He's all right yelled another in the
audience.
Among other things MI Stimson said:
Why is IL that in this contest between

why is IL that all the money goes 10 the
other party that comes from Wall Street?

Why. It was the question which Governor
Hughes when he was running two years
ago smoked out Chanler on. Even Chan

position was that. after Governor
Hughes had asked him about it And

Why, I have right here some extracts

not a menace to any honest business

First Speech at Ticonderosa.
The days work began at Ticonderoga,
where there was a warm meeting at the
local hall. Several hundred people were
there TO hear Mr.. Stimson. though IL
was only 10 q. n. He told them he was
& follower of the Hughes policies, and
was determined to continue the Hughes
standards OF administration If he were
elected. At Whitehall, IN Washington
County, AssemblyInan James s. Parker
Joined the party. Mr.. stimsOn made
rear platform speech there TO a big
throng. which shouted and cheered for
him.
Among other places. EIr. StimsOn to-
day spoke in Hudson Falls, the home OF
Democratic State Chairman Huppuch.
He did not refer TO him in any way, but
Job Hedges did. He told the chairman's
neighbors that just because Murphy had
named a respectable Democrat for the
head Of his ticket. and that man had
chosen another respectable Democrat for
state chairman, they must not think
that all the Tamnany outfit was like
them.
Why. If Dix were elected he wouldn't
have one single minute 10 give to ad-
ninlstrative duties" said Mr.. Hedges,
solemnly- He'd have TO spend all his
time watching that Tammany bunch,
and then probably they'd get away with
the Capitol They don't study the con-
stitution. They study the Penal Code.
All they want 10 know Is, Where is it?
How much is there? Is anybody look
ing?"
Mr. Stimson had a big meeting at
Glens Falls, the birthplace Of not only
Charles z. Hughes, but also Of John
E. Dix. where they cheered the men
ton Of Ex-Governor Hughes's name
70 the very last echo. and shouted for Mr..
Stimson as his legitimate successor. At
