SUEZER TALKS ALL DAY
TO LONG ISLAND FOLK
Then Comes Back to the City
for Three Meetings on
East Side.
CONFIDENT OF VICTORY
Democratic Candidate Sorry,
He Says, His Work in the
Legislature Gave Pain
to The Tribune.

William Sulzer, Democratic candidate
for Governor expressed certain de-
gree Of sorrow yesterday that he had
annoyed the Tribune by an expression of
his satisfaction in his handiwork while
he labored in the vineyards Of the peo-
pie of this state. Addressing an audi
ence of six hundred people IN the Colonial
Theatre, at Freeport. Long Island, he
remarked: p. ....... .-.
During the FIVE years that l was in
the Legislature ] wrote upon the statute
books of this state over fifty laws, all
good laws, all general laws in the In
terest Of the people 1 have the salts
faction Of knowing that not one of those
laws has ever been repealed. That seems
TO give a pain to The New-York Tribune,
but ] can't help it."
Mr.. Suffers apology came in the course
of his last and hardest day of campaign
ing, during which he delivered more
speeches than on any previous day Of
the campaign. With twenty-one talks
throughout Long Island and three rous-
ing meetings on the East Side, he ended
a campaign that has taken him into
forty-eight of the sixty-ohe counties in
the state and during which he has WIS.,
tied over 125 towns and cities outside OF
greater New York.
Confident Of Victory, He Says.
When the fatiguing grind was over last
night the candidate expressed his salts
faction with his efforts and their probable
result. declaring:
THE verdict is now with the people
/ have made the best campaign could
and l feel confident of Democratic
victory The votes viii tell the story.
During my campaign have refralned
from personalities. l have not attacked
Mr.. Taft nor Colonel Roosevelt and while
/ have said a few things about Mr..
Hedges and Mr.. Straus when they at
tackled me l have kept my mouth shut
on a number Of things / could have said
about Shem which would have cut deep.
To a Tribune reporter Mr.. Sulzer con-
fessed that ne expected TO carry q num-
Der Of the strongest Republican counties,
but when asked which. ones he thought
would turn to him he declined to reply,
saying that he didn't care to prophesy..
At Mr.. Suffers first stop Of his special
train, Mineola, where 300 persons gathered
at the station to hear him at 10 O'Clock
In the morning, he said: rr... .
There is absolutely no doubt of the
election of the Democratic state ticket.
but we want more. We want the Legts-
lature, in order that We may write upon
the statute books the laws to which we
are pledged. If you give us the Legis-
lature to work with, l assure you that |
during next year we will give to the peo-
pie the relief that they want" .-
Emphasizing the same point, the candi-
date at every stop referred In laudatory
language to the local Democratic candi-
dates. several Of whom travelled with him
during all or part of the trip. Among
them were Lathrop Brown, candidate for
- Congress; Thomas B. Mahoney, candidate
for the Assembly, and David F. Manning,
candidate for the Supreme Court. Others
In the party were Henry p. Keith, state
committeeman from Nassau County; Ed
win Bayley, his defeated Tammany OPP
moment; Philip ]. Christ, chairman Of the
Nassau County Committee; State Senator
lanes L. Long, and George V. S. Will

Accident Causes Delay.
The CrONQS were u lel4l GAOPOA bAOAiS Gal
along the line. IN spite Of the fact that
the special dropped nearly two hours be-
hind schedule time before the afternoon
was half gone. The first delay was caused
nv an accident when the candidates train
was running between Greenport and
southampton. A pushcar, loaded with
railroad ties, occupied the track. Sud-
denly rounding curve just east Of Deer
Park, the train crashed into the stationary
car at forty miles an hour, scattering its
contents. Fifteen minutes were lost in
extricating the debris from the vitals OF
the engine.

we're delivered from a truck or pile Of
boxes on the station platform, but at
Greenport, Riverhead and Freeport he
smoke in. halls to audiences numbering be-
tween four and six hundred. Among his
hest outside audiences were those at
Patchogue, Southampton and at Sag Har-
bor. where he spoke to FIVE hundred from
the balcony Of the Nassau House.

sulzer at Jamaica, and, after dining with
his party, introduced him to twelve hun
dred persons in st. Mary's Lyceum. From
