Judge d. Cady Herrick. the Citizens
candidate for Governor, had busy day
OF 1t yesterday. Until late In the evening
he was at the headquarters Of the Demo-
cratic State committee, meeting callers
and seeing the heads OF the committee.
Judge Herrick said that he will do every
thing the committee demands OF him in
the matter OF campaigning. even to the ex
tent OF speaking two or three times day.
Il am not as active as was some years
ago, when I made my last political cam
paign,' he sa'd. but whatever the com
mittee asks me TO do | will try to carry
out. II hard work will win success for the
Democratic ticket. it will be no fault OF
mine II there should be failure"
Judge Herrick had conferences with
Chairman Cord Meyer, William $. Rodie
chief Of the Bureau Of Organization;
Senator McCarren and other leaders Of
the State campaign, and asked their
views az to the kind of campaign
on his part which would be most effective
in winning the State from the grocery
administ ration.
Judge Herrick put new life int TO the State
campaign managers. He told them that
with proper work and q vigorous campaign
there was NO doubt that the Democrats
could carry their State ticket, The effect
OF his energy was apparent last evening
in the State headquarters More rooms
were rented in the Hoffman House, anew
literary bureau was established and corps
Of stenog raphers and typewriters was put
to work getting out reports for publication
In the newspapers of the political condi-
tions up the State, where independent Re-
publicans for weeks past have not hesi-
tated to declare that they will vote for
Herrck rather than see the syst EN- pre-
vailing at Albany continued.
As to Judge Herrick's itinerary all that
was decided yesterday was that he should
on Oct. Is and in Rochester on the 14th.
On Oct. Il he will speak in the Madison
Square Garden and II Is possible that he
will also speak on the same night in Brook
Ign. Other dates will be arranged to-day.
Judge Herrck said that while he would
tons which have existed In the govern
ment OF the State under the rule OF Odel.
he would not make any personal attacks
on the Governor. Al the same time. he
said. he knew enough OF how things had
been run at Albany during the last two
closures Of Odellism and It's system.
To inquirers who asked him last night
what would be the principal subjects he
would discuss in his campaign, Judge Her
rick referred them to these paragraphs in
his speech OF acceptance:
To-day it is undoubtedly the fact that
there is q widespread feeling In the State
hat many OF it's highest officials are recreans
to their trusts SssS that the leaders OF the
party in power treat the Government OF the
States as commercial asset. and politics as
a pursu il TO be followed for private gain.
This feeling of distTust cannot be iispelled
and the truth or falsity OF the charges 40
state cannot be determined until the books |
are opened and examined before the public. |
not by the men who have made and kept
hem. but by new accounta nts appointed |
by the people for that purpose.
The testimony Of the witness summoned |
by the Governor, the learned Attorney Gen |
'ral OF the State, indicates that there is some
hing graver than mere wanton waste and |
in the expenditure OF the peo-
Ole q money!
