State Issues Paramount.

I'm referring to this record of the
federal administration / should not be
understood to imply that this is cam
paign OF national issues. The para
mount issues i'm this campaign are
state issues. But in the matters when
1 have mentioned we find a notable
record of achievement which presents
a striking contrast to the noisy pre-
tensions of the hour
Our state administration has also
accomplished many genuine reforms
On the contrary, Mr.. Hughes emu
merated the reforms with special refer
ence to life insurance companies.
What do we find in opposition TO
us?" he asked.
"A masquerade. An Independence
league, whose independence has been
betrayed. and so-called but spurious
Democratic party. which has violated
every principle of Democratic govern
1nent.
vain is it for our opponents TO pa
rade in the livery of virtue Empty
are their professions and hollow their
declarations and promises.
The Buffalo Convention.
eff you would know the sort of adj
ministration we should have i'm the
event of their success. look at the Buff
falo convention; for there you will find
their motives and their methods mir
TOred.
I'VE test the sincerity of their indie
pendence by their efforts to procure the
Democratic nomination.
I'VE test the sincerity of their appeals
10 American ideals by their despotic
proceedings.
we test the sincerity of their at
taeks upon the question of money in
politics. by their use of money in pol
tics. We test the sincerity of their de-
Votion to the interests OF the people by
their efforts TO foment disorder and ex-
plot ignorance in the interests of self
ambition.
What. then. is the supreme issue of
this campaign? 1t is not an issue of
the Republican record. II is not an is
sue of Republican principles or Demo-
cratic principles. 1t is not a partisan
issue at all. II is the vital issue of
decent government.
The question is whether the unholy
alliance that succeeded at Buffalo shall
capture the state of New York.
