| the sentiment that could be obtained, Steuper
| County will not give much more than a 5'oot
plurality for Mr. Hughes. which the Repub'
| lcans consider their normal figures.
Mr.. Hughes had got through shaking hands
when a delegation of one hundred men with
brass band arrived from the village or Avoce
They said that when Mr.. Hearst was in Bath
the same band came up, but the delegation OF
citizens consisted of seven men. The Avoca
delegation to-day was not disappointed. as Mr.
Hughes consented to greet each one personally.
Hammondsport also sent delegation with a
band, but It got IN on time
After luncheon at the Nichols House Mr..
Hughes was taken to the Little Casino, which
was jammed with eight hundred men at
o'clock. The streets were lined with men and
women The turnout astonished the managers,
because no midday meeting in Bath had ever
been successful before. So many people could
not get into the Casino that an overflow meet
ing of four hundred. as many as could get into
the quaint little courtroom, was held in the
courthouse Mr. Hughes spoke at both meet
lngs At the Casino he showed his sympathy
for the veterans.
LAS 1 honor the flag" he said, 80 I honor
those who fought in defence of the flag and
our nations most precious treasuresi the mem
ory of those deeds of patriotism which those
of us who young men and had no oppor-
tunity to share in will never permit this
That is more than Hearst said for u.s." cried

HEARST FORGOT THE VETERANS.
1t seems that the Independence League can
didate omitted to say anything about the vet
Grams IN his speech, although he visited the
Home Mr.. Hughes added when the applause
had died down:
have been ordered to the front in this cam
paign, and have responded to what 1 believe
to be a call of duty The Union must ever be
preserved (Applause) It is not a call to
upon intelligence. 1t is a demand for sober
consideration OF public questions
Mr.. Hughes also said:
The most pleasant work Of this campaign. or
l should say the most pleasant experience of
this campaign, is meeting face to face the voters
of the communities which I visit, and nothing
that has taken place has given more pleas
ure than the reception that held in the
Courthouse this morning. 1t is the touch OF
human sympathy that makes life worth living
and a friendly grasp of the hand is the best
inspiration. l was particularly glad to have an
opportunity OF meeting so many veterans Ny
childhood was filled with stories of the courage
and fidelity Of those who fought in the great
historic struggle to preserve the Union.
The issue in this campaign is simply whether
the good sense of the people of this state shall
triumph. 1t is a shame to find an effort an
affcrt organized, an effort which some think may
be possibly conducted successfully to make the
people OF this country think that all business
life is base, that all those who are in control of
great enterprises are plunderers and bandits;
life. l tell you, 1t is false.
American business is bottomed upon integrity.
The American boy comes from the various COM
nUntles OF this state and other states, fired
With zeal and with ambition because of the
great opportunity he has to make the most OF
himself. He learns in his school and he learns
m his home and he learns by the example OF
those who before him that in this country
industry and integrity and perseverance are re-
Narded, and our American boys. as they grow
Up 10 be American men, do not forget the lessons
and the ideals of their youth.
Job Hedges made a speech that strongly ap-
pealed to the audience OF Hearst he said:
He tells us he does not believe in political
and then he buys one. He says
ne does not believe in Charles F. Murphy, and
then takes MIN to his heart, I've been looking
the young mans record up. Out in California
he is opposing the labor candidate for Governor
It's funny thing he's so stuck on labor here
and wants to stick the knife into labor out
West

many of the veterans there. He was escorted
to his special car by the enthusiastic populace |
