ROOSEVELT
STIRS IT UP
Begins Red Hot Campaign
In New York for Election
of Stimson.
TAMMANY HAS ALLIANCE

Elmira, Oct. 15:-ffYou're wanted in
Room 212." That is the message of
Murphy, acting as agent for Tammany
Hall, to the people of the State of New
York. "You' re wanted in Room PIP.
Will you GOT" This is the keynote
of the campaign which Theodore Roose-
welt sounded all down the southern tier
from Dunkirk to Elmira, and every
time he has asked the question his
hearers have answered "Nol" with one
voice.
cit is in no sense a mere party
fight. We have a right 10 appeal to
every man who prizes the honor of the
states and the good name of America.
SIT is an unholy alliance of Wall
street and Tammany Hall, of big bust
ness and corrupt politics, against honor
and decency.
at is a contest between the man
who prosecuted the Sugar Trust and
made it disgorge it's i'll gotten gains and
the respectable and ~unimportant figure
head nominated in Room 212 of a Ro-
chester hotel.o
These are the proposition which Mr..
Roosevelt, with characteristic vehe-
mence, has been laundering at the vo-
tiers of the state ever since he reached
Dunkirk; at IL O'Clock yesterday fore
noon, and from the enthusiasm which
his words nave aroused it is a reason
able assumption that they have touch,
ed a responsive chord.
Dix and Stimson Contrasted.
Dix, the unknown, the respectable
but unimportant puppet, dared to do
only the will of his masters and Slim
son, the man who has done things, the
fearless and capable attorney who is
dreaded, not only by the Sugar Trust,
which has suffered at his hands, but by
others who realize that it is of vital
consequence to hteir purses, and per
haps1even to their personal safety and

to do exact justice on a larger scale as
Governor Of New York. have been de-
picted by the ex-President with a force
and picturesqueness such as few Others
can command.
~ ask support for Harry Stimson be-
cause of the character Of those politi-
clans and those from the great business
interests which are rabid in their hos
tflity to him. said Mr.. Roosevelt to
more than one audience today, adding.
'"When you see that group of politi-
clans and business men all going one
way it is pretty safe for the average
decent citizen to go the other way"
Mr.. Roosevelt has told his audiences
the story of the Rochester convention as
related in the news columns of what he
terms "the Wall Street papers," and
he has offered to name them if any one
wanted him to. He has told them that
the so-called convention at Rochester
was no convention at all; that he dele
gates represented no one; not even
themselves, but meekly took their or
ders from "Boss" Murphy of Tammany
Hall when they received the peremptory
summons, "You'r wanted in Room
212," that having been the number of
the room which Murphy occupied in the
Seneca Hotel at Rochester. =
Tammany and Wall Street Alliance.
Mr.. Roosevelt has scored the "Wall
Street papers" in no uncertain terms.
He asserts that these newspapers differ
only in non-essentials, but are as one
whenever the interests of Wall Street
are in real danger; that they stand for
the interests of the whole people, when,
and only when, those interests happen
to be the same as those of the whole
people, but that where the interests of
Wall Street and the people are at var
fanee these newspapers may always be
found standing by Wall Street, and that
in this campaign these newspapers
tthave all sunk their minor prejudices
and followed Wall Street into the camp
of Tammany Hall.
Without regard to the fact that
they have all been against Tammany in
the past whenever only Tammany's in
terests were involved" he continued,
"fthey are now supporting Tammany
with the heartiest enthusiasm. And
whyf Because Wall Street and Tam
many have struck hands.
HAnd what does this means 1t
means that the politicians who want ia
vors from big business, either for their
own personal advancement or TO keep
their political control, have Joined in
whole-souled alliance with those So
called business men, who in their turn
wish to control politics. Business men
who seek to rise by. their W industry
do not want to control politics. There
is but one reason that moves business
