OswEGo, N. Y. Oct. Ie.-WIliam r.
Hearst made two speeches in Oswego
county this afternoon and tonight, two at
Fulton and one in this city.
He addressed a crowd OF about 100 in
the public square at Fulton at noon to-day,
and in the evening he spoke to perhaps
1000 in the Fulton Opera House. Mr.. Hearst
then hired a special locomotive. which
hauled him from Fulton to this city, twelve
miles, in eleven minutes.
His reception here tonight in the Rich
ardson Theatre was sufficiently warm to
please the candidate. The theatres ca
pacity is about 1900. 1t was completely
filled and policemen az the doors barred
out perhaps 1000 more men and women
that wished to see and near him.
The Fulton meetings were arranged on
short notice. the Hearst people in that town
having been informed of the candidates.
coming only about three hours before he
got there. There is no Independence League
organization in Fulton and the meetings
were held under the auspices of the Oswego

A reception committee comprised Of
DR.. c. j. Bacon, Mayor A. NJ. Foster, Daniel
Brennan \and Giles Piper escorted MIR.
Hearst to the public square, where a stand
had been rugged up hastily. On his way
through the streets Of Fulton few persons
cheered Mr.. Hearst. The big plant Of
the Fulton Worsted Mills, where 500 voter 5
are employed, was along Ii line Of the
candidates. progress. The reception COM
mittee had sent word TO the mill that Mr..
Hearst would pass that way, but when he
rode by there was nothing doing in the
way of a demonstration The woollen
mill hands apparently were not interested
but If Roosevelt had passed by, said the
superintendent Of the mills later, There
would have been a racket one could have
heard from here TO Syracuse"
Thee crowd in the square applauded
wildly when Mr.. Hearst climbed upon the
~latform. Then X settled back to an inert
ness which was varied by few cheers.
Mr.. Hearst repeated his old speech on
the corporations. attacking Mr.. Hughes
as a corporation lawyer. He talked for
half an hour and gave way to Clarence j.
Shearn.
At s O'Clock Mr.. Hearst spoke in the
Fulton Opera House, giving his audience a
new speech. Giles Piper presided. Mr..
Hearst was literally applauded, particu-
larry when he told his audience that he
had given more than $40, 900 TO the young
woman who was injured by an EUening
journal delivery wagon and that it was not
fair Of Mr.. Hughes to suppress this fact.
1t was expected that Mr.. Hearst would
make reply 10 Mr.. Hughes's declaration
hat the Hearst newspaper corporations
were a handy tax lodging scheme, but Mr..
Hearst had nothing TO say on that point.
As soon as Mr.. Hearst quit talking he
jumped into a carriage and hustled to his
special train. 1t pulled out immediately
and landed the candidate in this city at
about o O'Clock. A fair sized crowd at the
Lackawanna depot played with red fire.
made a noise and trooped after Mr.. Hearst
to the Richardson Theatre.
The house was filled an hour before Mr..
Hearst got there. Charles n. BuIgeI, an
old time Democr attic leader here, candidate
for Li~eutenant-G Governor when Bird s.
ColeI ian, presided. MI. Bulger succeeded
last night in disTupting and disintegI ating
the Independence League Organization in
his city. IL died Il peaceful death and the
! regular Democracy Is running the cam
, paign in his county.
In his speech here and at the second meet
ing in Fulton, MI. Hearst said:
My friends. while Mr.. Hughes says he
does not stand for any specific measure,
ne must admit that some MAGNIFICENT issues
have been injected into this campaign by him
self and his associates.
The opening gun was fired by job Hedges
in the Republican convention, where he de-
ciared hat l was travelling around the Coun-
try in a private car with a bath, and that conse-
quently NO self-respecting citizen could vote
for me.
When earnest citizens are deeply interested
in reforms in government it must be discour-
aging to them to see the campaign centre
around Mr.. Hedges's prejudice against baths.
Another burning issue Is the statement by a
hostile newspaper that l wear collars made in
Paris, and while this il not true, it is hardly as
serious an issue as II ! wore a corporation
collar made in Wall street.
Mr.. Hughes is now dragging the headlines
OF my newspapers into the cyclone centre Of
the campaign, and all the time the CORPORATION
candidates are avoiding any reference to the
important issues about which people are
seriously thinking. 1t has become evident Of
late years to all thoughtful citizens that the
trusts and monopolies and great corporations
have not only secured control of the business
of the country. but of the government of the
country, and that they conduct the govern
ment to promote their private interests, and
without regard for the welfare of the people.
MIR. Hughes says he Is not a corporation
