The Republican ce~mpaigners have leased
for two years at S.. 900 a year the whole
big building at II East Thirtieth street.
Last fall the rent paid to the Fifth Avenue
Hotel for ten small rooms was something
like $4,000. Economy, it was said, was the
only motive for moving the headquarters.
The present Republican campaign Is
described as the most uniquely Embossed
oampaign the Republicans have conducted
from the earliest days OF the organization
OF the party in the State. In fact, there Is

Hughes. are in quick communications with
Republican State headquarters in this city
and are working like Trojans in their baill-
wicks to bring about a tremendous ma
Jority for Hughes.
From time to time il has been reported
within the last ten days that there is apathy
among the Republican farmers and that
there are indications that some OF
these Republican farmers are talking
Hearst. While this may have been
true earlier. il was stated yesterday
by u~p-country Republicans who visited
State headquarters that Hearst will not
have even a look in" in the farming dis
tricts: that the farmers have not been 30
prosperous for a dozen years. and
that for the last year especially their pros
perity has been at its pinnaclA The up
State Republicans say that these farmers
desire no change and that on election day
they will make their views known in prac-
! teal shape at the ballot boxes.

spirits have been provided literally with
funds, and that there il "a good deal o.

As to Mr.. Hughes's reception upthe State
the audiences addressed by Mr.. Hughes
had never seen him before; in almost every
case they listened to him carefully in order
to see what stuff he il made OF, then at the
close of Mr.. Hughes's speeches they gave
him a right down cordial welcome. These
audiences, according to universal report
have been impressed by the earnestnes'
and sincerity Of Mr.. Hughes, and as one Re
publican put il last night at headquarters:
They seemed TO think that Mr.. Hughes
was no cheap politician appealing for votes
but rather a patriotic citizen appealing to al
citizens to look reasonably and carefully
upon the present situation and his speeches
have had great weight, especially with thu
higher class OF ~workingmen."
There is no hurrah over Mr.. Hughes
