of the state ever since he reached Dun

cause of the character OF those poll
ticians and those from the great busi-

more than one audience to-day. adding
When you see that group OF politicians
and business men all going one way IL Is
pretty safe for the average decent clt1-

Mr.. Roosevelt has told his audiences
the story Of the Rochester convention as
related in the news columns Of what he
- md 6a
has offered TO name them il any one
wlnted him TO. He has told them that
the sO-calIed convention az Rochester
was no convention at all. that the dele
gates represented no one. not even them
selves. but meekIy took their orders from
Boss Murphy Of Tammany Hall when
they received the peremptOry summons.
You're wanted in Room 212." that hav-
in been the number Of the room which
Murphy occupied in the Seneca Hotel at
Rochester.
Tarnany and Wall Street Alliance.
Mr.. Roosevelt has scored the Wall
Street papers in no uncertain terms.
He asserts that these newspaper differ
on1v in non-essentials. but are as one
whenever the interests OF Wall Street
are in real danger, that they stand for
the interests Of the whole people when.
and only when. those interests happen 70
be the same as those OF the whole peo-
pie. but that where the interests OF Wall
Street and the people are at vartanCs
these newsUap ers may always be found
standing by Wall Street and that in this
campaign these newspapers have al
sunk their minor pretudices and followed
Wall Street into the camp OF Tar1many
Hall
Without regard % the fact that they
have all been against Tammany in ths
past whenever only Tammany's inter
ests were involved % he continued. they
are now supporting Tammany with the
heartiest enthusiasm. And Why Be-
cause Wall Street and Tammany have
struck hands
And what does this mean? It means
that the politicians who want favors
from, big business. either for their own
personal advancement or 20 keep their
roIiticaI control. have joined in whole
souled alliance with those sO-called
business men who IN their turn wish 20
control DOuLlCS- bGSAAlCSS A--cLA " llo ~N~-~
10 rise by their own industry do not
want TO control politics There is but
one reason that moves business men 20
control politics. and that is to make
money. not by serving the public out
by swindIing the public"
I'VE have been fighting for the rule OF
the people even within our own party
and we have gained IL. and now We are
nghttng for the rule OF the people IN the
state as a whole" said Mr.. Roosevelt az
Dunkirk. We are fighting against ths
most shameless. crooked politicians that
our state has seen since Tweed was
driven from power We are not only
lighting for the rights OF the people. BUT
we are actually hghting for the interest

He then described how delegates were
ordered 20 and from Murnhy's room az
Rochester. and how they carried OUT
their orders. He referred TO the abase-
