he loves his country, to do it in an orderly
and legal way. We want no anarchy In the
name OF reform. Applause We must
recognize that all we have and all hat we
treasure in this country can be expressed
in those words familiar to every student
of our constitution: Due process OF law.
Il do not believe in encouraging legal
evasion. We do not want efforts to make
the law itself an instrument OF oppression;
we do noC want the instr1mentaliti0s OF
government turned against the people;
but we do want everything that is sought
in the direction of the correction OF evils
sought in a manner which implies response
bility, which implies elf-restraint, which
implies a patriotic love OF the institutions
which WI would preserve.
IF we have a true appreciation OF what
il true and good and honorable in this
country; il we are prepared to devote our
selves to the service of the government
and for the benefit Of our fellowman, then
We will go forward n keep all we have
that in good and add to IL and correct il
day by day and as we go on In the line OF
progress we shall know that IL ia sobriety,
sanity and good seiise that oaiev reform,
and not censure, calumny, vttuperatlon, or
the gospel Of hatred"
The Hughes and Hearst trains narrowly
missed meeting in the New York Central
station at Rochester. Mr.. Hughes's train
had hardly pulled out going east when the
Hearst train came in over the Auburn divi-
NlOl WI AlukIlCb III bPC1h nv
Fulton, Auburn and Syracuse.
Mr.. Hughes n his party left Rochester
in a special train on the New York Central at
$50 O'Clock in the morning. George w.
Aldridge, Mayor Cutler and several other
Rochester Republicans were at the station
to give the candidate a sendof. Senator
William ". Armstrong boarded the train for
to-day's trip TO help out in the speechmaking.
Batavia in Genesee county was the first
stop. The candidate spent half an hour

in the town opera house. On the platform
among others was ex-senator Stevens OF
Utica, who is backing Peter A. Porter OF
Niagara Falls in his efforts as an indie
pendent candidate Endorsed by the Demo-
Gratis and Hearst to unseat Congressman
James W. Wadsworth. Mr.. Stevens and
his friends have said that the Congress
sional fight will ave no effect on the vote
for Governor, but some of the local poll
acians fear that 1t will.
Mr.. Hughes got a hearty round OF cheers
as he entered the Batavia opera house
and his utterances were frequently ap-
plauded. He said among other things:
If you could fool the people of this
country, IL you could for any length Of time
fool the majority OF the people, II would
not be a country worth living in. The one
security we have is that you can depend
upon the good judgment Of Amer cans.
When they have an important question to
decide they are not carried away by head
lines. Applause. They are not 30 sus-
ceptible TO sensational appeal as people
may think. Unquestionably sensationalism
sells newspapers. Unquestionably that Ia
the object OF certain newspapers, although
il may sometimes be accompanied by
political ambition; but the people OF this
country think they can hold their attention
concentrated upon a subject long enough
to weigh the facts, and are not dependent
upon one source of information And that
is the reason why in this campaign We md
Democrats and Republicans united in
support of decent government. Jap
plause.l
Il honor the old line Democrat who is
trler Ia his party convictions and 20 the
fundamental principles OF Democracy than
to allow himself to be stultifed by the
action Of a so-called party convention.

voted the Republican ticket in this cam
paiGn with double pleasure because | know

not "A sham independent. with "A real OPP
ponent OF bossism, with a man that really
believes in the expression OF the popular
will" ,
MIR. Hughes said that his opponent seemed
TO think IL impossible to practise law IN
an honorable way. Then he added: Il
to practise law than to sell some news
papers. The thing that is honorable In
life is to be fair and on the level
Mr.. Hughes told the Ratavians what sort
Of a Governor he would be in these words;
Il want YOU TO understand my fellow cltl-
@ that il I am elected I shall be your
Governor; II there is anything that ought
to know in the executive chamber ] want
you TO come and tell me; it you cannot come
personally | want you To write me. want

for the betterment and the improvements,
30 far a. that can be obtained through the
lust administration Of government. Tor

prevail"
Mr.. Hughes said. among other things:
The man who substitutes utilization
for honest criticism. the man who tries TO
breed bitterness Of feeling by distortion
Of facts, the man who is not content with
the evil tina exists. bad as 1t 10, but wants
to make it worse in the interest Of a selfish
ambition. that man IL the greatest enemy
Of our prosperity" lAppLause.l
Does any one think that he can fool
the people of this State by going about
with TRADES against that which Is essential
to our industrial life? No; let US uphold

why we have success in enterprise and
credit and security and everything that
goes TO make our prosperity possible"
