Both William r. Hearst and Charles K.
Hughes experienced bad weather on their
campaigning tours today. Snow fell last
night and turned to seety rain in the up
state counties today. Both candidates had
busy days mapped out for them, Mr.
Hearst being scheduled to speak at
Seneca Falls, Waterloo, Geneva and
Canandaigua during the day and to make
four addresses tonight in Rochester. Mr..
Hughes first address Of the day was at
Batavia where he told a large audience
in the opera house that his one ambition
in running for the governorship was to
give the people Of the state a square deal.
He closed this address with a plea that
the people should do nothing to upset the
prosperity which the state and nation are
enjoying.
Mr.. Hearsts voice shows signs u fail
ing and today he was obliged TO make ali
his speeches very short.
