SCHENECTADY. N. Y. November q
During a stay of two and a half hours here
today Charles f. Hughes held a reception
In the Edison Hotel and spoke at three
meetings.
The first of his addresses was at the Van
Curier Opera House. the second at the
American Locomotive Works, and the third
at the plant of the General Electric Com
pany. At the two latter meetings practical
ay all of Mr.. Hughes hearers were mechan-
les and skilled workers. Almost his entire
speech at both places was made up Of COM
ments upon the labor and Industrial situ-
alton. Mr.. Hughes dwelt at length upon
the prosperity that is prevailing in the state
and nation. but he declared that all this
could be torn down In a night il bust
ness confidence should be shaken. He told
his hearers that the workers would be the
first to feel the effects of a false STEP and
he urged them to think well before casting
their votes on Tuesday next. Mr.. Hughes
declared that more than 1C0 laws relating
to labor had been placed upon the statute
books of the state during the past twelve
years. He promised that he would see to 1t
that they We're enforced.
Promises Economy.
IF 1 am elected governor he declared,
II shall see to it that my administration is
an economical one. but no money will be
spared to see that every law is carried out
No statute shall want of enforcement for
the lack of man or the lack of dollar
to enforce it
Anything, he asserted which has for its
purpose the welfare of the workers Of the
state will have his hearty support if he
Is chosen to represent the people at AL
bany.
The Hughes special train was halted
several miles out of the city and the can
didate and his immediate party were
transferred to two automobiles. There
followed a rapid drive into the business
section over roads deep in mud.
At several places along the route there
were groups of people gathered at the
roadside. and as the whirring automobile
went by cheers were given. All the chill
dren OF one of the schools which was
passed were lined up along the sidewalk.
ana as MT. HuSneS drove by they cheered
and waved their hats.
This is the last day of Mr.. Hughes up
state campaign. Commenting upon the
conditions, ne said today:
The conditions upstate are very salts
factory. The republicans loyal and
alert, and throughout the state we have
the support of the old-line democrats.
1T is simply a question now of getting
out the votes. If that is DONE victory is
achieved. But the danger of over
confidence is ever great. and no one at this
time must relax his individual effort.
After leaving here Mr.. Hughes will
speak but once more, at Catskill before
returning to Greater New York to spend
the last days of the campaign.
