was not only large. but was enthusiastic.

boss or corporation, and that his only desire was
to serve the whole people. They cheered him to
the echo.
PRAISE FOR THE PRESIDENT.
Mr.. Hughes said, in part:
am proud of the wonderful achievements we
nave had IN Congress in connection with Amer
lean abuses. All hail to the leadership of which
we are so proud IN the White House in Wash
ington. Let us make that IN the State of
New York, as we deal with evils that exist,
we go forward to correct every evil that exists,
that we do not lose our prosperity and tear down
our mouse. Let US have good, honest, American,
sober sound judgment Don't let us have the
influences which govern mobs and that lead to
anarchy, that give labor employment that
give no opportunity for business enterprise that
would Soon make a wreck OF all we hold most
dear.
The people were pleading with the conductor
TO hold the train long enough that they could
shake hands with Mr. Hughes. but he was be-
hind time, and the train pulled out amid cheers
for Our next Governor"

from the Erie tracks to those of the Lackawanna
Railroad. There fifty minute wait until
the yards. as the local committee wanted to save
their welcome to Mr.. Hughes until tomorrow.
Then he stops in Binghamton for more than four
hours for a midday meeting.

fifty were in the little auditorium Fully one
hundred more on the street. The members
of the village band, dressed in their working cos

and sweaters, did their best to add TO the
warmth Of the greeting. A bevy of pretty girls
from the local academy, in the front seats, won
Mr.. Hughes by their infectious enthusiasm.

get through without speaking TO them, storned
the when the train stopped.
OF all interesting bands met on Mr.. Hughess
tours, that in Marathon took the first prize. II
looked like family affair.

trombone, French horn and other wind instru-
ments. The strains of the band hoated after
the train for q long distance. The memory Of it
