New York, Oct. 13-The corresponds
ent Of the New Work Evening Post,
which is independent In politics. who
was with Hearst In his first upstate
tour. Is now with Mr.. Hughes, who Is
stumping the interior. In his reports
he has undertaken, in addition to stat
ing present conditions, to analyze the
efforts Of the two candidates for gov
ernor and the effects produced. They
are the best index e'f the probable OUT
come Of the campaign yet furnished
and are interesting as pen pictures OF
the two men and their methods.
Writing from Cailadaigua, the cor
respondent says: "A frost from the
people and blizzard from the wealth.
er bureau-such have been the char
acteristics Of the first two upstate
whirlwind tours. Mr.. Hearst had his
frost last week, Mr.. Hughes his biz
gard this week and both were real.
But, apart from the passing details
OF the two tours, certain definite facts
now begin to appear. The reception OF
Mr.. Hearst and that of Mr.. Hughes
in the country districts carry its own
significance. The plain fact is that tho
country is awake. is aroused, Is de-
termined. And 1t requires only one
day such as this. when snowdrifts are
high enough to daunt the boldest par
tisan, to show that the public uprising
is unfavorable to Hearst
Party Lines Have Vanished.
Here in Ontario county, as 1t was
found to be q few days ago in Wayne,
party lines have vanished and men
are merely Hearst and anti-Hearst.
From the point OF view Of New York
city 1t is significant. At one little
place along the ros.d today a farmer
was pointed out who had trudged ten
miles thru the snow to look at the first
republican candidate he ever decided to
vote for. In every delegation that has
met Mr.. Hughes in the country since
the start the number of democrats
was more significant than the presence
OF the republicans. In Geneva yes
terdaY q former democratic mayor
made his personal promise OF supports
ing him. Back in q little country town
behind Canadaigua no less than twen-
ty-four democrats gathered In coun-
try. store to form a Hughes club last
night and they were democrats Of
standing in their little town.
This is republican balliwick-re-
publican always in season and out.
The fact that delegations, bands and
crowds Of republicans greeted Mr..
Hughes here with the usual red fire and
bass drum details is; insignificant. The
real Significance lies here, as in Ge-
neva, in Lyons, in all the country
towns. in the number,of democrats who
pressed thru the lines Of republicans TO
announce that Mr. Hughes was their
candidate also. 1t Is mt a mere sc !
cidental occurrence; 1t Is not peculiar
circumstance of single locality. The
truth is that the upstate country
democrats are in arms against Hearst,
that neither party utilization nor Esa-
long devotion to democratic principles
has any OBTAINING influence. Tie rural
democrats have not decided to vote for
q republican,; rather they have ieter-
mined to vote against spurious DEM
ocrat.
"At Fonda and at Livenla last week
the silence and the chill Of tn, crowd
that greeted Hearst lacked any ade-
quate explanation. This explanation
is forthcoming now. The frost was
not the mere imagination of the cor
respondents contesting for Ananias
cup honors; 1t was the ex3c,ssion Of
public sentiment In rural New York.
