New-York tribune., 1910-11-01

in the Opera House was puzzle, but they
did, and many more were gathered II
the streets at Eighth avenue and 44th street
to bid the colonel welcome.
Il am glad to be here to speak for Harry
Stimson and Mr.. Curren and Mr.. Divine
he said Then he took up the Tammany
circular
Prosperity's Real Enemies.
''Thev say l am an enemy of prosperity,
he said. well. / am, just as much as that
officer there is an enemy of prosperity
when he arrests the burglar making away
with some one else's spoons. He is the
enemy of The burglars prosperity. And II
lie runs fer office he need not expect to get
the burglar vote And Harry Stimson VIII
not get the burglar vote, either"
Then he took up Dix's attitude toward
labor. in connection with the bakeshop
case.
..J hold II is the supreme duty of the
state and the nation" he said, ito do all
i'm their power to make for better condi-
tions for the werkingman.'
Mr. Roosevelt quoted Labor Commissioner
Williams as authority for the statement
that Dix worked his men eleven hours a
day on the day shift one week and thir-
teen hours night on the night shirt the
alternate week. "Of course, under these
conditions it is not surprising that Mr. DIX
takes the position he does with regard 10
labor legislation" added the colonel, to the
evident delight of his audience.
II don't wonder that the men who want
to use child labor turn to Dix. They are
perfectly right. ihey nave holi'hs 10
hope from Harry Stimson."
A man in the gallery shouted, Tell us
of The Heralds' red light column" and the
colonel told the story.
II was here that Mr.. Roosevelt referred
to an effort on the part of Mr.. DIX ana
his mariners to secure, by legislative
enactment undue waterpower and forest
privileges" He said that at the time The
New York Herald" and "The World, -
both of which are now supporting Mr.
Dix, described the effort as "a peculiarly
infamous piece of jobbery."
In Leslie Hall, SD street and Broadway,
two thousand persons awaited the coming
of the colonel, in addition to the large
crowd gathered on the outside.
RidicuIe for Mr.. Dix.
Beginning with an appeal to all who
stand for honest government to support the
Republican ticket, Mr.. Roosevelt ridicuied
Dixs statement that he wanted to go 10
Albany to turn the calcium on the Back
Horse Cavalry. He said he did not need
TO go TO Albany to do that. He need only
turn the light on his ewn supporters, ana
he pointed out that whereas the hepubh-
cans at Albany threw their own crook
out of public life, r majority or the votes
cast for him came from the small Demo
cratic minority, and five of those who fet-
ed against Allds's expulsion are no" run
ming on the ticket with Mr. Dix
Fully four thousand people shouted
themselves hoarse at Manhattan Casino pc
fore they would permit Colonel Roosevelt
to begin his speech. 1t was an eAtraof
dinary testimonial TO the eolonels popular
ity. and as he repeated his stiff little bow
and smiled his broad dental smile the
audience became more and more demon
stratiVe.
Finally. however, quiet was restored ana
the colonel began.
whats the matter with Teddy?' shouted
q man In the gallery. And the crowd was
off again, but soon yielded to the colohei
gestures urging quiet.
Mr. Roosevelt paid high tribute to that
gallant CONGRESSMAN. William Bennett
and expressed thanks for the support ne
had received at Saratoga Then he tolo
1.-The story of the innocent Dix and his
wicked partners" how Dix wanted lower
prices, while his wicked partner, Huppuch'
worked for higher duty; how Dix deplofed
high prices while his wicked partner Julius
Jackson, organized trust to make prices
exorbitant, and when he had told the
story the colonel remarked that he was
entirely willing to believe that poor Mr..
Dix was ignorant of these things, but he
was convinced that a gentleman of, such
extraordinary innocence would never know
what his wicked political partner. Murphy,
was doing with and for and to and around
him at Albany" and the audience mani
tested it's cordial approval of the colonel's
view.
''How about 212?' shouted some one.
It's magic number" replied the colo
mel; and then he told the story of the two
conventions. When he reached his climax
and told his audience that Murphys mes
sage to them is "You are wanted in Room
212" the audience shouted back I'VE won't
go!' and Never and the colonel replied:
mo, don't believe you will
At the Manhattan Casino Otto Barnard
and Charles d. Norton. secretary TO the
President. occupied places on the stage and
applauded the colonel's points.
Perhaps in numbers and enthusiasm the
Manhattan Casino meeting exceeded all
others 1t seemed that way, and certainly
the pace of the evening meetings was pro-
gresSively accelerated, the colonel warming
to his task in sympathy with his hearers.
