ORdensburg manifested more interest in
Mr.. Hearst than Rochester even, where
his clothes were nea rly torn of his back, or
Buffalo. where 5000 listtned 10 him calmly.
There was present in Mr.. Hearst's reception
by the townsmen OF Ogdensburg every
element which Was con~spiCuously absent
In a number of other important cities he
has visited recently.
In the first place the crowd which roared
around the railway station war the biggest
that has greeted the candidates entrance
into anv city. 1t made all the noise that
could be expected from 500 or so. II fired
aannons. SGT of screeching sky rockets
and fipped Roman candles and hreballs
dexterously over the candidates. head.
II swarmed around Mr.. Hearst as he left
his car and buTeted, bumped and Jostled
MIN. II fell into line behind him and
marched through streets lit up all the way
with red fire and lined with hundreds OF
persons, who were at least interested and
demonstrative. It swept him into the
Municipal Opera House with a salute OF
cheers.
The attitude of"these people here threw
INTO strong relief the indifference, apathy
and unresponsiveness that it has been
Mr.. Hearst's fortune to meet. 1t was as
different. for instance, from the dismal
w~atertown crowd as day from night.
Mrs. George Hall, the wife Of the Demo-
cratic Independence League candidate for
Mayor. was caught in the grip Of the crowd,
banged about and slightly hurt She took
refuge in Mr.. Hearst's private car with the
wife OF the candidate.
sThds is the real thing" said Mr.. Hearst
as he got into his carriage with two OF the
local committee. Mr.. Hearst lodged the
crowd, which couldn't get into the opera
House, and shipped IN through the stage
entrance. What he saw when he went
on the stage sent his spirits up twenty de-
0rees. The house was full from floor TO
roof. Half a dozen sorely bufeted GODS
were backed up against the doors holding
back the crowd, which wanted to break IN.
There was real spirit and enthusiasm in this
audience il noi.e count for much.
d. b. Lucy, chairman of the Democratic
town committee, presented Mr.. Hearst with
q long speech, pr'ceded by. the usual state

Chairman Lucy sprung Mr.. Hearst's name
with good effect and ino1ioned the candidate
from the wings. Wh,m MIR. Hearst walked
10 the footlights the din commenced. In
the auditorium the MIN and women in the
audience Jumped to tn siE feet, waved small
Tags and cheered enth uR astlcally. IL was
a demonstration that mace Mr.. Hearst feel

wasn't much use in my &C ming 10 Ogdens-
burg, but l guess they were mistaken; 1t
looks like Ihave some fricI DIS here There
were cries Of You bet you have, Governor,
and more cheering. Part Of Mr.. Hearst's
speech follows:
My friends. 1 think theSe~are issues OF i'm,
