ROOSEVELT IN
WH|RL WIND FINISH
(Continued from Page One.)

I
In all his speeches, Colonel ROOse-
/ Welt asserted the main issue before
/ the people of New York was whether
/ they would accept a corrupt alliance
/ Charges that he was seeking to make
himself dictator he characterized as
| ''twaddle."
Nevertheless, the ATTACKS made upon
/ him by John A. Dix. the Democratic
! candidate for governor, and by former
| Judge Alton B. Parker, who once ran
| against him for President, grew so Sc
we're that he retorted III kind.
Now the fight is nearly over, IL is
| generally admitted that its results viii
reach beyond the confines of the state
| and reach as far ahead as 1912, but
what the result will be is a matter in
an impersOnal interest. He has made
no preparations for receiving election
returns and expects 10 make none.
Election day he will spend at home,
tell him the results that night, or If
not, then the next day. but so far as
he was concerned, his duty had been
done and his support ended when he
had cast his ballot From that mo-
ment on he expects TO take long rest
at Sycamore Hill. He will not even
go TO his editorial offices, he said, IN
ROoseveIt's Appeal.
Theodore Roosevelt Joined the Re
publican candidate for governor, Henry
l. Stimson, tonight in a last appeal to
the voters.
His statement says in part
AS a citizen or this state, jealous Of
It's honor and its good name. and
earnestly sOlicitOus of the welfare OF
al ITS people, 1 wish 70 make a final
STAND Tor Henry l. SIimsOn in this
fight which he is waging so CALAMITY
for clean and honest politics and for
genuine popular rule.
I regard this as far more than
mere party contest. i appeal not only
10 Republicans, for / feel that in this
contest we have the right 10 appeal
lust as strongly TO all upright and far
sighted men, Democrats and independ-
ents, no less than Republicans.
Against the -partisanship of cor
rupt politics ard corrupt financa we
have a right TO expect the whole
hearted nOn-partisan support OF all
honest citizens, AMI particularly of all
men who believe in honest politics and
honest business.
Picked by Murphy.
Mr.. StimsOn has made his campaign
fearlessly and sincerely in the open:
his promises square with his record;
he has stated his position on every
question; Mr.. Dix derives his sole i'm
portance from the fact that Mr.. Murphy
picked him as being the man most
capable To carry out the purposes Of
Tammany hail. he has no public rec
ord, and he has not dared 10 state his
position fully and freely on a single
vital question.
He dared not answer Stimson's
questions and could not frame q ques-
ton which StimsOn would fear TO an
swer Mr.. Stimson as district attorney
made record which no other man in
that position has ever approached.
He dealt as dangerous blows 10 cor
ruption and special privilege as ever
have been dealt; he successfully prose-
cuted some of the most powerful cor
pOrations in the land including the
sugar trust and certain great trunk
railway lines and recovered for the
people nearly four million dollars from
them.
Naturally they hate him and con-
splre Tor has. undoing, and their bitter
hatred is the measure of the regard
which the people should feel for their
champion.
Remember that Stimson's work
against the trusts was an effective
blow against the high cost of living
whereas the wallpaper trust and the
efforts by Mt. Dix to have the tariff
on wallpaper raised represent Just the
movements that are responsible for so
much OF tie high cost of living as is
not due 10 worldwide causes.
Contrast this with Mr.. DiX's record
OF public record he has none. In his
his efforts TO get the tariff raised on
his own product and his working his
employees thirteen hours a night

To what John Mitchell says in his let
ter of yesterday"
Here MIR. Roosevelt quoted in fun
the statement given out yesterday by
Mr. Mitchell printed in the Sunday
papers, and also letter Of Timothy
Healey the president of the lnterna-
tional brotherhood of Stationary Fire
men, written 10 Samuel GOmpers some
days ago, in which he recites his eff
forts for the eight-hour day in the
paper mills, and says the Dix mills
are still in the eleven or thirteen-hou
class.
Campaign COIIapses.
Continuing Mr.. Roosevelt says:
Every Wage-WOrker should stand
with us, for we are fighting the wage
workers battle. Every honest citizen
should stand with US. for we are fight
ing the battle of Abraham Lincoln, the
plain people.
"The Wall street-Tammany Hall
campaign has completely collapsed.
They have not answered one argument
of Mr.. StimsOns. They have not ad-
vanced a single honest argument in
their turn. They have been hammered
out of every position they have taken
Their sole chance of beating Slim

in the campaign circulars distributed
by Tammany Hall through Wall street
