From the rise to the fall of the curtain the show

Letters to the Editor on the Nomi-
nation for Governor.
UP TO THE PEOPLE.
UP TO The Pc
tor of The Tribune

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Perhaps never have the people Of the State
of New York had such opportunity as now to
assert themselves and rid the state OF boss rule
for time TO If the opportunity is not
taken 1t may be years before another chance oc-
ours. The Republican machine men say Governor
they propose to do eli in their power TO defeat MIN
and put in mere puppet that will do their bidding
and ignore the rights of the people Of the state
Are the law-abiding people of this state going to
stand aside and let this sort of thing be donef 1t
is not question of party politics II is question
touching the very fundamental doctrine of the Re
public. Shall the people rule this state, or Few
political aspirants who ignore the people ana work
the state government for private interests?
How long are the people going to stand this
sort of thing? Can the people elect Governor
Hughes for second term? Yes they can A few
years ago IN Northern New York the people went
TO the convention with the name of an able man
for Supreme Court judge. The Syracuse boss had
a By smart political tactics the man was
nominated. We Northern New Yofkers not used
TO being bossed that way, put up our man ana
elected him At first laughing stock to
the politicians. But soon the laugh was turned
and we elected Watson NJ. Rogers, who has proved
himself eminently worthy of the place.
What we in Northern New York can do the state
at large do if it wants. We have a leader in
Governor Hughes of whom may well be proud
He is willing sacrifice himself for the good Of
the cause. viii not the people do as much? It will
take time and money but il will he worth while II
the state is rid forever of boss rule.
The national ticket is in danger whatever
from this sort of movement. Give the politicians
plainly TO understand that Governor Hughes is
wanted and else and they will not dare To
ignore the demand. How can we do it? Call on
every politician within your reach and tell him
your mind, write your paper and talk with the
editor; talk with your neighbors and make a stir
about IL at once and Governor Hughes will De elect
ed for second term and law and order will pre-
vail. Keep still. do nothing and cannot COM
plain If this state is dominated by boss rule and
gamblers for time to come. Men absolutely
unfit TO be in politics will rule the state they
please, and we will have only ourselves to thank
for it IOIN STERLING
