 Plane to Yield Places to
 the Democrats

New York, October. 29.-An attack on Tammany Hall as the ''basest political
 organization we have seen since the days
 nominee for governor. as the candidate of Tammany Hall, was the topNc with which Theodore Roosevelt resumed in Brooklyn tonight his campaign in behalf of Henry L.. Stimson. Pleas were also made for
 business and political honesty during a series of six speeches. Incidentally, he answered the attacks made upon him for his criticism of the United States supreme court. .f4+.',
 The colonel referred to this subject in the following words:
 He (Dix) has objected to me because ] differ as to a decision, because I disagree
 or criticise-I am not particular about words--I stand for facts-a decision of the
 supreme court. Now it is, to my mind, essential that we should have honest criti- cism of every public servant, be he judge
 or governor, or president or any one else."
 Regarding the accusation" as he termed it, that he stands against business prosperity, the colonel said that as New Yorker he felt ashamed to say there are some respectable business men who have
 permitted themselves to be so far misled by this baseless and wicked cry as to lend themselves to the effort to enthrone Tam many Hall in power in Albany He added: 4 ., T wish could make business men sec the simple and obvious truth, that nc demagogue, no agitator. no socialist who
 assails the existing system can begin to
 damage business men in the eyes of the American people so much as those busi- ness men themselves do, who by theiI actions endeavor to teach the American people that business men think 1t to their interest to have corrupt politics at Al
 bany and to put Tammany Hall in con- trol in the state capital"
 The Brownsville section of Brook lyn, occupied almost exclusively by foreigners, was the first place visited by MT. Roosevelt. From these he hur- ried to the Union League club oi Brooklyn, where he spoke of the eff. forts made to elevate the state gov. ernment and purify" the republican party.
 One trouble. think" he added, "is that we have put the party on toe ideal basis. And now that we have put the republican party on the high. est level shall we put 1t (the state) ir
 the hands of the basest political or. ganization we have seen since the days of Tweed?"
