There is not the slightest doubt about the
strength Of the Governor with the masses OF Re-
publicans in this city and state, said Mr SAKE.
"Tbev see in him man who can carry out all
the good features of the Roosevelt administration
without making serious errors They are conhoefr'
that his candidacy President will make 1t pos
sibe to carry this state by 100000 The vote year
before last in this state was not true test OF
sentiment toward the Governor he was an uh-
known quantity then. The vote in 1906 was not so
much pro-Hughes as anti-Hearst. Now that the
voters have seen what the Governor can do and is
disposed to do there is no telling how large his
margin would be if he ran for President next fall
who is there to lead the fight?"
THAT is the hard question" said Mr.. SAKE Al

the other fellow is an avowed candidate and is

why did you not attend the Albany conference

Because I was not invited in time. The con-

II don't know what will be done. No programme

Senator.

Il don't know Senator Page is referred to now
and then as the accredited representative of the
Governor / don't know that he has tried to dis
claim the glory that attaches to IL. L doubt IL
any one has been authorized to represent the
Governor in this movement. My position is this:
There was a strong Hughes sentiment in my dis
trict and in view of it l decided to introduce a
Hughes resolution in the county committee
believe in recognizing sentiment as it comes along.
/ Informed the Governor of my intention and he
replied that he had objection. There is con-
siderable Hughes sentiment in all the districts,
but the trouble is 1t has not expressed itself.
1.-The voters are for Hughes. and when they ex-
press themselves the politicians will get in line.
