HUGHES RECEIVES AN
 ENTHUSIASTIC WELCOME
TWO ADDRESSES IN CORTLAND THAT TEST CAPACITY
 OF HALLS.

ReneWs Pledges to Which He Has UlVeh
 So Much Prominence--LOudly Ap-
 pIauded When He Says He Will be
 the "Governor of the PeOple'--Dem-
 at Several Meetings in Manhattan and
 Brooklyn Last Night.
 Cortland, N Y, Oct 24.-charles E. Hughes, the republican candidate for governor was welcomed enthusiastic ally in Cortland tonight. He made two addresses to audiences which tested the capacity of the halls, and which con stantly interrupted him with applause.
 After leaving Elmira this morning MT Hughes continued the southern tour, touching many points where MT. Hearst recently appeared.
 MT. Hughes in his address here re- newed the pledges to which he has giv- en so much prominence in his speeches of late, and when he declared that he would be the governor of all the peo- ple, was loudly applauded, and again when he said: q have promised noth- ing in this campaign which I cannot perform"
 He charged MT. Hearst with being a "corporation himself despite his denun- citation of all corporations, and deciar- ed his interest in labor and in labor legislation, declaring no cause would receive greater attention at his hands if he were chosen chief executive of the Empire State.
 This campaign said MT Hughes, was opened with a sonorous declara- ton of independence. It declared in dependence of partys and arraigend both parties; it declared for the free expression of the popular will; it made much of the importance of representa- tive government; 1t chose as it's leader one who professes to stand for political liberty and for true representation. 1 Hardly had the words of this declar- ation died away, when there came the test of the profession, the test which was met by the shameful proceedings of the Buffalo convention. I believe in the recognition of the fact that we are all bound together in this country, and one of the greatest enemies of the country is the man who would try to split us up into classes. We all believe in work, The American that does not honor work is denationalized.
 'We began in work. Everything that we have was achieved by work, and the first thing an American community ought to think of is to protect work"
