LowvILLE, N. Y, Oct. 1.-THE Citizens
candidate for Lieutenant Governor, Fran els
Burton Harrison, has made speeches In
Carthage and Lowville tonight, besides
making q personal vote getting visit 20
the st. Regis and jefferson paper mills
near Watertown. Mr.. Harrison has not
had day Of great crowds and bewildering
tumults, such as he found In Watertown
on Saturday, but the hottest supporters
of the Republican national ticket admit
to Mr., Harrison and these who accompany
him that they expect Mr.. Odells State
ticket to fall from 600 to 800 votes be-
hind in jefferson county and from 400 to
500 behind In Lewis county.
Mr. Harrison is effective in the sort OF
campaigning which comes hardest TO most
campaigners. that of impressing his per-
sonality. his common sense, quick under
standing and squareness on large numbers
Of individuals by meeting them face to
face. talking with them half a minute or so
and shaking hands. 1t was Of this sort
that his campaigning in the paper mills was
this morning. The st. Regis mill is man
aged by Morris Griffin, son OF d. G. Griffin,
who WAS the Palmer and Buckner candi-
date for Governor of this State In 1895.
The issue of Odellsm has brought Mr..
Griffin back into the party Of his former
allegiance. He went through the mill
with Congressman Harrison.
Mr. Harrison assured the hundred or
mora u-ork man that ubila ha would ha
glad of their votes, he did not want them
to feel that a candidate who came along
with the boss was for that reason trying
to bulldoze them He wanted no vote I'M
less the man who cast it believed in the
righteousness Of the Democratic cause and
the fitness of its candidates The men
seemed to like being approached in this
frank fashion, and many OF them assured
Mr., Harrison that were not only going to
vote for the Herrick and Harrison tickets
themselves, but that they were also going
to see to it that many of their neighbors
voted the same way.
From the mills Mr.. Harrison drove to
Carthage, where two hours notice had been
circulated Of his coming. There was a
half hour reception at the Elmhurst Hotel,
to which about all Of the handful of Demo-
Gratis there are in the town came. Super
visor Charles Norris, with Mr.. Harrison
and John w. Carlisle. mounted platform
built on a wagon near the hotel The Car
thage band made music in great volume
and several hundred citizens gathered.
Mr. Norris introduced MIR. Harrison, who
spoke especially to the workingmen. He
told them, amid their manifest approval,
that he did not believe they were taken
in by the Republican contention that the
American workingman was prosperous
only through and by the Republican party.
Because Of hs high n ts
gence and his industry. These, and the
rewards they bring him, come out of no
party but out of himself. He is well of,
but not 30 well Off as he would be If the party
of high prices and special privileges did not
take from him an undue portion OF his
| earnings"
Mr.. Carlisle made a little speech and then
there was another reception on the hotel
porch. This time many Repu blicans came
