At St. Louis Roosevelt denounced
the Democratic party in New York as
an "unholy alliance between Wall
street and Tammany Hall in a
speech the other night and attacked
the Democratic party in Missouri by
calling it the party that represents
the special interests and SPECIAL priv
ileges." Roosevelt also defended the
present position Of the Republican
party in regard to the tariff.
1t was Roosevelt's first speech in
the present campaign. The Coli
scum was crowded to the doors with
a crowd which cheered him frequent
ly. He began his speech by CON-
mending Gov. IIadley as IAN upright
and fearless public servant and say
ing that the fight in Missouri is SIM
liar to that being made in New York
"In New York there are opponents
who call themselves the Democracy"
Sobu
very slenderest relation to any his
torical party bearing that name. Fol-
in New York what calls itself Democ-
racy con sists in reality Of an unhoiy
alliance between Wall street and
Tammany Hall. 1t is enough to
make Andrew Jackson, of Tennessee,
and Tom Benton. of Missouri, turn
in their graves to realize what the
organizations are that claim to be
their spiritual heirs and representa-
tives at this present day.
And as it is in New York. SO il
is here in Missouri; the genuine
party of the people. the party that
stands for popular rights, that stands
for all the people, it the Republi-
can party, and the party of reaction
and of bourbonism. the party that
represents the special interests and
special interests, is the party that ar
rogates to itself. forsooth the name
Of the Democracy.
I'm New York the special inter-
ests, is al of the powers that hope
to keep or o acquire privileges to
which they are not entitled, have
gone with our antagonists, because
they feel, quite pro. 'erly. that in
their ranks is the place for every
man who believes in either crooked
business or crooked politics, and es-
pecially in the alliance between

Alton b. Parker has given out an
interview at his home in New York
on the State campaign and Theodore
Roosevelt. He said in part:
Il am informed that Mr.. ROose-
welt has been advised by his friends
that in this State the tide set in
so strongly against his New Nation
alism with himself as the steward Of
the public welfare in 1912 ana
thence on for the balance of his life.
that he can only hope TO save the
situation for himself and his ticket
~ announcement that he wont be a
candidate in 1912 and further he has
agreed to make such a statement
within the next two OF three days.
There can be no doubt Of the
fact of his candidacy in the mind
of any man who has watched his
course, carefully read his speeches,
and noted his almost brutal eat
..lenl OF President Taft. From my
knowledge of and experience with
him / have no hesitation in saying
that while the assurance will be
given by him that he will not be
a candidate in 1912 his purpose is
to deceive the people of this State
in the hope that they will elect his
ticket. That done, he will accept
the result as command by the PEG
pie of the state that he be its cand-
idate. Then. with the political ma
chine under his control, nothing a
prevent him from securing the dele
gates from this State. There is one
sure way and only way 20 avoid
Mexicanizing this country-and that
is to defeat his ticket now"
