Climax Of the Trip.
The reception which the Governor re.
ceived here tonight was the climax to
the splendid turnouts along the line Of
the New York Central that greeted him
In his upstate campaign for reelection.
II was remarkable the manner In which
the crowds turned out At Palatine Bridge.

gomery county Little Falls and Herki-
mer In Herkimer county lion. North
flion and Rome in Oneida county Oneida
and Canastota In Madison county. The

covering Ave counties.
Throughout the day Mr.. Whitman was
In splendid shape. He had plenty Of pep
In his speeches. rousinG his auditors to a
high pitch OF enthusiasm. M tonight he
was at his best. His address, which
summed up the points that he made In
his short speeches. contained references
to what he refers u "~Seabury's slips
taking up the mistakes which Judge Sea-
bury, his Democratic rival. has made In
the course OF h campaign. In seeking
10 create substantial issues in the cam.
paign.
The Governor and his friends believe
tina Judge Seabury made . mistake
when he sought to uild up a false issue
out OF the preparedness legislation en-
acted during the Governors administra-
ton. They say Seabury showed ne had
not even read the State Constitution or
the militia laws already on the statute
books. To-day the Governor nailed An
other slip to Seabury's record n de-
clared that the Democratic nominee did
not know the Federal laws relating TO
the National Guard.
MY opponent" said the Governor.
said In these parts on Saturday that II
the Governor was In favor Of real pre-
paredness ne. the Governor. would not
have allowed the National Guard TO 20
to the border without equipment or with
out sufficient equipment. Now. think Of
that.
Calls II . "silly Charge"
III Judge Seabury had read the law
he would have seen that the National
Guard is equipped by the Federal Gov
eminent. Everything the members OF
| the guard wear 10 furnished by the Fed
law he would havs realized what . silly
charge ne was making. He has insulted
the intelligence Of every voter.
There are two fallac!es In his charge.
In the first place I had nothing to do
with their equipment. In the second, !
did not send them at all. II his argu-
ment were true. then who committed the
wrongs Of which he complains? Not the
Governor whom he 10 opposing. but the
national administration which he 10 sup
porting"
The Governor then remarked that the
arguments which Mr.. Seabury Is present
| ing to the voters show the kind Of cam
| paign he Is conducting, namely, one with
| out any real issues.
Gov. Whitman in the days speeches
emphasized the great economies he had
| effected In the department OF highways.
! He showed that he had reduced the cost
| Of maintenance and repair Of public
| highways from 1850 q mile In 1914 10
$685. during the present administration.
MY opponent charges me with ex-
| travagance," he remarked tonight, but
| he IL repeating statements made by a
group Of his friends who do not know the
facts, They MI the Judge UP with
things to say before ne goes on the plat
form. and they would not dare to come
out publicly and make them. They know
| how foolish they are. but they use Sea
bury az their tool
Mr.. Whitman also showed the saving
he Ia effected by the amalgamat!on OF
| the various labor departments under the
new Industrial Commission He pointed
out that In 1914 the Glynn administra-
ton appropriated i.66s,0 0 for the
