carry, the statements which I now pub
licly brand as falsehoods.
withdraw my request for an apology.
and 1 say with all the emphasis at my
command that a man who has been Pres
ident of the United States who would
do the things which he has done during
this campaign merits only the pity OF
decent men.
1T am neither a prophet nor the SON OF
prophet. but l venture the predicuon
that after November s, 1910. my oppo-
nents nominator will have stamped upon
his innermost consciousness the knowi-
edge that the people OF this state are
able and willing to manage and control
their own public affairs without e1tner
interference or dictation from any man
who would try to erect new national
founded by our forefathers in days OF
stress and sacrifice

that the time has arrived when their

Praise for Dix.
"While the long-standing corruption
was being reviewed from day to day In
Albany last winter many intelligent re-
publicans made up their minds that 1t
was time to let the other party come
into power for while for the common
veal, and they are of that mind still.
Happily, Mr.. Dix is a man OF such In
tegrity and fitness. and, let me add. free
dom from objectionable influences. that
there is no reason for any fair and In
telligent man to cast a mere party vote
against him.
1.-THE democratic convention did a serv-
Ice to honest politics by refusing the al
lance offered to it by political scamps
who have no wish to aid in good govern
ment. but only their vain and selfish am
b1tion in view, and for that alone the
ticket which 1t fairly and sQuarely nomi-
mated should have the healthy good will
Of every one.
'"The assertion that Mr.. Dix was Sc
lected and his nomination forced by a
political leader hereabouts I know OF my
own knowledge to be false. 1t Is easy to
stand up q man OF straw and then thump
ut over. and that is what some dfstin-
p,uished republicans or new nationalist
seem to be principally en-
gagged in; but they will learn on election
night that the voters Of the state know
imam of straw or q scarecrow when
They see one, at least as quick as
crow does"
Calls Roosevelt Extravagant.
Former Controller Glynn charged that.
as governor. Roosevelt was extravagant
and reckless in expending the states
for his personal uses He said:
1.-THE records Of the state controllers
show that Mr.. Roosevelt. in
his personal expenditures for railroad
fare and cab hire, was one Of the most
governors this state ever
had. These bills show that New York
state paid for trips Of Mr.. Roosevelt
not only throughout the state, but to
and Chicago, and that his
hire was not merely an Albany
habit, but that it was pronounced when
he spent his vacations at Oyster Bay.
Perhaps the magnanimity OF New
York state in paying for these jaunting
trips to Washington and Chicago Guilt
waited in him the habit which prompted
him to accept free transportation from
the Pennsylvania railroad aggregating
800 600.
"As governor, Mr.. Roosevelt had the In
expense bills, some unitemized
and others without vouchers. If bills
had been rendered in that form while l
was controller they would never have
been paid
