SPEECHES AT FONDA N OLovERsvIILE.
It was about 3 o'clock when Mr.. Hughes
and his party left Little Falls. A crowd OF
several hundred people were at the station
/ o Fonda. Mr.. Hughes spoke to them briefly
from the rear platform Of the train.
Congressman Lucius N. Littauer, Judge I
Jerry keck and County Judge William {.
Mills met the candidate at Fonda ~ the
reception committee from GloversvilIe.
Mr.; Hughes also had been joined at Little
Falls by ~Assemblyman Mills and Cyrus
Durey, Republican candidate for Congress
in the Twenty-ffth district.
A brass band and 4 crowd Of 500 people were
at the Gloversvi station when the train
pulled in. The streets were lined with the
workers In the glove factories and others
as the procession took up the march to the
Darling Opera House. Frequently Mr..
Hughes was oheered along the line Of march.
There were about 200 persons in the
opera house Congressman Littauer pre-
sided. The crowd, which contained almost
as large a percentage OF laboring men az
that. at Little Falls, responded warmly
10 the candidates thrusts at Hearst. In
this speech also AR. Hughes took up the
Hearst corporation tax evasion PROPOSE
ton.
IF you want to know what sort OF an
administration my opponent would give
you look at the methods by which he OBJ
tanned ONCE" said Mr.. Hughes.
We want American government, but we
don't want government by The New York
American" the candidate declared a mo-
ment later, and the crowd shouted it's APP
The Gloversvils people were tickled
when Mr.. Hughes described Hearst as
Tax Dodging Corporations" n also
when he asked the question whether this
great organization for the spreading Of
ment Of taxes tie city government which
protects IL. Mr.. Hughes attacked Hearst
again for refusing TO answer the question
as to whether the corporation which pub
fishes the Journal pays any taxes.
He has found time" said Mr.. Hughes,
for other things but no time to answer a
question which Is a test OF his sincerity"
Mr.. Hughes repeated to the Gloversville
crowd his beliefs In regard to labor problems
and reiterated his plea for sober jud9-
ment in dealing with all things as opposed
to reckless, indiscriminate abuse.
Mr.. Hughes and his party went from |
Gloversville to JohnstOwn by trolley. The
Johnstown meeting was held in the Grand
Opera House, which has q seating capacity |
Of about 1000. There was q good sized
crowd out, but they didn't warm up the
way the people at the previous labor meet
fngs had. Mr.. Hughes delivered practically
the same speech in Johnstown as he did
in Little Falls and Gloversyills. His speech
here tonight was along the same lines.
It was warmly received by about 1900
people.
John A. Cole, chairman Of the Fulton
county committee, gave IL az his opinion
tonight that Mr.. Hughes's visit to Glovers-
vile and Johnstown had made a lot Of labor
votes. He predicted, notwithsta nding
the Hearst boast that the factory towns
are with him, that Fulton county will give
Mr.. Hughes a bigger majority than it
rolled up for Higgins two years ago. The
Higgins hplres were 1000.
MI. Hughes left here at II 80 o'clock. He
will arrive In New York early tomorrow
morning.
