MR. HUGHEs's SPEECH
Mr. Hughes said in part:
1t is a revelation to me to find it possible to
hold a meeting of this sort at Penn Yam in the
middle of the day, and in grape time at that
1t shows TO me that you have the same feeling
here that I have seen evidenced in the other
towns of the state it has been my pleasure TO
visit. There is a lively feeling this fall The
people Of the state have something on t1eir
minds and 1 convinced that the story will
be told fully TO the satisfaction OF all on Elec-
ton Day.
1 have met many of you this morning. and
1 have had the opportunity talk with you and
become personally acquainted. / wish I could
have met you all; and ever and anon man
would come TO me and say I am a Democrat
but am going to vote for YOU" I have had
that experience everywhere 1 have gone. Men
who believe in the principles or their party-tf
there is one-men who are true to their DemOc-
racy, but who are going TO see to il that sham
Democracy shall not succeed.
We are earnest as Republicans. I take pride
in standing as the candidate of the Republican
party, but 1 hold IT especially 10 be the duty of
a Republican TO see TO il that his party
the public.
There would be nothing attractive to me in a
nothing attractive TO me in mere party sue
cess. There is not only attraction but cOmpul-
sion in the demand that we shall represent the
cause of decent government.
We stand opposed to deals We stand op-
posed to intrigue. We stand for thS plain ideas
of the American people. that men shall be chosen
TO office because the people want them and shall
not get their nominations either by dealing with
bosses Dy bullying a convention.
There never has been an issue framed in the
United States where the question Of right
and fairness but what you could count upon the
American people.
We have a new issue presented to US now
We have new species OF propaganda. For
many years II has been the effort through reck-
lessness of utterance, through improper appeals.
through attempts 70 confuse the public judg-
ment to create an army of discomfort. 10 march
upon the CttadelS Of governments. That is not
American That in my Judgment will not sue
ceed But it is issue. and the question
will be presented on Election Day whether the
people really understand the import OF IT Can
they be fooled with name? Can despottsn
triumph in the name OF independence? Can a
man start out to control and to assert his viii.
and in way and another to accomplish
individual purpose. TO achieve his object. and
say that he is proceeding in the name OF 1nde-
pendence2
Can man take the hand Of boss whom he
has denounced and his cartoons placed in stripes
and grasp that hand 70 take pubic ONCE and
claim to be against bosses2 Not without the
American people understanding the hoIowness
of that pretenCe.
can man take our judiciary IN New York
when we are enlarging the equipment for the
rrrnose of dfspatching our accumulation OF legal
business, and make IT a matter Of bargain with
CIarIes F, Murphy. and agree that so many
r.Inlinees shall DC dictated by him and so many
i'm fooling the American people in talking about
the expression OF the popular will?
AMERICANS NOT EASILY FOOLED.
The American people are not so easily fooled.
They know the test of sincerity. II a man
really desires the free expression Of the popular
Will. then let the popular will express itself be-
fore he attempts TO obtain Office by demanding
iJs expression.
read this morning IN a speech that was de-
ivered the other night, think IL was last night,
the following: 'NOw. my friends. the net
result OF Mr.. Hughes's investigation OF the In
SuranCe companies. we have the substitution of
ruthless Ryan for the more or less harmless
Hyde"
Did he believe that2 Did he believe that was
the fact? Did he care whether II was the fact
or not? Are not the facts public records in this
state and known to every citiZen2 Doesn't he
know that Mr.. Ryan obtained the stock OF Mr..
even ordered Doesn't he know that Mr.. Ryan
whatever power he may have in that stock COM
pany acquired that power through a transfer
of stock before had any relation 20 the insur-
ance investigation? When he says the net re-
suit Of the insurance inveSti cation was the sub
stitutiOn of Ryan for HYDE. does he think he can
fool the people OF this stater
Then. amid applause. Mr.. Hughes told his
hearers some of the things he said had resulted
from the insurance investigation. Ee enurner-
ated the various laws regulating insurance
which We're passed at the last session Of the
Legislature. and said. in closing:

/ under a Republican administration but / am
/ prouGer still of the fact th21 IL was under Re-
| publican administration that the committee. OF
