REPLIES TO ROOSEVELT
Untermyer Defends Wiison's
Attitude Toward Trusts.
(By Telegraph te The Trlbune.)
New Haven, Nov. 8.?Samuel Hnter
myer came agaln to the defence of Oov?
ernor Wilson last nlght by taklng up
Colonel Rooaevelfs reiterated charge thal
Governor Wiison's record as Governor of
New Jersey iu deallng with the trusta
was inconsintent with hla preaent poal
tlor. on the trust problem.
Speaklng at New Haven, Mr I'nter
mver sald that he preferred to attrlbute
thla elevenih-nour attack to want of
knowledge of the facts. rather than to an
absence of alncerity.
Aa to the assertlon that Governor V* il
son falled to prosecute the trusts formed
under New Jersey laws, Mr. Hnterm.ver
aald every novlce in the laws knew that
tlie state could not confer on corpora
tlons varloiis prtvileges and then prose?
cute them for avalling themseives of thoae
advantage*. It was unfortunate that such
wide powera had ever been beatowed upon
corporatlons, he added. but that had been
done many yeara ago.
The aecond part of the charge. asserting
that the reaaon Governor Wllaon did noi
proi ure a change ln the New Jeraey cor?
poration laws, has been repeatedly an
swered. Mr. I'ntermyer said. by quota
tions fiom Governor Wiison's message to
the ".-.eglslature of New J. rsey. The t>g
Ulature being antagonlstlc to Governor
Wllaon'a party, his programme waa not
carrled out, Mr. Untermyer declared.

Cbarlss F Murphy. leader of Tatntnany

Democratic ticket both in nation and
state. Following his custom. eatab
li.shed after the election of 1402. .Mr.
Murphy did not give out ftaures lndieat
mg the polltical trend ae reported to
him. but he Issued the following state?
ment:
This has been one of tbe most interest

tory. NeVer before, in my opinion. have
tha principles snd poltcies of the Demo?

the heartu of the musses of tbe Ameri?
can people. N'ever befors f.as the belief
aec-meri to be more ?'-netal and pro

tional ills would be the election of a
Democratic Presldent and the appllca

Icles to the directlon of government af

day used to be the famous "dough day"
at Tammany Hall. but a cruel law stepped

treasurer's san-tuarv with a smlle of e_
pectatlon and came out grlnnlng or frown

The day was a festive one. and good

who was left ln the cold. They Jollted

Two Platforms Would Degrade
Indlvldual. Barnes Says.
CONCEPTION OF A DESPOT
Real Mission of Republican
Party Is to Oontend Against
This Error, He Declares.
Deaignatinr the platforms of the Thlrd
Term partv and the Democrats alike as
attempts to substitute the aoverelgnty of
the communlty for the aoverelgnty of the
indlvldual, William -Barnes. Jr., Repub?
lican state chalrman, Issued a statement
laat nlght, declarlng that the attempt to
degrade the Indlvldual in American life
had been concelved in the mind of a
despot, and put lorth by itiordinate am
bltion.
"lt ia the real mission of the Kepublican
party,' said Mr. Harnes. "not only at
this election but In the future. to contend
against thls error wlth all the power of
its character." Mr. Rarnes's statement
was:
The battle for the Integrity of the
human mind and against mental dlshon
estv ?hould never cease. The human
QUaUUflfl af envy and dlssatlsfactiou with
external pla.ce have alwaj ? been and al
wavs wlll he proyed upon by ambltlous
politicians for thelr own ends
This fact makes It all thfl more lncum
bent upon those who do not vvish to de
eetve, and wlll not deceive. to project
thelr own thought into the mlnds qf
others lhat the latter may not abase
their thought and deny to themseives the
indlvldual soverelftntv whlch they pos
BCfla no matter what may be their occu
patlon in llfe. ,-__
In th!s contest Preaident Taft typlfles
the fundamental truths Whlch must un
derbe Imtiitti r lallon ln a free country.
Both Mi. Wll.-on md Mr. Hoosevelt tvplfy
the Idea that man's indlvldual aoverelgnty
ls nierged In thfl tempomry Idea or a
communitv. The issue ls clearly detlned.
The forces of those who would destro>
the American form of government i*nore
our national experience and establlsh ln
thls countrv the tyrannous form of de
mocraey whlch prevalled 2.000 years ago
are dlvided
Behind President Taft stand Ihe men
who belleve that the securlty of human
rlgnts now pcssessed by every Indlvldual
in Amerlca can only be orfloerved by tho
reeognltlon of the indlvldual as a aover
etgn anu not the estahllshment of tlie
communitv aa a soverelgn over him.
The only aupremacy which tbe com?

Indlvldual. under tbe Declaration of In

the Indlvldual aoverelgnty of another.
Tb* iittempt to degrade tbe Indlvldual,
whlch is has'c ln a certain elem?nt of the

Thev wlll carry not b-.a than forty or

waa by my fllde, went through the
same contortlons. My glaaaes were
knocked from my noae. and I afterward
found that the left lena wa* broken. I
had another pair of glaasea wlth me.
"I felt the top of my head wlth my
hands and was astonished to flnd that
lt waa bleeding profusely. Some of the
blood got on my overcoat. I knew it
would not bo wise to go on ln that eon?
dltlon, ao l called to the chauffeur to
stop the car. Then I toid him I waa
cut and that he had better flnd a doe
tor.
"There were still some people in the
street. and the chauffeur called to two
boys and asked where we could flnd a
doctor. The boys got on tlie front of
the car wlth the chauffeur and guided
him to Dr. Tltua'a offlce, a few blocks
away. The boys were the flrat to get to
the doctor's door."
Dr. Tltus, Governor "Wilson aaid.
found aome halrs lmbedded in the
wound, and these he carefully cleared
away. "I must say that Dr. Tltus
showed rare Judgment whni he declded
not to sew the wound. He found that
by drawlng the edges together and
painting the cut wlth collodlon the
same effect was had," the Governor
sald. "Then he adjusted a flnlshlng of
gauze, and I was as good as new.
"My family physieian, Dr. Car
nochan, was eloquent ln his praise of
Dr. Titus's nkill when he made an ex
amlnatlon of the wound later. Dr.
C'arnoehan redressed lt. but that would
have been necessary ln any case."
Captain "Blll" McDonald, the Texas
Hanger. who for the last few weeks
has served as a bodyguard for Gov?
ernor Wilson. was wlth him at tlie time
of the accldent, and he also received a
number of sllght brulsea.
Automobilfl Strikaa Mound in Road.
Tho Governor was passing through
Hlghtstown, when the automoblle,
whlcli was golng i t a rapid rate, struck
mound in the road. bounded a couple
of feet and threw the Governor out of
his seat and against one of the sup
ports of the top of the ear,
Hlood began to trickle down Gov?
ernor Wiison's face and over his ehlrt
and collar when he resumed hla seat,
and Captain McDonald. greatly
alarmed, ordered tho automoblle
stopped at once.
Inqulries were made in the town and
ih? Governor was tnken to the home of
Dr. Franklin. who at once called Dr.
George K. Titus tO asslst him. Ofl the
way to the physlcian's home Governor
Wilson protested that every one was
taking the accldent too seriously, and
hO sugg- sted going to his home here
before cal'.lng In a physlclan.
Capt.tln M^Donnld. however. pf?nd>d
with the Governor t,o have his wound
examined. and he linally yic.ded to his
r ntreatien.
Taking off hii overc jat. the Governor
sat down, while the two physieians
shaved off a small patoh. of hair near
the top of his head and found a paintul
stalp wound, four inchea long, from
which blood was flowlng freely.
After washing snd cauterizlng the
wound the physiclans dreseed It with
gauze, adding a amall plece of court
plaater. The Governor abaolutely re
fused to rtllow the wound to be dresaed
with a bandage. "I don't want to go
home with my head tied up," he said,
adding that if he did oo his wife and
daughters would be seriously slarmed
before he had time to explsln to them
the nature of the accldent.
The Oovernor thanked the phyaicians
for thelr prompt work, cllmbed into the
automobile and, -with Captaln McDon
sld, reaumed hls homeward Journey.
The Governor left Red Bank about 11
o'clock last night ln an automobile
plsced at his disposal by Abram I.
Elkus. After hla speech at the Lyeeum
he went to Mr. Elkus's home, and after
a llght luncheon started for here.
One of the flrst thlnga the Oovernor
did when he arose to-day waa to call
up Democratic headquarters in New
York and assure thera that hia injurles
were not serioua.
He said they would not prevent him
from keeping his engagements to speak
in Passalc and Paterson to-morrow
night.
Newa of the sccident to Oovernor
"Wilson seemed to travel llke wlldfire.
and all the atternoon telegrams and
telephone messages poured Into thla
town contalnlng inqulrles as to the
Governor's condltion. They came from
all parts of the country, and were so
numerous that late ln the afternoon he
humorously said that he had been so
busy answering inqulrles that he hsd
Oot had time to shave.
