the rest Of his party Atuca Is the nome
town Of Frederick c. Stevens, Superin-
/ tendent Of Public Works. an opponent
OF the wadsworths. Yet the Speaker
and Mr.. Stevens shook hands cordially
this morning and sat on the same plat
form while 3Ir. Stimson was speaking.
after which the Speaker himself made
q short talk.
Wadsworth Speaks in Home County.
From Attica the expedition went 10
Dalton There Mr.. Stirnson talked for a
moment TO a handful Of people who had
collected 10 see him No meeting was
scheduled there. and the party stopped
there simply to board automobiles. which
whirled them across Livingston County
10 Nunda. A. that village there was
lively meeting in a hall Mr.. StimsOn
made a great hit with his speech. and
when Speaker Wadsworth. On his native
heath. urged the election Of Mr. slim
son and the entire Republican ticket the
-'Wadsworth peasantry'' cheered loudly.
The next stop was at Mount Morris. the
expedition still heading into Livingston
County by automobile. Luncheon was
eaten there. and then came a meeting
in the local theatre-a good TOusing
meeting. Mr.. Stimson fired hot shot into
Tammany and reproached his Demo
cratic opponent with CowaTdice or a de
sire 70 evade tie issues. because he
hadn't replied TO the questions about the
repeal of the Public Service law and the
anti-gambling laws.
The jury is entitled 10 know where he
stands" said Mr.. Stimson. 4 call on
Mr.. Dix to take the witness stand and
let US know. I ask him whether his
silence means, as it would in court. that
his testimony would tend to incriminate
OF degrade him on the subjects or to
impeach the position that he would pre-
fer TO stand in before the people of the
state. When a witness fails to take the
stand in court we know what it means.
When a witness fails to take the stand
we know that if he did take the stand
it would not help him in the opinion OF
his counsel: and 1 think the people of
the state ought TO have some light on
these subjects in this case"
Visit to Craig Colony for EpiIeptics.
From Mount Morris the party motOred
over to DansvilIe, passing the Craig Col
ony for Epileptics on the way. Mr..
Stimson had hasty glance at the build
ings and farms of this state institution
and expressed much interest in its work.
At Dansville a wooden platform had
been erected in the street in front OF the
Hyland House. From this Mr.. Stimson
SPOKE. standing bareheaded in nasty.
drizzling rain. Across the street the
windows OF business places were open
and men and women sat at them and
listened to him and the other speakers.
He spoke briefly, covering the same
ground touched on IN his previous
speeches Of the day. He left opportu-
nifty for Attorney General O'Malley, Mr..
Hedges and Speaker Wadsworth to talk.
Mr.. Hedges aroused much amusement
by his description of Tammanys politi
cal principles and policies
They don't study the constitution
down there" he said. They study the

how to get il and whether anybody is
looking. If Tammany ever got a hold
OF the state treasury it's a gross libel
to say they would clean it out. They
wouldn't take all the money there was
there; no. but after they got through
you'd be able to notice that they had
been there. They might leave ten or fiji
teen dollars just to show where the place
was when they went back"
Mr.. Hedges said the Democrats hadn't
to advance one reason why man should
vote for Dix; all they did was to try to
dig up reasons why he shouldn't vote for
Stmson.
Work of the Public Service Board.
Here tonight Mr.. Stimsol, in talking
about the work of the Public Service
Commission, took up the Republican
record on labor laws. Among other
things he said:
Do you know, for instance Of the ad-
vanCeS that have been made under the pub
lie service law in the single item of boiler
Inspection Of our locomotives? They have
charge of that. l have in my hands here
