in yesterday from Liverpool, the failure

probably due to the Croat amount of wire

it is Bjaaerany b^li«=vcd thai the confusion

are largely responsible for the absence of

not a Cast steamship and is due here on

the colonel's remarks with reasonable
enthusiasm, but there were not more
than three thousand of the workmen
who availed themselves of the oppor
tunity.
Roosevelt Sees Victory.
The Roosevelt special reached Yonkers
just at. noon, and the first man v. pra.sij
the colonel's hand and to extend i.. him
a hearty welcome to Yonkers was Will
iam L. Ward. On learning that lie was
to speak from the balcony of the (Jetty
Souse, Mr. Roosevelt waved aside the
waitinsr automobile and marched through
the streets at the head of the Republi
can Marching Club and in behind the
band, the few streets to (Jetty Square,
When he appeared on the balcony of
the hotel he faced a crowd of not less
than 5,000 people, and despite the crowd
and the noise of autod and teams on the
edges of the assemblage he made all
hear him with apparent ease.
Mr Roosevelt began the second day
of his campaign in this state with an
emphatic prediction of Republican vic
tory. He said that the Democratic
ticket had behind It "the blended forces
o crookei politics typified by Tammany
Hall, and the forces of crooked business.
typified by Wall Street," but he declared
that it did not have behind it the people
of the State of New York as would be
abundantly demonstrated on Election
Day.
Attacks Delany's Candidacy.
.Making the accusation that Murphy
refused to permit the renomination of
Justice Whitney, .Mr. Roosevelt told his
hearers they n." .1 not take his word for
th*» fact, but could satisfy themselves by
referring to the newspapers of February
_" last, which carried the complete state
ment of the facts made at that time by
Mr. Conners, chairman of the Demo
cratic State Committee
Referring; to Delany's appeal to the
corporations on the ground that Mr.
Low's administration had been too hard
on them. .Mr. Roosevelt said: "And the
corporations responded; they answered
the circular. The corporations responded
and backed the man for whom Delany
stood— Just as now th« corporations
that wish dishonest and Improper favors
from the public, not honest corporations,
it spond to a movement to have that
kind of a judj;.^ put on the bench in
place of one like Jud^o Whitney."
"I ask the waj^e workers, the ordinary
citizens, the Abraham Lincoln plain peo
;'"- whether they wish to have thrown
oft the bench a man whose every act.
both on the bench and before he went
on the bench, was in the interest of de
cent citizenship, or whether they will
decide in favor of the candidate of the
combination of Wai! Street and Tam
many Hall, which combined to throw off
the bench a man because neither the
crooked business men nor the crooked
politicians could use him.' thundered the
colonel, with great effect.
"Mr. Dixs Master."
"Mr. Dix says he xv in put a stop to
the 'black h<>rsf» cavalry." " Bald Mr.
Roosevelt, a little later. "Well, the test

beneficial and necessary
The beneficiaries ••' •■ v,..i system, the
men who desired tli. ir worlungnieti to labor
lor excessive hour* under unhygienic condi
tions of course, objected, and through their
lawyers appealed to the courts, and because
11 w;)s of vhal consequence to them to
break down this movement for the better
ment n( labor ronditions they fought the
case rleht through from the lowest to the
lushest court in this state and the nation.
First and last there were twenty-two Judges
who sat in judgment upon this case, and
twelve of these Judges, a clear majority,
dc-cided in favor of the constitutionality of
the New York statute which limited the
liours of labor in an occupation carried on
under oppressive and unwholesome condi
tions.
Decision Against State Rights.
I The other ten became Involved in that class
of legal subtleties which were the light of
I the. mediaeval school. These ten. acting on
i what I regard as an utterly outworn theory,
acting again.st the interest of the laboring
men everywhere and against the right of
j the State of New York to exercise Its
sovereign power to protect the weak against
oppression, decided that 'he law was un
constitutional.
Of those' judsres five were on the Supremo
Court of the United States. The Court of
Appeals of the State of New York, the
highest judicial authority of the state, had
decided that the law was constitutional,
but the Supreme Court of the United
States, by a vote of 5 to 4. decided th.it it
was not and held that the sovereign State
of New York was powerless to right these
wrongs and protect the laboring people.
These live Judges decided that the Consti
tution of the United States forbade our
preventing laboring men from being forced
to work an excessive number of hours un
der unhygienic conditions in an unwhole
some, occupation, and this was a decision
against state rights, against the right of
the state, to act in such a vital matter
where it alone has the power to act.
Yet. with an Insincerity which it is not
too severe to call downright intellectual
dishonesty, Mr. Dix actually says that
when I protest against the decision of the
Supreme Court, which itself is against the
rights of the State of New York, I am ad
vocating centralization of power. He knows
well that my protest was in this ca j e in
favor of state rights. I oelieve in facts,
not formulas: 1 stand for Justice and not
for the use of some formula to defeat jus
tice. Where, as in this case, state rights
and popular rights are identical, I uphold
the rights of the state, just as. where in
order to secure the rights of the people it
is necessary to invoke the power of the
national government, 1 am for national
rights.
Now, you laboring men, I call your at
tention to just what this means ->n the part
of Mr. Dix. He has squarely placed him
self on the side of those who hold that the
state has no power to lighten the burdens
of labor and no power to inter on be
half of wage workers when they were
forced to work for an excessive niimber of
hours under oppressive and unhealthy con
ditions. He has squarely and fairly taken
this position, arid he cannot, without con
victing himself of additional Insincerity,
take any other.
On the other hand, we stand, as every
really far-seeing lawyer who is also a
patriot must stand, for the view upheld by
the four dissenting Justices of the United
States Supreme — Messrs. White.
Holmes. Day and Harlan — and by the ma-
Jprity of the Court of Appeals of the State
of New York.
We hold that the .*tato has th«» power,
that it is the duty of the state to guard
the welfare of the people, and to see to it
that the wage workers are not obliged to
labor an excessive number of hours under
oppressive and unhealthy conditions. The
Issue Is squarely joined."
D.x's Tariff Record.
Are you In favor of electing Mr. r»ix, who
believes that the state has no' such power
and cannot protect from such oppression
its citizens who labor with their hands, or
do you believe, as we do, that the state has
the power and the right and the duty to
exercise it. Mr. Dtx. when faced by such
an alternative, may verjvpossibly endeavor
to Bay that nevertheless be is labor's
friend. Of course, any one will make a gen
eral statement like that. The worth of Mr.
Dixs promises can he gauged by his atti
tude on the tariff if. has expressed dis
content with the present tariff, because It
Is not low enough, and yet while that tariff
was being made his partner, acting for his
firm, did all he could to ba\o the tariff
raised on the goods in which the firm was
interested. Tn other words, Mr. Dix now
~.t he wishes to have the tariff lowered
on everything that afr«ct« somebody else,
but when put to the test, he did his best
t<- have It raised on what affected him
tejf.
I hnve peen th«» statement advanced that
it was only his partner and not himself
that made the, request. Mr. Dix cannot
tbrow off his responsibility on his wicked
partner or other member? of "Wall Paper
Twins." If elected ;ls Governor you would
find thai he would behave 1" puMl life
just as in private Hfe he behaved about

Stimson's Fine- Record.
From th<» locomotive works Mr. Roose
veil hastened to the General Electric
Works, where he found a crowd of ovr
five thousand men awaiting him. He told
the story of the Saratoga convention, re
cited his own record »s an advocate of
legislation In the Interest of th« laboring
men, defined his hatred of the crook,
whether he be a rich man or a brick
layer, and then related the public history
of Henry I* Stimson.
He told how Ptinison had prosecuted
the Sugar Trust, how he had faced the
most powerful political and social in
fluences, and had never been deterred
from doing whatever he conceived to be
his duty, even to the. extent of refusing
to appoint •) young man in his office
whom, aa President, Mr Roosevelt had
recommended to him
It .-.'ii to be .said that you could not
put a rich man in penitentiary." said
the colonel. "Well. 1 have disproved
that fact. I have pat a number then.
Including two United States Senators, a.
secretary of a augur trust, the banker.
Morse, and <*- number of others, and
Harry Stimson is the, -ran who has done
most of this pood work. Ho has made
the Sugar Trust disgorge $3,250,000, and
he has been a terror to corrupt corporate
interests."
Mr. Roosevelt said he pleaded guilty to
Din's charge that ho himself -.>.*.« "an
agent of destruction." "I am," aaid th*
colonel, "an agent of destruction to the
Susjar Trust and to the big crook gen
erally. But T want to do full Justice to
Mr. Dix. H" will never be an agent of
destruction to any powerful Interest, ho
eause his master, Mr. Murphy, won't let
him b"."
Roosevelt's Work for Labor.
Mr. Roosevelt recited the number of
laws he had succeeded in Inducing Con
gress to pa.ss In the interest of labor, and
as the friend of laboring* man he ap
pealed for the support of in. lal.oring
man '" Btimson, an appeal which seemed
to f.<ll on anything but deaf ears.
A crowd greeted the Roosevelt special
at Cohoes, but Mr Roosevelt did not
appear during the brief stop that was
made there.
At Troy, the Colonel «-a.-< taken to Bos
ton Hall, where he was greeted by n ca
pacity audience estimated at about 2.500.
His reception was decidedly encourag
ing, and he Immediately launched out on
wh.it he terms one of his "bVst fight Ing
sj>.o.h*.H." Following a glowing testi
tnonia! to tn.- digit charactei and itido-
pendencti •>( .Mi Stlrnson, Colonel Roose-
vlt snid: ■
"I appointed Stimson United States
District Attorney because we had p««£
up a narnber of cases. against the great
cat and meal powerful corporations in
the land, who could command the best
legal talent in the country, and i wished
to put against them the very strongest
man th;it the government could produce.
Mr. Stimson handled his office with a
view ..ijK to its efficiency, bnce I wrote
him a letter asking his consideration Of
a certain candidate for appointment
under him. His letter in response
was In part as follows: 'Although an at
1- active and agreeable fellow, the young
man does not seem to have made quite
the record for force and efficiency in his
former offices which I have heretofore
insisted upon amon? the men whom I
have appointed.' and he never made the
appointment, so you see I can testify
personally that even the man who had
appointed him, the President of the
United States, could not influence him.
The ex-President, speaking of Mr.
Stimson. continued:
He was a constructive prosecutor of the
highest type. Those who are acquainted
with the records at the average "reform"
prosecutor know that in a lamentable num
her of cases there are no convictions under
thorn or else their convictions are reversed
in the highest courts. Hut ail of Stimson's
convictions stood through the highest
courts, and not a single one of his prose
cutions was reversed.
Stimson, Fearless Prosscutor.
lie was slow to condemn, lie never took,
. action unless he was convinced that UMTS
i was a real wrong, but once he had .ten*!
he wan absolutely inflexible. Once his
moral judgment had been made up, no one
could make him change. He struck at trio
root of the evil, never contenting himself
with any man-less important than the very
j highest whom he could get at. lie assailed
I with success the greatest and most power
1 ful combinations and individuals In the
world of finance, the world of politics Jiiid
the world of journalini.
No greater service was ever rendered to
clean journalism than was rendered by
Mr. Stimson when he carried through the
j prosecution against James Gordon Bennett
and "The New York Herald" for sending
obscene matter through the malls. In th»
shape of the scandalous "personal" column
of "The Herald." As all of us know, most
| public men and, for the matter of that,
most private men, fear a rich and power
j ful newspaper.
Bui Mr. Stimson fears nothing -when h»
1 makes up his mind that morality demand*'
that he take a certain action. Every spe
cies of pressure, political, social, business
and personal was brought to bear upon
him Oil behalf of Mr. Bennett, but nothing
made him waver. He brought Mr. Bennett
back from his home on the other side of
the water ami forced him to appear in court
i like any minor offender, and he retained a
I conviction and Mr. Bennett was forced "
pay over ?:;0.0')0 in lines. Stare then "The
New, Viirk Herald" has discontinued Its
shameful "personal" column.
It Is no wonder, under such circumstances,
Mr.' Bennett's paper should assault Mr.
Stimson and those behind Mr. Stinwon
with peculiar malignity. Mr. Ptimson has
richly earned the hostility of "The Herald,"
and it is to his high honor that he earned
It.
Moreover. i wish to point out another fact
in this connection. The newspaper!) in Sew
York which are now supporting the Wall
Street nominee, Mr. Murphy's nominee, Mr.
Dix. Include papers that claimed to he
particular!] virtuous and indeed are often
very virtuous if the offender is merely ■*
small ' politician Instead of ■ big crooked
business man or a big crooked newspaper.
And these newspapers, on this Infamy,
this most hideous form of corruption,
which strikes at the vitals of the home,
b^iriK brought to li.;tit and punishment by
Mr. Stimson. had not a word to say. Not
one of these newspapers — "The World."
"The Evening Post. "The Sun." "The
Times." etc.— save any real pul.li.Mtv to
what Mr. Stimson had done. and. indeed,
for the most pan suppressed all mention
of it. Mr. Heart's newspaper, "The Amer
i i. an."" however, in striking contrast to the
papers I have mentioned, did give full and
proper publicity to the incident, arid by so
doing helped to put a stop to the Inde
cency.
Big Fines Collected.
I appointed Mr. Stimson District Attorney
in lfi>) ajid at once, through the Attorney
General, laid before him the facts which I
thought made if necessary for him to take
action again.st the Sugar Trust and various
other corporations and railroads for rebat
ing. Mr. StimHon started cases and pressed
them to a successful .■. inclusion. He re
covered from the Sugar Trust a fine of
about $168,000. four times us much a* any
fine which ever, up to that date, had been
collected Mr rebatlnz.
He collected about $128,000 for the same
offence from the New Y»>rk Central, and
larpe sums *iso from other railroads, such
as the Rock Island and the Great Northern.
The following year. 1907, I started the in
vestigation!* which led up to the prosecu
tion of the Sugar Trust for defrauding the
government. In August. l?os. the cas*» was*.
at my direction, sent to Mr. Stimson. who
took action and tried the cases during • ■■*
term r -f office, the verdict being rendered
the day after I ••••'■ fie wan com
pWely successful. He secured the convic
tion of several employes and of various
Suarar Trust employes, indicting those men
higher up, a secretary and a director
He got back from the Sugar Trust over
twe million dollars, of which he showed
It had defrauded the government, and from
other corporations out a million more. I*
was one of the most striking victories ever
won — one of he most effective Mows ever
Struck against the corrupt practices of huge,
and powerful corporations Some of the.
men lie convicted stood very high up In
the business •»'orld. rtm<n:r them being one
of the highest officers of a certain hi? rail
road, while the Ice president of another
died under Indictment.
Tt was hts action on th« Sugar Trust
which was so (tally helpful to Mr Loch

House Mr. Samson rendered the utmost:
possible service to the cause of honest busi

brought to light during the panic and

brought him to trial, had him convicted
and sentenced and successfully withstood
the efforts to overthrow the conviction In

A urge majority of the hankers of th«
city and very many men high In financial
circles had endeavored to secure- a separate
trial for Curtiss, Mr. Morse's accomplice.
Nothing could alter Mr. Sthnsori a attitude,
and the two defendants were tried to
gather.
In actual practice, therefore— by d*»»d.«.
not by words— Mr. Stimson has shown that
he !■» ib)e to clean foul journalism. to
punish crooked business and clean out
crooked politics. He baa shown that no
influence of any kind affects him in any

BAPvNES INTERROGATES DIX
Asks Candidate How He Reconciles His
Attitudes on Tariff
[Ry raleajapa t?» Trie Tribune 1
Albany, Oct. 17.— 1n an editorial to-night
William Barnes, jr.. Bays:
John A. :"\. Democratic candidate for
Governor, still owes an answer to th
nuestlon put by Mr. Stimson. his Repub
lican opponent, how he can reconcile his
efforts to secure •» high tariff upon an arti
cle In the manufacture of which he is in
terested with his present campaign advo
cac> Of tariff reduction Mr. Dix was en
tirely In the rlcht when he demanded th;rt
h horn.- industry, in which large capital
Is invested and which elves employment
to many, should have it« proper share of
protection. Bui he cannot be likewise
right when he now professe* a desire for
tariff eduction
A man whose insincerity la in evidence
cannot nxpeci the public confidence trurt
■ man must have to be elected to a posi
tion of high honor and responsibility.
in another editorial Mr. Barnes explains
thai the causes of the lan rased cost of
maintaining the state government are du
mainly to the Increased demands mad- on
the state. After citing these demands
Mr. Barnes continues:
There Is not one fraction of the total
Increase which the Legislature of 1910
could • v withheld without living Itself
open to a charge of being raise to Its
stewardship. If the rtemocrats had been
in control of tin- Legislature, would they
have denied to the hospitals the sums de
manded for the cars of the state's unfort
