President Roosevelt and Mr. Hearst
stand az far as the poles asundcr. Listen
Ia what President Roosevelt himself has
said Of Mr. Hearst AMI his kind. In PresI-
dent HOOSeN elt's first message to Congress,
in speaking OG the assassin OF Mckinley,
he spoke Of him as lnfiamed ''by the reck.
less utterancps OF those who. on the stump
ami In the public press. appeal 20 the dark
and evil spirits o. malice and greed, envy
and suIlcn hatred. The wind Is sowed b.
the men who preach such doctrines, and
they canno cscane their share OF espsnsI
bIIiIy for the whIrlwind that Is rezped.
This applies alI,e 10 the deliberate dema-

Secretary Of State Elihu Root came to
this the chief city of his native county
tonight to deliver a message from Presi-
dent Roosevelt to the voters of New York
g..g. NJ .l-...1 ----- u-.ul-l
into the Majestic Theatre TO hear him speak
from the same platform with Charles T.,
Hughes, the Republican GubernatoriaI
nominee.
II was a srea, speech and il made a strong
impression or his audience. Root is adj
mired and boloved by the people of Oneida
county and his coming here tonight as TIN
spokesman of the President Of the United
states concerning the vital issues presented
'a the people of the Empire state at this
i &c was a compliment TO his former neigh
1urs which they received with apparent
appreciation.
He spoke in a calm voice but brought out
the most telling points of his address in q
manner which aroused his audience to
Wild enthusiasm.
Secretary Root spoke with great earnest
ness. His Characterization of Hearst as a
d~ernagogue found a ready echo with his
hearers, and his review Of Mr.. HuRhes's
work in the insurance investigation brought
applause that was eloquent Of the sentiment
pervading the audience.
Mr.. Roots references to the trusts and TO
corporate w~rongdoing were followed closely
by his hearers, and his words dealing with
President Roosevelt's efforts in curbin9
lawless combinations in the interest OF the
people were received with enthusiastic ap-
probation.
But what Mr.. Roots audience awaited
with the greatest interest was his arraign~
ment Of Hearst's alliance with Murphy
in securing the Democratic nomination at
Buffalo and his record in Congress. Their
expectations were fully realized on this
score, as Secretary Roots denunciation OF
Hearst waS Of a scathin9 nature.
During the speakers reference to Hearst's
record in Congress, and while he a. quoting
from official papers to show Hearst's lack
of interest in behalf of his constituents,
the first Of two untoward incidents occurred.
Mr.. Root war producing fgares giving the
number Of times Hearst had missed roll
calls in the lower branch Of Congress when
a man in the CALLER. jumped to his feet and
cried: That's a liel" The crowd shouted
for bis removal, bat Mr.. Roo asked the
policeman to permit him 10 remain. and the
speaker soon showed hii interrupter how
he was laboring under Il misapprehension
Of the facts.
When Mr.. Root referred to Hearst and
mis- newspapers AZ being responsible in large
measure for the assassination OF Mckinley
