Attorney General Mayer was the next speaker
He said that he was fortunate in running against
a ticket headed by a who was undecided
concerning the platform on which he was run
ming, and who arrogated to himself the virtue OF
the Ten Commandments and the patriotism OF
the Declaration OF Independence. He added that
Mr.. Hearst even with the virtues he assumed.
had omitted TO study the commandment con-
corning the prohibition of bearing false wit
ness. Then he read an excerpt from Mr..
Hearst's evening paper to prove the truth of his
assertion. Mr.. Hearst-or perhaps Mr.. Brisbane
declared that Mr.. Hughes had accepted the
peoples retainer" to investigate the Gas Trust
and gone 10 Europe.
MR. MAYER NAILS A ROORBACK.
Mr.. Mayer effectualy nailed this roorback by
telling how Mr.. Hughes had not touched a single
dollar for his work. and had sacrificed time and
business to his labor for the interests of the
state.
Mr.. Mayors address follows:
We are opposed in this campaign by, a man who,
unable TO determine precisely upon what platform

brilliant argument which, Notwithstanding the as

one thing which resulted in the keeping or the "

rate IS preserved, pending this litigation; ana this
man has neither asked nor received one dollar OF
the states money for that service TO the state.
Mr. Hedges followed his old classmate, the At
torney General. Mr.. Parsons's introduction was
brief and 10 the point.

Mr.. HEDGES'S. SPEECH.
Mr. Hedges said, among other things:
Mr. Hearst does not fool man IN the state
OF New York; he fools himself nave

Let us DO this thing thoroughly now that we
us win by enough show Mr.. Hughes that we
