part:
We are on the homestretch It has been an
arouous campaign but everywhere we nave
gone IN TIE state we havs had evidences OF
earnesfY feeling, and I am confident that, II
effort. Is not relaxed and If the Intelligence OF
the state expresses itself there will be les

AiticaI questions
Any man who viii enter into an alliance with
"A boss TO get q nomination may enter into an
alliance with boss when he IS 1ntrusted with
the administration Of government We want
real independence If we're 10 have independence.
If seIf-interest will govern man IN his busl-
ness Office and make him think or ms pocket
book before he thinks Of his duty to the state,
then how may you be sure that self-interest
VIII not govern at Albany and make the
think OF his private advantage when pubic OBJ
legation points TO another course.
There is only one right way of dealing with
things in this country. There is only one test
Of sincerity, and that is this: Let a man be
ready to go down With his principles rather
than sacrifice them. Let him be ready to live
as a private citizen and not be able TO satisfy
an aspiration for office rather than TO strike
his colors. Let man stand for his convic-
tions. more anxious TO be just and fair than TO
sell newspapers or make money in any line OF
trade. more anxious 70 be conscientious and
square in his dealings than to achieve Office
more anxious for political purity than to have
eTy honor in the gift Of the people
If q man wants 10 be famous. and would
rather he famous than be just, then you
cannot trust him in executing the demands of
justice If z wants TO be spectacular and
sensational, 4 he VIII yield TO the demands Of
that which CANS Tor the spectacular and the
sensational. then you cannot trust him to exc
cute the demands Of justice.
That has been the path which has been blazed
with glory in the history OF this Republic Some
times il has led through difficulties, through
anguish through the keenest mental s1Iffering
bUt nothing has ever been accomplished OF per-
-nanent value in the way Of reform in the
United States that has not had sincere pur-
pose behind it, and a willingness to sacrifice, a
willingness TO die. whether IL be for the flag
for the administration Of government under
the nag and determination that, come what
t7T1ll. there VIII be no surrender OF an honest
conviction.
I propose that our labor department shall have
money enough for the purpose Of properly exc
cutting that Labor law according to its intent
! desire 10 see the reforms that were initiated in
the great business Of insurance carried out and
II any amendment Of the law is necessary to
secure the interests of the policvholders 10 have
the amendment enacted I desire 10 see ali oI,r
poIicyholders protected in their savings and in
the management of the concerns TO which they
have intrusted them. In saying this I do not
refer simply TO old line companies, I refer TO
fraternaI organizations those great organiza-
tons in which many of the citizens Of our
state are interested and I desire to express 70
you my entire wish that every concern. every
fraternaI organization. soundly and wisely man
aged in the interest Of the people shall be con-
served and those who relying upon the
benefits which they expect 10 derive from that
investment of their savings shall be secured in
those benefits. and everything that I can do as
q Governor 70 make them secure will be done.
SPEAKS TO THE FARMERS.
The declarations Of independence which Mr.
Hughes repeated aroused the audience to great
enthusiasm Speaking particularly to the farm
ers, he said:
desire TO see the laws relating TO the public
health enforced. I want 10 see the interests of
agriculture and the great dairy interests, which
are represented so largely in this county under
the protection Of lava law that works with
even handed justice. that is desirous of giving
70 all the citizens the full benefit Of honest ad-
