Hughes and the Southern Opinion on Governor Hughes
A compilation of editorials praising Governor Hughes and his renomination. The Charleston News and Courier argues his renomination delays New York’s drift, while The Utica Press and The Binghamton Republican call him the platform himself and catalog his solid leadership. The Buffalo Express lauds him as the every day man’s governor, and The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle extols a government by the people. Syracuse Post-Standard notes party endorsement and unity ahead of a Republican triumph with no apologies or bitterness, yet warns of campaign work to marshal strength.
