the conduct with regard to corporate abuses. We
have the question OF the prevention of wrongs

Rccumulations.
There has been in the last year a number of
serious disclosures What was the way TO end
that? To proceed the enactment. after a
far investigation. of legislation which would
secure proper government control and great
credit Is due from every citizen Of the country
to the untiring efforts in that direction of our
great President.

great problems.
MR. HUGHES'S INTENTIONS EVIDENT
I have been before you endeavoring to serve
the public for so long a time in connection with
such matters which have attracted great public
attention that / cannot believe 1t possible that
| you need from me any assertion of my inten-
: tion.
| If there is who has followed the
events of the last eighteen months when in the
1 life of publicity. had tried to great
wrongs and does not believe that tried TO do
1 ii honestly and that intend to keep on with
such efforts TO remedy all the evils that we
| found, there is nothing that 1 could say that
| could convince him. He is unconvincible In his
determination not to believe. And upon that
| record have appealed to you for support.
1 have already said. and 1 repeat it, if l am
elected Governor, I shall do my duty I
| it. according to my conscience, without dicta-
! tion.
l cannot do any more than TO tell you that 1t
| is impossible for me to express the intense de-
| sire feel 10 see the great corporations man
aging the great business affairs of this country
under proper governmental control so that they
will be service and not menace to the peop.c
But have the condition OF great prosperity
| We have institutions of which are all proud,
and must do what do decently, and in
order and not change or circumstances nv fol-
lowing inctations to disorder and find our pros
| perity vanished. find institutions weakened
| and strained by the severe assaults; find a re-
action which It may take years to remedy. No
ON the other hand we must go forward deter
| ninedly, deliberately and sincerely
AS MIR Hughes had finished he shook
| hands with most Of the people on the stage and
| made quick dash for automobile which
| was to take him to Yonkers. Job Hedges took
| his place at the Mount Vernon meeting
| Music Hall. at Yonkers. was filed to its ut
most. and some five hundred persons were turned
away. There were many women in the audi
ence and in the boxes. and several were on the
| platform. Francis A Winsow, ex-City Attor-
ney of Yonkers, presided. NJ Linn Bruce was
| the first speaker.
GREETED AT YONKERS
! When Mr.. Hughes entered the hall escorted
| by eX-Mayor Leslie Sutherland and Charles A.
| Brown. he got a reception that has not been
equalled in Yonkers in a long time The two
| thousand persons in the hall rose and cheered
| and broke out again when Chairman Winslow
| in introducing Mr.. Hughes. referred TO the fact
| that eight years ago almost to the, day a Re-
| publican candidate had stood on the very spot
| where Mr.. Hughes standing and got such
| another reception. and was now in the White
| House
After the usual Introductory remarks telling
| how proud he was TO stand before such an
audience and TO stand where Mr. Roosevelt had
stood, Mr. Hughes said that he knew there were
| Democrats present who had laid aside party
affiliations in order to defend the honor of the
| state He was proud speak to such, he said
| Mr.. Hughes went to say:
| The people tired of seeing men nominated
for office without the consultation of the popular
| will. They tired OF seeing men in office
| responsible not TO the people but to a part of the
| people, and sometimes TO very small part of
| the people. They want to know the man whom,
they choose to administer the affairs of the
| great Office of the Governor of this state They
! want TO know that he will administer il accord
ing to his conscience.
If they do not trust him they win not eIect
him, and if they do trust him they want him to
| be faithful 10 his trust. If / had not supposed
| 1t was the honest desire of the people OF tho
| state that l should assume the responsibility T
should not have accepted the nomination and 7
| stand before you without any obligation to env
| man; without any political debt to paw; with
| out any one having right demand that
| snail consult his wishes his advantage or
| any interest other than the interests of the
| people. - -e
