Meeting Says That He Makes
Charges Against Hearst with
President Roosevelt's Authority"

utica, N. Y, Nov. "A bitter de-
nunciation OF VIM. r. Hearst, which
the speaker said, has the full and
complete endorsement of President
Roosevelt was delivered in a public
address here last night by Secretary
of State Elihu Root. At the same
time, Root paid an eloquent tribute
to Charles E. Hughes and announced
that he was authorized to say that
the president greatly desires the cleo
tion Of Hughes as governor of New
York.
81 say to you, with President
Roosevelt's authority said Root,
that be regards Hearst as wholly
unfit to be governor, as an insufficient,
self-seeking demagogue, who is try-
ing to drive the workingmen Of New
York by false statements and false
promises and say. to you, with his
authority, that he considers that
Hearst's election would be an injury
and q discredit alike to honest labor
and to honest capital and a serious
injury to the work in which he is
engaged OF enforcing just and equit-
able laws against corporate wrong
doing. President Roosevelt and
Hearst stand as far apart as the poles
are asunder. Listen to what Presi-
dent Roosevelt has said Of Hearst and
his kind in the presidents message
to congress. In speaking of the assas-
sination Of Mckinley, he spoke of him
as 'infiamed by reckless utterances of
those who on stump and in the pub
lie press, appeal to dark and evil
spirits of malice and greed, envy and
sullen hatred. The wind is sowed by
men who preach such doctrines and
they cannot escape the responsibility
for the whirlwind they have reaped.
This applies alike to the deliberate
demagogue, to the exploiter Of SEN
sationa1ism and to the crude and fool
ish visionary, who for whatever rea-
son apologies for crime or excites
saimless discontent.'
Il say. blythe presidents authority
that In opening these words with the
horror Of President cKinley's s muir
der fresh before him, he had Hearst
specifically IN his mind. And say,
by his authority that what he
thought Of Hearst then, he thinks Of
Hearst today. 4 NJ
