Judge Samuel Seabury, his Democratic
opponent for the Progressive endorsement
for governor. Only fraction of the 49,
600 enrolled Progressives in the state went

was only about four to a district. The
Progressive vote aroused more interest
among state and national leaders than
any other feature of the primary, for it
was regarded as giving some light on how
the strength Of the party would be divid-
ed in the national election. A majority
Of the Progressive leaders Of the state
supported Mr.. Whitman's candidacy. The

Contrast with Hughes

I'VE have seen, Mr.. Hughes said,
what appears to be the consideration
of immediate political expediency at
the expense Of public welfare.
Contrast the attitude of the admin
istration with what was said by Gro
yer Cleveland in 1856 with respect to
labor legislation:
"'All legislation on this subject
should be calmly and deliberately un-
dertaken with no purpose of satisfying
unreasonable demands or gaining par
tisan advantage
Without Excuse
1T is idle to excuse the action by
the request for additional legislation
with respect to the future. That legis-
lation was not obtained We are deal
ing with what was demanded and ac-
tually enacted"
Mr.. Hughes spoke before crowded
house. His speech tonight was his Sec
ond in Springfield. The first at the
State fair grounds this afternoon
dealt chiefly with his ideas on pro-
lection of American industries. Amer
lean rights and preparedness. He also
touched tonight on the protection Of
American rights.

ed loudly.

tomorrow night and will deliver six
speeches on the way.

administration as the price Of peace was
