election district in the State. There
are over 5000 of these districts.

used on the Democratic side in an
effort TO carry the Legislature.

Warmly Welcomed.
Roosevelt and stimson addressed a
crowd Of about 1000 people in front OF
2S3 Lafayette street, getting an enthusi-
astic welcome. StiEnsOn assailed Dix s
labor record, and promised If elected
to continue the policies Of Governor
Hughes. When Roosevelt got up to
speak, he said:

on this same spot when I was running
for governor twelve years ago. We
beat them then and we will beat them
now We Will knock them over the

tomorrow, we will win out anyhow"
Roosevelt then took up the minor
candidates on the Democratic ticket.
and denounced them as incompetent
and untitled for public office.
Roosevelt this afternoon gave out the
following telegram which he had re-
ceived from p. J. Dolan, general secre-
tary and treasurer Of the International
Brotherhood of steam Shovel Men
Il have received information that
some labor organizations in New York
are against you IN this campaign. and
want TO saw that IN nv estimation
you are the best friend the labor organi-
cations ever had in the White House.
and that through your influence the
good wages and good conditions now
prevailing on the Panama canal are due
to your stand when you We're President
You deserve the support of every union
man in New York State this campaign,
as all your past records show you have
been their best friend at all times. You
can give this letter to the press"
The telegram was dated yesterday
nom Chicago.

wealthy friend Of Judge Alton B.
Parker has contributed heavily to
help elect a Democratic Legislature
