10 address myself particularly TO you. l
haven't any quarrel with you and you are
going to be nearer 10 me than ! am u
you on November .. o.,,,o.z
narty because they said there was no
freedom of Individual movement therei
that everything was directed by unseen
forces Well, / am the answer 10 that;
II may not be important TO you That
was nominated, but nobody nominated me
but the delegates at Saratoga after Ia
travelled three thousand miles asking
them to do Il. That proves the Repuoh-
can party hasn't lost its yirillty and force;
All men, whatever their politics, wanted
Just about the same thing, 10 make as
much OF themselves materially and spirit
ually as they could in this world. For
that to be possible there must be equality
OF opportunity at least before the law,
and that meant honest statutes, and that
meant honest legislatures at Albany and
Washington and honest executives and
administrators.
Says Tammany Must Go.
Now, ] submit TO you good people,
urged Mr.. Hedges earnestly, that before
there can be any real progress in this
state the present administration must be
eliminated from Albany. Man for man, IT
must go. IL cost us 100000 to change
from the Republican administration TO
this just because we got peevish. We
shall have either a Republican or A
Democratic Legislature next year--no
man in this state can figure anything
else Now, It rests with you who have
gons into the Progressive movement TO
say which II shall be. In New York,
