Mrs. Stimson Attends Meetings.
The Prospect Hall meeting was to have
been the first of the evening, but the
programme was changed. After dining
at the Union League Club as the guest
of Mr.. Kracke with Eugene Schoeneck,
candidate for Lieutenant Governor.
Congressman William Calder. Darwin
r. James, president of the Young Re-
publican Club: r. o. Wood and other
leading Republicans. Mr.. Stimson drove
to the Memorial Hall, in the Young
Women's Christian Association Build
ing. Mrs. Stimson, with party of
women friends in an automobile. fol-
lowed her husbands party throughout
the evening, and attended all the Brook
Iyn meetings where it was possible to
get into the hall.
| At Memorial Hall the crowd had not
yet gathered to as large an extent as
it would have at a later hour. The
$50 persons present, mostly Swed-
ish Americans, gave the governorship
candidate a cordial welcome, however,
and punctuated his declarations in favor
of a continuation of the Hughes policies
with applause.
| After driving at breakneCk speed to
Prospect Hall the automobile party, con-
sisting of four machines. fairly flew over
the space between that point and the
Flatbush Republican Club. the head
| quarters of the 18th Assembly District.
Five hundred people had crowded into
the hall and balcony, and two hundred
more had managed to wedge themselves
into adjoining rooms. Here the atmos-
phere was so warm and friendly that the
candidate talked less formally than at
any preceding gathering.
"You don't know how much the
warmth of a reception goes to put life
and enthusiasm into a, candidate he
said. Even a candidate is human, you
know. Sometimes his schedules don't
treat him as if he was
Inbued with Hughes Policies.
After dwelling on the value of trip
| through the great Empire State from an
educational standpoint, and the respon-
sbilities it awakened, Mr.. Stimson de-
Clared himself once more a progressive
Republican, imbued with the policies
and standards of Governor Hughes. He
referred particularly to the Public Ser
vice law as a step forward, but warned
the people of the responsibility which
such powers as were vested in these
boards brought, not only to the Gov
ernor but to the people. He said:
Think of what an INSCRIPTIONS or even
a slack and Old-fashioned party system of
government could do with these great en-
prostitute them to party purposes.
Why, a machine could be built up I'm
this community and in this state which it
would take weil-nigh a public revolution
10 get rid of and overthrow. Now all of
| those things are things which it seems to
me 1t Is necessary for us to consider I'm
this campaign We know the attitude
which Governor Hughes has taken toward
all those things, we know how scrupulously
he has kept them out of partisan or cor
rupt politics. and we also know what the
record of the organization that is very
Wen known TO have controlled the Roches-
ter convention-we know what its stand
ARDS are toward those things.
In the County of New York we hava
seen its attitude toward the judiciary we
heard State Chairman Corners come out
last year in an interview in which he de-
nounced Tammany Hall for its system of
tne sale or Judicial nominations. And
think what 1t would mean to have an or
ganization of that kind, with those infiu
ences ana those traditions. get hold of the
modern state government. When Won

but there are a great many possibilities of
danger and harm when you undertake to
act with too little responsibility with an
automobile which you did not have i'm the
old OK cart. | have had that borne in on
me in travelling here this evening.

issues of the campaign. l only wish to saw
