WOULD THE "CROOKS'' OF- 19TZ
Candidate Iliighes is running on a personal platform of promises.
The safest the only trustworthy method of judging the future is by
assessing the past. Candidate Iliighes' promises should be 'weighed in
the light of his past performances as an, executive. , Here are some of his
promises made when be was a candidate for governor of New York, and
set opposite them are. his performances to correspond with them:
CANDIDATE HUGHES SAID: GOVERNOR HUGHES DID:
"I believe in labor legislation and Refused to appoint a practical
the great benefits that have flowed
from the wise conduct of labor or
ganizations." "I want to see fair Justice done
to everybody who works."
"Every practical measure for the
real benefit of labor will have my
support."
"I promise the enforcement of
the law with equal severity and In
equal Justice to all corporations
and individuals."
The conditions of transportation
In New York city are a shame, and
I purpose to find out the proper
method ' of procedure and whether
legislation or administrative action
is necessary."
railroad man to the state public
' service commission, although" urged
to do so by organized labor. V
Vetoed the bill giving women
schoolteachers equal pay with men
for equal work.
Vetoed the full crew railroad bill.
Vetoed bills urged by state tax
commission to compel corporations
to pay their franchise taxes prompt
ly and to authorize the tax board
to equalize special franchise tax
valuations.
Vetoed Coney Island five cent
fare bill, which would have saved
the people of New York city
$1,500,000 a year. Accomplished
nothing to correct street car over
crowding. . i
"I shall devote myself with re
newed zeal to the people's service.
My administration shall be an un
bossed administration."
Blocked in his efforts by the
bosses . of his party, Governor
Hughes resigned in his second term
to accept appointment to the Unit
ed States supreme court.
Mr. Hughes is not the Republican party. He would be no more able to
make good his promises as president than he was as governor of New
York If he were elected president he would be able to deliver only so
much as the Republican bosses the "crooks" denounced by Roosevelt in
1912 would permit him to deliver.

A Costly Joke.
"A joker got in his work on me a
couple of months ago" observed Billy
S. Clifford, the original and unabridg
ed, to a group of actors the other day,
"but I got one over the plate in reply
that Mr. Jokesmith will be apt to 're
member. "The joke that landed on me was
in the form of a cablegram. It was
a wire from a friend of mine traveling
in France; It came collect and cost
be $7.00. When I opened it, all it
read was:
" I am well.
"To get back at my friend for play
ing such an expensive trick on me. I
got a big cobblestone that tipped the
scales at twenty pounds, wrapped it in
excelsior and pink paper, sealed it up
in a handsome box and sent it by ex
press, collect, to my friend at Paris .
''It cost the gentleman $40.00 . On
opening the box he' found, along with
the stone a note from me that said:
"'On receipt of the news that you
were in good health the accompanying
load rolled off my heart."
