ATTORNEY M'COY SAYS ROOSEVELT IS ARRANT FAK|R
New Haven Speaker Arouses Enthusiasm in Address
 Before Wilson Club.

Calling Col. Theodore Roosevelt the most arrant political fakir this country has ever produced and de- c1aring that he had been promised a place in the Hughes cabinet if the Re- publicans are successful this fall, At torney Daniel J. Mccoy of New Ha- ven, addressed the members of the Young Mems Woodrow Wilson club in their rooms in the Beers building last night. Attorney Mccoy made stirring address which was received with close attention and he was frequently in- terrupted by cheers and applause. Attorney Mccoy declared that the Wilson administration stood as the Democratic party has ever stood, against special privilege, but that the Republican party is now and ever has been for special privilege. This is why so many Republicans are for 4n- tervention in Mexico. With the Gug- genheims and William Randolph Hearsts many of them have made large investments in Mexico in hope of getting large and quick returns. Now they want to take the United of the fire.
 
 constructive legislation which he said was the crowning glory of the Presi- dents administration. He explained the Federal Reserve bill, which, he said. would prevent financial panics such as the country has already ex- perienced; also the Rural Credit act, Income Tax law, Child Labor law, non partisan tariff commission and the Clayton act
 Secretary of the Navy Daniels, he said, had been subjected to most siH- ister attacks because he has dared to go, contrary to the wishes of a special privileged class. He cited the fact that the secretary forbade the serving of wine at the officers mess on board ships. He has saved the government millions in armor plate costs by his efforts to establish government ar nor plate shop, thus forced the man. ufacturers -r the plate to sell more cheaply.
 His attitude in taking the wine from the officers mess and of giving enlisted men "a chance to rise from the ranks by attending School has arrayed against the secretary a. class of snop- bish commissioned officers who seek to establish in this country an aristoc~ racy similar to that of Europe.
 Attorney Mccoy ridiculed the ex- planation by Hughes that he would have gone to the people, direct for vim dication if confronted by the threat ened nationwide railroad strike.
 ''I can readily understand why the citizen who is reaping $100,000, $500,- 900 or s1,0O0,000 should vote for Hughes, but the average citizen, if he, stops to study the progressive meas ures which have been put through during the last three years and half. cannot help but cast his. ballot for the re-e1ectfon Of woodrow Wilson," he said in closing.
