Gov. Hughes on election day. de saio: =
IL wac only this last week that [ was
anaating In n IItt1o city I'm the northeastern
corner of Massachusetts,. Nm close to the
Nav uamnshIre line and the incidental
mention Of the name of Mr. Hughes ellcited
an instan, and impulsiye round of applause.
I did not 20 out there to talk aboutAp
Goyernor and II was not because had aaid
mnch ahout him that nv alIusion was
created with such a tumuituous uprising.
I merely remarked to them in a casual way
that although up to n month ago, with all,
the Republlcan machinery. not Reptibz
ljcans hut Republican machinery. worked
partly from Albany and partly from WASH
inpton. only languidly assisting him. Gov,
Hughes has been and is doing moro to lift
New York State out of the slough OF DO
lltlcai despond and out of the Dit of govern
mental perdltion than all the pulpits and
churches Of the state from Troy to Chau-
tauaua have been doing In a decade; that
he IA AZ much a prophet as Elijah and as
much An apostle as st. Paul: that he is al
ministering a revival OF religion of the
best kind. not revival of religion that would
melt into tears but that congcals into stiff
fened ethical purpoae That Is all said
And what they applauded was OF my words
but the man, Their applause was an Offer
ing laid upon the altar of their devotion
TO exalted manhood that dared still to be
manly and sterling even under embarrass-
ment and solicitations OF position OF large
civic trust
There is a considerable number OF people
that are going about with some other little
grievance or other in their pockets. Some
are going to withhold from the Governor
their support because there Is about him
that certain intractable and unmanageable
integrity that is SO unusual In positions of
large civic trust as to be little bewildering
and because so much emphasis has been
given to the moral Spartanism Of the man
that they would feel more comfortable to be
we'll rid Of him.
But perhaps the most astonishing in
stance OF personal grievance Is that OF the
l3 900 women teachers who have entered
into an unholy conspiracy with the gamblers
to defeat as Governor the man who has
lust succeeded In crowding the gambler
into compulsory respect for that article
of the State Constitution that positively
prohibits gambling: the man who has shown
himself enough of an ethical Titan to face
chivalrously and successfully situation
that Legislatures have muddled and that
the courts have lodged. and to face IL
singlehanded and alone by the power OF
