! Speaker Wadsworth made a vigorous
plea for the election of the Stimson
ticket and Republican Legislature to
support the state officers This was es-
sontial. he said. that the great agencies
OF government built up in the last few
years by the Republicans. the Public
/ o-'-A'Asn9AfiAS anu AHe Cldlt nigh
way Commission, be not taken over bv
Tammany and its upstate Democratic
connections. He said that in his judg-
ment Tammany never would repeal the
Public Service commissions law if It
were able to control the commissions.
The Speaker added:
When they put Henry l. stimson at the
mead OF the ticket he became my candida te
ana he is to-day. There is a lot more in
tllat atltude than mere party regularity,
100 II Is not only because he is a Republi-
can and we are that we are for him il is
not only our Instructive loyalty to the Re
his fight and that OF his colleagues II is
because there is a greater reason and a
more important issue even than that of
state in this campaign.
1t is because the government Of the State
OF New \ ork Is threatened: its character
ana its tone. as YOU know. have been raised
70 a level never before attained in the an
lals or New York; and we do not intend
to permit that tone and that spirit in pub

maintained with such marked success by
the Republican Governor backed by Re

greeting in Onondaga County last night
His repeated references to his progress

and the people liked the determined way
in which he said il.
IT despise the cowardice which cries
Halt" he said more than once, to the
manifest delight of his hearers.
The leaders through this part Of the
state think Republican prospects are
good. Senator Griffith said of Wayne
apathy in both parties but the Repub-
licans we're at work, and by Election
Day he expected to see the regular ma
iority rolled Ut. He hadn't found any
drift 10 Democracy, he said. though he'd,
heard talk OF il ENAsseublyman
Edison X. Hamn agreed with Senator
Griffith in his views, Both belong to
the Progressive element, which is strong
for Stimson because he is a Hughes man.
These men. who include Pliny T. Sexton.
Charles T. Ennis and others well known
around the state think the regulars

At Newark the next stop. Mr.. Slim

Cority II Dix and Huppuch. his self-ap-
pointcd state chairman and business
PARTNER. on the tariff issues. His story
of Tho wallpaper rates brought laughter
and snorts Of dcrision from his audience.
AIr Stimson wanted 10 know just when
Dix was going TO answer his question
Il bout the repeal OF the Public Service
commissions law lie did not have much
genuine trust in the sincerity of the
Democratic anti graft pronouncements
