trades. There is certainly no objection to
the sale Of newspapers. There IS certainly
no objection Ia a man enriching himself
by the wide circulation OF newspapers.
There il no objection 10 the sale OF food;
YOU can't expect a man to give II away
but there is great objection to the sale OF
adulterated food, and there is great objec-
ton TO the sale Of adulterated news and
adulterated editorials. And, above all
others. there is serious objection 10 humbug
and pTetence.
Il nave referred to this matter Of the
judiciary because II is Of supreme import
ance in revealing the compact that was
made at Buffalo when two ambitions met,
one wanting Office and the other want !ug
control Of the bench Of New York county.
l desire not 20 be understood as making
amy reflections upon those who occupy
the bench in New York county. We are
well served, and | believe in my soul that
could they speak their one voice would be
Deliver US from the domination Of Tam
many Hail.
There is no honest man upon the bench
who likes TO have given to him a set Of
referees for hun to appoint. There is no
honest man on the bench who desires TO be
told 10y a leader whom he shall make a
receiver. There IL no man who wishes
to ave his jurisdiction as a Judge Of the
Supreme Court made a matter of political
patronage, and all men are interested IN
seeing to 1t that We protect our courts from
any attempt TO control them on the part
Of our local bosses
The reception which Mr.. Hughes got at
Binghamton was the most undemonstrative
accorded him by any upstate city. That
place, with It's population Of AZ 600, did not
begin 10 give him the sort Of a welcome
which Cortland, with It's 1900 people,
handed out yesterday. The bitter factional
fight in the Republican ranks Of Broome
county between the followers of ex-Assem-
blyman James I. Rogers and Col. George
W. Dunn was reflected in the entire pro-
gramme for the Binghamton reception.
Rogers and Dunn have been on the outs
for some time, the latter now having control
Of the county organization, and the efforts
Of each with his partisans to present a
peaceful front and at the same time pre-
serve fractional lines we're so apparent as
TO throw a wet blanket over the entire
proCee iings.
Mr.. Hughes and his party arrived in Bing-
hamton over the Delaware and Lacka
wanna road at 1850 o'clock. That place
was the first stop scheduled for the dav.
Col. Dunn, Senator Human, ASsemblyman
Rogers and about n dozen local politicians
were at the station to greet the candidate.
Mr.. Hughes was hustled into a carriage
and driven 10 the Hotel Bennett Al the
hotel a number of the city leaders talked
with the candidate, but there was no out
pouring Of citizens IA at Cortland yester-
day, and at nearly all he other cities which
the candidate has visited.
A special trolley carried Mr.. Hughes
anu tH party % bN-ltISulTtt Out o. DING
hamton'S manufacturing suburbs. A noon
day meeting had been scheduled there in
the town hall, and 1t turned ont TO be one
of the bright spots in the candidates after
noon stop. There are several big shoe
factories and telling concerns at Lester
shire. One of the shoe factories was directly
opposite the own hall.
Every window in the big factory building
was crowded as Mr.. Hughes came Down the
street be hind a brass band. The side Of the
httilJinn urag nlaGtapad NTH HYauhno and
Hearst Autographs, impartially distributed,
but the Hughes pictures seemed TO pre-
dominate. The employees had put up the
autographs. A mighty cheer went up az
the candidate passed the factory: then the
employees followed him with a rush into
the hall. All the chairs had been emoved
from the meeting place in anticipation Of
the crowd which would turn out to hear the
candidate, and the campaign managers did
not miss their guess. When Mr.. Hughes
faced his audience There were 1000 people
crowded into the room, nearly all Of them
factory employees.
One man who hobbled up TO the platform
was perhaps the most interesting z character
that Mr.. Hughes has met in the campaign.
mar had celebrated his Tooth birthday
only a short time ago, and has voted the
Republican ticket ever since the party was
organized. His name was Ira Webb, and
when Mr.. Hughes heard about him he in
sisted or having Ira come up on the plat
form and take a seat Of honor. Ira's chief
complaint against Hearst is his assumption
that he re presents the principles OF Lincoln
Republicanism. That makes Ira's blood
boil, for he knows from experieno e, he says,
what those principles were.
One incident occurred at the Lestershire
meeting which illustrates the fractional feel
ing between Dunn and Rogers. Rogers
was sitting on Mr.. Hughes's right. There
was a vacant seat beside him, the only one
on the stage, when Mr.. Dunn arrived. The
Colonel, after hesitating a minute, dropped
down beside Rogers and the assemblymAn
a second or two later jumped up and moved
over 10 the other side of the candidate.
Mr.. Hughes delivered a forceful address,
which caught the working men just right.
They ~applauded him again and again,
~interrupting frequently with such express
sions Of approval as: That's right, You'll
do the square thing " and YOU'RE the stuff"
They cheered the candidate TO the echo
when he made this declaration:
Il did not seek the nomination. IL is a
great honor to he nominated for Governor
and | appreciate that honor. IL is a great
distinction to be elected Governor, and no
one more than / would appreciate that
distinction, but the honor and the distinc-
ton are nothing save as they represent a
chance to serve the people; and there is
nothing in il for me except a chance to do
what is right by the citizens Of the State OF
New York"
Again there was a round OF hearty cheers
when MIR. Hughes said:
DeAeNe III eCOhOHy' i DelleVo III re-
ducing the burdens of government as far
as possible. | believe in every citizen feel
ing hat nobody is milking the State; that
there il M opportunity for getting some
thing from h State without giving a due
return. But, on the other hand, / believe
in spending every dollar that is necessary
TO enforce the law. And the labor laws OF
this State II l am elected Governor, to the
extent OF my ability will be enforced"
Before the Lestershire meeting was over
the chairman referred to Mr.. Hughes as
of the United States, and there were shouts
OF approval by the crowd. At the conclusion
of his speech Mr.. Hughes got do WIN among
the labor men and held a reception. For
