Southampton. Long Island. Oct. 10
Henry L. stinlson, the Republican can
didate for Governor. began his state
campaign to-day with a trip along the
south shore OF Long Island. stopping at
a score of places during the day and
winding up With a speech at South
hampton late in the afternoon and an
other at Sag Harbor in the evening
AS he had promised. he started right
in to get acquainted with the people and
made them acquainted with him. His
speeches, brief for the most part and
made from the rear platform OF his spe-
ciaI train. were pointed with telling con-
trast of Republican and Tamnany meth
ods and enlivened by warm praise for
Governor Hughes and a spirited defence
Of Mr. Roosevelt against the attacks
Of Mr.. Dix. whom he characterized as
this upstart. this romance of Charles
F Murphy
At every stop he declared his firm
intention TO continue the policies Of
Governor Hughes. who. he said, had
made this state the envy OF the whole
country The Republican party, he said,
could stand with safety upon the hon
csty. the integrity and the foresight Of
his administration. And against this
he contrasted the offering Of the Demo
Gratis. "a ticket nominated in Room 212
in the hotel at Rochester, the headquar-
ters of the Democratic convention, IN
der the hat of Charles F. Murphy"
Calls Dix Murphy's Nominee.
Repeatedly Mr.. Stimson drove it home
that Dix was the nominee of Murphy
and that if he were elected the admin
istration of the state would be a Tam
many administration. To show what
that would mean he quoted from the
records of the trial of Skene. the Demo-
cratic State Engineer. in Albany. and
read the statement of Skene's counsel
that the graft in the State Engineers
department was directly due to O'Neil.
whose appointment as Skene's deputy
Charles F. Murphy forced. Carrying
out his criticism OF Tammany methods,
he said:
"One Of the issues raised against Gov
ernor Hughes is the issue of extrava-
gance. have called upon my opponent.
Mr. DIX. to specify. and I shall do IL
right through this campaign. to put his
finger on a single instance OF extrava-
gance in specific language where money
has been used that did not go for the
benefit of the taxpayer along the lines
that il should go.
Can the same thing be said OF Tam
many Hall? Why. during the last
twelve years that New York City has
been "A consolidated city it's budget OF
expenditures has increased 10 per cent,
and in that time in the state. in spite of
all the additions We have been making,
in spite OF our canal policy. in spite Of
our highway policy. in spite of all our
new hospitals and new buildings which
Governor Hughes has erected. IL has
only increased 66 per cent"

The days work began in Long Island
City before 9 o'clock when commuters.
hurrying through the Long Island Rail-
road station stopped to board Mr.. slim
sons special train and shake hands with
him and wish him success. The train
