ed things going in his first speech Of
the day at Dunkirk. Then he sped on

Only One Theme.
Colonel Roosevelt had only one theme
for his speech. 1t was what he termed
the alliance between Wall Street and
Tammany Hall, which he said was the
most complete alliance between corrupt
business and corrupt political bosses
which the State had seen since the days
of Tweed. If the Democrats should
win the election. he said, Taulmany
Hall and Wall Street would dominate
ihe State. to the detriment of the
people.
Opposed to that, he pictured the Re-
publican party as the true representa-
tive of popular rule, and Henry L.
Stimson as man who would finch at
no opposition and be turned aside by
no influence from serving the people.
He discussed no concrete issues, State
or NATIONAL but clung to the state
ment that the issue was Tammany Hall
and Wall Street against the people.
Colonel Roosevelt fought for the
Republican ticket in New York State
to-day as energetically as he fought
for the Republican ticket in Indiana
yesterday. He pledged his word that
Mr.. Stimson, If elected Governor, would
administer his Office for all the people.
Then he declared that Wall Street
was a unit for the men nominated at
the Rochester convention. because
they know they cannot handle the men
nominated at Saratoga"

Welt emphasized what he said was the
complete domination of the Democratic
convention by Mr. Murphy
Everything was settled in a room

many. Mr.. Murphy" he said.
