Senator Repeats That He Is in
Favor of Letting People
Decide.

Senator Everett Colby had a lively
time last night when he attempted to
make a speech in the Third ward, al
Spruce and Somerset streets. The
Senator said at the outset that he was
willing to answer questions and had no
desire to hide anything he knew. This
| statement led to Interruptions.
He dwelt on the excise law and the
, changes that are demanded by many
residents of the county and restated
hat he was willing to introduce a bill
that would ALLOW the people of any
municipality TO decide for themselves
what kind of excise government they
wanted
Considerable verblage was used dur
ing the evening, but n man. who said
he had. been out of work for two years,
wanted to know what the New Idea
people would do to help along business.
IF | could answer that problem-one
which is confronting the whole u
try" said the Senator, II would be the
greatest statesman in the country. 1t
is true we've had hard times for more
than a year and that thousands of
worthy men are out of work, but while
people are starving in New York and
this part of the country thousands of
bushels of wheat are stored up In Chi
cago for speculative purposes"
The Senator also spoke at another
meeting in the Thirteenth ward, at
800 South Orange While he
was speaking there the Republican
executive committee of the ward was
indorsing his rival for the nomination,

BALLSTON, n. Y, Aug. 27.-The
snub given Governor Hughes by the
owners and drivers participating in the
Saratoga County Fair track events
who refused to take their horses out
of their stalls till the Governor had
departed, is being discussed here to-
day.
1t was the climax of a distinctly 'un-
friendly feeling which. while it never
reached the dimensions of a demon
stration, yet filed the air.
The Saratoga County g'air Associa-
ton is one of the organizations which
formally opposed Governor Hughes's
reform bills, and it had been planned
that a delegation from Saratoga
Springs should attend and make a nos
tile demonstration. The plan was
called off by political leaders VINO
feared that it would prove a boomer

up In an automobile and waved feather
busters, to which were attached plue
aags Inscribed, personal Liberty. Au-

would prosper in spite of the aboitioh
Of race-track gambling
.You have in this county one oil the
most beautiful resorts that this coun-

he anxiety of the moment many may
feel that the prosperity of saratoga
Springs Is threatened because OF the
destruction of public gambling. But

buttress of your prosperity, and you
