NEW YORK CAMPAIGN
 GROWS MORE LIVELY
Theodore Roosevelt Speaks in
 Spite of Rain
IN DEFENSE OF STIMsON
Speaker ID Declares Tint Alarm Over the New York Situation Has Been Raised By Wall Street
 Brokers

1 Syracuse, N. Y, October 25.-The cam-
 paign grew livelier today as Theodore Roosevelt travelled about central New
 York state. Rain fell today but at every place at which Colonel Roosevelt stopped
 crowds of citizens gathered to cheer him. l Hundreds stood in the rain to hear his
 outdoor speeches and every building in
 which he spoke was damned to the doors.
 In his speeches he dwelt particularly
 in Rooseveltism as an issue He told | the people that some business men of the
 state were afraid of it. He said that any 1 fear of him or of Henry L. Stimson, re-
 publican candidate for governor, was
 baseless and that the alarm had been
 raised by Wall street.
 Colonel Roosevelt also replied to John l A. Dix, democratic candidate for gover-
 nor who said yesterday that the colonel I had misrepresented him by stating that l he had been connected with the wall
 paper combine. The colonel did not make
 the apology which MT. Dix demanded. He 1 insisted that MT Dix had not shown that
 he was not connected with the trust
 which the supreme court declared il- | legal.
 Colonel Roosevelt spoke today at Penn Tan, Canandaigua, Geneva, Waterloo, Seneca Falls and Auburn.
 | The speech here tonight was in large
 part an appeal to business men not to
 be alarmed by Rooseveltism. He began by reading the circular sent out over the names of Charles F. Murphy and
 other members of Tammany Hall cam paign committee, appealing for contribu- | tions to defeat the Roosevelt policies.
 This appeal from Tammany Hall is in substance precisely the appeal which has | been made by the great financiers who desired to obtain or retain improper spe- | cial privileges. he said. There has been deliberate attempt on the part of these | business men who are crooked to mis- | lead and frighten their colleagues who are not crooked and especially to mis- | lead and frighten the small business men | by telling them that disaster impends | if Stimson is elected governor because l Stimson is closely allied with me and l, l forsooth, am a dangerous man, especially | dangerous to business.
 T think this appeal has not had as
 much influence as I had feared, but still | l fluence. A number of honest business
 men have been affected by the statements of those whom, even if they distrust, they | look up to as leaders in the business
 world, and in consequence of those hon.
 est business men have shown symptoms
 of that specie of fright which makes
 men especially dangerous"
 In his speech at Auburn late this after
 noon the colonel also referred to the | Rooseveltism and said
 | 'I want to use moderate language. but l 1t is difficult to do so in speaking of
 something which is folly. So l shall say
 l wish the unwise ceratures who say
 wish to be king-ths men who talk that l utter twaddle, should have been at Sara
 toga to see the fight we had to make me l temporary chairman"
 Colonel Roosevelt will remain in Syr-
 acuse until Il o'clock in the morning. To-
 morrow he will go to the northern part of the state, speaking at Ogdenburg as night.
