STIMSON DESPAIRS OF
ANSWERS FROM DIX
Doesn't Believe His Opponent
Can Obtain Murphy's Per
mission to Speak.
CHALLENGES JUDGE PARKER
Candidate Asks Him to Specify
Wherein Republicans Have
Been Extravagant — Shows
Up Tammany.

Geneva. X. Y. Oct. 21.— Henry I*.
Ftimson. Republican candidate for Gov
ernor, ended a day of campaigning in
Ontario County with a hip and enthusi
aFtjc meertinp: here to-night. He spoke
four times— at Canandai^ua, at Phelps,
very briefly: at Clifton Springs and at
the ni?ht meeting here. Back time he
called on John A. I»ix. his Democratic
opponent, to come nut and tell where he
stands on the issues of the campaign.
Mr. Stimson maintains that the people
of the* state have a right to know
•whether Mr Dix and his Democratic
friends and advisers, Charles F. Murphy.
of Tammany. ex-Judpc Parker. William
F. Shoehan and others, of Wall Street.
-would undo the -work of Governor
Hughes. He and Speaker W'adsworth
rang the changes on that all day. Each
declared vigorously that the Public Ser
vice Commissions and the anti-gambling
lav -s and the State Highway Commis
sion meant T " r> much to the people to
have a Democratic administration which
•would bP likely to wipe them out «=lide
IBM office through any misunderstand
ing.
The Republicans haxen't any great no
tion thai Mr. Dix -Rill answer their
queries. Their questions to-day were
directM rather to Murphy, of Tammany
Hall, than to Mr. INK. The man who
summoned delegates and party leaders
to Room 212 during the Rochester con
vention and from there dictated the
Democratic ticket was the rrian to an-
F , fT their questions, they maintained.
Every time Mr. sliTn -' riri reiterated his
queries to Dlx. coupled with the state
- at that he feared hla opponent could
not obtain Murphy's permission to state
his position on any of the issues, the au
di*»nc* guffawed at the helpless near
l candidate who has to get Murphy's 0 X
to c verything.

It was at CanandaJgrua that Mr. Stlm-
Wtm replied to Judge Parker on the "ex
travagance issue." He said he thought
it particularly appropriate to speak of it
there, in the home town of Controller
Clark Williams, and added:
T am afraid Judge Parker hasn't been
reading my speeches. At practically every
place where 1 have spoken I have tlKl> "
up that issue, but before you can take up
the general issue of extravagance. > ou
must tind out what the charge is; ■ > f lor '?
you meet a case in court, you are entit
to know the complaint; and although i
have N-fii asking now for two weeks wna
the specifications of this charge were, not
even Judge Parker himself has furnished
me with any of them. They say that me
budget of the State has increase. i It un
doubtedly has. Hut the efficiency of tne
Flute government has also increase". ana
the efllciency costs money. And tien I
have asked my opponents which ones of " ie
different Items of Increase, going over
them, they would choose to have as cut
out. I have had no answer. .
Now. I deem it to be a rather appropriate
thing in this town, this old home of J- lal
Williams, our present Controller, to take Up
that subject, because if there has been one
niece of constructive legislation which is
important to the people of the state. it has
been the law enacted by our Republican
Legislature which has changed the chaotic
system which formerly existed in state
finances, on the suggestion of Mr. Williams,
to a scientific and business basis of arrang
ing our budget. Now. the first thing that
1 have just pointed out is that it is a little
difficult to reply to this general charge
until they specify what it is they think
they should have cut out.
Charitable Institutions improved.
We have T»een improving our charities,
cur prisons and our asylums. The insane
of this state increase, according to statis
tics, at the ratio of nearly one thousand
a year, which makes necessary the build
lag of ■ new asylum at least every three
rears Our system of treatment of the
criminal under" the enlightened administra
tion of Governor Hughes and the prison
commissioners whom be has appointed has
achieved a standard which is much nearer
that of an enlightened republic than it
used to be. and all of those things cost
money. Our labor laws have been amended
SO as* to require closer inspection of fac
tories in the interest of protecting work
men's limbs and lives, and that alone has
required SI?./*) additional expenditure: but
M far I have been unable to find from
my opponents a single one of those items
which they would. If they were in offices,
cut out: so It ha« been left for me to taKe
the aggressive, to penetrate through their
silence and try to find out what they were
really driving at. .
When I examine their ticket and their
platform 1 can make a guess, in spite of
their silence, at what they are driving.
They have nominated for the two places
on the Democratic state ticket which have
most to do with the administration of state
finances the offices of Controller and State
Kneineer-two men from my city whose
only experience in public life hitherto has
been as officeholders under an organization
known as Tammany Hall; so I think it is
fair inference, when you consider that
fact, and when you consider also the fact
that Tammany HhII controlled the Ro
chester convention, that they propose to
substitute for what they call the "extrava :
gance" of Governor Hughes the • economy
of Tammany Hall. „,,,- _
1 have lived where Tammany Hall lives.
I have studied It at close range, and I
should like to give you lust one or two
illustrations, which you sober minded voter*
of this town can take borne and think over,
as some of the issues of this campaign, and
which may enable you to realize what it
means to introduce Tammany Hall econ
omy into the state government. In the tir«
place, during the twelve years since New
York City was consolidated, the budget of
that city has Increased I* per cent. »s
against an increase of about half that
amount In the state government during the
same time.
Difference in Financial Method.
[■ the first place, there Is a difference in
the fundamental methods of the matter of
the finances of the two administrations
which 1 want to call your attention to an. l
which I should like to have you think over.
Now. In the state government under Gov
ernor Hughes, whenever the state has been
obliged t<i construct what we would call a
permanent Improvement, like a new hos
pital or a new agricultural college, a new
1-ylum or any other building in the nature
of " permanent plant, except only the two
Kreat improvements known as the canal
improvement and the highway improve
1 ment which stand on a (separate basis—
i wbenevei tliev have constructed any per
j mam-nt plant of any character whatever
outside of those tw<>, it lias been the meth
i od and the pra~ti<-e of the Republican state
i administration to pay for such improve
ments out of current income.
In other words, they have paid as th<=>
have roue slorg. without Issuing bonds
i In the cas* of the canal and In the case of
the higmvavs. under direct authority of
! the people of t)*< r-tiiu-. by referendum, they
| have been authorized to Issue bonds and, ii
necessary to impose ■ dire.: tax. but even
1 there, while they have issued bonds, they
; have paid the Interest on those bonds with
1 out any direct tax so far, although they
I had the authority of the vote of the peo
j ple of the sutofto Impose such a direct
Now that system of finances is a most
conservative system it is far more con
servative than the approved system which
i Is In effect in our Kreat corporations, our
railroads and our other great Industrial
corporations. Whenever a railroad pur
chases a plant it considers it perfectly
legitimate to issue bond? or issue stock for
! that purpose. and to that extent increase
'its capital or its bonded debt; but under
this extraviisant administration of Gov
ernor Hughes the state of New York has
paid for everything that it got as it went
i alone atxl there is. no debt left standing on
I the people. Everything is paid for as it
£oes
Now l.i us turn for a minute to the
system which Is in effect in New York City.
l' had occasion to look that up last year
when we were in a municipal campaign.
and this Is the system that they have em
ployed there. Not only have they issued
city stock the case of New York City
It is stock that they issue, and not bonds,
as you may know— they not only have
issued city ttock for all of these perma
nent improvements which they have made,
but they have Issued city stock for the.ir
current expenses In many cases. They
have issued, whenever they got into a tiKht
place and needed money for some current
expense, we found on lo'ikins Into their
finances last year, that they had issued
stork for it; and the committee of one
hundred which collected and produced Hie
statistics on which the election last year
«-a« won against Tammany Hail found that
ihe city of New York wns still paying In
terest on st<H-k that had been issue.] for
such thing* an the celebration of the open
ing of the Willlamsburg Bridge, which had
fc^m Issued for rnuxic on the recreation
piers, which had l.eon issued for soap to
Hean the city «flV<Js, and for whips in the
Pepartment of Street Cleaning.
Think of it! I'nder a Tammany adminis
tration the city Is still paving interest on
stock Issued to l>av for music the notes of
which died away five years ngo (Applause).
And lat Is the kind of administration that
they are proposing to introduce m place of
the*extravaK<iic-e of Governor Hughes. Now
When they talk about extravagance there t
want you to think of Just that difference of
methods; I ".an' yon 10 think of the iftf
fereiif« in the rate of increase of th.- debt
and of the budget with the state and the
city administration* side by side When
they talk to you about bringlMi a business
man— a business man — In to take charge or
the ft»t«- in place of this lawyer, Governor
Hushes, think of the buaistMM methods
which cro with his associate?. Do you think
that the bUSln—Ji methods of Tammany
Kan are better for the State of New York
than the lawyer methods of Governor
Hughe* and of the Republican administra
tion which nan stood behind him during
these years? There Is a sample of them.
Mr. Stims'-n alluded to the recent,
racetrack bribery disclosures. He said
that Jim Gaffney, .-< Tammany man, oar
ri^d the racetrack corruption fund to
Albany and that Thomas V. Grady, the
Tammany leader In the Lrgislstuie. re
oelved a pr«=at slice of th*> fund He ..>]
dr. ssed a direct question to Dix asking
if the latter would sign or refuse to slrii
racetrack legislation. Mr. Stimson read
a letter written by him to Hughes on
April 9. IMS, in \-^)i< h he stated his pod
tion an the gambling question, and re
iterated that his position now was bo
new one.

ROOSEVELT INDORSES
TAFT'S TARIFF POLICY
Says President Has Pointed the
Way the Party Is to
Follow.
TARIFF BOARD COMMENDED
Ex-President in Boston De
nounces Murphy and Tam
many Methods — Urges Re
election Lodge and Draper.
p<>stnn, Oct. 21.— Ex-President Roosevelt
addressed a great Republican meetins here
to-niKht. advocating the re-election of Sen
ator l^odge arid Governor Draper. He de
voted much attention to the tariff ques
tion, especially commending the plan for
a tariff board, in which, lie said. Presi
dent Taft had pointed the way the party
was to follow.
He denounced Eukpup N. Fops, the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor, as a man
who sought to rai.^o himself in public life
by means of the power of money. Me added
praise of CJovernor Draper to commenda
tion of Senator Ix»dsre. and said that Mas
sachusetts really was a progressive state.
Mr. Roosevelt's reception in Boston was
enthusiastic He spent the afternoon at
the home of Dr. William B. Blgetow. a
brother-in-law of Senator T,odße. hut when
be appeared in public to-night the people
pave him ore of the most striking demon
strations he has received since his return
from Africa
Massachusetts Republicans had awaited
his .-neecii with interest, in view of his
statement that lie did not approve thp New
York RepuMit an tariff plank in its entirety.
and in view of his speeches last week in
support of Senator Beveridge. of Indiana,
who voted against the Payne-Aldrich bill.
When Mr. Roosevelt arrived at the hall
where the meeting was Ivld he found
awaiting him a crowd which thronged thp
great building Thousands of persons who
w<=re unable to pain admittance blocked
tbe street outside. As he mounted the
platform he lecetved an enthusiastic greet
ing. The audience cheered tumultuously.
while he storvd on the platform and smiled
There was more applause when he was in
troduced by ex-CJovernor John 1.. Bates.
■ T cant claim any merit for coming
here.' said Mr. Roosevelt, in beginning his
speech, "for 1 have for many years come
to Massachusetts, not to give strength, but
to get it.
"The opponent of Governor Draper h?s
said that the tariff is an issue in this
campaign." h« continued. "All I ask is
that the voters compare the attitude of
the two parties in regard to the tariff. On
the Republican side tiiere is no difference
a>- to the principle to be observed. In every
state the Republicans are a unit in ad
herence to th« ;>ritviple expressed in tbe
Republican platform, that there shall be an
equalisation Of the cost of production here
:,nd abroad. The difference lias merely
been as to the way of aehievine the com
mon purpose, and more and more we are
coining into complete harmony as to the
method to be adopted
"(Mir opponents have no such harmony.
They know that if they had a majority in
Congress and tried to build up a tariff they
would do as they have done. They would
build up a protective tariff, not as a mat
ter of principle, but as a matter of favorit
ism."
Commends Tariff Board Plan.
]{i> then read and commended the tariff
plank in the Massachusetts Republican
platform, which indorses the plan for a
tariff board. He said President Taft, by
working for the tariff board and for satis
factory tariff relations with foreign coun
tries, had pointed the way which th« party
was to follow
Experience ha« shown that the present
system of tariff making is unsatisfactory,"
lie continued- "Our principles were rleht
in the past. We propose to adopt methods
which shall guarantee th« principle* 1.-iiik'
carried out with justice and equity. Our
opponents say that as our principle is just
and our methods Incorrect, we'll adhere to
the methods and oppose the, principle. That
is a perfectly just and scientifically correct
description of the difference between the
attitude of ourselves and our opponents."
Mr. Roosevelt then spoke of the leader
ship of the Democratic party by William J.
Bryan and Alton B. Parker.
••Mr. Bryan went on the lecture plat
form." he said, "and Mr. Parker became
attorney for the Sugar Trust. He was at
torney for the Bugar Trust when Henry U
Btlmson. now Republican candidate for
Governor of New York. Was prosecuting it
for rebating. Mr. Stimson recovered H70.000
despite the efforts of Mr. Parker, and Mr.
Parker now takes a Jaundiced view of Mr.
Btimson as a candidate for Governor."
He went on to describe the Democratic
State Convention In New York, repeating
the assertion that it was dominated by
rharle* F. Murphy, the leader of Tammany
Hall.
Says Foss Has No Public Record.
Taking up the Massachusetts situation,
Mr Roosevelt assailed ESugene N Foss,
Democratic candidate for Governor.
•it would be a bad thing for the i pie
at this state." be said, "to elect a man
who. having tried to dominate one party
■nd having failed, now seeks to dominate
another party It would be a bad thing to
elect ;i man WOH has made Ms money by
speculation in Mocks and who now seeks
!., rise In political life, not by his public
record, for he ha* none, but by the nnk<-.i
fon-e of effrontery and the power that
comes from monej
• I a-I» your support for Governor Draper
because he embodies In the highest form
supreme and unbending Integrity, unflinch
ing courage and absolute and perfect
frankness and Mncerity of character Owe
absolutely vital need is tnai the American
p. opU- shall support and continue to send
mto public life men of unbending courage,
who '.m !«• depended upon to make theli
deeds square absolutely with their words
in every public promise. "
Massachusetts, said Mr. Roosevelt, Is
really ■' progressive state in spite of the
fact that other states were apt to ascribe
to h*r eoaservatlMa she did not have. He
said he was radical because be espoused
some things Massachusetts already had
adopted, such as the physical valuation of
railroads The who), Republican party
was progressive.
"The whole party," be continued, "should
stand for Just sucb legislation as the types
I have mentioned her-- I nave spoken this
summer from the Rocky Mountains to Bos
ton Harbor, and everywhere I have advo
cated Just what i have advocated h(*re to
night as regard* every important question
1,, -fore us fo-- national consideration.''
Mr. Roosevelt closed his speech with a
tribute to Senator Lodge and an appeal to
the people of Massachusetts to nd him
back to the Senate He said he had
watched the work of the Senator in Wash
ington for a quarter of a century.
"I feel It would he a calamity not only to
Massachusetts but to the nation." he con
tinued, ""if Senator Lodge wars not re
turned to the Senate. Senator I.<»U'«» has
Stood for progressive legislation I ask
that Massachusetts be true to its great tra
ditions of the past and send back to the
United States Senate for the honor Of the
country that state*man who has himself
been true to her traditions."
Governor Draper asked for support on
the record the Republican Legislature has
made and my record as Governor." He
said that "Massachusetts occupies n lea.l
ing position among all the Mat*-* In the
union for progressive and wise legislation."
and declared that this was brought about
by the Republican party.
Senator Lodge spoke briefly. He was ap
plauded when he paid thai the Republicans
of Massachusetts never had had any bosses.
Senator Crane declined to make an ad
dress. Th« crowd rave him three cheers.
CALLS DX "HUPPUCHRUE"
W.R.Hearst Has New Term for
Democratic Candidate.
SHEARN SPEAKS FOR HIM
League Head Unable to Attend
Meetings — Says Trusts Dic
tated to Murphy.
"HuppuchritPs" is the term ,which Will
lam Randolph Hearst has applied to John
A. Dlx and Ills campaign manager, and by
that term he will refer to them in the fut
ure. This was one of the announcements
In a speech which was delivered last nl«ht
by Clarence J. Shearn at the Manhattan
Casino and at Niblo's Garden, in the name
of the Independence League candidate for
Lieutenant Governor.
Mr. Hearst was scheduled to speak at
both meetings, but later it was announced
that he was detained at home by a cold
and that Mr. Shearn would read his speech.
At the Manhattan Casino about five hun
dred persons had gathered when the chair
man. James Brcwn, opened the meeting.
The crowd, however, kept pouring in. and
by the time John J. Hopper, the candidate
for Governor, addressed the meetinp. there
were over nine hundred present. When,
after Henry George. Jr.. and Assemblyman
Hfsgins had spoken, it was announced that
Mr. Hearst could not come, there was an
exodus, but those who did remain cheered
the words of the league leader, which lost
nothing in their delivery by Mr. Shearn.
After recalling that he had warned the
people against the evils of corruption which
had recently been exposed, Mr. Hearst pro
ceeded to exhort the electors to give up
party ties and vote for independent men of
all parties, under the Independence League
emblem Referring to the nomination of
John A. Div, he said:
"Trusts Dictated to Murphy."
•You know th^t a l<<t of Murphy's mar
ionettes sat in a public hall and said 'Aye*
when Murphy pulled one strinp. and 'No'
when Murphy polled another. You know
that a lot of trusts sat with Mr Murphy
fn a private room and told Mr. Murphy
when to pull the strinc that registered
'Aye' and the one that registered 'No.'
'■You know that Mr. Murphy nominatpd
Mr. Dtx and that the trust? ToM Mr.
Murphy to nominate Mr. Dix and that
trust money was paid for the nomination
of Mr. Dix and that trust money will be
used in an effort to plpct Mr. Dix."
Referring to the public declaration of Mr.
f>ix and Mr. Huppnch on the tariff and
their negotiations to have the tariff on
wall paper raised, he said:
"Mr. Dta and Mr. Huppuch say that
they are opposed to thp hi eh cost of living,
but they do everything they can to in
crease the cost of Hvfng. People who say
one thins and do another are commonly
called hypocrites, but in this campaign I
am poing to refer to Mr. Plx and Mr.
Huppuch as Huppuchrltes."
Mr. Hearst went on to tell how Mr. Dix
and Mr. Huppuch forced their men to work
twelve hours a day for $1 6."., and when a
strike was imminent consented to give
an additional M cents a day for five hours'
additional work a week, and Mr. Hearst
appealed to the Americanism of thp elec
tors to reject a man who would do any
thing; so un-American as to force men to
work thirteen hours n day.
Calls Stimson Honest Man.
"I am perfectly willinp to say what I
think about Mr Stimson or any one else,"
was the Hearst pronouncement on the Re
publican candidate. "I think that Mr.
Stimson is personally an honest man. I
know that he represents a dishonest
party. For every Grady in the Demo
cratic party there is an Ald rid Re in the
Republican party. If Mr. Stimson shouWi
want to da right, he could not accomplish
any more with the Rppubllcan party's ball
snd chain around his leg than Mr. Hughes
could."
At Nlbto'a Garden, the audience num
bered fully s thousand, and there as at
the Manhattan Casino, there was con
siderable enthusiasm. John .1 Hopper, who
had been received with the greatest en
thusiasm at the Manhattan Casino, which
Is in his home district, was well received
at Kioto's Garden, too. Other speakers at
both meeting* were Arnold B. McStay,
Robert Stewart, James a. Allen and
Clarence .1. Shearn, who had delivered
his own speech before he was chosen, aa
he expressed it. as "First Reader of the
Independence League church."
"Wall Street Behind Dix."
In both his speeches Mr Shearn referred
to the publication of s page from E H.
Harriman's account with Kuhn Loeb *
Co. in an attack upon Colonel Roosevelt,
and the activity of Alton B. Parker, "the
also ran" of six years hk<>. Who sure.l\
has no aspirations for \\<\:r as evidences
that Wall street was behind the IMx cam
paign.
••It would take a dynamite explosion,
under ordinary circumstances," he said, "to
make a Morgan or a Kuhn-L«oeb linn open
Its books. It" B shareholder, robbed of his
investment, tried to Ret an examination of
;i Wall street banker's books, he would be
dragged from court to court, and if the
applicant whs .--till alive by the tune tn<>
Supreme Court ot the United Saates pot
through with the matter, he would discover
at the end that the books had been burned.
Yet one of these big Wall Street Anns, to
further the Dix candidacy, had opened its
looks and given out the account of a de
ceased dieni for publication."
Mr. Bhearn also paid his respects to
James P. Allney, bead or the canneries

Parker said: littl™.
•The money spent by th- last Republican
Congress Is just $157.C«) a year for every
year since Jesus scourged the money
changers out of the tempi*. '
Judge Parker also said:
"All over the state there la rottenness
and decay that need to he exposed- I.n»*
at Rchenectady, at Broome County, at Erie,
at Onelda. As to the legislative Investiga
tion I say. gentlemen, that that Investiga
tion' is partisan and forced by public optn
lr n Thin* what would be disclosed by men
hostile to that political organization! It Is
the same in the- United States government.
Senators indicted and men prominent In
national life have recently had the finger or
scorn pointed at them many times.
After reading the Harriman correspon
dence and showing Senator DepeWs Po
tion in that controversy. Judge Parker
said:
Senator Depew may want to so back to
the Senate. The Republicans have not
mentioned any candidates. It Is !*>»»"*
that Mr. Depew friends can again raise
Smono in a few hours. It may also be that
these same friends can now furnish spe cial
cars for the Republican speak*™ w hlle I
and other Democrats travel humbly and
pay our way."
Mr. Osborne said in part:
The tariff is a moral issue because it 13
a crime against Democracy itself, "is
treason to our underlying principle of gov
ernment, for it produces in the midst of a
democracy that grossest form «* special
privilege— plutocracy. An aristocracy or
land has it* responsibilities: an «rtstocracy
of family descent has its noble tradition^,
an aristocracy of culture will have knowl
edge- but an aristocracy of wealth na.=
neither traditions nor knowledge, and rec
ognizes no obligation or responsibilities.
This country is to-day largely in the hands
of such an aristocracy, the most greedy,
domineering, unscrupulous, detestable form
of aristocracy that the world has ever
seen, and unless bounds be quickly set to
its development, It will go far to destroy
our government, for aristocracy and de
mocracy cannot exist together.
Replying to Speaker Wadsworth's attack
on Mr. Dix? attitude on the public service
act, Vr. Osborne said:
I cannot help but smile at the extreme
anxiety on the part of Republican orators
over the dangers which the commission
may suffer at the hands of Mr. Dix. I ad
mire the boldness and am amazed at the
hypocrisy of Speaker Wadsworth. Th*»
-same gentleman in I*l9 defeated the amend
ments to the public service law suggested
by Governor Hushes until the* interests of
the great telephone and telegraph com
panies were practically consolidated ant
another huge monopoly added to those
which already control us.
Urging the election of a democratic
Legislature, Mr. Osborne indicated that he
was for Edward M. Shepard for United
States Senator. "The best and only th»
best." he saM, "will satisfy; only a man
experienced in large affairs and of the
highest moral and Intellectual character.
Such a man you can all think of, and you
will not have to go many miles from the
Brooklyn Bridge to find him."

asked to look into the matter.

We. ha.l an argument. After we got
