DIX EXCORIATES ROOSEVELT. Former President Branded as Wilful Falsifier-By Democratic Nomi nee for Governorship. New York, Nov. 2.-The Democratic State campaign here reached flood tide tonight, at a meeting in Carnegie Hall, where John A. Dix, the nominee for governor, made his first public ad dress in the city. The meeting also served as the occasion for Mayor Gay nor's long expected formal announce ment of his support of the ticket. The mayor's voice still being weak, this came in the form of a letter to the chairman of the meeting. The rally was held under the auspices of the Independent Business Men's league, and Hermann Ridder, president of that organization, presided. Roosevelt Object of Attack. Mr. Dix devotd the greater part of a 3,000 word speech to a denunciation of Theodore Roosevelt. He charged the former president with wilful false hood in repeating the accusation for wich Mr. Dix, in his Buffalo speech, demanded an apology. He declared that Col. Roosevelt, "because of what he deems to be his political necessity of the hour, struck hands and made political alliance with William R. Hearst, whom four years ago Roose velt bad "publicly branded as re sponsible for the assassin's bullet, which made him president." RepubUcan Extravagance. Leaving the subject of Roosevelt, The candidate returned to charges of Republican extravagance. He prom Ised that a Democratic administration vould reduce taxation and once more make it possible for the "average man" to save enough for a rainy day. He denounced the Republican tariff policy and declared himself - for a downward revision of the tarift. "This campaign," said Mr. Dix, "like so many in the past, involves ques ions of policy and expenditures; of jaform and retrenchment and the oth er questions which necessarily have to do with carrying on the well order ed business of government. Enter "Agitator-Egotist." "Such questions would have been ettled in the usual way, by appeals to lsson and to experience and by that application to conmon 'sense judg nt, which Is so distinguishing an attribute of the average American. But this was not to be. Into the centre el the stage there has been hurled by the Inordinate vanity, the danger es ambition, the reckless conduct of a man who has become the apostle of tumult and the protagonist of mis iepresentation-th6 momentous ques tion of whether or not our very repub lcan Institutions should survive, or, unader the asaults of the agitator, and the egotist, should go down to destruc tion, as have other great countries under similar assaults. To Utter Oblivion. "Fruntl for our country, the I attleground chosen for this fight was d.at which combined patriotism, intel Igence and public spirit in their high s t form, and the decisive defeat which lies before this creator of un iest, this instigator of panic and this destructive agent of business depres elon will not alone retire him to a agshere of well earned and unenvied seclusion, but will serve for many years 'to come 'as a signal warning to a1 other men who may let their a.mbi ton blind their judgment to the fact - at there is and must remain a gov enent of the people and by the peo ple. Unlike Predecessors. "Never before have we, In our his ~Try, had so much occasion to blush br the conduct of a man who had een the first citizen of our country and no greater and more striking dif erence could be found in our history, etween the last Republican presi dent and the Illustrious men who pre eeded him In office, than is found by teir conduct after they had retired kom the great office which they had Reld. Which? "Look for a moment upon the man who is now rushing up and down the tate shouting, threatening, abusing ad wilfully misrpresenting-bring kg contempt and ridicule upon the great office he has held, and avoiding he discussion of all the real Issues f this campaign and then upon his great predecessors, who never -for got that theyr~ emd to their country men the duty of 'oearing themselves always with dignity and with .honor. "Look on the one hand at the man who typifies assaults upon our courts, e bulwarks of our liberties, and up en the freedom of the press, than which no right is more sacred to free men, and then upon the men whose every thought and act taught respect and regard for lawfully constituted authority, and say with which of these men and their policies you would pre fer to stand. Now Political A Fies. "I say to you, my f.: Th citizens of Nw York, that wh'en t1' shouting and the tumult shall hav diw away, when the verdict of imnn-rtial history shall have been renAer'i. I would . ousand times prefer to stand with th plain, strong men who shed lustre upon their country, rather than with the man who, publicly branding an other as responsible for the assas sin's bullet which made him prasi dent, has within a few years there after, because of what he deems to be his political necessity of the hour, struck hands and made political al liance with the man whom he had so branded. But for Assassin's Bullet. "Let his friends ta'ke which ever horn of the dilemma it suits their af fort and his vanity to choose; my op ponent's nominator either shamefully and shamelessly belied a fellow citiz en when he had Mr. Root make the Utica speech of 1906, or he now de serves the condemnation of self-re specting men in making an alliance with one but for whom, if we believe his own charge, President McKinley might have lived to serve out his elect ed term of 'office and his succesor might never have been president of the United States. Brands Roosevelt Falsifier. "I asked this man last week for the apology which one man owes an other for even involuntarily misrep resentation. His answer has been to repeat, and I now charge, wilfully and knowingly to repeat, in as many places and to as many people as his voice would carry, the statements which I now publicly brand as false hoods. "I withdraw my request for an apology and I say with all the emphasis at my command that a man who has been president of the United States who would do the things that he has done during this eampaign, merits only the pity of decent men. Rebuke for Dictator. "I am neither a prophet or the son of a prophet, but I venture the pre diction that after November 8, 1910, my opponent's nominator will have stamped upon his innermost con sciousness the knowladge that the people of this State are able and willing to manage and control their own public affairs, without either in terference or dictation from any man who would try to erect a 'new nation alism' upon the ruins of the institu tions founded by our forefathers in days of stress and sacrifice." Mayor Gaynor's Letter. Mayor Gaynor's letter was address ed to Herman Ridder, president of the Independent Business Men's league. It follows In part: "Nine-tenths of the voters of each party are honest and true. They want honest and Intelligent government When their party fails to give it, they know that the time has arrived when their duty and also their intellectual self-respect requires them to vote with the opposite party. To keep govern ment up to the.mark, one party should not be kept in power continuously. It would be fortunate for us if our poli tical parties in State and nation were more evenly divided, so that one party could be put out and the other brought Relief In Democracy. "While the long standing corrup tion was being revealed from day to day in Albany last winter, many in telligent Republicans made up their minds that it was time to let the Dem ocratic party come into power for a while for the common weal, and they are of that mind still. "And, happily, Mr. Dix is a man of such integrity and fitness, and let me add, freedom from objectionable in fluences, that there is no reason for any fair and intelligent man to cast a mere par~ty vote against him. "A Democratic convention did a servie to honest politics by refusing the alliance offered to It by political scamps, who have no wish to aid in good government, but only their vain and selfish ambition in view and for that alone. The ticket which it square ly and fairly nominated should have the 'healthy good will of every one. Dix Not Selected by Murphy. "The assertion that Mr. Dix was selected and his nomination forced by a political leader hereabouts, I know of my own knowledge to be false. It is easy to stand up a man of straw and then thump it over, and that is what some distinguished Republicans or new nationalist campaigners seem to be1rncpally engaged in, but they wllern election night that the voters of the State know a man of straw or a scarecrow when they see one, at least as quick as a crow does.

The first step in controlling corn weevils is to select the seed corn in the field, paying \special attention to the ears that are well covered by the shuck and if possible that hang with the pointed end downward. This is an important precaution, although not sufficient to fully protect the corn in the cribs. Treatment of Corn in Cribs. Carbon bisulphide is a colorless li quid with a strong disagreeable odor. It vaporizes rapidly at ordinary tem peratures, is highly inflammable and when ignited is explosive. It is, therefore, important to keep away fire of any kind, whether flame, stove, lan tern, embers, lighted pipe or cigar. This chemical Is very widely used at present, and when the above precau tions are observed there are no dan gers from accident. It may be pur cased at any drug store or chemical wholesale house, ranging from ten to twenty-five cents per pound. The brand tiat has given the best satis faction in our experimental work is named Fuma and costs -about ten cents a pound. The liquid and vapor n coming from it a.re heavier than air ut and will sink, therefore the applica- ce tion is made at the top of the crib p< and not from below. Fumigation B should be done on warm days as vola- p. tilization is slower In cold weather p< and consequently less effective. It Assuming that the crib is moderate- Pl ly tight, it is used at the rate of three pounds to 100 bushels of grain, or ap- S. proximately 1,000 cubic feet of space, the latter being for an empty crib. It should be repeated in ten days. It may be distributed in several shallow vessels, but the simplest way is to sprinkle it over the top like ,water' and if blankets are availa;ble the. sur face of the corn should be covered..A Where the bin Is open, the best pos- B sible thing to do is to make it tight. In case of log cribs, this may be ac complished by means of canvas tack ed over the walls. Where only a small quantity of A grain Is to be fumigated, such a.s seed corn or cowpeas usell for seed, it 2ay 'y be accomplished by pouring It In a coal oil or molasses barrel. Such a B barrel will accommodate about three buhels. Three to five ounces of car bon bisuiphide is poured over the sur face and the barrel tightly closed for twny-orto thirty-six hours. The 1 top of the barrel may be made per fectly tight by covering it with several , burlap bags weighted down with boards. A permanent covering forA this purpose may be made by heavily painting a piece of canvas of proper size, which is then laid over the open i ng and a barrel 'hoop dropped over the tOD to hold it firmly in positon. . Oarbon bisulphide is not poisonous nor caustic. It drives the air -from the space to. which it is applied and, cause suffocation. When overcome r by this gas in a building, the symp toms consist of a dry feeling of the skin and a streaked headache, accom paned by dizziness. This will pass off immediately after a person reach- , es the fresh air. It is not advisable that people affected with heart trou ble handle this gas to any great ex tent. Among other methods for controll ing weevils, lime arnd sale are some times recommended. These materials are r't nearly' as effective as fumiga tion. while the decrease in the pala t3ahnity of th'e corn, where lime is em- 'I ploed, makes the use of this material ob~jectionable. c The use of each does not decrease ir ,the palatability but, in order that it Is Candy!
