Buffalo. Nov. 1.-The fight for stimson
and the Republican State ticket is over
so far as Mr.. Roosevelt is concerned
vocalIy. Tonight, before two great au-
diences here, the colonel made speeches
| that created enthusiasm. They were his
last speeches. unless the State committee
| sees Mt TO pile on some more next Mon
day night. And the colonel may demur If
| they try to.
| For the first time in his whole strenu-
Gus campaign OF New York. Mr.. Roose-
welt tackled the cost-of-living proposition
/ this afternoon and tonight. He went at
II not very specifically, but more with
the idea OF impressing the opinion that
the Republicans are not responsible be-
cause prices have climbed. and because
he wanted 70 hammer home the fact that
/ Tammany would be powerless and un-
willing 70 alleviate the cost if It had the
| chance.
Party Not to Blame.
He said that It is ridiculous 10 try TO
hold the Republican party responsible for
| the high cost OF living. II would be posi-
lively absurd 10 put Tammany Hall in
power in the hope that conditions would
demagogue would promise results that
are impossible 10 achieve
| In 1896, when Mckinley was running
against Bryan, Mr.. Roosevelt said Bryan
| kicked because prices were not high
enough. He took wheat as a specific ex-
ample. The only explanations he offered
| tonight were that I'm a large measure
'the high cost Of living is due to changes
int
/ Republican party of 1910 is no more re-
| sponsible than it was I'm 1896 because
| prices were too low
Mr.. Roosevelt thought that perhaps the
corporations were partly 10 blame, but
pointed out that Harry StimsOn is the
man who got after them and had a hand
/ in checking the upward fight.
Crowds Encourage Him.
Throughout the day the colonel fired
hot shots at Tammany, Mr.. Dix. and the
| rest OF his opponents. Livingston. Nj
agara. and Erie counties were nightly
| encouraging to Mr.. Roosevelt by their
receptions He felt tonight. after it was
all over. that the chances for eIecting
| Stimson are a good deal brighter than
they were a couple OF weeks ago. and
that his strenuous efforts and hard fight
| will be rewarded.
Buffalo whooped and thundered ap-
| plause at the colonel tonight The
| Arsenal Hall of the Si7Ity-Iifth Regiment
contained about 5000 persons. over at
Convention Hall there were more than
10000 who yelled and cheered the colonel
as he lit into Tammany and discussed
the issues of the campaign just as he has
been doing these past weeks. The second
meeting was the grandest hurrah that
| the colonel has met. Rochester was next
The cost-of-living topic was first ap-
preached at Niagara Falls in the after
noon. Mr. Roosevelt went into IT I'm more
detail tonight, and expounded his other
themes with careful deliberatlon. His
| audiences to-day seemed to catch the
| fun of some OF his remarks more acutely
than other crowds have done
Hold Overflow Meeting.
There was much whooplng and excite
ment and the crowd was so big that II
was impossible to pack them all into one
theater so they had an overflow meeting
out of doors. The colonel spoke long and
freely When he had finished the com
mittee led him TO an automobile and
headed a procession that wound it's way
through the park on Goat Island. He saw
| the Horseshoe Falls and heard the roar
Then he came TO Buffalo From here he
goes TO Baltimore After addressing the
Methodist conference he will head for the
West. He viii speak in Iowa and Ohio.
1t is doubtful II he will speak Monday
night in New York. His voice is pretty
husky now, and by the time ne gets back
from insurgent Iowa and standpat Ohio
1t isn't likely to be improved.
