Fighting His Own Battle.
The Governor is In fine fettls. Only
half-heartedly supported by the regular
Republican organization. he is starting
out 10 fight his own battle. regardless
OF managers or bosses. He realizes
that he has tremendous opposition to

the more keen ror the fray.
Race track gambling. Wall street gam
bling. Metropolitan traction looting and
defense OF the Public Service Commits
sion are the texts OF his campaign. Mr..
Chanler Is to be the target at which he
will aim every shot.
Personally Mr.. Hughes considers his
opponent a gentlemanly. well-meaning.
nne fellow. but politically all chubby
feeling is to be forgotten and the blows
are to be given straight between the
eyes.
There is to be plenty OF ginger in tho
camuaign. The Governor intends to use
names and figures when he speaks The
cloak of respectAbillty is not TO hide
traction manipulators or race track
owners
Posers TO- Race Track Men.
