TO AID CANDIDATE
Sanford Praises Fight for Re-
publican Freedom - Utica
Gives Big Welcome.

The Human managers at the Murray
Hill Hotel East night went over the can
vass Of the state. The figures were even
better than had been expected, and po-
litical managers Of long experience as
serted without reserve that they indi-
Gated the election of Mr.. Human as the
Republican candidate for Governor.
"We have covered every election dis
trict in the state said J. Calvin
acKnight, chairman of the campaign
committee. Reports have been re-
ceived from practically every one. The
figures have been verified by the county
chairmen, and they show an unques-
tionable majority for Mr.. Hinman. All
the reports We have received to-day
show that Mr.. Humans strength has
been increasing rapidly in the last
weel."
The Seneca County committee, meet
ing at Waterloo yesterday afternoon,
PASSED HiRman resolutions.
Edward Sanford, of 81 William St.,
who was legal adviser to Governor
Hughes in his first term and who drew
the public service law, has issued a
strong argument for the selection Of
Ar. Human He says in part:
THE direct primary reform fathered
IN this state by Governor Hughes, with
AuE AUaG assistance ana pIdNklGdi
knowledge Of Senator Hinman, will be
on trial on Monday. So far as the Re-
publican primaries are concerned, the
enrolled voters of that party are fortu-
nate in the three candidates for the
Republican nomination for Governor
This is not enough, however. The di-
rect primary will only be vlndica.ed =
large vote is cast and if the best
candidate Is selected
Praise for HinUan.
THAT Mr.. Human is a man of tho
highest character is we'll known. Like
Mr. Hughes. when he became Governor,
Senator Hinman is a lawyer of the hrst
rank, of calm judgment and with the
habit Of sitting evidence and deciding
al, questions upon their merits.
'In addition to the qualities which
enabled Governor Hughes to achieve
so much for the people of this state,
Senator Hinman would go into the tx
Ccutive Chamber thoroughly acqualnt-
Cd with all problems of state admin
istration, thoroughly versed in all mat
tcTs pertaining to legislation and thor
oughly conveTsRnt with all state instl-
tutions and their needs. Without
question Senator Hinman could and
would give to this state just such an
ADMINISTRATION as u tuJOgSN fOANSA
Governor Hughes.
Neither of the other candidates, 1t
caA be said without making invidlous
comparisons, possesses either the pro
fessional ability OF Senator Human or
aas knowledge Of state problems and
affairs at all comparable with his
Representative George w Fairchlld.

from Utica that Mr. Human had d big
