 Get Out

Troy, N. r. November 4.--John A.
 Dix, addressing a. democratic mass meet
 ing here tonight. appealed to Trojans to
 help to put end to the infamous sys-
 tenn of over-taxation which has become
 a burden through the exactions of the
 Payne-Aldrich bill and to the extrava-
 gance of the national and state govern
 ments Mir Dix devoted the greater part of his speech to a discussion Of the tariff
 and in conclusion pledged himself and
 associates to do their utmost to give the people of the state an economical
 and efficient administration.
 MT. Dix came up from New York this evening and was entertained at dinner by
 James A. Burden, head of the Burden Iron Works, who is also a republican and who recently announced his intention to support the candidacy of the dem ocratic nominee
 Under the load of taxation imposed upon us by the recently revised repub- lican tariff,'' said MT. Dix. I've have reached point where our opponents re- alize that conditions must be changed. They now suggest there should be a new revision. thereby admitting the failure of the one so recently made by them. and they ask that the opportunity of revis- ing the tariff should be again entrusted to them.
 | s'I would remind you that in the last national campaign they were entrusted with power only because of their ex- pressed and explicit promise to give the people 8 downward revision of the tariff, and they have absolutely failed to make such 0 revision
 ''They have sduarely broken Inc prom I ise upon which they retained power.
 The Payne-Aldrieh bill represents neither l q downward nor an honest revision of l the tariff and il is a revision which is satisfactory oIly- to Inc srecial interests l of the country.
 'This must all be changed and it can
 only be changed by taking the power out l of the hands of those w}lo have broken their promises and placing it in the hands l of those who represent the sufferers from the exactions of the tariff rather
 than those of its beneficiaries. Our opponents have had their .oppor- tunity and have misnsed 1t. They have
 been weighed in the balance and found wanting

Congressman Butler Ames of Lowell. republican representa- tive of the Fifth district, called upon the Senator to pledge himself to be candi- date for reelection in the interest of the republican state ticket. The letter of Mir Ames, who Is a candidate to succeed Lodge. is in part as follows:
 'The reelection not only of our gov ernor. but of the whole state ticket, is in great jeopardy owing to the opposition of voters generally to your election to the Senate and to your continued control Of the party's machinery.
 And in order that our governor and all the state ticket may be saved from iin- pending defeat I suggest that in spirit of unselfishness and with the remem- brance of "A years of honest service to your party, you remove this issue by at once publicly pledging that you will not be a candidate for reelection" stiuason'n Speaking Tour New York, November 1.-The republican candidate for governor.

 they mean by that am an admirer of
 the integrity of Colonel Roosevelt. am
 free to say that am a Roosevelt man.
 But If they mean to insinuate that in

 yelts man, but that am not any mans
 man"
