Hughes Wins Support in Saratoga County Fair
Governor Hughes spoke at the Saratoga County Fair in Ballston Spa and won over many farmers and townspeople with calls for direct nominations and law and order. He faced a mixed reception from the racing community but found broader support beyond Saratoga Springs, with several local officials and rural residents voicing positive views on his renomination despite anti-Hughes sentiment among professional politicians and horsemen. The turnout was modest, with spectators-turned-listeners gradually engaged as he pressed his points on governance and Saratoga’s future prosperity.
