HUGHES DECLARES
THE NATION IS
NOT MONEY MAD

New York. Oct. S--More than 1000 young
men turned out at Carnegie han yester-
cay afternoon TO hear Charles T. Hughes
deliver non-political speech. The meet
ing was held under the auspices OF the
West Side branch OF the Y. NJ. @. A.,
ana Mr.. hughes appeared In accordance
with an engagement which he had made
before no was nominated for governor.
AS Mr.. Hughes came through an entrance
near the stage the hall rang with cheers.
lie was interrupted frequently in tho
course OF his speech with applause.
iins advice TO the young men was for
them, first OF all. TO maintain their
self-respect. incidentally he gave his
Views on the over-worked observation
that the American people are money mad
Mr. Hughes said In part:
we have been accused at times rather
tnoughuessly OF having money as our
GOD. IT has been said that the American
people are afflicted with money-madness
| think IL a thoughtless observation. But
think, in the ordinary case, young
America wants an opportunity for ex-
pressing It's Individuality and OF receiv-
Ing some recognition OF individual achieve
ment; and the young man takes a line
that seems 10 be open 10 him and he
does the best he can with his talents
most desirous really of showing what he
caa do and get credit for it than TO amass
a fortune.
Let us come into contact with life
freely and let IL be the contact OF man
hood. Let man take pride In his
achievements OF virtue. Let him take
satisfaction In his moral conquests Let
him have faith that he can do IL, and
that is half the battle. And we want
faith In our fellow man. We want faith
In the supremacy OF the power that
makes for Righteousness"
his trip 10 Carnegie hall, spent the day
at his home I'm West End avenue To-
morrow he will make his first trip out OF

w. r. Hearst. the Democratic and In
dependence league candidate for governor
Is back from his tour OF speech-makine
In the upstate counties feeling sure that
no will be elected in November While
witf few exceptions, there were no great
displays OF enthusiasm at the county fairs
at which he appeared or in the halls In
which he spoke, he came back with the
confidence that the farmers. although not
domonstrative were with him at heart.
Mr.. Hearst got back TO confront situ-
alton locally that will need the patience
and skill OF political genius TO straighten
out There is no lodging the fact that
the matter is a serious one, especially TO
Mr.. Hearst himself, and IL harmony cam
not be brought about between the regli-
lar Democratic organizations I'm New York
and Kings and the Independence league
on the matter OF the local nomination the
break VIII probably cost Mr. Hearst the
election and blast his hopes for preslden-
tial honors in 1908
Unbiased observers are greatly puzzled
over the course of the Hearst managers
are pursuing. The situation now is radi-
cally different from that OF last fall when
Nj. Hearst was the Independent candi
date for mayor. He was then bound bv
no party ties OF any kind and thousands
voted FOR him who hate the bosses and
who do not consider partisanship in purely
municipal elections.
But this year Mr.. Hearst is the candi-
date OF the Democratic party for the
highest office in the state. and Il is figured
that, naturally, the vast bulk of the vote
would as usual be cast on partisan lines
IL Is beginning TO look now as IL some
sort OF truce would be patched aTp be-
tween Hearst and Murphy, and that they
VIII come TO an agreement on the local
ticket, which is the chief bone of con-
tention, but no such hope Is held out in
Brooklyn, which was a Hearst stronghold
last year. The war clouds still hang low
and both sides are firm. Hearst has de-
clared that an Independent ticket will be
put In the field, come what NAV.
An impartial estimate OF the campaign
up 10 date shows that the Republican
organization has gained n big advantage
since the nominations ware rnada
