the judge surveyed him from afar, "in
those days you appealed TO all good
/ citizens to stand together. and so now
have the right to appeal to all good cltl-
Zens TO stand together In this contest.
We have as our candidate''- but the
nolso interrupted him Il can't talk
against two footing engines" he shouted.
Against one?" asked a man In the
crowd
"One can get on fairly well with"
was the retort
I'VE ask your support Of stlmson," con-
tinued the colonel because he IS OPP
posed rightly by Tammany Hal and by
the big trusts and by every crooked
business man.
Say. COLONEL" piped a suspicieus-iook-
/ ing individual Judge Parker can't hear
you" The colonel glared.
Every crooked business man." he went
on, "and every crooked politician l ex-
pect 10 oppose our candidate. ! am glad
10 see you, comrade."
COmrade: II hear with pleasure and
believe in every word you say
The colonel: Il am glad you 90"
Could Not Fool Colonel.
While his repartee was going on Judge
Parker held his place. He couldn't be
persuaded TO greet the colonel. and he
went away without even speaking. He
remarked as he left that everything was
fine whore he had been. meaning, OF
course. that the Democrats were bios
soming out in good shape. Mr.. Roose-
veit knew that the judge was there all
the time.
Mr.. Roosevelt made eight speeches to-
! day. He began at Phoenix in the morn
ing and ended I'D with two addresses
here tonight The crowds yelled every
where. and Il was pretty easy shedding
for him. There was a good bit OF enthu-
siasm along the line-mOre than one has
noticed previously. But. then, IL was In
red-hot Republican country. And also
everybody felt good. because Il was cold
and made you feel like working your
| lungs.
The colonel took up as his leading point
OF attack on Mr.. Dix the speech that
the Democratic can 1idate made last night
at Buffalo. He de9lored the fact that
Dix had attacked stimson because OF
what Sumson had done in connection
with the sugar trust
a willing Instrument.
Mr. Dix has shown concusively that
he is the willing instrument OF Mr.. Muir
ply IN this campaign. and therefore the
| instrument Of the great and sinister
forces. political and financial that stand
behind Murphy in the effort 10 secure
control Of the government at Albany"
he said. and Mr.. Dix's utter insincerity
I IS shown IN his attacks on Mr.. Stimson
as in his attempts 20 explain away his
own record. Every great corrupt cor
poration which desires 10 see Harry
Stimson discredited would doubtless APP
plaud Tor Mr.. Dix for HIS attempts 10
discredlt him were Il not that these at
tempts are so transparency futile 10 the
trust or in its connection with the trust
Most OF the other topics that the col
onel has been expOunding were taken
up IN the course OF the day. He roasted
James Gordon Bennett, talked the New
Nationalsm, the Supreme Court and
discussed all the issues Of the campaign
up 10 date. He announced tina, the Re
publican party IN the State had broken
away from big business. which might
be construed as an admission.
Phoenix and Fulton were favored with
rear platform speeches just Ike Rich
land.
Receives Loud Welcome.
The first big meeting was IN Oswego,
where 100 grown-ups and a lot Of
whistLing kids jammed into the Opera
House, In the afternoon, before he left
for Ogdenshurg. the colonel received a
loud welcome from WATERFOWL.
The streets We're thronged with en-
thuslastic folks. who persisted in fol-
lowing the first auto. which. naturally.
contained Mr.. Roosevelt and a member
Of the staff
The WatertOwn armory held more per-
sons that We're comfortably seated. The
colonel mounted a chair and spoke for
about an hour The crowd laughed and
apDlauded some all the way
Tonight he reached Ogdensburg at S
O'Clock. lie went direct 10 the Opera
House. then Whirled over 20 the Star
Theate- 10 address an overflow.
Tomorrow Col Roosevelt VIII drop
down from the North and viii skirmish
around HeriIimer and Oneida counties.
and at night he viii talk IN Utica.
