Albany. Oct. 8 Theodore Roosevelt,
at a packed meeting in Odd Fellows
Hall tonight finished up a day of
spccchmaking in Hudson River cities
and towns, including Kingston, Hudson,
Catskill, Chatham and Troy. With
Frederick NJ. Davenport, the Progress
size candidate for Governor, he ar
rived at the Albany hall from Troy at
10 o'clock.
MIR. Roosevelt continued TO turn the
brunt of his attacks or William Barnes
and Charles S. Whitman, but paid little
attention to either Charles +. Murphy
or Governor Glynn.
lie made no attempt to answer the
charge Of Republican organization men,
appearing in an Albany afternoon pa
per. that there was bipartisan com
binc between the Democrats and Pro
gressi es resulting III the selection last
winter by the Legislature Of Homer d..
Call, a Progressive, as state Treasurer.
lie declared, however. that Mr.. Barnes
had played into the hands OF the Dem
ocratc party.
"Mr. Barnes he said, calls the
ProgresSves Democratic aids, but |
charge that he himself is the greatest
asset to the Democratic party in the
nation. He says he Is shocked at the
Progressives. yet he has just NOM
mated Mr. Whitman for Governor, who
one year ago accepted the Murphy nom
nation for District Attorney of New
York aud thereby became great Tam
many asset.
LET MIR. Barnes ponder in sackcloth
and ashes on these deeds Of his, and
then let him retract anything else he
may nave to say about any other man
as an aid to the Democratic party
Mr.. Roosevelt said that the men who
at the primary voted FOR Harvey ID.
Hinman, in the Republican party, and
John A. Hennessy in the Democratic
party were in sympathy with the Pro
gressive movement. and he criticised
both those candidates for not contlnu-
ing lhc Gght after the primary.
Senator Davenport hailed Roosevelt
rs the man selected by former Govern
or Hughes to carry on the fight in TINS
state that he had begun.
Attacks on District Attorney Whit
man. the Republican candidate for
Governor. by Colonel Roosevelt stirred
up hornets nest yesterday. Mr.
Whitman on his return from Newport,
in the morning, at once made a vigorous
denial Of the statement that he had told
Colonel Roosevelt he had voted for
him in 1912. lie asserted he had not
sought the Progressive nomination for
Governor, nut il he had sought 1t he
could have had it.
Chairman Frederick c. Tanner of the
Republican State Committee SAID that
the alignment against Mr.. Whitman was
revealed right at the start oi the cam
paign. ,.
Welt and William Randolph Hearst nave
ioined hands to elect Glynn." he SAID.
"Nr. Davenport IS negiiGIbie guam
titv. His candidacy is OF no lmpor-
tance except as a peg to hang Mr..
Roosevelts speechmakIne tour on. Re
yeuge. and revenge only, appears to be
Mr.. Roosevclt's motive, and everything
he saws should be read in that hight
Further. whether he admits 1t OF not,
he is nothing more nor less III ms
campaign than the ally Of Tammany
Hall"
Whitman Answers Roosevelt.
There are just four things that
Roosevelt charges said Mr.. Whitman
as soon a. he had read the calIlpa'e"
remarks Of the Colonel.
"He says that am the tool OF barnes
and Murphy. That is not true.
"IIe says that ! promised hlm not 20
Iun for Governor if he would support
me for Mayor last fall. DO not recall
the exact words of that conversation
il occurred a year and hal ago; II

pressivcs support you for Mayor VIC 40
