The meeting was the largest of the
day on the candidates upstate tour
DESPITE the hard rain more than 1000
persons crowded into the theatre. t
became the occasion for the exchange
Of pleasant fluctuations between Mr..
Binman and Mr.. Whitman. The de-
feated primary candidate urged all ms
friends 10 forget recent differences
and rally to the support Of Mr. Whit
man.
"Tbere is but one issue in this cam
naipn." Mr.. Human said. "and that is
The restoration at Albany of an non
est and efficient government. One OF
two men will be elected, either the
present Governor or my friend, DIS
trct Attorney Whitman. Four years
Of Tammanyized state government has
discraced the state in the eyes of the
nation. What is needed Is good old
fashioned houscclcaniug at Albany,
and Mr.. Whitman is the man TO do 1t.
The chairman Of the meeting created
a general laugh when he said: Dis

senting TO YOU our next Governor,
Charles s. Whitman
Mr.. Whitman began by saying that 1t
was a great honor 10 speak IN the nome
OF the man who was respected by all
here as he was throughout the state.
lie is your friend and my friend,
said Mr.. Whitman, "and ] could not
possibly have beaten a better man.
Perhaps the only reason / did was be-
cause there were more people IN New
York than in Binghamton.'
The Republican candidate, Tor the
first time during the upstate campaign
challenged Governor GlynnS claim 70 all
the credit for the enactment OF the
workmen's compensation act. Mr.. WHIT
man discussed the same subject before
a thousand employees OF the big Endl-
colt Johnson Shoe Company, at each
of the nearby towns Of LesterShlre and
Endicott, prior 20 the Binghamton
meeting.
Following Governor Glynn's visit a
few days ago 10 the factory at Endl-
colt. when George 7. Johnson, Of the
Endicott Johnson company, extended
the courtesies of his automobile 10 the
Governor, as he did to-day TO Nh. Whit
man, the Glynn press bureau issued
circular to the effect that Johnson and
the employees of the big shoe concern
were out for GlvUn.
Mr.. Johnson Indignantly denied II
to-day. He said that the use Of his
automobile by Governor Glynn had no
more political significance than its use
by M Whitman.
Referring 10 the worbmen's comper-
sation act, Mr.. Whitman reviewed the
history of the measure in the state and
showed that the credit If 10 belonged 70
any ona man belonged TO Governor
Charles +. Hughes, who first set the
machinery IN motion toward accom-
plishing such legislation.
The District Attorney pointed out
how Governor Hughes. realizing that
the workmen's compensation act was
entitled to consideration and probably
a much desired measure IN the state,

Court of Appeals.
The people voted for q constitutional
amendment IN order to get the com
pensation law. and Mr.. Whitman told
how the Governor last December pushed
