ADDRESSES FIFE HUNDRED AT BROCTON
Leaving Fredonla. where he spent the night,
at s a n the Governor made run In an auto
mobile along the shores of Lake Ontario,
through splendid vineyard section, to Brocton.
There. at Thespian Hall he spoke to an audience
of five hundred persons stirring them TO enthu-
siasm as he told OF the big things he had accom-
pIished by the pressure of appeals TO the people
on the facts of the case. not by the old methods
of barter and dicker and patronage to obtain
votes.
From Brocton. accompanied by Justice Hook
er. Game Commissioner Whipple, Tax Comnis
sioner Woodbury. and q large delegation OF
Chautauqua County Republicans, the Governor
went to Westfeld, still by automobile There he
addressed large audience, always talking on
his record. Next came jaunt along the shore
of Chautauqua Lake in a special trolley car to
MayvilIe, the county seat, and another speech 10
a cheering throng Thence the Governor went
to jamestown.
jamestown was eager 10 hear Governor
Hughes since it is hot Hughes town and the
last time the Governor was there his voice
failed and forced him to abandon two big meet
ings. SO most Of the popuace turned out TO
greet him when he went to the New Sherman
House for luncheon, and he held informal re
ception for half an hour. The halls in James
town were not big enough to accommodate the
throng which wanted to hear the Governor.

thousand persons squeezed themselves inside.
Every one OF the Governors points brought
cheer and there was one for good measure when
he declared, In connection with the difficulties
he had encountered in obtaining the enactment
Of the Public Service commissions and the anti
gambling laws: 'T will admit to you my friends.

arduous, and you may lament the agitation and
Interruptions Of ordinary transactions which are
incident to these great political discussions. but
# is by means of opinion and choice Of officers
after public argument that maintain our in
stitutions and insure our continued prosperity
The healthy way Of working the institutions of
the country is to have public disCuSsion--a lot
of it. You may agree with what have done, or
disa gree, but I have tried to serve YOU faith

elected I shall continue in the same course"
SECTION STRONG FOR GOVERNOR.
Affairs politically are all favoring the Gov
ernor in that section beyond the normal
Republican conditions The factional fight
among Democrats in Cheutauqua County will
bring many votes for Hughes. There are two
county committees. one for the Mott faction and
one for it's opponents. and two city committees
in jamestown. The Conners people who have
been trying TO down Mott, brought Chanler to
jamestown and paraded him around, managing
to insult the Mott people in every possible
fashion, thereby sending many good Democrats
to the Hughes camp Some Republican voters
belonging 10 the Wade wing of the organization
will vote against the Governor because he ap-
pointed Frank Stevens chairman of the upstate
Public Service Commission. but local men re-
port that the Hughes vote In jamestown and
Chautauqua County VIII run ahead Of its mark
two years ago.
And in Cattarausus IS the same way. We
Should not have the slightest difficulty in
ming the Governor away ahead of Taft
