Next was the tent meeting in Williamsburg.

Coney Island or some other place equally remote.
He got out found a man who knew some

party got on the right road. When they reached

HUGHES AT TENT MEETING.
Nathan L Levi. who speaking, introduced
Mr.. Woodruff "the next United States Sen
ator from New York" Mr.. Woodruff spoke
briefly urging heavy registration, and then in
troduced Mr.. Hughes. who spoke as follows:
Fellow Citizens: This is a peoples campaign.
This is campaign for those principles which
are more important to the people of the state of
New York than any issues that have been dis
cussed during my memory.
We live in time when the conscences OF the
people have been aroused. We live in a time
when from the Atlantic to the Pacific, the bust-
ness men of our country determined that
business shall be transacted according to proper
principles
We live in a time when the business men Of
the country and all the people Of the country
who intelligently consider the affairs Of the ma
ton are determined that our politics shall be
managed without bosses; that officers shall
act without dictation; that our government shall
be run without interference on the part OF any
special interest.
We stand for that and we do not propose that
vested interests and that honest endeavor to
right things that wrong shall be capitalized
for anybody's private advantage.
We do not propose that the correction Of tho
evils that exist shall be made use of in q manner
ffl1O1y q infiama aided distortion
facts in the interest of selfish candidacy.
Look at this. that read IN last nights paper.
Yes, 1.-The Journal" This is what it says
about me:
ABOUT GAS RETAINER
Last spring. with considerable flourish,
MIR. Hughes was retained by Attorney General
Mayer in connection with the gas swindle"
Then, after referring to Mr.. Mayer. 1t goes on
to say:
DO you know what Mr.. Hughes did? The
moment he was retained to fight Ryan's Gas
with the retainer Of the people in his pockets"
Think Of that Think of that. Who told
him?
Now do you want to know the fact?
The fact is have not had and have not

the institution of the suit by the Consolidated
Gas Company, and after an application had
been made for an Injunction in the Federal
ordered. he asked me to give my assistance
because of my familiarity with some of the
facts and to argue the case before Judge La
oombe. For two weeks we labored together
day and night in the preparation of papers in
the preparation Of argument. and made our
argument
We did what we could to maintain the law
which had been instrumental in procuring
the passage of, and which sincerely hope and
expect will be sustained, and when he came
to retain me, instead Of his putting money in
my pocket, the subject of money was not dis
cussed, and went to Europe TO get a rest that

eral Mayer In my pocket Now, what do you
think Of that sort of campaign material?
He did not care whether 1t was true If he
thought somebody might have believed Il to be
true He did not care whether Il was true or
false II he thought he might get a vote by in
ducing somebody to believe that had betrayed
the people.
FAIR METHODS DEMANDED.
Oh, we want to make things right. and they
are being made right, but they have got to be
MADE right by fair people; they have got to be
