SCORES HEARsTs PLATFORM.
Hughes Opposes Placing Yellow Jour
nalism in Seat of Government.

DANVILLE, n. Y. Oct. 2s.-Charles
E. Hughes began the last week of his
campaign this afternoon. In his speech
in the opera-house this afternoon he
said;
We have at times been perplexed to
know the platform upon which my op-
ponent stood, whether ii was the plat
form of the independence League or
the platform adopted at the Buffalo
convention He has said. 1 believe,
that he stands on his own platform
and in that I think he is right, and he
cannot get away from it. The platform
upon which he must necessarily stand
is the platform of the journals which
have espoused his candidacy and which
are in his entire control. 1t is a plat
form of reckless abuse; it is a platform
Of assault upon our best men and upon
our institutions; il is platform of vi
tuperation; it is a platform upon which
we find indiscriminately 1eveled at
those who have been honored by the
less, the most abusive, the most dis
graceful epithets which have ever dis
graced any part of our press.
We are today standing in a contest
for a decent government because we
believe in just this responsible criti-
and Democrats, in this campaign be-
cause we believe in the American idea
of fairness and even handed justice.
The ambition of my opponent is not
at Albany, but to make that a stepping
stone for further advance to the seat
of Federal Government at Washington.
The question in this country today is
whether exaggerated statements and
appeals to class feeling and to bitter
the people and place yellow journalism
in the seat of government.

hbSCONDER'S WIFE
HIS DEFENDER.

Mrs. Charles W. Dakin, wife of the
absconding cashier OF the Long Syrup
Refining Company. yesterday denied
the reports that the peculations of her
husband would reach $4,000. When
seen at her home, 71s Castro street,
she said that she had just returned
from the Offices of the company and
that there was no warrant for the re-
ports concerning the amount named
The company admits that ii has
given no authority for this statement .
she said Further than this I have
been advised not to talk"
Mrs. Dakin intimated that the al
legged shortages in her husbands ac-
counts might prove to be mistakes in
bookkeeping when the experts employ
ed by the company have finished their
work of auditing. She also denied the
reports that her husband had recently
failed TO provide for herself and their
two adult children.
Dakin entered the service of the COM
pany as clerk, and advanced rapidly in
the confidence of the officers of the
company. He had many friends, and it
is said that he enjoyed something of a
reputation as a bon vivant. Experts
were put 10 work on his books at night
unknown TO him, but he finally got an
inkling of the fact and disappeared
last Friday.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2s.-Hughes will
carry New York by safe plurality.
The situation from Republican view
point has greatly improved during the
last few days. The percentage of
workingmen who are for Hearst is
growing less every day. many of them
being convinced that they have been
duped by the Democratic candidate,
and they will not vote for him.
This in substance is the report that
Postmaster General Cortelyou, the
emissary of President Roosevelt, made
to his chief today after several days
investigation of the political situation
in the Empire State. The President is
greatly elated over this report, espe-
cially as he is largely responsible for
the nomination of Hughes and has
through Marcus Braun Endorsed the
candidacy of the Republican guberna-
torial candidate.
Secretary Root, as the spokesman Of
President Roosevelt, with all the infiu-
ence of the national administration be-
hind him, will speak in favor of the
election of Charles E. Hughes as Gov
ernor Of New York when he delivers his
address at Utica Thursday night. Presi-
dent Roosevelt desires to warn the Re
publican voters of New York against
the dangers of apathy and it is the
strong belief of those who are in close
touch with the situation that the only
thing that will bring defeat to the Re-
publicans is over-c confidence. The Presi-
dent and the Postmaster General are
convinced that the Republican candi-
date will triumph, but this will not be
accomplished without a strong battle
and the casting of every Republican
vote.
President Roosevelt had long con-
ference with Postmaster General Cor
telyou and Secretary Root regarding
the political situation. 1t lasted nearly
three hours and during that time every
phase of the situation was canvassed.
II is admitted by the administration
officials that Hearst will poll a large
vote in New York City and Brooklyn.
but they find comfort in the fact that
the labor element has during the last
few days learned that they have been
duped by Hearst and will vote against

HEARST ALLEGES FRAUD.
ttters Public Protest Against Action of
New York Election Board.

AUBURN, N. Y, Oct 29-William r..
Hearst, in his speeches at both Svra.
cuse and Auburn today, devoted much
OF his attention to an attack upon the
New York Election Board and of the
effects of the decision of the appellate
division on the Independence League
nominating petitions, If that decision
should be sustained by the Court of
Appeals. He said, in part:
AS election day approaches it he
comes evident that we will have to
meet this year all over the State of
New York the same corrupt opposition
and the same criminal election meth
ods that we had to meet last year in
New York City.
Certain great and powerful trusts
and corporations which secured their
great wealth through governmental IA
voritism and political protection are
determined to preserve their special
privileges and TO maintain their public
political pull We should realize what
happened and what will happen. and
we should prepare to meet it. Against
liberty and corruption we must oppose
honesty and public and patriotic duty.
l have just come from Greater New
York, and there the fight against US
has already been begun The same old
Election Board that last year helped
Mcclellan steal the Mayors office is
Board which helped Mcclellan to fight
against an honest count of ballots ac-
tuaIly in the boxes which within the
last two months has gone into court
and asked to have the ballots destroyed
in order that there may never be an
honest count of the peoples votes, is
now at this moment prosecuting an
appeal in the hope of somehow be-
ing able to destroy the ballots wherein
lies the proof of their own guilt and
the guilt of their appointees, the cleo
tion officials.
This corrupt board has begun to ex-
ercise power still further in favor of
corrupt interests that control and hope
to continue to control our government
When the petitions of the people
We're filed with this board they were
allowed to be marked and mutilated
and in some cases destroyed Scores
of them were thrown out altogether.
and the action of this corrupt board
was sustained. / regret to say by the
Appellate Division of the Supreme
Court.
I assert publicly that this board is
corrupt | assert publicly that one
member of this board has been under
indictment seventeen times. | have
moved today to fndict this Election
Board, and / have retained Governor
Hill and others of the ablest lawyers
throughout this State to appear before
the Court of Appeals and reverse if
possible the action of this corrupt
Election Board.

Quotes "Sermon On Mount. I'm Speech
to New York Voters.


NEW YORK, Oct. 29-"Uncle Joe"
Cannon, Speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives, who did not allude to Will
liam R Hearst in his speech in this
city, made up for the omission in an
address he delivered at Batavia In
that speech Cannon took up w. Bourke
Cockran's ALTERATION. "Rottenness and
Riot" and analyzed It. He also quoted
from the Sermon on the Mount and
dared any of his hearers, if they would
vote according to their judgment to go
to the polls and cast their ballot for
Hearst The following are paragraphs
from Speaker Cannon's address:
They held a convention. which they
called a Democratic convention, at
man ought to wear stripes was nomi-
mated by the influence of the man who.
he said. ought to wear stripes. At that
convention Representative Cochran
HsaTs+ MADE speech a Mhsr Keferring to Mr.
me to choose between rottenness and
riot 1 choose riot"
Now let US analyze that. Is it true
State is rotten? Of course you have
men who violate the law, men who do
unwise and unlawful things, but look
ing into your faces / thank God that
can say If there be rottenness with this
population your faces do not show It.
Then there is William r. aearst with
his f1ve six, seven papers-God knows
how many-from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. He is fond of saying that he
fights the battles of the toilers."
Well. we are all toilers, except here
and there a drone, and when the drone
violates the law we punish him. In
the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat
bread all the days of thy llIe.n
Now If you recollect these things, my
laboring friends, / dare you, as you
shall answer at the last day; or you,
my capitalist friend that may call
yourself a Democrat; or you. my dis
contented Republican friend-I dare
you, as you shall answer at the last
day. to vote for William r. Hearst as
against Charles E. Hughes as Governor
of this great State.

COLONIAL PLAYERS
IN ROARING FARCE
"My Friend From India I"
Gets Very Fair Treatment
for irst-Night Production
Bx James Crawford.

my Friend From India" kept the
Colonial Theater audience last evening
in an alienation of chuckles and guI-
faws, despite the st-performance mem
ory lapses and proneness to gag tnat
evidently afflicted some of the players
The farce is so strongly fortified by
.ludicrous situations that so long as
the plot is not taken liberties with the
authors text can undergo quite oll OF
abuse without conveying damage TO
the general structure.
AS the barber, Mr.. Bacon was the
central figure IN the fun making. and
the only scene in which he participated
that failed to come up to expectation
was the mirror incident in the second
act The looking glass was placed so
as to face the audience, instead OF side
ways, as in the original production,
and the actors movements were not
always in unison with those they We're
intended to reflect. To remedy that
shortcoming, however, rehearsal only
is needed and doubtless will be given.
Mr.. Humphreys personation of the
parson was one of the best comedy
character bits ever played here by that
young man. and it did much to illumin-
ate the performance. Mr.. Rogers again
appeared as chap with an alcoholic
headache and penitent resolves-almost
a counterpart of the fellow he person
at IN LOST, L Wcl1ly OuI I1OdA ,. -AA
Wesner's old-man work was excellent.
and Mr. Pollard seemed to be over
loaded in Juvenile part.
The femininity of the play is typi-
cally Du Souchet, having little oppor-
tunity TO glitter. except sartorially.
Miss Jewel acted sweetly and wore a
dream of a hat: Miss Mcclure was very
girly; Miss Farley. new in the coterie,
overacted; Miss Jefery made the most
of a faddish matron. and Miss Bacon, as
a German domestic. did not make as
much of the part as could have been
brought out of it.
