 publican Committee
DIX MAKES NUMBER OF
 CAMPAIGN SPEECHES
Democratic Candidate Takes Another Rap at Roosevelt in the Matter of Dodging the Issues of the
 Campaign

New York, November s.-Mayor Gay
 nor sh ot out another tart, terse little letter tonight in which he advises Ezra Prentice, chairman Of the republican
 state committee, ito pray every morn ing for a while for God to direct you to tell the truth and see what fruits 1t will bear"
 Chairman Prentice recently Issued a
 statement in which he said he had re- liable information that Mayor Gaynor had favored the nomination Of Supreme Court Justice Martin Keogh as governor rather than John'A Dix. This was in
 refutation of statement issued by the mayor that MT. Dix had been his choice. In his letter MT. Gaynor says:
 Tt would be a good thing for you to stop putting out false statements, even though you cannot get your campaign speakers to do the like. I never fa-
 vored the nomination of Judge Keogh for governor, nor was he a candidate for governor, so far as l know. 1 never
 knew dividend to be got out of a false statement yet. l suppose, very naturally, that the other statements of fact in your published sta1s4s..nt are equally false Suppose you pray every
 morning for a while for God 10 direct you to tell the truth. and see what | fruits it will bear"
 | MT. Prentice said tonight he had not
 received the mayors letter and would
 make no comment until he had. He add
 ed however. that his information con-
 cerning Justice Keogh may have been
 wrong.

 democratic nominee for governor, preached the doctrine of republican
 extravagance," tariff and tax reform
 and the high cost of living tonight
 through New YorlSs crowded Eastside
 He campaigned by automobile through

 final shot at Theodore Roosevelt
 In all MT. Dix addressed five meet 1 ings. The evenings work followed an
 afternoon spent in Brooklyn and Staten
 Island where he held two receptions
 and attended two assemble ges. -s5.e
 At rally at Cooper Union tonight
 MT. Dix said:
 sIt is time when we must set our
 selves squareiy- before the people and
 mpst tosethar direct our energies against
 innqercfsf which interfere with civil rirnfg pr (which may interfere with pro- eressl 7fitizenship. voice the hope of ever lq4nl citizen when I say a rebuke
 must fsregistered against any admins-
 traton which deprives the citizen and
 taxpeysF of the rights and privileges of a g4yernment for and by the people. fne!5 r1Ghts and privileges must not be l weats6ned or destroyed. The opposing par fy h9s promised the people of this
 couhffy that the tariff should be changed SO That the burden may rest lightly upon | tnoftS Nho toi That promise has not l pe91 1ld1led and we are today living l und e 6ondftions which do not give proper re9ifG1 to6fhe welfare of the American wor man. The income of wages re- | ceYxG .by tue average man scarcely per- | mf9 Ihxm to pay for the actual necessities | of lHr fof his family and himself. He can }0n&er set aside for the rainy day. 4H7fp oR1re to come, the money essen tlal n N<kl1ng for his old age for times of
 sicknes1 and trouble.
 | AsioeS from this high cost of all the
 necessitisfs of life we are bearing bur den or taxation due to the extravaganza and corrulption prevailing at the capital at Albany We have reached time when
 reform and retrenchment must be had: reform in ou,v systems and retrenchment | in the expenses of state government. This cannot be accomplished by the eff forts of those Who are guilty of causing this extravagancae."
 l The candidatess speeches at the other l halls were along the same line. At the New Star Casino An Harlem he reverted I to his attack on Ccslonel Roosevelt. | My opponents ntpminator, who is con- | ducting all there Is to this campaign on | the republican side" rNe said wishes to | have you forget and overlook the record | of the republican party in this nation and state. He tries to lead yo n aside into the | discussion of questions Which are of | trivial importance and of nap consequence | in this campaign.
 1 .'Ie wishes you to turn from the vital
 questions of the fight: the h>,gh cost ofj | living, which comes home to evNery house Il | bold: the necessity for an ho~est andl downwa ard revision of the tariff the need for which even the republicans >sonfess. and in which they have just ignomiia aously
 failed in the Payne-Aldrich bill: -+he 1 frightful extravagance and disgraceful> corruption on the public life which have | just been brought home to our opponents. These and other matters of like impor- tance, he hopes. you may overlook. and while he tells you he was the disccverer 1 of truths that were known by Moses | thousands of years ago, he has not dis- | cussed any real issues. He tries to satis- | fy you with abuse and noise, but have l too high an estimate of your patriotism and intelligence to- think he will suc~ | ceed,"
