President took advantage OF Judge Far
ker's position at the time. knowing. when
he took it, that Judge Parker was telling
the truth
Mr.. Fulton then eclrred it has since
been proven that the corporations con-
trbuted $150,OOO to the republican cam
paign; that Hartman, after conference
with Roosevelt, raised S263.O0O and turned
it over to George B. Cortelyou. Roose-
velt's campaign manager.
Did the President fay Cortelyou for
accepting this money!" asked the speaker.
Did he kick him out? No. He picked
him outs and placed him at the head of
one of the greatest federal departments
I suppose he will do the same thing for
Chairman Hitchcock
Objects to Roosevelt Way. (.
Mr.. Fulton seriously objected to the part
Roosevelt is playing in the present can
vass He claimed that the President is
forgetting his duty to the citizens of the
United States and is undertaking to use
his great office to crush and wrong Bryan
and other prominent democrats without
any evidence Of facts that will justify
such course.
Mr.. Fulton thinks the President has
gone too far, and that it is time for the
people to rise up and assert themselves
and denounce him.
He told the hundred or so of persons who
had assembled that Roosevelt is trying to
again mislead and deceive the people as
to the real facts, so that he can divert
their minds from the platforms of the two
parties and to turn them to the support
of his picked candidate, Taft.
Amid cheers and handclapping Mr.. Full
ton concluded by saying:
Mr.. Roosevelt finds political senti-
ment arising and sweeping from the re-
publican party to the democratic party SO
strong that 1t strikes terror to heart and
mind of the republican leaders. And to
try to stem that wave Roosevelt and
Candidate Taft proceed to make peace
with these undesirable fellows that Taft
would not couuntenance before he was
nominated, even though it cost him the
presidency of the United States.
And what follows? 4 meeting is held,
as has been told you, and Taft and For
aker come together in regular love
