CIV and Fulton counties, Job f. Hedges,
psrpblIcan candidate for Governor, told
~, audiences that Tammany Hall was
,be real danger 70 the state this year,
~, that the real danger TO Tammany
vss the quiet, undemonstrative, unan-
,ornced vote Of men In the Democratic
,ortv" who couldn't stand for Tammany
Methods. Men like you upstate Demo
c-sts." he said, know the difference be-
tween Thomas Jefferson and Joseph"
'Mr. sulzer says he wants 10 go TO AL
,,ny TO reduce the high cost of living"
declared MI Hedges. Il presume he
means he wants Tammany Hall 10 live
without paying anything az all for II. II
q suits YOU Democrats upstate TO be er-
rand boys for Tammany Hail." he said
again, there's nothing can say will
change your minds. Nothing but prayer
will ever help you. But. he said also that he
ddnt believe that was the case. and the
applause which greeted the statement
wherever It was made indicated that he
was right.
The candidate began his days work at
frankfort IN the morning. At noon ne
addressed a big meeting OF the employees
Of the Remington Typewriter Works at
Ijcn. at which were many Bull Moosers.
To them he gave much attention, urging
them TO be as progressive as they liked,
but to use their votes where they could
help progress within the Republican
party
Urges 7rogrsssiVes to Come Back. b.
Come on back" ne said. We need
you. and we're going 10 get you. You
can't be decent and vote for Tammany
Hall this year. Before there can be any
progress In this state. we've got to get
nd Of what's at Albany now"
Votes for the Progressive ticket, Mr..
Hedges argued, were as good as votes for
Tsmmsny.
Mr.. Hedges also addressed meetings at
Fort Plain, S.. townsville. Canajoharie.
Fonda, and one here and another at
Johnstown tonight. Both the latter
we're big gatherings and lively ones. II
Is Characteristic OF all Hedges's meetings
that many Of his auditors take part In
the speaking. which becomes a highly In
formal debate at times.
After discussing the tariff and Governor
Wilson'S free trade ideas and their effect
on business and workingman's wages to-
night the candidate got down TO his criti-
eisn Of Tammany and its base methods.
Mr.. Sulzer says that Tammany Hall
Is the Democracy Of the state" said he,
and that Il needs no defence. / don't
think It does need any defence. 1t needs
about twenty years in states prison. ]
once helped 10 put q number Of Tammany
men there myself for voting more than
once, and when get TO be Governor I'm
going 10 put some more there II my
strength holds out"
Mr. Hedges paid his respects TO all
bosses and to M Strauss declaration
thar his activities as Governor would be
chiefly boss batting.
Will Not Waste Time on Bosses.
The real question in these days Of
bosses and things ike that" said the Re-
publican candidate, lis whether Gov
ernor owns himself or somebody owns
him. differ very radically from my
friend Mr.. straus on the duties Of the
Governor. He says that II he becomes
Governor ne will devote two years to
crushing the bosses. I am not going 70
devote two minutes 10 crushing the bosses.
] am going TO devote all my time 20 being
Governor, and II the bosses don't like ~
they can go of on one side and talk IT
over
This idea OF batting bosses is a very
good thing" Mr.. Hedges continued, 'ff
you haven't anything else 10 do. but the
real thing is seeing that a boss don't bait
YOU"
Az to himself. Mr.. Hedges said, he did
not think he was the possessor Of eli the
wisdom in the world or was the pattern
Of all morality, But know this" he
sooed. ~ I am Governor will attend
70 this governing business myself, and
I'm not afraid 10 try. will attend TO
The State OF New York myself IT has
cost the state $40, o00, 900 in the last two
years 70 have Tammany in Albany. II
you elect me all you'll have TO pay me will
De No,oO year. Isn't that cheap? You
can save over 100000.
Tells How To Get Rid OF Tammsny
Maybe Mr.. Hedges audience couldn't
quite follow his calculations OF this vast
saving TO the government. but they fol-
lowed his humor, and evidently liked IT.
Ano they approved Of his declaration
mat the only way to get rid OF Tam
many was to elect a Republican Cover
nor with Republican Legislature. In
uis connection he said Of the Dix busi'
ness administration:
NOW II these (ten million dollars) had
zen put In real public improvements, II
.hey had been put in agricultural
,,I, y they had been put In demon
suatlng farm work, II they had beer
~ IN any one Of a thousand things. In

ssyessary salaries, II would have been
