SENECA FALLS. Oct. I2.-Charlss E.
HuRhes addressed two mass meetings te-
day, one at Penn Yam. Yates county and
another In this city, Seneca county, to-
night. In both places the candidate was
crested by big crowds, with lots Of en-
thusiasm. "A was the case in Ontario
county yesterday, Democrats continued
10 vie with Republicans at almost every
station where the tr&in stopped in assuring
Mr.. Hughes of their best Wishes n active
support.
Mr.. Hughes and his party started out
from Canandaigua, Ontario county, at 8
o'clock this morning for Penn Yam. The
candidate and his followers had travelled
over the New York Central in as pecial car,
but the trip from Canandaigua was over
another road, and the party abandoned the
car for an accommodation train. Mr.. Hughes
dropped into a seat in the smoker and soon
engaged in conversation with a group OF
| countrymen. One or two OF the group
| dropped OF at each way station, and each
as he left grasped the candidates hand and
pledged his support in the campaign.
Il was a little after 0 O'Clock when the train
bearing Mr.. Hughes and his party pulled
into Penn Yam. That wasn't any too early
for q town which has the reputation in
these parts OF talking politics before break
fast and keeping il up until bedtime. There
were three or four hundred people at the
station and a brass band. A big shout
went up ar Mr.. Hughes appeared, followed
by two or three Of his admirers in the smok-
ing car. who had decided after their talk
with him to let the farm take care OF itself
for the day and 60 along TO the rally at
Penn Yam.
The town reception committee had its
turn with the candidate. then the band
struck up and the march was started toward
the heart Of the town, the brass band
leading the way. II was about a.Nquarter
Of a mile walk TO the hotel and along the
line Mr.. Hughes was cheered frequently.
At the hotel The candidate held a reception.
The workers from the great VI Vineyards that
cover the shores Of Reuka Lake left the
harvest 10 come down the can
didate's hand, and employees from the big
wineries also joined in extending a rouslng
reception.
Mr. Hughes had not been shaking hands
more than Ave minutes when he dlsooV-
I cred that there were just as many Demo-
Gratis proportionately in Penn Ian Eno
York cities which he has visited. He was
told that Hearst Democrats we're as a matter
Of fact getting scarcer than hens teeth
in the town and what Democratic State
Committeeman Colvin j. Huson. who lives
in Penn Yam, had 70 say tended TO confirm
that statement Mr.. Huson was asked
whether he was going to attend the Hughes
meeting. -,

The mass meeting was scheduled for l
O'Clock, but before that Mr.. Hughes o a
drive out among the vineyards on the shore
Of the lake. job Hedges and another party
went on a tour Of investigation IN more
interesting quarters. They visited the
wineries. Mr.. Hedges told the Penn yam
people from the platform later that he had
been studying their indust ries and had
found this a generous community.
The opera house was packed when the
meeting was called TO order. Mr.. Hughes
was cheered roundly. He said in part:
MR. HUoHEs's En- A SPEECH.
ct IL a revelation to me to find it possible
70 hold a meeting Of this sort at Penn Yam
in the middle Of the day. and in grape time
az that. Il shows TO ne that you have the
same feeling here that l have seen evidenced
in the other towns of the State that 1t has
: been my pleasure TO visit. There is a lively
feeling this fall. The people Of the State
ave something on their minds, and | am
convinced that the story will be told fully
to the satisfaction Of all on election day.
~Iftakepnde in standing as a candidate Of
the Republican party lapplausel, but / hold
il especially to be the duty OF a Republican
to see ID it that his party serves the public.
There would be nothing attractive to me
in a mere partisan nomination. There
would be nothing attractive TO me in q mere
party success. There is not only attraction
but compusion in the demand that we shall
represent the cause of decent government.
There 10 nothing so gratifying to an
American as to feel sure OF the moral sense
OF the American people. That is where the
United States inds its real strength. intelli-
gent interest in public AFFAIRS and con-
science. There never has been a moral crisis in
the United States when you could not count
upon the American people. Applause
There never has been an issue framed in the
United States where the question was OF
right and fairness but what you could
count upon the American people.
we have a new issue presented 20 US
now. We have a new species o. propa-
gan da. For many years IL has been the
enor r-ugh recklessness OF ,utterance
through improper appeals, through attempts
TO confuse the public judgment, 70 create
an army Of discomfort TO march upon the
citadel Of government. That is not Ameri-
can. That, in my judgment would not sue
coed; but il is a new issue, and the question
will be presented or election day whether
the people really understand the importance

Can despotism triumph in the name Of
