PARKER SAYS THINGS
About Col. Roosevelt and His Speeches
In the Campaign.

Oswego. N. Y, Oct. 26-Judge Alton B.
Parker, in the course of political
speech here tonight, referred at some
length to Col. Roosevelt's remarks con-
corning 1.-The alleged political circular, all
legged to have been mailed by somebody
in Tammany Hall to some alleged per-
son in Wall Street.
THE colonel tells u.s. said Judge Par
ker. the big Roosevelt doctrine Is thou
shalt not steal and that he Is waging a
decent campaign for decency's sake. yet
in the same breath he renews the charge,
that every other citizen of the state
knows is unfounded, that John A. Dix
was part and parcel of the Wall Paper
Trust, which was righteously dissolved
by the supreme court of the United
States. Mr.. Dix solemnly declares the
charge unfounded and baseless.
with that same disregard for fact. the
colonel has declared that the Democratic
party of Connecticut has nominated for
governor former judge. who was man
who took the view that 1t was competent
for the workman, when driven to. accept
any employment, to bind himself not to
be compensated If he lost life or limb in
that occupation. The Democratic candi-
date in that state, Simon Baldwin. Is
known to the legal fraternity as one Of
its most accomplished members.
"He asks the ex-President for re-
traction. If Judge Baldwin you did in
fact make the charge against me. or one
substantially of that character I write
to request that you would ,retract OF. as 1t
is one calculated to affect my standing as
a lawyer. at least among those who do
not know me. as we'll as to prejudice my
position as candidate for public Office.

Baldwin's good name away from him. and
the courts may be invoked to preserve
to the judge what is his own.

walked the earth. We must judge q
man not by what he says, but by what
he does. Senator Lodge has never been
reckoned among those who have
worked for the better trade relations
with Canada other than as an avowed
and open enemy.
II want to ask Senator Lodge these
questions: Whether he and Governor
Draper are ready to take the duties
off raw materials? Are they ready tt
work to have the duties taken of
food products whether Canada does
or not? Is he in favor of the United
States lowering it's tariff wall down
to the level with that of Canada as
an earnest of good intentions? How
does he expect Canada to get down
tn a treaty basis until we show dis
position to meet them half way?
THE United States has persistently
rebuffed Canada and no man has been
more active in this than Senator
Lodge He says that fer 20 years he
has been working to secure reciproc-
ity with Canada. If as a result Of 20
years of labor he is no nearer the &C
complishment of his object then it

In answer to requests for state
ment of his position on the matter OF
direct nominations and direct elections
for United States senators, Mr.. Foss
said:
almost every night during the pres
ent campaign l have placed myself
on record as favoring direct nomfna-
tions for ali offices and direct election
of United States senators by the peo-
pie. I favor the initiative and refer
endum and 1 have for years favored
an income tax because it is the fair
est and most equitable form of tax
alton and puts the burden on those
best able to hear it."
Congressman Foss also spoke at
big rally at Fall River. He was &C
companied this evening by Thomas
F. Cassidy. candidate for lieutenant
governor. Charles >. Hamln ana
