Tammany and Wall Street to
be His Targets
IN THE STATE CAMPAIGN
A Quiet Day in Peoria-Troubles of the
Colonel in Making Himself Under
stood in the West on the Tar
if Question.

Peoria, Ill.,, Oct. l3.-Col. Roosevelt
arrived in Peoria at l o'clock yester-
day afternoon and remained here until
1880 last night, when ne headed for In.
diana, where he will endeayor to save
Senator Reyeridge from falling into the
clutches Of the Democrats, and where
there will be the most intense political
interest in what he will say.
Compared with Tuesday ST. Louis,
with its wild auto dasnes. the eolonel's
airship fight, and speeches, yesterday
was comparatively quiet day The
Roosevelt special passed through Alton,
Granite City, Springfield, and other
points in Illinois on the way to Peoria,
and at these points the former president
made brief speeches from the rear end
OF his car.
Col Roosevelt was up bright and early,
and experienced not the slightest i'll
effects from his extremely strenuous Wis
il to st. Louis. His voice is not trou-
bling him much in spite of the hard work
OF the last several days. He il feeling in
excellent shape for the opening OF the
New York campaign tomorrow.
In Peoria his principal speech was at
a dinner given him by the Knights Of
Columbus. On arriving he went to the
Country club for luncheon, and then to
the house of Archbishop Spalding
In view of the feeling in the west
over the tariff plank, and some of the
other features of the New York plat
form, the colonel is extremely anxious
to have his views on tariff made clear.
For this reason he carefully prepared
what he had to say at the St. Louis
Coliseum Tuesday night on the subject
Of tariff. In this he spoke for tariff
commission for revision schedule by
schedule, and for the abolition of favor
itism and special privilege in dealing
with duties. He said before the speech
that he thought this could not fail to
be understood by those that wanted to
understand.
But when the colonel awoke yester-
dav morning he found that the leading
Republican morning newspaper OF st.
Louis, the stand-pat organ of Missouri,
represented him as having made an COR
thodox" speech on tariff, and the Demo
cratic paper, the organ of the reaction
airy end Of the Democratic party in the
state, announced; Roosevelt fops to
stand -patters."
Missouri stand-patters were not
pleased over the attention Col Roosevelt
showed Governor Hadley, a progressive,
and over the warm commendation he
gave Hadley in his Coliseum speech Tues
day night and the colonel referred to
the "unholy alliance" between Tammany
and Wall street This is a forerunner
Of much That will be heard from him
along the same lines when he gets into
the New York campaign. He is expected
to attack Dix as the candidate of Tam
many and Wall street, and hammer on
the charge Of such an alliance.
Governor Dineen Of Illinois met Col
cnel Roosevelt at Springfield. He got
en- the train and rode to Peoria and they
talked over political conditions in IL
linois. A considerable crowd was GATH
cred at Springfield and the train re-
manned there a few minutes while the
colonel spoke.
The colonel fired a shot at corruption,
apparently having in mind once more
the political conditions in Illinois and the
election of Senator Lorimer. He said
that when it came to corruption he
recognized no party lines.
