EVERYDAY WORK IS WHAT COUNTS
81 want men to enter the service of the state
in time of peace with the same spirit with Whlcn
thew enter the service of their country in time
of war" he said. 1.-The flag floats over the
public buildings as the army; the same
spirit of patriotic devotion should animate those
called to the service OF peace as those called to
the dangerous hazards of WEI"
The everyday work was what counted went
on the Governor. 'the constant willingness to
subordinate questions Of advantage 10 this one.
or ones self to the paramount interest OF the
people"
Then he told how he had carried out that
ideal, painting picture of state departments
fairly galvanized to efficiency and great service
for the people-the Labor Department strength
ened and reorganlzed, the Agricultural Depart
ment with it's scope widened, the new Public
Service commissions, bulwark protecting the
people against corrupt and powerful corpora
tons.
THE campaign against US is campaign or
opposition" he said. 81 have looked In vain to
find any constructive programme. 1t is a cam
paign apparently designed to take each of the
various elements Of resentment created in our
efforts to do duty honestly and make polit-
cal capital out of every particle Of opposition"
Speaking of the denunciation Of government
by commission" in the Democratic state plat
form, as contrasted with the virtual laudation
of that principle / the Democratic national
platform he asked:
why is it that that which is denounced at
Rochester is lauded at Denver? We are en-
titled to know that think could make a
pretty shrewd guess. Down in New York City
the traction companies lie PROSTATE. burdened
and overwhelmed by the obligations cast on
them. Was it because of lack of patronage?
Go down there and travel bit and hang on TO
strap, and you will find out a few things BY
reason of the manipulations of finance and the
pyraniding of securities and constant enlarge
ment of issues without due regard to the value
Of the underlying purpose, service has been i'm
povershed, and to-day these concerns lie pros
trate in insolvency proceedings. Now is the
time for upbuilding. but not going to
have a repetition of former scandals. What
stands between the public and the repetition of
past scandals? What is 1t that stands as the
representative of the people, supervising issues
of securities? The Public Service commissions
law. Now you why the for repre-
scented at Rochester denounced that law. 1t
was not matter OF principle it a matter of
pocket and we propose that this matter shall be
understood by the people of the state"
REPEATS QUESTIONS ASKED CHAMBER.
Governor Hughes repeated the questions he
asked Chanler at Buffalo about the repeal of
that law.
They are stin unanswered" he said
yesterday, l understand, my opponent said in
effect. that it was important he should not lose
his temper. I'm sure 1 don't him to lose
his temper. Sitting for couple of years in the
executive chamber realize the Importance of
keeping ones temper. He says, in effect he will
not submit to any mans attempting to lay out
his line of march. I am not trying to lay out
his line of march; I merely want him to tell US
where t is marching to. Let him tell us what
he means by indorsing the Democratic state
platform denouncing government by commits
sion"
The Governor also wanted to know if Chanler
wanted TO repeal the Agnew-Hart laws and re-
store racetrack gambling.
Are you in favor of amendment 10 the
constitution taking out the present prohibition
against public gambling" he asked the Demo-
cratic candidate. If not let those marching
under'yiour banner know it That's fair If you
are, then Will discuss that question"
Direct primary nominations were highly de-
sirabe, the Governor said, a means of infus-
ing fresh interest, new blood and honesty into
party work He pleaded for lust American
government-the kind we talk about on July 4
but which is hard to get" and urged support
of his candidacy not much for himself as for
the Oh the IDEAS HIlIcn ne mad tried
carry out in his administration.
After the meeting the Governor went TO a re-
ception and supper of the local Delta Epsilon
fraternity. He is the guest of Frederick R.
Hazard.
Leaders of the local Republican organization
not willing to make any detailed predictions
to the outcome of the election in this county
OF course. it will give Hughes plurality but
indications that this will be not like that
given two years ago-the biggest in the state
Various reasons are assigned to account for the
probable falling off, including the racetracIk
gambling issue because of the racing at the
State Fair here, personal popularity Of Chanler
due to his official connection with that institu-
ton, unfriendliness Of organized labor railroad
men and volunteer fremen to the Governor and
the present personal liberty" proposition
Without question all of these things do figure
a certain extent in the local situation. Hughes
independents say that II there is any large fall
