Reviews Measures Passed by
Democratic House.
IGNORES HIS OPPONENTS
Spends Greater Part Of Time in
Trip Down Hudson in Praise
of Himself.


Democratic candidate for Governor. went
last night to what he characterized as
one of the greatest meetings he had ever
seen. He held the attention OF the Demo-
Gratis, who packed every corner OF Car
negie Hall to hear the leading nominee
OF the party, until Governor Woodrow
Wilson arrived.
Two meetings In Brooklyn wound up
the candidates day begun at 10 o'clock In
the morning with a talk from the back
platform OF his special train 10 the hum
bred citizens of Ravena who gathered TO
listen to him In the rain. His other stops
during the day included Catskill, SAUCER
ties, Kingston. Newburg, Cornwall and
Haverstraw. He leaves town shortly al
ter midnight tonight TO complete his tour

rupted for the moment by last nights

Mr.. Suffers talk at Carnegie Hall was

sold the truth to serve the hour. In the
burst OF cheers which followed there came
from several quarters OF the house plain
ly distinguishable cries OF "Tiger! Tiger
In my opinion" began the candidate
for Governor. Woodrow Wilson will be
the next President of the United States
just surely as the sun will rise to-mor-
row morning"
When the shouts which greeted this
prophecy subsidized the candidate plunged
into his attack on the Republican party
for what he called their failure to re-
duce the tariff on the necessaries OF life,
saying the tariff was living question
and would never down until II was
settled by the friends OF the consumer.
He then reviewed the reform measures
which the Democratic House wrote upon
the statute books. and declared II was
only the most forlorn Bull Moose who
could not see that the cent returns
from Maine and Vermont demonstrated
the return OF Democratic supremacy.
And now" said the candidate, benin
ming the second half OF his talk. "a word
about myself"
The review Of his record which Mr.. Sui
ger gave was not the first he had given
during the day. On his trip down the
west shore he ignored his opponents on
the other tickets as completely as he did
on the first day OF his upstate campaign.
A potent reason for this oversight was the
time which he devoted to himself
While accusing the Progresslves or
stealing many,of his policies, Mr. Sulzer
unbiushingly appropriated the principal
theme OF their leader. Besides New
York. Newburg was the only place dur
ing the day AZ which he devoted any
length OF time to other subjects. and even
there he apostroph.sed the Arst personal
pronoun for fifteen minutes after promis-
Ing Martin II. Glynn. the candidate for
Lieutenant Governor, immediate posses
sion OF the stage.
Robbed OF the embellishments which
none VIII deny the candidate can throw
around his expressions, the thread OF his
days discourse ran about as follows:
I am an honest man and don't like 10
talk about myself But | must. because
Demo cracy in this state on my shoulders
to-day.
l have worked up from tho bottom. up
and up. until to-day. by my own exer-
tons. am standing In the shadow OF the
CarItol OF the greatest state in the union.
II | am any Judge Of public opinion. and
think ! am as good Judge as any man
living the people OF the State Of New
York are going 10 make that shadow the
substance on Election Day
when the uessimist says that the door
OF opportunity In America is closed, you

the people OF this state and that is II

Governor. ] am free, | am Independent.

under my own hat.
came up from humble surroundings.
but to-day I have the satisfaction OF
knowing that through my works In the
vineyard OF mankind my name Is a house.
hold word all over America and there
are five million Jews in Russia who never
go to bed at night without praying for
William Sulzer. | am a world man, and
] believe with that songster OF humanity.
"boh'v' Burns, that n mans a man for
all that.
IL remained for Mr.. Glynn 10 take n fall
out Of the Republican and Progressive
nominees. The turn OF Job Hedges came
at the Kingston Opera House. where less
than two hundred people cheered the cam
gether five hundred or six hundred to
hear Oscar S. Straus exactly two weeks
before.
Mr.. Gyms fling was occasioned by Mr..
Hedges's reference to him in his Long
Island talks on Friday, when Mr.. Hedges
was quoted as saying that Mr.. Glynn's
remarks about the Republican, having
selected the joker of the pack as a candi-
date made him mad, but only for a min
ute. Mr.. Glynn observed:
am sorry | made Mr.. Hedges mad,
even II only for a minute. ! would not
halt the gayety OF the nation that long
for the world.
Mr. Hedges says that the people want
a square deal. but the trouble i every
body wants 10 deal l am no card player,
but / understand that In every gentle
mans game everybody does deal Poll
ties ought TO be a gentlemans game.
Direct primaries make politics a gentle
mans game-everyb ody's game. but for
years the Republican friends OF Mr.
Hedges at Albany have blocked direct pr
maries by every trick known to political
warfare.
Mr. Hedges Is fond OF saying he will
continue the work OF Governor Hughes
We would like TO ask where he was when
Governor Hughes needed his help to pass
a direct Urinary law? Then his wit was
dumb and his tongue was still-very still.
II Mr. Hedges doesn't stOp talking about
continuing the work OF Governor Hughes,
the people will conclude that the Repub-
lican convention az Saratooa carried a
Joke too far in nominating him.
Turning to the issues OF the campaign.
the candidate for Lieutenant Governor
said in assailing the Republicans as re-
sponsible for the high cost OF living:
