and Elmira. The crowds in the early
part Of the day were not large and
there was little cheering. Later in

Il
COL Roosevelt had only one name
Tor his speech. 1t was what he
termed the alliance between Wall
street and Tammany Hall, which.
he said, was the most complete al
lance 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, Tamnaany
Hall and Wall street would dom mate
the State to the detriment of the
people.
! Opposed to that, he pictured the
Republican party as the true rep-
resentatiye Of popular rule, and
Henry l. Stimson as a man who
would finch at no opposition ard be
turned aside by no influence from
serving the people. He discussed no
concrete issues. State or national,
but clung to the statement that the
issue was Tammany Hall and Wall
street against the people.
Col. Roosevelt fought for the Re-
publican ticket in New York State

for the Republican ticket in Indiana
yesterday. He pledged his word
that Mr.. Stimson, if elected Cover
nor, would administer his office for
all the people.

settled in Room 212, and the Conven-
vention, with humble eagerness, re-
sponded TO the message sent out.
You are wanted in Room 212.' and
now Mr.. Murphy, as the agent and
attorney of Wall street, says 10 the
people of the State. You are wanted
in Room 212.
Well are you going?" Mr.. Roose-
welt shouted TO his hearers?
In his speech at Wellsville. Col.
Roosevelt said that when he was
abroad he heard one name connect
ed with everything that was bad in
this country, and that was Tar yrany
Hall. Next to the name Of Tam
