First Speech at Mineola.
The first long stop and the first long
speech We're made at Mfneola. the county

son said:
/ think the issues in this campaign are
very simple; before we get through, nope
they will be- understood by everybody IN
the state on our side we are not ashamed
TO have you know what we stand lor ana
what we propose TO do In the frSt place,
We propose to carry out the pollcleS ana
the work which have been undertaken by
Governor Hughes. We think that we can
stand with safety upon the honesty! the
Integrity the foresight of his admnlStra-
ton When we look back and consider now
much has been done while he has been
Governor, how the state has taken chaT Se
of its public utility corporations, now the
Public Service Commission that he has ap-
pointed has laid bare the graft ana lIo
acknowledgement, for instance tnat uSeo 20
take place in New York City in the Metro-
pOlitan Street Railway; how IL mas taken
charge of our telephones. our telegraphs'
the improvements that have been maze III
our hospitals our asylums and our prisons;
the work that is being done here before
YOUR eyes on the highway; and consider in
connection with that, that 1T has been aene
with the honesty and the integrity OF
man like Governor Hughes, why, we thlnk
we can face YOU with q clear conscience
and ask for continuation of that policy at
the polls
And in the party we want you TO remem-
her that while there have been scandals,
while there have been crooks. while there
have been delinquents, at least we have
taken the matter in our own hands and we
every party that can say that. II Is not
every party that takes care of their own
crooks. They are very apt to Leave IT 10
others but during the last year the Re
publican party in the state has shown that
at the core Il was sound and that, was
TT TO govern and II this last convention at
Saratoga, after q full and open debate
according TO the Lood old American meth
DDS the party mas voted itself on the right
gressive and correct and the honest way;
that on our side l do not think We nave
any fear of facing the electorate at this
election.
Now. what have we got against us? In
plain, simple language we have Sot
ticket and platform chosen by one man,
chosen in Room 2l2, at the hotel at Ro-
chester where everybody went 10 have
their orders. The issue there presents
which we call Tammapy Hall and which
has controlled our city for so many years,
reaching out and seeking to place ITS hands
on the state government Do stand for
tfat? Does the state stand for that! Think
Ga it.
