 LaFollettc. of Wisconsin. who has
 announced his candidacy for the pro
 gressiVe republican presidential
 nomination. In connection with the
 senator's coming here there was po-
 litical gossip to the effect that Col
 onel Roosevelt might also appear at
 the Carnegie hall mass meeting with
 LaFollette. and might possibly lend
 assistance to his boom The colonel
 was not present. Instead. he attend
 ed a dinner given by several promi-
 nent leaders in charity work. Gif-
 ford Pinchot close friend of former
 President Roosevelt and who has
 been regarded as a staunch lieutenant df his appeared with LaFollette and presided at the meeting. While the meeting was under way the crowd that sought admittance grew to such large proportions the police refused to allow any further tax upon the capacity O. the large hall.

 "I too. mean business the senator said That's why I am regarded as a dangerous man. I believe. contrary to rumors | have heard. the men and women of New York do care for this republic and are interested in it's well fare. Our fathers provided that each state send two representatives to con gress not to represent the Standard oil trust. the steel trust. or the mon ey trust out an the people of the state I do not fear if corruption fought boldly in the open. l fear it because it fights under cover and be- hind closed doors"

 When h. mentioned the recall of the judiciary a voice in the gallery shouted:
 Would you recall a judge"
 .I favor the recall of the judiciary" he replied ':I favor the recall of the judiciary with restrictions and with which I would not surround the recall of legislators. or executives. | believe when courts forget their functions and usurp the functions of the legislature by writ l ing words into the law there is justi- l fication for the recall of the judiciary. ! I believe women have the same right | to express their political judgment on ! questions that affect them as the | men"
 Tn introducing Senator LaFollette | Pinchot said:
 Two great parallel questions are | today in possession of the public mind. | the conservative movement and the | movement" declared Mir. | Pinchot.
