Syracuse, N. Y, October o5.-The
campaign grew livelier to-day as The
odore Roosevelt travelled about Central
New York State. Rain fell all day
long. but at every place at which Col
onel Roosevelt stopped crowds OF
moist citizens gathered to cheer him.
Hundreds stood In the rain to hear his
outdoor speeches. and every building
In which he spoke was jammed to the
doors. }s
n his speeches he dwelt particularly
on Roosevelt!sm as an Issue. He told
the people that some business men of
the State we're afraid of 1t. He said
that any fear OF him or Of Henry l.
Stimson. Republican candidate for Gov
ernor. was baseless, and that the alarm
had been raised by Wall Street.
Colonel Roosevelt also replied to
John A. Dix. Democratic candidate for
Governor. who said yesterday that tbs
colonel had misrepresented him bysay-
ting that he had been connected with
!he wall paper combine. The colonei
did not make the apology which Mr..
Dix demanded. He insisted that Mr.
DIX had not shown that he, was not
connected with the trust which the
Supreme Court declared Illegal
Colonel Roosevelt spoke to-day at
Penn Yam, Canandaigua. Geneva. Wa
terloo, Scenery Falls, Auburn and Syr-4
acuse.
The speech tonight was in large
part an appeal to business men not to
be alarmed by Rooseveltism. He began
by reading the circular sent out over
the names OF Charles F. Murphy and the
other members of the Tammany Hail
campaign committee, appealing for
contributions to defeat the Roosevelt
policies"
Appeal to Fear and Greed.
IT Is naked appeal to the power of
the purse" said Colonel Roosevelt, "a
naked appeal to the twin emotions of
fear and greet, and n frank admission
that only by large outlay Of money
will it be possible to beat Mr.. Slim
son. This appeal from Tammany Hall
is@ In substance e. pre- eli ely the appeal
which has been n; made by the great
f1nanciers who desire to obtain or re-
tain improper special privileges. There
has been a deliberate effort on the
part of these business men, who are
crooked, to mislead and frighten their
colleagues who are not crooked. and
especially to mislead and frighten the
small business men by telling that dis
aster impends If StimsonS is elected
Governor. because Stimson is closely
allied with me. and /, forsooth. am a
dangerous man. and especially danger
ious to business.
5.I do not think this appeal has had
as much influence as lat one time
feared, but still 1t undoubtedly has had
a certain influence
"a number of honest business men
|have been affected by the statements
l5of those whom, even IL they distrust,
iSthey look up to as leaders in the
business world, and in consequence
some OF those honest business men
have shown symptoms OF that species
of fright which makes men especially
dangerous"
Colonel Roosevelt Will remain in
Syracuse until II o'clock In the morn
ing Tomorrow lie will go TO the
Northern part of the State, speaking at
| iOEdensburg at night.
