Is Proud of Such Enemies As Root and CrOker
 and McCarren
EXPECTED NOTHING ELSE
 FROM CORPORATE PUPPETS
Also Has Something to Say of Mcclel- Jan, Knox and Taggart, and Says Root Has Disaraced
 His Office. <

New York, November Civilian R. Hearst started out tonight to fulfill the programme mapped out for him by ms campaign managers. The schedule called for thirteen addresses before as many audiences in Brooklyn and in Queens county.
 At his first apeparance, however 1t was evident that the candidate had already overtaxed his vocal organs, and later he wes reluctantly compelled to abandon his purpose of addressing all the thousands who had waited patiently to hear him. Wherever the candidate did go, he met enthusiastic receptions. Crowds cheered his apeparance at many places, and other crowds that hoped to see him, and did not, cheered him just the same
 At the opening meeting in Brooklyn MT Hearst found voice enough to pay his re- spects to Richard Croker, whose cable- gram to Senator McCarren was construed as a condemnation of Tammany Halls endorsement of MT Hearsts candidacy.
 Secretary Root Also Gets His.
 Secretary Elihu Root, who last night attacked MT Hearst at Utca also came in for a severe ararignment. MT. Croker and Secretary Root, the speaker declared. had furnished the most convincing eVl- dence by their recent expressions, that the s'corporation'' elements of the demo- cratic and republican parties were united m their opposition to him because of ms &onsaught upon illegal business com pines.
 Following the theatre meeting MT. Hearst addressed briefly an outdoor gathering, and then spoke at Visitation hall. Here he cut his remarks short in the hops that his voice would hold olH ,lntls.e had at least acknowledged other | greetings. Before his arrival at this gath ering the audience unanimously passed resolutions disappearing of the action of 1,resident Roosevelt in permitting his Jews on New York state politics to be made public by Secretary Root.
 The resolutions concluded
 { We deem it due to the dignity of American citizenship that we should re- sent this fragrant attempt at federal die tation to the electorate of this state, and that we should make known to our ser want in Washington our view of his inter- ference.'
 Makes Fourth Address.
 MT. Hearst's fourth address was made at Prospect hall. which he reachel at 10 o'clock At this time the candidates voice had improved.
 MT. Hearst departed from his prepared speech in one instance to reply to ques- tion from the audience about Murphy MT. Hearst said:
 1T went to the Buffalo convention with 21s votes outside of Greater New York, and Murphy nor any other boss would have dared to oppose me-
 Generally throughout the evennig MT. Hearst confined himself to set speech substantially as follows:
 q was attacked last night by MT. Croker who claimed to represent de- moeracy. and MT. Root, who claimed to represent repubieanism. l know nothing that has tended more clearly to show the truth of my statement that in this cam paign corporation demands and corpora ton combinations were united in support of the corporation lawyer at the head or the corporation ticket.
 Mir Croker, whose ice trust mayor drove out of office endorses McCarren as a noble example of corporation democrat. MT. Root, corporation attorney for the Metropolitan Traction company in the Jake Sharp bribery cases. and for the l whisky trust, the tobacoC trust, the steel trust, the sugar trust, the gas trust, the watch trust and the insurance trust, en- dorse Mr. Hughes corporation attorn/y for the lighting trust, the shipbulding trust the New York, Westchester and Boston franchise grab. ar] the sugar trust.
 Serves His Corporation Masters.
 .'Mr Root today, public official who occupies a high place in the United States government and who should represent the whole people of the United States, regardless of party, has dragged his high position into partisan campaign and into a personal attack in d local situation in order to serve his corporate masters.
 Last year MT. Ryan issued. through Mayor Mcclellan. postal cards bearing libelous and indecent attacks upon me, which the United States government stopped in the mails. This year MT. Ryan puts forth those same indecent and san- derous attacks through his corporation attorney through man who is still his faithful servitor. though in public office and partly paid by the people.
 Tt is natural that MT. Root, who de- tended Boss Tweed, the most corrupt politician of his day, should join hands with Boss Croker the most corrupt poli- tcian of the present day, in support of MT. Hughes. It is natural that MT. Root, who appeared for the Metropolitan Trac- ton company, the Jake Sharp case, and who was himself accused of bribery by four men who testified under oath that he had given them money for their votes, 
 professional brber of the Standard Oil company. the gas trust and the Brooklyn Rapid Transit company, to support MT. Hughes and to oppose me.
 Proud of His Enemies.
 "I have said am proud of the enemies I have made, and am prouder of none than l am of Elihu Root. Boss Croker and Pat McCarren. These men and other corporation tools like them, are the best proof of the truth of what I have said. that the men who are trying to defeat me in this campaign are the men who have been trying to rob you for years.
 MT Root objects to my opposition to Mcclellan. and calls him a worthy heir to an honored name.
 .I say that McClellen has stolen the of ice he now holds. and he knows that he has stolen it. and that the proof of his theft is in those ballot boxes. and 1
