TO Dairyland Sullivan county is firm set
Tor Hughes. But along the Pennsylvania
border-Calliooon, ~Nsrrowsburg. Cocbec-
ton, Long Eddy, Falls Mills--there is a
streak of Hearstism. The residents in the
last named towns are largely German and
those who are Democrats arc not turning
against Hearst. For the county as a whole.
in spite of this, the majority for Hughes
is expected to be nearly as strong as Roose-
velt's; and Hearts, Independence League

the best known of them:
I. F. Bush of Liberty, its County J nd &c,
one of the oldest and most respected menu
bers of the bar, a lifelong Democrat; eX-

acknowledge they are turning to it,

thought, barely squeeze through. II he
goes back to the Senate il will be by the
small margin which Chenango co IntV fur
