Swarm About Meeting Places,
Packed to Overlooking, from

HOT SHOT FOR TAMMANY

COIOnel wants TO huOW HOW
Innocent Dix Is Going to De-
tect Wiles of Latest Wick
ed Partner, Murphy.
With Colonel Theodore Roosevelt pound
ing Mr.. Murphy's candidate from the
Bowery 70 The Bronx and President Taft
lending his cooperation insofar as the
forceful speech Of his brother, Henry w.
Taft, at one meeting and the presence of
his secretary, Charles ID. Norton, at
another would do it, last night was a sad
night for the Democracy in Manhattan.
Pillorying John A. Dix as the enemy of
labor and the opponent of labor legisla
ton, taunting THE World" and 1.-THE
Herald" with supporting Dix when, only
a few years ago, they We're describing the
legislation which he and Huppuch sought
to get through at Albany as "a peculiarly
infamous piece of jobbery,'' and holding
up TO ridicule the Democratic candidate
as "a man so innocent that were he to
get TO Albany he would never know what
his wicked political partner, Mr.. Murphy,
was doing with. and TO, and by and
around him." Mr.. Roosevelt won the en-
thusastic applause of nine separate audi
ences, each one of which was limited only
by the capacity of the hall In which it
was assembled
Cheer on cheer greeted the colonel
wherever he appeared. followed him as his
auto sped away and caused him TO lift
his hat at frequent intervals as he almest
flew from meeting to meeting.
Wild Pace for Party.
It was a wild pace the colonel set for
those who would follow him. A great
string of autos, all armed with police
sirens, tore about Manhattan in way TO
suggest the phrase Hell bent for cleo
tion," but it was not the powers of evil,
but the great apostle of honesty and de-
cency, Theodore Roosevelt. who was bent
on election" the election of Henry l..
Stimson as Governor of New York.
Did the colonel make votes? Ne one
who saw the crowds which came to hear
him, was thrilled by the prolonged cheer
ing which everywhere greeted his arrival
and his departure or observed the spon-
taneity and heartiness of the applause
with which his points were received
could doubt it, Even some who came as
skeptics went away wholly persuaded of
the getting ability of Theodore
Roosevelt.
MIR. Stimson himself addressed some Of
the same meetings as Mr.. Roosevelt but,
fortunately for that very modest young
man, he was not present during any of
the celoners speeches-for the colonel told
of Harry Stimsen's virtues with an en-
thusiasm which might have caused en-
barrassment to a modest candidate.
All in all. it was a great night for Slim
son, a bad night for Dix, and one the en-
thusiasm of which presages an even worse
night for "Mr Murphy's candidate on
Novepber S.
With a vehemence and earnestness
which are as effective as oratorical periods,
Colonel Roosevelt appealed TO his hearers
TO stand by him in the fight for decency
and honesty and against the effort OF Tam
many Hall so to extend its malign infiu-
ence as to embrace the entire state
At Grand Music Hall, on the East Side,
zoe" Levenson, who presided, was unable
to check the cheering, and only when the
colonel took the floor and urged that. as
his time was limited, he be permitted to
improve it all, did the demonstration cease.
Mr. Roosevelt told the two thousand East
Siders that ever since, as Police Commits
siener he had first come to the East Side,
he had done all that in him lay to secure
for every man square deal, for the aver
age man an even chance, and for those
whose lot in life was far from easy little
better opportunity. He was interrupted by
cries Of:
That's right - You have,' and Vigor-
Gus applause
"A fair chance for those unable to help
themselves has been my aim he said, land
that will be Harry Stimson's aim. if you
give him your votes"
Hot Shot for Tamn1any. -.
Tammany Hall, ne told them, was appeal
ing to those who are corrupt, to those who
want unfair advantages, to those who seek
undue profits from corruption. And" he
added, lit is for you to decide whether you
will vote for honesty and deeency and the
square deal, for those things of which
Tammany Hall is typical"
He explained that the new nationalism
was simply means to secure for all men
an equal chance, and, with a final appeal
for Stimson, sped on his way before the
cheering had died away.
Fully two thousand persons had squeezed
themselves into StuyVesant Casino when
Colonel Roosevelt reached there, but their
inevitable discomfort in no way detracted
from tie heartiness with which they
greeted the colonel.
In this fight Tammany Hall is appeal
ing to those who are trying to nullify the
child labor laws to destroy the effective
ness of the laws regulating the hours of
labor and to prevent legislation compelling
sanitary conditions for those who labor,
Mr. Roosevelt told his hearers. The declara-
tion was so heartily applauded that he had
to remind his hearers that he had little
time, and that if they would hear his argu-
mentS they must give him chance.
