MENTION SULzER
Though Candidate for Governor

Brooklyn Meeting.

Not Business.

Not Business.
Governor woodrow Wilson spoke at the
first big meeting Of the campaign IN
Brooklyn at the Academy of Music last
night and did not mention the name Of
"BnT Sulzer, the Democratic candidate
for Governor Of New York, nor Of any
of the other Democratic state candidates.
And next to Governor Wilson Mr.. Sulzer
was the star speaker OF the meeting.
Mir. Sulzer reached the meeting after
Governor Wilson had left, but he, too,
nearly precipitated a riot by attacking
both President Taft and Colonel Roose-
welt. He referred to the colonel as a can
ddate floating on an island of personal
pronouns" When attacking President
Taft for his stand on the tariff
some one in the audience shouted. "Will
you explain why the tariff in President
CIeveland's time produced hard t!mes?'
When Governor Wilson reached the
al Citorium every seat in the big theatre
was filled and many persons were stand
ing. John McCooey, Charles F. Murphys
representative in Brooklyn, acted as the
leader OF the committee which escorted
the Democratic candidate for President
10 the academy, and it apparently was
big night for John, if the huge smile that
overspread his face counted for anything.
Governor Wilson said that the business
men of the country had nothing TO be
afraid Of in the Democratic party. III
believed that was the enemy Of honest
business" he said, II would get off this
platform"
The trouble with most business men, ne
said. was that they were afraid to vent
ure out without the aid Of the govern
ment. There was no necessity for the
business men Of this country, he SAID
TO be tied to anybody's apron strings Tor
the American business man was the SUI
perior Of any in the world.

would not be so timid that / had to be

He continued:

Mr. Wilson spoke as though he was
closing his campaign, for he had not gone
very tar in his address before he said;

discuss the question: Just where do we

No mention Of either Colonel Roosevelt
or President Taft was made by Governor
Wilson, although he had words Of praise
for senator La Toilette. The nearest he
came to President Taft was when he said:

The New jersey Governor also discussed
monopoly at some length. He said:
A monopoly Of manufacture is not to
be compared with mat root monopoly OF
all, namely, the monopoly OF me lDhu-
