Charles r. Hughes finished his tour OF
fong Island yesterday. delivering nine
speeches on his trip in from Sag Harbor.
II was the central and northern part Of the
island which the candidate covered yes
rerdsy, and the welcome which he got
there was about the same as that accorded
him by the folks along the south Shore
an Monday. At some stations the crowds
were not large, but everywhere the people
who turned out listened attentively and
we're to all appearances favorably impressed
A Long Island crowd ordinarily isn't, very
demonstrative. but at some OF the places
Yesterday, notably Glen Cove, there was
q big hurrah over the candidate. Az on
Monday, many women turned on yester-
day to shake the candidate 3 hand.
Mr.. Hughes said afterward that he was
well pleased with the conditions which
Re found in Long Island.
The two days trip" said he, has been
n great SUCCESS. The people on Long
Island arc thoroughly aroused and give
every appearance Of cordial support. It
has been gratifying to see SO many women
IN the audiences. That is significant OF
the interest taken in the issues OF the cam
paign. II has been a pleasure TO meet
20 many people. I believe that the result

Mr.. Hughes spent the time on the trip
over in the pilot house taking in the sights

Of 400 people greeted the candidate at the

q small platform which nae been erected
near the station. Mr.. Hughes's voice was
. tnt1e husky from the strain which it had
undergone on the trip down the south
shore Of the island. He said in part:
This Is truly an Empire State. As l have
rome from Buffalo almost to Montauk the
thing that has impressed me most has been
the glory of the Empire State-its great
indus, RIGS. its great natural advantages
appeal to every one who desires to sec the
people OF this part of the United States
continue in their present prosperous and
happy condition.
" want good government in the State
Of New York. We want an administration
If the affairs of this great jurisdiction with
hut q single ptlrpose-a desire that all the
people, no matter what their particular
line Of work. shall nave the greatest adj
vantage from an administration of the in
stitutiOns which were intended for their
benefit
Il am glad to appear before you az n
who accepted the nomination for Governor
believing that it came in response to a
demand Of the people. l nave had no
dickcrs with any boss-I have had no alli-
snce with any faction. 1 have responded
10 the request Of the Republican party as a
loyal Republican because l believed that
the Republican party appreciated the great
opportunity that it had and the great duty
that it had to serve the people Of the State
in a contest for decent government"
Three cheers for our next Governor

Riverhead crowd cheered roundly as the
candidate appeared. Mr.. Hughes said in
part at Riverhead:
There is a right way to do things and
there is a wrong a to do things. You
cannot in this int achieve any per-
mancnt reform by proceeding along UNI
democratic lines. You cannot stand forth
aa the nominee Of a real Democratic party
and prevent the expression Of the popular
will il a political convention. You cannot
enter into an alliance with a boes to get a
nomination and then convince the people
that YOU are against bossism. Applause
You cannot stand one moment on an
independent platform and then deal with
those who are in control. or supposed TO be
in control of the directing power Of a large
your interest and your ambition may b
served by this position or by that.
W have a great issue here in this cam
paign-the issue OF sober and sane leader
ship. What il wrong in our life We must
correct. What is. evil in the administra -
ton II great enterprises we must correct.
The government for the people must stand
supreme, and there must be no interest
which can stand between the administra-
ton n government and the service of the
people.
While We do not want corporation rule
We 10 not want rule by the Sta Company
or the New York American. lApplause.l
While we want public opinion to have
free course and to maintain our Govern
uent according to the principles OF our
fathers we do not want public opinion per-
verted and facts ditorted in the interest
Of selfish ambition, whether it be for the
purpose Of selling newspapers or for the
purpose Of obtaining Office.
