him to the CRATER and
groceryman now at the head OF the re-
publican organization in this state,
who speculates in the securities OF
trusts and takes his chances, and then
squeals on his associates to induce
them TO share his own losses.
Declares President Directs.
The present campaign on the part
of the republicans, Mr.. Hill declared,
lis one of humbug and false pretenses
peculiarly Rooseveltish in all its es-
sentiaI characteristics The presi-
dent and his late private secretary, he
said, directed every detail, ignoring
old and experienced political mana
gers. In line with what he declared
was the presidents plan TO reach the
public through magazine writer's, Mr..
Hill cited "a recent article by William
Allen White on How Roosevelt I'm
covered the Postal Frauds" He said
it was an effort to convince the people
that the president was not responsible
for the postal frauds in his admins
tration, and that, notwithsi 4hdinS his
long neglect to prosecute them, he was
really the exalted instrument which
exposed them. If the article was not
dictated at the white house, the speak
er declared, it was at least inspired
there. 1t would fail of its purpose,
however, because it is not true.
Also Hits Both Senator's.
Continuing, Mr.. Hill said:
In extolling the president an attack
is made upon the two republican Unit
ed States senators from this state
Platt and Depew. Here is what is
said:
"'When it (the investigation touch
ed the presidents friend and political
sponsor, State Senator Green of Bing-
hamton, and when he was about to be
indicted for crookedness, the two SEN
ators from New York and every prom
fnent republican in the state begged
for mercy, and then threatened Presi-
dent Roosevelt for allowing BristOw to
indict, Green
'If true. this virtually accuses our
two republican United States senators
and also every prominent republican
in the state with a crime. But it up
lifts Roosevelt, and he apparently de
lights to be exalted at the expense of
others. 1t is believed the charge is
utterly groundless. Being false in one
essential particular. the whole article
should be disCredited.
IF Senator Green. or Senators Platt

ened President Roosevelt because of
Senator Green's indictment, it was the

pic record, which is also regarded as
the worlds record. He first lifted 200

justed at 246 pounds. four ounces more
