 New York's Governor.
ADDRESS TO THERMOMETERS.

*Then's My sentiments,' Declare, | "UnoIe Joe," Following Plea of Ex'
 ecutive For Self Denying Labor I' 1 Administering Government.
 Bluff Point, N. Y., Sept. 7.-What the governor of New York said to the governor of Vermont was guessed al by a train load of people when Gov ernor Proctor at Whitehall boarded the car containing Governor Hughes and party. Later at the big biennial ban quet of the Vermont Fish and Game league here the truth came out.
 Governor Hughes said 1t was ''How are your public utilitiesy'
 There was lots m ore in the govern. or's speech. It fairly thrilled the 500 and more prominent vernonters, who remarked that MT. Hughes would have the delegation to the national conyen. tion from that state.
 | What the People Want. | Uncle" Joe Cannon was there, and Baron von Rosen, the Russian ambas- sador, and Governor Proctor, Maxwell Evarts, Representative Joe Sibley, Sen ators Hill and Davis, Judge Ide, Ad- miral Clark, once of the Oregon; for mer Lieutenant Governors Prouty and Frisbie of Vermont and Charles A. Moore of New York, who between the eleventh and thirty second cigar "Un- cle" Joe smoked privately read him facts and figures to prove that Secre- tary Taft is wrong about demand for tariff. Both Governor Hughes and Speaker Cannon made notable speeches. Mir. Hughes began by saying:
 "You5ha heard great deal upon the stump upon the occasion when the electorate was sought to be reached, about the rights of the people and the voice of the people, and we want to see more of such recognition of the rights of the people in the administra- ton of government. The people want to see more actual self denying labor In order that the affairs of this coun- try may be fairly and impartially ad- ministered. The time has gone by when offices of great responsibility, the management and administration of which are essential to the peace and prosperity of the state, shall be made mere rewards for political service.
 "The time has gone by when the great objects of government which are for the benefit of the people of the state can be subordinated to private interests and public offices be used for the purpose of barter or sale. The people have their eyes now upon cor rect and efficient administration, and they have got to the point where they make comparisons of what is done by the officials of a state and what it is possible fora we'll disciplined business man to do, and the motto is now, the best for the state.'
 Surfeit of Fish Legislation.
 q was glad to hear about your management of fish and game legisla- ton. signed special fish and game bills in the state of New York until my hand got weary, and finally I said l will take look at the legislation and see how it goes and I found that in series of years we had had fifty or more bills passed in regard to our for est, fish and game. The bills I signed were represented to me as important, but after awhile I said, Let's stop and think We'll, we stopped and thought, and when bunch of about thirty odd bills came in I stopped and said: I think we have had enough forest, fish and game legislation for this year. I have signed twenty-seven bills already. Let it go to another year, and let's look and see what ought to be done to obtain proper legislation best suited for the interests of the people instead of adding statute to statute to our enactments' for this special reason or that at the special instances of this one or that one.'"
 Uncle Joe Cannon followed. He was frequently cheered, but his greatest hit was when in complimenting Gov ernor Hughes on his speech he remark ed in his peculiar tone, "Them's my sentiments"
