eouallcd any demonstration since the cam
paign opened.
In Brooklyn proper Mr.. Hughes spoke
six times. The halls were so crowded that
the police had to pry a way for the candi-
date throughthe crush and in many instances
the egress OF Mr.. Hughes and his party was
blocked for some minutes while enthusi-
astic partisans pressed around to shake
the candidates hand.

way to enthusiasm when Mr.. Hughes made

been talking to them all over the State
and many old line Democrats who never

"A Governor for all the people,"
MIR. Hughes then began to answer some
of the tenets put forth by Hearst. "If
anybody goes around saying that wealth
is organized tyranny said the speaker.
"he aims a blow at the prosperity OF his
nation. l don't mean to say thay there
il no misconduct of wealth. but l
want to emphasize right here is that honest
business should not be blindly inveighed
against, no matter whether Il be rich or
poor.
1T is better to have the government
Of a country conducted properly than that
somebody should sell more newspapers.
Laughter and applause.l We want less
bitterness and more fairness. What we
want to do is this: Wherever there is a
wrong, aim at it. Don't pull down your
whole house when you want to repair it.
Take out the rotten rafter and shore up
the house while you are doing it,"

that whatever the laboring man demanded
of business and fairness would be given him,
as in the past il has been given. He said
that public service corporations should be
held strictly to the terms of their charters
and be made to give the public what they
promise to give. The policemen, the fire.

speaker, should not be forgotten.
You need study to correct the modern
Ills Of society" concluded Mr.. Hughes.
You can't change things in a minute.
What is needed is study Of the situation
and then action when it is known how
to act best. 1t is easy TO let fly at every
thing and condemn everything as bad
without suggesting a remedy.
You can't put some things into a head

wave Of laughter over the audience and a
cry Of Hearst thinks he oanl"
After speaking for about ten minutes
Mr.. Hughes hurried to his auto and was
carried post haste TO Elmhurst, where the
Arcanum Hall was crowded to the doors.
AS the candidate came into the hall a young
woman up in the balcony started to wave
a Cornell banner. The flag caught the
eye Of the candidate and he bowed
grlciously TO the girl.
Mr.. Hughes began his speech by saying
that the nomination had come 10 him I'M

believed that IL was incumbent upon him

the room. Leave calling names to tho
