Seth Low Says Repub-

FearIessly

New York, March 21.-An immedi-
ate recognition by the New York state
legislature OF the Hughes policies and
of Governor Hughes as the party
standard7bearer. together with a fear

ton, Is the only avenue OF hope for

today made by Seth Low. former pres

mayor of New York City
The statement says In part.
Nothing would be easier. out OF
such conditions as now exist than to
divide the party In the STATE into hos
tile camps. either of which would take
greater pleasure In defeating the other

thing is likely 10 lead.
The unreasoDiDg hostility of the

as little as the organization In the
state of New York may be able to
appreciate it. Governor Hughes, out
side IL the state. is q tremendous as
SET.
II had tho pleasure of speaking in
the middle west during the last presi-
dental campaign. in some of the
states iu which Governor Hughes had
spoken Everywhere l found that no
one else had spoken for the party with
such great effect. and everywhere the
interest in his reelection as governor
was hardly second to interest in the
election of Mr. Taft as president. The
problem confronting the Republican
party of the state OF New York cannot
he appreciated unless this fact Is thor
oughly we'll 0pprehended.
Anyone who presents Governor
Hughes as an impractical dreamer I'm

organization. either decoives himself
or is attempting to deceive others.
