Judge Parker Argues for
Government by Latter
ATTACK upon ROOSEVELT
To Whose Administration
He Points as an Instance
of a Failure to Substitute
For the Law a One Man
Rule.


Parker, in his speech here tonight,
dwelt upon what he styled "Roose-
velts utter disregard of the constitu-
ton and law
Having in mind the colenels pres
ent upstate tour, he said:
Roosevelt feels that the laws
should give way to government by
strong men, so he begins an open
campaign for what he calls the new
nationalism,' with the executive in
charge of the public welfare and con-
gress and the judiciary subordinate
instead of coordinate departments of
the government, and the national gov
ernment in possession of the powers
now enjoyed by the people of the
states.
1.-The. plea of necessity for this evo-
luton he bases in a large part upon
the failure of the government so far,
to protect the people from combina-
tions in restraint of trade. He says,
No, they have come to stay.
1--WE must have witnessed what
strong men may do. The colonel as
president gave consent to the alb
sorption of the Tennessee Coal & Iron
company by the United States Steel
corporation Let us test the sincerity
of his argument In his speech of
acceptance in 1904 he demanded more
statute laws to enable him to reach
these trusts and the great railroad
corporations.
Il answered then that there was law
enough now. What was needed was
it's enforcement. Ex-senator Foraker
has taken pains to prove from the
records of the attorney generals Of
flee that we did have law enough,
and further that the Hepburn bill
served no more useful purpose than
to give an appearance of support to
Ine presidents contention of insult
ficient law.
Again, being informed by the su-
preme court that the Sherman anti
trust act is a criminal statute, he
chose not to enforce it, but to bring
spectacular civil suits instead. To
relieve himself from public censure
because more organizations to prevent
competition came into existence dur
ing his presidency than in all other
times in the history of the country,
he entered upon a TRADE against the
courts which still continues.
But will he succeed in substituting
a government by strong men for
government by law? The signs of
the times indicate not The patriot
ism of the people has been aroused,
Ballots instead of bullets will be en-
pIoyed when the constitution of the
United States is attacked at home,
while bullets instead of ballots will
be used if the foe be foreign"
OTHER SIDE OF THE CAMPAIGN.
Utica, Oct 27.-Colonel Roosevelt
spent his fifty second birthday in the
thick of the fight for the republican
state ticket 1t was a rainy and muddy
day and the colonel had no time to
celebrate.
He assailed Dix, the democratic
nominee for governor of New York,
tonight more severely than ever. The
colonel also criticised Winfield A. Hup-
puch, Lhe chairman of the democratic
state committee, saying that he was
a man who should not be trusted.
Roosevelt was welcomed everywhere by
large crowds He spoke at Fonda,
Johnstown, Gloversville, Amsterdam
and Little Falls during the day, return
ing here and making two speeches to-
night.
Concerning Dix's labor record Roose-
welt said: Last Sunday there appeared
in the New York American an address
written by Hearst which alleged that
Dix and his partners employed hund-
reds of men in the paper mills, and that
those men worked twelve hours day
for $1.65 and that when the other pa
per mills of the country had given their
men an eight hour day and raised their
wages to 81, Dix, as a concession,
raised the wages of his men 10 cents
a day and provided as an offset that
the should work thirteen hours day
for five dgys in the week and twelve
hours the .sixth. Dix has not denied
these statements. Unless they were
true, he would have denied them when
they were made"
Roosevelt enumerated the bills bene-
fitting workmen passed during his
term as governor of New York and
as president, and said the republican
nominee for governor stood for a con-
tinuation of this work.
Roosevelt said that Huppuch, Dix's
business pflrtner. and other democrats
were saying that the tariff is too high.
He continued; The man who de-
