 Himself With Boss
ANSWERS SPEECH OF ROOT


 the program mapped out for him by his campaign msnagers. The schedule called for thirteen addresses before as many audiences in Brooklyn and in Queens county.
 At his first experience. however. 1t was evident that the candidate had already overtaxed his vocal organs and later he was reluctantly com pelled to abandon his purpose of ad- dressing all the thousands who had waited patiently to hear him. Wher- ever the candidate did go, however, he met enthusiastic receptions. Crowds cheered his appearance at many places and other crowds that happened to see him and did not hear him, cheered for him just the same.
 At the opening meeting in Brook lyn MT. Hearst found voice enough to pay his respects to Richard Croker. whose cablegram to Senator McCarren was construed as a condemnation of Tammany Halls endorsement of Mr. Hearst's candidacy.
 Secretary Elihu Root who last night attacked Mir. Hearst at Utica also came n for severe ...raignment. MT. Croker and Secretary Root. the speak CT declared, had furnished the most convincing evidence by their recent expressions that the corporation" ele- ments of the Democratic and Republi- can pdTtleS tuelf OpPOSitIoii to him because of his onslaught upon illegal combinations.
 Following the theatre meeting MT. Hearst addressed briefly an outdoor gathering and then spoke at Visitation Hall. Here he cut his remarks short n the hope that his voice would hold out until he had at least acknowledged other greetings. Before his arrival It this gathering the audience imme- iiately passed resolutions disapprov- ing of the action of President Roose- yelt in permitting his views on New York State politics to be made public oy Secretary Root. The resolutions concluded:
 Resent Attempt at Dictation.
 We deem 1t due to the dignity Of American citizenship tbat ~4! sIoald resent this fragrant attempt at federal dictation to the electorate of his State and that we should make known to our servant in Washington our view of his interference.
 MT. Hearst's fourth address was made at Prospect Hall. which he reached at 10 o'clock. At this time the candidates voice had improved.
 Mir. Hearst departed from his pre- pared speech in one instance to reply tn d question from the audience about Murphy"
 Mir. Hearst said: T went to the Buffalo convention with 213 votes out side of Greater New York and Mur phy nor no other boss would have dared to oppose me"
 Generally throughout the evening z Mr. Hearst confined himself to a SC: speech substantially as follows:
 T was attacked last night by MT Croker, who claimed to represent De ,nocracy and Mr. Root, who claimed ,lI lr, nothing that has tended more clearly to show the truth of my statement that in this campaign corporation Democrats and corporation ,:epubli- cans were united in support of the corporation lawyer at the head of, tn corporation ticket.
 Mir. Croker, whose ice trust mayo I drove out of office, endorses McCar ren as a noble example of corporation Democrat. MT. Root, corporation at torney for the Metropolitan -:actiou Company. in the Jake charp bribery cases and for the Whiskey Trust, tn Tobacco Trust. the Steel Trust. the Sugar Trust. ihe Gas Trust. the Watch Trust and the Insurance Trust. en- dorses MT Hughes, corporation attor ney foi the Lighting Trust, the Ship building Trust. the New York. West. chester and Boston fran"hice grat and the Sugar Trust.
 ~.: Roots False Position.
 MT. Root today, a public official wh, occupies high place in the United States Government. and who should represent :he whole people of thu United States. regardless of party, hal. dragged his high position into par tisan campaign and into persona uttack in a local situation In order tt serve his corporate masters.
 Last year MT. Ryan issued through Mayor Mcclellan postal cards bearing lbelous and indecent attacks upon m. which the United States Governmen stoppcd in the mails. This year Mi Ryan puts forth those same indecen and slanderous attacks through hi corporation attorney, through a mar who Is still his faithful servitor. thoug ir public office, and partly paid by tn, people.
 Tt Is natural that MT. Root, who de tended Boss Tweed. the most corrup politician of his day. should jcin hand with Boss Croker. the most corrup politician of the present day, in sup port of MT. Hughes. IL is natural tha Mir Root, who appeared for the Metro polltan Traction Company. the Lax, Shn~n nps s and who was himself ac rrsed of bribery by four men who tes tifitd under oath that he had givei
  them money for their votes. shoutC unite with Patrick MrCarren, the pro fessional bribCr of the Standard Oi Company. the Gas Trust and the Brook lyn Transit Company, to support MT Hughes and to oppose me
 Proud of Enemies. "I have said l am proud of the enc mics I have made, and l am prouder Q none than I am of Elihu Root, Bos Croker and Pat McCarrcn.
 These men and other corporation | tools like them. are the best proof 0 the truth of what I have said, that tn men who are trying to dofeat me l. | this campaign are tn" mon who hay | been trying to rob you for years. 'Mr. Root objects tp my oppOsitio | tC Mcclellan and calls him a worth l heir to an huuOrcd name.
 II say that Mcclellan has stolen tn office he now holds and he knows tha he has stolen it: and that the proc of his theft is in those ballot boxe and I challenge him now to allow thos | ballot boxes to be opened and thos votes to be honestly counted.
