thS.t it is,their government, that the repre-
sentatiyeS Of the people are most truly
anxious to serve them; and every mar
who 10 in any way accountable TO me in
a department or a commission will he held
strictly accountable to me, will lie held
strictly RESPONSIBLE for the manner in which
Inc serves the people, and with reference
to the question whether any special interest
Is allowed TO come in 40 a. to interfere
as an, opposition TO correct and pure admin
istration.
We have great need in this State Of a sense
Of responsibility to the people, We do not
want anv question Of partisan expediency
to transcend the supreme question Of the
public right. Parties should recognize that
the highest partisan expediency Is to rem
der public service, and when a party If en-
trusted with the administration Of govern
ment it should prove itself worthy of con-
iidence because II obeys the just will Of the
people before every other consideration
and is willing to go to the people for their
Endorsement, not by party manipulation,
not by a trickery at the polls, not by any
effort to obtain an improper expression OF
the public sentiment, but by n sincere de-
sire TO show that they have rendered a Just
account Of their stewardship in Office.
Mr.. Hughes said further that the aues-
ton upon which the men Of New. York
state are called upon to vote is
whether we shall have honorable govern
ment in this State, whether we shall pro-
gress in an orderly and decent manner or
whether We shall throw judgment over
board and appeal to Observation-Disclosures. in
short, we shall enter upon the path which
leads straight to disorder. II not 70 anarchy,
or whether We shall go ahead surely and
sanely.
Mr.. Hughes declared that no man Is a
genuine refomer who pretends to favor
reform and yet Is impatient with the regular
means of obtaining It. SaidsMT. Hughes:
As SnOn Ms Won lQo n man WIN apnda
forth his indignant appeals, his condemna-
tons without reference 10 order, without
reference to what is essential TO the pros
perity Of this country and TO the main
tenance OF our Institutions, he is no re-
former; he is no American. For what is
the object OF reform? IL is not 70 sell
newspapers. IL ia not to put anybody in
Office. The object Of reform is to put
our government on a firm basis and make
il serve the ends il was intended to serve. 7"
other speakers at lamp Hughes were
Tom Rock, Senator Alfred r. Page. Lieut.
Gov. NJ. Linn Bruce and Attorney-General
Mayer.
From Camp Hughes the candidate shot
over to the Harlem Arcade. 231 East 124th
street. Fully 1000 persons blocked the
street in front Of the place. They swarmed
around the candidates automobile like 40
many bees, and when he alighted he was
swept along past the main entrance. There
was another way OF getting into the build
, ing through an adjoining saloon, and into
this the candidate darte1. The mob fol-
/ lowed, and in the rush tcward the hall
7, chairs, tables, beer and drinkers we're over
set. The. 900 persons in the hall cheered
like mad.
-Our Governor" said the chairman in
introducing MIR. Hughes, n the place
rang with shouts of That's right. he's as
good as elected At this meeting Mr..
HI ghes repeated some of the things which
he has said before about Mr.. Hearst. we
won't have an alliance With a boss in the
name of ant -bossism,' exclaimed Mr..
Hughes after he had described the Hearst
Murphy deal, and the crowd shouted its
approval:
Harlem Terrace, 30 East 1o4th street
There was a big crowd on the outside there,
also, and only one or two policemen to as
sist the candidate. Mr.. Hughes. when he
got inside the hall, was practically, alone,
the two policemen having fallen by the
wayside. He was caught in a crowd and
borne of down the aisle.
Reporters who were with him Jumped
in and tried TO help as much as they could,
but the impetus was too great, and the
candidate was bOwled along 20 the plat
form. The rush left "A string of wreckage in
its wake. Chairs were overturned and
broken and men thrown 20 the floor.
The chairman had to pound with his
gavel for ten minutes before he could re-
store order, and then things were kept
humming most Of the time while the can
didate was speaking. Just about the time
that Mr.. Hughes began TO talk a squad OF
policemen squeezed their way into the hall
hut they weren't able to prevent another
rush when the candidate left.
About 1000 persons greeted the candidate
at the Sta Theatre in Forsyth street, and
outside there was a thronR of 1000. Old
Campaigners said IL reminded them OF
East Side. MIR. Hughes had hardly started
his sneech at the Star Theatre when he was
interrupted by a Hearst supporter in the
gallery. -
There were shouts of Put him outi"
Kick him in the eyel7 and -T~wenty-three
for hist" until finally somebody down in
front yelled Let him sit there, and
we'll hand him a LEMON"
During all this Mr.. Hughes was standing
on the platform without saying a word
Then he suggested that the interrupter
| should be allowed to retain his seat. but by
that time two or three husky men OF
the Eighth Assembly district were remov-
! ing the Hearstite. Mr., Hughes was cheered
roundly. The ToliCe had to accompany
his autour obile for more than n block when
he was leaving, the street being choked with
enthusiasts.
At Columbus Hall. in West Sixtieth street,
Mr.. Hughes spoke before an audience Of
1000, most of them negroes. From there
| he went to Durland's, arriving more than
half an hour late.
Mr.. Hughes was accompanied on his
nights campaigning by his son. Charles
