against legitimate business when we oe-
nounce crooked business AS well might
they say I am false to the memory u
Abraham Lincoln because / dehouhce
Tweed The prime enemy of clean pohucs
is the crooked politician. and IN the saiiie
way the worst foe OF legitimate business
Is the dishonest business man.
Mr. Roosevelt repeated his ridicule OF
Tammany's appeal for funds to defeat
"Roosevelt's wild doctrines" which, ne
said, included that archaic cornmaiu
Thou shalt not steal" He agreed WIN
the statement In the circular that IL "ouio
require a large outlay of money to defeat
Harry StImson, and added that only a
large outlay could defeat the Republican
ticket by procuring widespread misrepre-
sentation of the real issues Of the CAM
paign.
Then ne turned to the personality OF the
candidate for Governor.
1T is Harry Stimson who is 10 he elect
ed Governor. not t. he said
Then he proceeded to tell how when ne
saw that crooks In high places had 10 De
prosecuted and knew that they would get
the best lawyers money could hire, he had
appointed the best lawyer he could hnd
to fight them.
Harry Stimson upset the business tran
ouilIity and peace of the Sugar Trust he
said. land of the rebating railways. for he
had them condemned to pay $ioo.uS Tor
their offences against the law. But that
was to the interest Of every honest SNIP
per. and especially to the interest OF every
small shipper, who was being untustly dis
eliminated against by this rebating prac-
tice.
Harry Stimson also upset the tranquility
and business peace of james Gordon Ben
nett, the proprietor of The New YORK
Herald" said Mr.. Roosevelt, when ne
prosecuted him for running advertisements
SO vile that he could not even reveal their
nature to such audience.
He forced James Gordon Bennett 10 ap-
pear in person and plead" he continued.
THE only good thing know about Bennett
that like is that he lives across the ocean.
He did all he could to avoid coming TO this
country TO appear in person, but Harry
Stimson treated him just as he would treat
the humblest offender against the law, and
he disturbed his business tranquility to the
| extent OF a $4,000 fine. and he disturbed 1t
further by preventing him from making
any more money from such vile sources"
Crowd Anxious to Hear More.
After telling OF further disturbance of
| business by Harry Stimson in making the
! Sugar Trust pay up $4,000. Mr.. Roose-
| welt added that no honest business man
| would have any reason to fear that as
| Governor Harry Stimson would disturb his
| peace or tranquility, but crooks had every
reason to fear such disturbance.
Once more the signal was given that ii
was time to close his address to keep the
next engagement. The crowd protested and
wanted to hear more, but Mr.. Roosevelt
| closed with q fervent appeal to the voters
| TO stand with him in support of the Repub-
| lican ticket and elect an honest, efficient
| and trustworthy Governor like Harry Slim
| son.
| He had hardly closed his last sentence
when he started across the stage, waving
| goodbys as he went, and he emerged from
| the door at the side of the platform pulling
on his coat. and as he went down the aisle
waved to the cheering crowds, and, reach
ing the door. pulled on his Rough Rider
hat and ran for the automobile.
Quite a number OF persons followed hin
from the hall. and one woman remarked
I, While he looks we'll. his clothes are dread

Crowds awaited Mr.. Roosevelt through
out all Brooklyn. They had waited Iona
some of them two or three hours. to see ant
hear him. Not one of the halls was bi
enough TO hold those who wanted to get IN

more than five thousand packed in tn

The great trouble about the tour wa
that the audiences wanted 10 do the talk
