question Of supreme Importance n whether
the WoruB and the promises and the DECLARE
lions o. principle come from the heart or
are used Tor the purpose Of obtaining sup
pot n winning votes.
when my opponent puts his name upon
the top OF the sheet for which he in effect is
~responeible, he desires the credit that comes
from the wide circulation Of that paper.
But when any one IN injured in the conduct
OF that ape he does not desire the liability.
The name Of the star Company is not found
upon that paper, but il win be found in the
that paper.
When il comes to a display Of fireworks
Tor the glory which may be the result OF
tnat indication Of enthusiasm; but when
people are injured and the question comes
up OF who shall pay the bills for the injury
occssioned In the course of that display IL
" the city of New York that must pay the
bill or IL is some corporation like the N afional
ASSOCIATION OF Democratic Clube that will
pay the bill. Credit, yes; liability, no.
,Wnen II is a question whether a great
and important plant shall be extended
throughout the State and the nation as an
example OF successful journalism we find
every effort to put my opponent at the
front as the organizer and the director
oil that great enterprise. But when it is a
question OF paying taxes to the city Of New
York for the protection that the Govern
ment OF the city gives to that plant and
that enterprise we fail to find that the
taxes are paid. We find on the other
hand that statements are presented to
the Department of Taxes and Assessments
in the city Of New York showing more
debts than there are assets statements
made Tor the purpose OF evading taxation.
And when my opponent talks toyou with
regard to the evils Of corporate manage
ment, with regard to the evasions Of law
In the course Of corporate administration.
with regard to the failure on the part of
those having great privileges to discharge
their obligations to the community, IL IL
fair and right that / should test the political
sincerity OF these declarations by his own
corporate record"
MIR. Hughes held a few minutes reception
in the opera house after his speech; then
he was whisked away in his auto, with
the cheers OF the Huntington folks ringing
In his ears. One of the tires on the machine
which contained the candidate blew up
before the railroad station was reached,
but the disabled auto went humping along
and pulled in at the station only a few
minutes late.
At Mineola Mr.. Hughes spoke before a
crowd Of 300 persons. Here also a brass
band was out and there was plenty of en-
thusiasm. Mineola il the county seat OF
Nassau, President Roosevelt's home county.
There is no place" said MIR. Hughes,
that l come to with more pleasure than
the county seat of the county that il the
residence Of the first citizen Of this great
republic. II il under the leadership OF
Theodore Roosevelt that the most important
work has been done in connection with
the reforms that the people demand. II is
under his leadership that we are proud
to stand and with whom We are proud to
go forward"
Mr.. Hughes went on:
The Government Of the United States
never has been and never will be a Govern
ment by mob influences. TIL Government
of the United States and OF the State Of New
York rests upon the determination OF
thoughtfu men to have things done in a
thong htful and considerate way. That il
what I stand for"
On the trip into Long Island City from
Glen Cove Mr.. Hughes addressed crowds
at Roelyn, Hampstead and Garden City.
There were about 200 people at the Roslyn
station. In the crowd was an attractive
woman dressed in black. She listened in
tently to what the candidate had to say;
then joined the line Of hand shakers and
moved along with them until she reached
the rear platform.
"Mr. Hughes, " said she, Il was very much
interested in your speech" Mr.. Hughes
thanked her, and Just then somebo dy
stepped up and said: ~Mr. Hughes, this is
Mrs. Clarence II. Mackay."
About $50 Leople turned out at Hampstead
and an equal number mt Garden City. Among
the citizens who welcomed Mr.. Hughes at
the latter place was Bishop Burgess Of the
Long Island Episcopal diocese.
Arthur Brisbane. the editorial writer for
the Hearst newspapers, dropped on a train
at Garden City just as Mr.. Hughes wa fin
ishinR his speech. A delegation of st. Paul
schooiboys cheered the candidate there.
Mr.. Hughes arrived back in New York at
Q o'clock, having in his two days trip visited
most of the important places in Long Island
and delivered twenty-four speeches.
