pounded Mr.. Dix on the fundamental |
ground of insincerity. and then lam
basted him for all he was worth. be- |
cause in his estimation Mr. Dix has
overworked his own employees. and is
attached 10 man who IS a persistent
enemy OF child labor laws.
| The colonel did not confne himself
merely 10 swatting Dix. He went after
James b. Olney. head OF the Canned
Goods Packers Association. He fiayed
Mr. Olney on past performances. Since
MIR. Olney has announced his intention OF
! going over TO the side of Dix. the Dem
ocratic candidate received even more
than ordinarily comes 10 him
Mr.. Roosevelt did not talk IN circles
tonight He did not use yelled words to
convey his meaning. He told the Uti-
cans directly that Mr.. Dix is unit 10 sit
| in the governors chair at Albany, and
| that Harry Stimson is the right man 70
elect. The colonel was well received.
Works Men Long Hours.
Candidate Dix was accused Of working
his men in the paper mills twelve hours
a day. The colonel said that Mr.. Dix

and that unless II were true, he should
have denied II right away BY his in

handed down by the Supreme Court Mr..
Roosevelt declared that Mr. Dix has
taken the position that New York has no
power TO prohibit men from working an
excessive number or hours

/ IN the course Of his meanderinEs. OF

comparison with Mr. Murphy. He de-

Replies TO Circular.
| Another circular was handed the colonel |
to-day II was the one sent out bv !
the Democratic State committee, aud was |
signed by Chairman Huppuch. II appeal |
| ed Tor FUNDS on the ground that The |
menace Of ROOseyeltism and his New
Nationalsm hang like a pail over the |
State, paralyzing industry and destroying
| business confidence"
The colonel treated 1t IN much the
same way he has treated the other cir
culars, but he seized the opportunity u /.

trust
IT was Mr. RoOsevelt's birthday to-day. 1
He was tifty-two years old. lie cele-
brated By scrapping more ardently than /
he customarily does whenever he isn't re- 1
ceiving congratulations.
Some one gave him a birthday cake /
with hfty-two flags on H. Harold How /
land carried II into the car and il was 1
devoured voTaoiously by the correspon- |
dents and others
Mr.. Roosevelt made eight speeches to 4
day. He started al Fonda this morning |
and ended AT Utica tonight During 1
most of the day the rain fell steadily /
and the party had 10 fight their way /
through impatient and wet crowds that
had been standing out IN the dOwnpour /
At Gloversvllle and Amsterdam the rush 4
was particularly marked. Luclus Lit /
tauer had the colonel in tow at these |
places.
Child Labor Question.
nished the setting for one Of the col /
oners most pointed thrusts tonight. He
had planned for some time 10 say some |
thing on the labor question. which he |
believes is most vital 20 the campaign |
At Schenectady last week he harped /
upon employers liability just as he has /
done In New Hampshire Massachusetts. /
and in fact, in most every State ne has 1
visited He has appealed direct 70 the /
working man. This was the first time |
however that he has attacked Mr.. Dix /
on child labor or abnormal hours for his /
men.
The colonel told the Gloversville folk |
that he was not the issue Of the cam
paign. and some one laughed
Our opponents think I am" he said. |
| We'll, If il were necessary, l should be |
willing 20 stand comparison between NY
self and Mr. Murphy; but the fight is /
for Harry Stimson and decency in the |
administration Of affairs at Albany.
Fundamentally. the issue in the cam |
paign this fall Is the workshop against 1
the bucketshop. Wherever you find |
little center of dissatisfaction with the |
Republican ticket you viii find II springs |
from correspondence of the bucketshops /
or from people affected by the ticker 4
crowd in New York. That is the literal /
truth"
Defends OsawatOmie Speech.
There was burst of rather unexpected |
applause when Mr.. Roosevelt referred TO |
the New Nationa!ism to-day. He said |
he wished his critics would say Just /
what he said I'm his Osawatomie speech. /
'T would like them to understand" he 1
said. not only that | stand by every /
word of 1t. but that the people OF this !
| country are sure 10 stand by it. too, /
just as rapidly as they understand it"
He then spoke about equality of oppOr- |
tunity for all men. So far as the CEN /
tralizatiOn of power that is charged /
against him. hfr. Roosevelt declared he /
| isn't for II. He's for national power: for /
genuine popular rights.
The day Of travelling in the wet was /
not hampeTed by a lack of enthusiasm, /
for Mr. Roosevelt was received heartily /
most everywhere. His first address was /
from trolley car at Fonda. 1t had been /
planned that he would travel in motors !
this morning, but at the last moment |
they changed the plans, and chartered a /
special trolley car.
Lucius Littaur introduced the colonel at \
Gloversville and spoke so long that he /
stole most of the cOlOnel's thunder. He 1
said many nice things. though. Amster- /
dam turned out a crowd that contained I
n arly the whole population and Am /
sterdam whcoped joyfully at the coloners /
entrance to the town.
From Little Falls the colonel motored /
over the muddy roads to Utica. where he I
was not received by Mr.. Sherman Sena- /
tor Root had come over here from his 4
home IN Clinton this afternoon in the /
hope that he might see Mr. Roosevelt, I
but he was unable 10 wait until the colo /
mel arrived. and went away without see
ing him.
Tomorrow is the last day Of the trip /
The upstate Roosevelt tour will end at |
