New-York tribune., 1906-11-03

briefly. is that the government of this state
shall not be spoiled.
We want to to it that we go about our
business in an orderly way. We don't want sem
sations-we want things done. We want study.
There are some things you cannot put into
headline.
If you could fool the American people for any
length of time It would not be country worth
living in. And the reason we have disappointed
all the expectations of our friends across the
great ocean, who were prophesying disaster If
we ever tried to run free government. is be-
cause when deal with anything in sober dis
cussion in a straightforward way the people
decide 1t right.
HUGHES NOT BOASTING.
Now I cannot talk any longer, because have
so much talking TO do at other places. But
to tell you this want you to know that
If 1 elected Governor there will be
in the executive chamber who knows just as
well as anybody else that he has limitations,
who does not desire TO act in a boastfu way,
who does not desire to act in a sensational way,
but who is going to do his best TO do his duty
by the people of the state.
From Long Island City the Hughes party took
a long jump over wretched roads TO Arcanum
Hail. in Elmhurst where more than twelve hun
dred persons cheered the candidate for ten min
utes before he spoke. Here he said
have many meetings yet to attend. and must
keep those engagements although I would Iike
TO stay here with you all night
1 have been going through the state meeting
great audiences showing great earnestness and
enthusiasm. and all that I am desirous now of
making sure of is that you get the vote out.
The people of this state have determined upon
what they going to do, and the only
thing that remains is for them to do it.
Now, just few words in regard to my posi-
ton You want straight, honest government at
Albany. and so far as my power as Goernor
goes if I am elected, you will get it.
You want economical government; you shall
have it. We want not single penny expended
without return to the public We want no
graft. we want petty jobs. We want no one
getting anything from the state except where
he makes just return TO the state. But, on
the other hand, we want every dollar expended
that is necessary to enforce the law.
1 am for compelling corporations to obey the
law. I desire to see public service corporations
render the service which they are bound by
their charters to render.
You have got in Brooklyn a great transporta-
ton problem. If I am elected Governor l pro-
pose TO take that matter up and deal with il
promptly and, so far as my power as Governor
The crush that you. find at the Brooklyn Bridge
is disgrace to metropolis. The conditions

people want square deal.
shall hold those who are responsible to

countable for their service TO the public
want TO the reforms that were enacted
last year in regard to the great business of in
suranCe carried out. and the interests Of our
r,HicyhOders conserved If there is any amend
I.ent required if experience shows anything
further is needed 10 protect those interests, so
far as in me lies we will have that amendment
and that action.
We want 70 keep our house erect, and we want
to take out the rotten beams and put in good
timber, We want to save what is good and to
appreciate it. We know we have got a great
country 1t is idle to attempt to make
believe that business throughout the United
States is rotten. Business in the United States
is sound, and that is the reason why we have
prosperity
But where we find few more determined to
enrich themselves than TO benefit the public,
more anxious to get from the public than to give
TO it, they must be put under proper regulation
which will protect the public That is what
there is to II.
But in all this we must be patriotic we must
be more anxious to conserve our institutions
than we are to fling reckless criticisms about.
We must have that conscientious self-restraint
which makes a honor his neighbor that is
entitled to respect; which makes a man careful
of his words and shun a misstatement as he
would shun theft We want men jealous Of
the good name of our country.
