Stealing His Thunder-Bull

When Bands Appear.


Troy, n. Y, Oct lS.-Representative
William sulzer. candidate for Governor,
and Martin II. Glynn. ex-Controller of New
York, his running mate on the Democratic
ticket, left New York for their tour Of the
state In search OF votes this morning at
o'clock from Track o. The soft splendor
OF a perfect Indian summer day sur
rounded their departure with the same
auspiciousness which Heaven bestowed
on Oscar S. Straus when he started his
upstate campaign and on Job Z. Hedges
when he made his first dash into the re-
gions above Spuyten DuyTl.
The people of the Empire State reflected
the same cordial feelings this evening on
his arrival in this city. After dinner at
the Rensselaer, Hotel the candidate was
escorted to St. Josephs Hall, in South
Troy, by a cheering throng Of nearly five
thousand persons, held 10 the pitch Of
enthusiasm by no fewer than seven bands
Of music and two drum corps, which stole
away the audience OF Arthur Tilden
Eagan Progressive orator, who was ad-
dressing a meeting at River and Fulton
streets. Mr. Eagan was talking from the
platform OF the great moving van which
has carried the first division Of the flying
squadron OF the Bull Moose state com
mittee through thirty counties since It
left New York on August /, but the I'M
Eagan 10 shut up shop and watch the
procession with the rest.
Would Be Best Governor Since Tilden.
Introduced by Seymour Van Santvoord,
legal adviser of Governor Dix. Mr.. Sulzer
spoke on practically every plank In the
Democratic platform, laying particular
emphasis on his love for the workingman.
He said that he was a friend Of the army
and OF the navy, and assured his hearers
that, II elected, he would try TO make the
best Governor this state had ever seen
since the historic days OF Samuel J.
Tilden.
Troy was the tenth place on the first
days schedule, but only the third big
enough TO demand indoor meetings.
Poughkeepsie. where the candidates were
welcomed by nearly one thousand per-
, sons In the Opera House, and Hudson,
where the City Hall held six hundred
| listeners, were the other two. At the
other stops Mr.. Sulzer addressed the citi-
zens either from the rear platform OF his
| special car. Iolanthe. or from an impro-
yised platform at the station. These ten
minute stops included Tarrytown, ossin-
! ing, Peekskill, Cold Spring, Ffshkill,
Chatham and Rensselaer,.
! The crowds varied between 100 and so,
and unburdened fair amount OF enthu-
slasm, considering the difficulties OF plat
form campaigning. Mr.. Sulzer told nearly
every one OF his audiences that he was
not making partisan speeches In this cam
paign. and indeed he did not once during
the day mention directly or indirectly any
OF his opponents.
Mr.. Glynn however, took a crack at
/ botn President Taft and Colonel Roose-
Welt, though he tempered the latter out Ct
respect for the colonels condition. Mr..
| Glynns reference to the head Bull Moose
was delivered before the people Of Chat
ham He said:
In this campaign Mr.. Roosevelt is the
! candidate Of himself. | should like to
| say a lot OF things about Mr.. Roosevelt,
| but the assassin's bullet which laid him
| low the other day prevents our attack
| ing him until he comes back I'm the game
| again.
Republican Split Will Elect Him.
Mr.. Suffers reason for not emphasizing
politics was different from that given by
] his Progressive opponent when he began
| his tour of the state. Mr. Straus re-
Trained from going into the subject be-
cause he professed to be no politician, but
Mr.. Sulzer explained that he was so con-
ndent OF winning that any partisan discus
| sion was unnecessary. What he charac-
terized as the split In the Republican
party was the main point on which the
Democratic nominee rested this conf
dence. He congratulated half Of the Re
publicans. at any rate, on their fearless
ness In 30 far living UP to the conviction
that the party had failed to redeem its
pledges that they were willing to help de-
feat 1t. To the people OF Peekskill he
said:
II I had always been Republican; II
| always intended to be a Republican,
would vote the Democratic ticket this
year, to rebuke my party because II had
not kept faith with the people. The Re-
publicans promised you four years ago
that they would reduce your tariff taxes
on the necessaries OF life, but they have
failed TO keep the promise, and to-day
| every man. every woman, every child In
all America feels the pinch OF poverty on
the necessaries of life II any of you
doubt II, ask your wife, and II any of
| you haven't got a wife | am sorry for
\ you.
Turning his batteries on his other
enemies, the Progressives, Mr.. Sulzer ac-
cused them OF stealing his thunder. He
was backed nobly in this attack by the
candidate for Lieutenant Governor who
thus introduced him to the audience at
| Poughkeepsie:
| For Governor We present TO you the
1 greatest progressive OF progressves of
| the last twenty-five years. Not satisfied
with stealing the principles OF the Demo-
| cratic party the third termers have stolen
| the real name of the Democratic party
| the Progressive marty
