FALSE PROMISES OF “THIRD TERMERS”
TORN TO SHREDS BY WILSON AT BUFFALO
TEDDY'SPLATFORM !
DEMEO TO FOOL
THE COMMON PEOPLE
)
“It Expresses Warm Sym
pathy for Working Classes,”
' Says Wilson, but Carefully
Protects Privilege
L ' • (By Asaodatad Fraas.)
, BUFFALO. N. Y.. Sept. 1-Wood row
Wilson today analyzed the third party
platform In tta relation to the laboring
man. The occasion of hi* speech was a
Labor day celebration uner the auspiecs
of the United Trades and Labor Council
of Buffalo.
It was the first expression from the
Democraltc candidate on the merits of
the Progressive platform. The governor
said that while on' the one hand was to
be found there "warm sympathy with
practically every project of social bet
terment." that part was merely "a proc
lamation es sympathy.” while the real
program lay elsewhere, “where the tariff
and the trusts are spoken of.”
The governor assailed the minimum
wage idea, declaring that employers
would take occasion to bring their wage
scale as nearly as they could down to
the level of the minimum permitted by
law. z *
With Jhe idea of a federal comission
to reguate monopoly, the government
took emphatic issue. He declared that
the plan suggested not only would mo
nopolise. but give the chief employers of
the country a tremendous authority be-
> hind them.”
What the employers do will have the
license of the federal government in
cluding the right to pay wages approved
by the government declared Governor
Wilson.
UNDERMINING LABOR.
'i. ,He pointed out that it always had been
the policy of the masters of consoli
dated industries, "to undermine organis
ed labor in a great many ways and that
a plan of federal control as advocated
by the new party "systematically sub
ordinates worttingmen to monopolies."
and "looks strangely like economic mas
tery over the very lives and fortunes of
those who do the daily work of the na
tion.”
THE SPEECH.
Governor Wilson said in part, in his
Labor day speech here today;
"Intelligent workingmen will ask the
men now seeking their votes what they
may be expected to do for them. I do
not mean for them separately, but what
they may be expected to do for the coun
try which will entitle them to Yhe confi
dence of those who perform* the daily
labor which lies at the basis 'of all our
life. : * J
"Most of the answers they get will
turn upon the question of tariff duties,
from which our politics never seem
able to get away. On the one hand, they
will be told that if the Democratic party
gets into power, they may look to see
industry languish and wages go down
and employment become harder and
harder to find. They forget That Demo
crats constitute something like half the
nation, that Democrats are Engaged in
occupations of every kind, depend upon
all sorts Os business for their livelihood,
share in every interest and enterprise of
the country. It may safely be taken
for granted that Democrats are not go
ing to destroy themselves economically.
CONSIDER THE SOURCE
"These uncomfortable predictions
come both from the old-line Republi
cans and from the new departure Re
publicans who are seeking to build up a
third party of their own. From Republi
cans of the old-line these forecasts of
disaster were to be expected. They have
- long been thlr stock in trade. But they
were hardly to have been expected from
those who had cut themselves loose from
the older connections and who were
told working to make new things out of
old. And yet the predictions of the
leaders of the new party are as alarm
ing as the predictions of the veriest
standpater There Is the stimulating
breath of hope in every part of the plat
form of the new party except that which
touches the tariff and the trusts.
IT HAS TWO COLORS
"In fact, there is this very singular
feature about the platform of the new
party: -
"It has two sides and two tones. It
speaks warm sympathy with practically
every project of socia! betterment to
which men and women of broad sympa
thies are now turning with generous
purpose, and on that side ft is refreshing
to read. But that is not the part of the
platform that reads like a program. It
is a proclamation of sympathy rather,
an indication of the direction of the
leaders of the party would fain some
time move. The program lies elsewhere,
where the tariff is spoken of and the
trusts. In that portion of the document
there is an air of business and a very
definite indication of what is intended to
be done, and by what > means.
, "It may be interpreted in the light of
some interesting things Mr. Roosevelt
pas recently said.
STILL FOR PROTECTION.

WILSON IS ICCUUBI
THODSINDS OF MIFFS
People of New York State
Cheer Him as the Next
President
BY BAX.FH SMITH.
BUFFALO. N. T., Sept 3.—Woodrow
Wilson's invasion of New York state
was remindful of his recent trip through
Pennsylvania. f Everywhere he was ac
claimed as the next president and in
Buffalo, a record-breaking holiday crowd
thronged the streets to get a glimpse of
the Democratic candidate, and later
overran Brauns park, where the governor
made a notable Labor day speech.
The governor left New York city at
midnight and reached Buffalo at 10
q'clock this morning. As the train sped
through the smaller towns along the
line of the New York Central great
crowds of people waved a welcome from
the station*
AT BATAVIA.
At Batavia fully 1.000 Democrats who
had expected To hear a happy "rear-end*
speech, ware disappointed.
Governor Wilson was still in bed and
knew nothing of the welcome that
awaited him. Before be could dress and
get to the platform the train was on its
way again.
National Commiteeman Norman E.
Mack, Mayor Fuhrman, also a commit
tee of labor delegates were at the sta
tion in Buffalo to bid the governor wel
come. The general public was represent
ed by several thousand noisy citizens,
who gave cheer after cheer as the Dem
ocratic candidate appeared on the street.
Astra reception at the Fafayette ho
tel, where he shook hands with several
thousand "friends,” Governor Wilson
was driven to a hall where the annual
convention of Catholic Young Men's Na
tional union was in session.
A BIG OVATION. k
An ovation of big proportions was in
store for the governor. The rafters
of the room rang with the applause,
shouts and cheers.
Governor Wilson was introduced .to
the convention by Father Weber as "the
future president of the United States.”
and this seemed quite aw pleasing to the
young men ar it must have been to the
governor, who made a five-minute talk.
' He said in part:
The table was placed on the terrace
‘ seph Gatins, Jr.
"Everything is organized in this
' country except public opinion. The in-
■ terests are organized; so are the poll
i ticians, and the political parties. We
I are now beginning to organize public
I opinion and I want to say that you
■ young men can do a great deal to pn
' feet this If you will all gay that you
will not allow yourselves to be bam
boozled; If you will be determined not
to judge a candidate by label but to
vote straight for right and Justice,
then the air of politics will be cleared.
YOUNG MEN LEADERS.
"It is especially the business of
I young men to lead in this organization
(of public opinion. At the same time,
I know the young men labors under a
under a handicap, because he is ex-
I pected to wear the jacket of the lasi
generation. He ought 'to demand a
jacket that fits him and not be satis
fied with one that fits hi father 3b
years ago. It ought to be a new jacK
et. suited to his shape, size and style.* 1
Returning to the LaTayette hotei.
Governor Wilson was the luncheon
guest of thg excutlve committee of
United Trades and Labor Council.
Driving through the streets he was
instantly recognized, and was constant
ly bowing and tipping his hat In ac
knowledgement of warm greetings that
were given him. The governor has
mastered the art of handshaking it
well as greeting a crowd from a dis
tance.
HE WARMS UP.
The stiffness characteristic of his
ear-y work of this kind has quite dis
appeared. When he lifts his hat now,
he bows and waves a welcome that
enthuses the crowd. In the midst oi
luncheon it began to rain and grave
fears were entertained for the speech
at Brauriq park, which was schedulea
for the open air.
Thousands and thousands of people,
mostly organized workers, were at the
park to hear and cheer the Democrat,
and it was evident to the committee
that there was no building on the
grounds large enough to accommodate
one-third of those on the grounds.
LOOKING HIM OVER.
Governor Wilson was interested to
day in the visit of Thomas M. Mulry, a
well known philanthropist and banker,
of Brooklyn, and Thomas F. Smith,
secretary of Tammany Hall. Mr.
Mulry, who is one of the influential
1 citizens of New York and who has
frequently declined to accept public of
fice. stated after the conference that
he had called only to pay his respects
to the governor. “You know I like to
look over the man I am going to vote
for.” he said, "and I was well pleased
with Governor Wilson."
The Tammany Hall secretary told!
the governor that recently the New I
York City organization had made a
partial canvass and had been pleasant
ly surprised with the overwhelming
strength shown by Governor Wilson.
He said many polls had been taken In
various sections of the city, one large
department store being carefully can
vassed.
' "The whole frift was toward Wil
son,” said MT. Smith. "And we are
confident that he will have a tremen
dous plurality in the city of New
! York.”
Governor Wilson will leave Seagirt
tomorrow* morning at 10 o'clock, ac
companied by Mrs. Wilson, to attend
< the funeral of Col. Archie Alexander,

ROOSEVELT STARTS ON
.HIS BIG WESTERN TRIP

State Fair—His Further
Itinerary
(By Associated Press.)
BRIDGEPORT, Conn., Sept. 2.—Cheer
ing crowds greeted Colonel Roosevelt to
day when he came into Connecticut on
the campaign tour which is to take him
serosa the continent.
On his way t* Hartford Colonel oose
velt made two addresses at Stamford
and Bridgeport.
"If any Progressive candidate la elected
and falls to live up to any promise he
makes,” said Colonel Roosevelt at Stam
ford, "I’ll take the stump against him.
Oqr candidates will live up to their plat
forms.” t
A man shouted derisively and Colonel
Roosevelt turned to him. "I don’t won
der you call out.” he said. "The old
pantos had away of making promts*?
and not keeping them. We are going
to keep faith with the people. We stand
for applied honesty. We stand for
action. We will live up to every promise
we make.”
At Bridgeport Cqlonel Roosevelt criti
ctoed a statement of Woodrow Wilson.
HOPS ON WILSON.
"I don’t know whether Mr. Wllsbn is
standing an his platform,” he said. “I
suppose there are intervals when one
leg is en it. Last week I noticed that
Mr. Wilson argued against a position
I took. He first stated it Incorrectly. I
don’t mean that he intentionally stated
It incorrectly, but evidently his source ,of
Information was poisoned.”
Governor Wilson, he said, had stated
that Colonel Rooasvelt, in favoring "a
more equal distribution” of the "prize
money,” had defended ‘‘legitimate booty”
In the way of tariff privileges. Colonel
Roosevelt declared that he had not been
speaking of the tariffs. He meant that
he believed large prizes in industry were
legitimate in return for honest effort,
but that the workmen should have their
.share.
Colonel Roosevelt read a letter in
which he was asked his position in re
gard to socialism.
"I think that a will-o’-the-wisp is too
light a term to apply to Brother Debba,”
he said In reply. “I think that no work
ingman will get what he seeks from the
Socialists, and that he will be harmed
rather than helped by such an associa
tion.” 1
Colonel Roosevelt said that just as
fifty years ago it was a hard wrench to
break, away from the old parties and
join the new Republican party, so now
it was hard for many to join the Pro
gress e party. But, he said, honest men
who had the welfare of the people at
heart should take part in the movement

MILEAGE BILL VETO NOT
REFERRED TO ATTY. GEN.
Gov, Brown Did Not Ask the
State’s Attorney About That
or School Board Upheaval
“Did Governor Brown get the attorney
general’s opinion back of him before he
Vetoed the mileage bill”
That question, in varying form, has
been asked all over the state since the
indignation of the traveling public was
aroused some days ago by the governor's
usurpation of the functions of the
judiciary when he declared the mileage
bill unconstitutional and killed it with
his veto.
Its answer is "No.”
Attorney General Felder was asked the
direct question by a friend last Friday.
His answer was a fiat negative.
Nor did Governor Brown have the opin
ion of the state's official adviser with
him when he attempted to remove
Messrs. Pound and Langston from the
state school board and to substitute for
them tw<f appointees of his own.
In that act, too, the governor pro
ceeded without the advica of the attor
ney general. - • .
Neither the veto of the mileage bill nor
the attempted displacing -of the school
board appointees was referred to the at
torney general by the governor.
So far as the records show, Governor
Brown felt no need of a lawyer’s advice
upon either of these matters. Or, if he
had advisers, they were not chosen by
the people. It is believed, and with what
looks like good reason, that If Governor
Brown had referred the>question of the
veto to Attorney General Felder, Mr.
Felder would have advised against it;
and that if he had referred the at
tempted removal of Mr. Pound and Mr.
Langston to Mr. Felder, the attorney
general would have advised against that
also.
Whatever the result of either act may
be, the attorney general, T. S. Felder,
of Macon, will share no responsibility
with Governor Brown.
