| Col Roosevelt made eight speeches yes
terday, Judge Alton B. Parker listened to
one of them, but declined to meet Mr..
Roosevelt at its conclusion. Later he
made the comment that Thou shalt not
bear false witness is as important
commandment as Thou shalt not steal"
But he didn't think Col. Roosevelt ap-
preciated this fact.
The minor figures in the New York

plying TO Dix. his opponent, declared that

Roosevelt hustled from central New York

of that gentleman, his partner and
friends, basing. his reiteration, he said, on
information just received from the secre-

on the latter's speech of Tuesday night.

in the sugar trust prosecutions.
Mr.. Dix has shown conclusively," said

and therefore the instrument of the great
and sinister forces, political and financial,

MIR. Dix's utter insincerity is shown in

his attempts to explain away his own rec

connected, was virtually identical with

| Most of the other topics that the colonel

Gordon Bennett, talked the new national
ism, the supreme court, and discussed all
the issues of the campaign up to date
He announced that the republican party
in the state had broken away from big

Il think my bias in favor of the sugar
trust which Mr.. Dix intimates. becomes
ludicrous, said Mr.. Stimson, lin the

however. Later, at Oswego, Parker lit

Parker Hits at Roosevelt.
| THE colonel tells u.s. he said, that
