CANDIDATE STIMSON'S
kAST APPEAL TO VOTERS.
Dix Trying to Ride Into Office on the
High Price of Living Issue-Demo-
cratic Candidate lnsincere.

New York, Nov. 6.-The republican
nominee for governor. Henry l.. Slim
son, gave out a typewriter form to-
night which he called his last appeal
be his last public utterance Of the cam
paign, for both he and Theodore
Roosevelt will be dinner guests tomor-
row night of the Hungarian Republican
club on the East Side.
Campaign Issues Clear Cut.
Tonight his statement says in part:
The issues of the campaign are now
clear cut. On our side we stand for
progress, for taking up the policies Of
the administration of Governor Hughes
and carrying them forward. We stand
for an efficient state government, doing
it's duty to the individual citizen and
standing as the surest safeguard
against undue federal extension. We
believe in keeping the public service
corporation out of politics and regu-
lating it in the interest of the citizens
and the public. We believe in the moro
efficient administration of our labor
laws, in better protection of the lives
and limbs of our wor6npan in our fac
tories and upon our railroads, in more
efficient child labor laws.
Dix Not Sincere.
'"The campaign of our opponents
upon the state issues has virtually col
Mpsed. Mr.. Dix, who began with q
pfliIlippic against the waste and ex-
travagance of the republican admins
tration has not only utterly failed to
give any specifications of these charges
but on Saturday when speaking to the
farmers of his county attacked the re-
publicans for not spending more than
they had IN Agricultural development.
He criticized Governor Hnghes for cdt-
ting out certain agricultural RppropEi-
ations in the interests of economy.
This is a fair measure of his fnsffi-
cerity.
ITO cover this collapse upon the real
issues of the campaign he is now try
ing to ride into ofilce by appealing TO
the discontent of the people arising out
of the increase in the cost OF living.
He charges this suffering TO the trusts
and the tariff. and seslss TO lay on nay
party the responsibility of these evils.
/ am willing that the people should
Judge between Mr. Dix and mo even
on this false issue:
"And I call the attention of the state
to the fact that while Mrt Dix now
denounces my party for NOT having
lowered the tariff more than IT Gid he
himself has been a, tariff benefiotaEy ala
his life and in the revision wzalch ne
now denounces was an applicant for
even greater privileges from the peo-
pie"

act as his counsel. Judge Parker feels
seenly the slur put upon the judiciary
by Colonel Roosevelt'S talk and heart
lily comedies with the belief held by
Judge Baldwin that it is about time to
hold Colonel Roosevelt responsible for
his utterances.
The suit will be a demand for repa-
ration but Judge Baldwin was silent
Saturday night when he was asked
whether it would take the form of a
criminal SANDER or a civil damage suit
The statement of Judge Baldwin's
intention to sue Roosevelt was given
out by the democratic state central
committee last night as follows
Judge Baldwin was asked this
morning il he had received Mr.. Roose-
veit's letter of Nov. .. He said that
he had received one bearing that date,
signed Theodore Roosevelt inclosed in
letter signed Frank Harper Secre-
tary.' in which the latter stated that it
had been dictated to him by Mr.. Roose-
welt and that he was signing and send
ing it on Nov. 4.
Judge Baldwin then said that as
suming this letter to be authentic, the
matter stands thus:
u have asked President Roosevelt
to retract a statement which he made
in a speech in New Hampshire as to
my holding a certain view of a point
Of law.
HE denies that he made the state
ment in the form in which it is report
ed by the stenographer and widely
published.
'He also, il ! understood his letter
OF Nov. 2. has written to me that the
statement, If made, was true.
II shall waste no more words upon
him. but intend when l have leisure to
attend to it to bring suit on account
of his making the statement, which I
have no doubt was, in fact, correctly
reported.
Il should have been better pleased
ii he had made r. frank retraction. AS
he has refused to do this, I regard it
as my duty to bring him to justice"

General Strike
Seems Likely
CLIMAX IN EXPRESS DRIVERS
TROUBLE EXPECTED TODAY,
FEW DISORDERS SUNDAY
Some Freight Disposed Of Without Sc
rious Observation-Disclosures to Par
ents Given Out from Jersey PuIpits.

New York, Nov. ga climax in the
strike by the drivers and helpers of
tn express companies is expected to-
morrow, and this, in the opinion of the
leaders of the movement, will be gen.
eral strike.
Meeting to Consider General Strike.
After conferences today between
Daniel j. Tobin, president of the In
ternational Brotherhood of TeanSters:
Valentine Hoffman, vice president of
the union, and Samuel Gompers, pres
1dent of the American Federation of
Labor, 1t was announced that a meet
ing of the joint executive council Of
row morning to discuss the advisability
of general strike. Mr.. Gompers will
attend the meeting.
The representatives of the express
companies also consulted several hours
today. discussing the strike controver-
however, are bare statement that there
was short informal meeting of the
heads Of the companies, but nothing
developed" was given out.
Few Disorders Sunday.
Both in New York and Jersey City
today there We're few disorders, and
these were of trivial character. In
this city several of the express COM
panies managed successfully to dispose
of few wagon loads of freight with
out serious interference by the strik-
ers. In Jersey City instructions were
given out from all pulpits that parents
should keep their children at home
after school hours tomorrow, so none
of them may be injured in case of dis
orders and to prevent youths throwing
stones.
What General Strike Means.
President Tobin asserted today that
a general strike would call out every
driver or operator of wheeled vehicles
in the city except motormen on the
elevated railroads, the trolley lines and
the subway. The impression among
the leaders seemed to be that gen
eral strike is all but assured.
Vice President Hoffman did not mince
matters. He said the action of the
companies in refusing to arbitrate
would in all probability result in a
general strike. AS Mr.. Hoffman was
leaving the conference for strikers
headquarters he was seized with
sudden attack and fell unconscious. He
was taken in taxicab to his home.
How serious is his illness, could not
be learned. Mr.. Hoffman has labored
day and night since the strike began.
and it is believed that the attack was
due to nervous exhaustion.
