AS you are aware. Governor Hughes IN his

TO YOU that in order to insure the reelection Of
Governor Hughes the votes of those who have
been estranged by his official acts must be offset
if good government is to be continued In New

fore TO receive the assistance and support Of
every person. without regard TO his political af-
