Judge Herrick, the Democratic nominee
for Governor, will come down from Albany
Tomorrow to have talk with Judge Parker
and confer with the managers of the national
and State headquarters in order to map
out plan of campaign that will be accept
able to both. Judge Herrick has already
let it be known that in that campaign he
will have nothing to say on the national
issues. He will talk on one topic only.
That topic will be Odellism.
Judge Herrick told the chieftains who
talked with him in Albany last week
that he feels confident Of being able to carry
the State il he can lay before the voters
all that he knows concerning the system
OF State administration under Odell 1t is
said OF Judge Herrick that he is an ideal
campaigner when it comes to pushing
home unpleasant truths against an OPP
ponent; and that there is probably no man
in the State 80 we'll informed Of the real
conditions which have prevailed at Albany.
1t is believed at Democratic State head
quarters that the Judge will have some
mighty interesting things to say for honesty
as opposed to graft.
In his speech of acceptance Judge Her
rick promised that il he should be elected
he would throw open the books OF the epocn
of graft at Albany Of the last four years
and would expose from the written records
the corrupt system which has grown up at
Albany under the existing regime. 1t was
learned yesterday that he will not nave to
wait for access to the books. He already
has sufficient data.
In making up his mind to have a personal
campaign OF the sledgehammer kind Judge
Herrick consulted the wishes OF no one out
himself. To the Democratic leaders with
whom he talked after the notification cere-
monies on Saturday he said that the cry
throughout the State on the part Of the
people before the Saratoga convention
was for a candidate who could make an
effective campaign against graft, and he told
those leaders that he had decided to make
a campaign that would be thoroughly sat
isfactory to those who urged the nomina-
ton of a man not likely to hesitate about
calling a spade a spade.
Judge Herrick is anxious that Judge
Parker himself shall make several speeches
When Judge Herrick gets here tomorrow
he will, it is understood, tell the Demo-
cratic Presidential nominee why he thinks
it desirable that this course should be
followed.
Judge Herrick's first public appearance
since his nomination, outside Of the noti-
fcation ceremony, will be at the reception
which is to be given tomorrow night at
the Manhattan Club to Judge Parker and
the nominees of the State convention.
The arrangements do not call for any
speechmaking, but if theopportunity |
should arise Il is probable that Judge Her
rick may make few pertinent remarks. |
He believes in short speeches and in none |
Of the addresses he will make outside Of |
The big mass meetings in this city will he |
speak for more than fifteen or twenty |
minutes
