A feature Of the trip to-day was VII

several hundred citizens with PAM
met Mr.. Whitman at the station and

Mr.. Whitman's aunt, Mary Waills'
who is eighty-four years old, was I'M
able to come to the meeting, and ne
called on her at her home after ne had
spoken. She is the only surviving
relative on his mothers side OF the
family. Ills mother and father were

LYONS. where he was born. Aunt Mary

Mr.. Whitman's father, who was a
PRESBYTERIAN minister, attended the

David Arne. once lived in Auburn, and
later was the first county judge IN
Wayne County, ninety years ago. Inc
neighborly spirit prevailed at the Au'

Candidate Addresses 10000.
The Whitman train traversed On
tario, Yates, Seneca and Cayuga coun'
ties. coming here from Auburn for
big meeting at the Arena. The seating
capacity of the hall, 1000, was taxed
to overlooking. Mr.. Whitman's cam
paign managers conservatlvely estl
mated that he had spoken to more thar
10000 people along the line to-day. Inc
/ candidate spoke from the rear platform
of his car to large crowds at Waterloo
and Seneca Falls.
The District Attorney kept his guns
trained on Governor Glynn and th'
"Tammany gang" throughout his
speeches today, and his audiences re
sponded with applause to his saliles a.
the "misrulers" at Albany. He followed
a new angle in his criticism of the ex
travagance and inefficiency of the
Glynn administration when he rid
culed the Governors "relay system OF
Inspection" Speaking here tonight he
said:
During the four years of Democratic
administration in this state, the num-
Der of new position created-laborers
excluded more than 1000, up to
July of this year. The added burden
70 the people has been nearly $4,000
900 year.
Are you getting returns upon the
expenditure of S4,000000 year more
for salaries than was expended under
Mr. Hughes?
wherever you turn, in whatever
business you are engaged, you meet in
spectors. The inspectors of the labor
department have scarcely left factory
or business house until the inspectors
of the fire marshal's Office appear, and
close upon their heels come the in
spectors of the compensation commits
sion. | am not opposed to inspection
but / am opposed to the relay system
of inspection.
Wants Payroll Economy.
"My idea of economy is that ii
should show in the payroll. | give no
credit to a Governor for vetoing an
appropriation needed by an educa-
tional Institution or any other state
institution if a sum greater than the
appropriation denied is wasted in the
payment of salaries for useless jobs.
"Our Democratic opponents are in
genious in discovering new needs with
salary attachments. More than 1000
new Jobs in four years, more than
/ 900 year. Taking the average, it
may be said that every time the sun
goes down, including Sundays, three
new Offices with salaries have been
bestowed by the state upon three
Democrats, and yet we arc told that
Governor Glynn's administration is
characterized by economy.
At Geneva Mr.. Whitman discussed
the "alleged beneficial plan" of Gov
ernor Glynn, through which the farm
ers were supposed to get easy money
through a farm land bank. Under The
Glynn system, Mr.. Whitman said, the
farmer really paid more than 7 per
cent for the money Ire borrowed from
the land bank. whereas he formerly OBJ
tanned it for & per cent.
The Whitman party will leave here
tomorrow at 9 a. m. and visit several
