SYRAcUsE. Oct. %. William r. Hearst
made a speech in Alhambra Rink. here
tonight before 1000 or more people, the
sort Of speech that drew yells from the
crowd and evoked a storm OF cheers and
h~andclapping after every period. He
called the editor Of the Syracuse Herald
"a material darned fool described Charles
T.. Hughes A. ian animated feather duster."
took 2 shot, at McCerren and dubbed the
Brooklyn Senator a "earrion crow, y shouted
that tho Board of Elections in New York
city was corrupt and fraudulent and that
thers haze been seveateen different in
dictmeats against Col. Michael Dady for
seventeen OF ences. and wound zap by in
sis,in; that the New YORK Word had lied
about him constantly and inconsistency.
Mr.. Hearst got To this city at 3 o'clock
in his private car Ranger. with Mrs.
Hearst and the reporters that have been
jumping over the State with him. He was
met a, the depot nv former Mayor James
r.. Mcclure, who practically ran to-night's
demonstration and did his best to emulate
thu achiov emcnt Of the Hon. Packy McCabe
A few nights ago in Albany. The face Of
the Hon. Jim Mcclure wore a smile that
was a full brother az Paoky McCabe's
after the Albany hurrah
Perhaps 400 persons were at the railroad
station when Mr.. Hearst got there. They
didn't make much noise. but we're plainly
Curiou 10 see h the man looked like.
When he drove 10 the rink where D-Cady
Herrick addressed a milder meeting in the
last Gubernatorial campaign. there we're
fewer people on the streets than might have
been expected.
The rink, a great bare barn OF a place,
was iammed to the limit and people were
falling over one another to get a foothold
in the aisles or on the crowded stage. Mr..
Hearst went through the crowd to the
accompaniment OF wild yells. Half tho
audience hao been supplied with little
flags, ana the interior Of the rink looked
like a Madison Square Garden show on a
small scale. There was no question that
this audience was very sympathetic and
very friendly, although inclined for the
first half hour to be unpleasantly noisy
and disorderly.
Frederick W. Thomson, who presided.
got to Mr.. Hearst's name after using the
names OF Mr.. Folk Of Missouri, Sentaor
La Toilette Of Wisconsin n President
Roosevelt a. stepping stones to that emil
nence. As he sprung the name william
Randolph Hearst, the next Governor OF
the State of New York, he whirled around
and grabbed Mr.. Hearst by the coat sleeve.
Plainly Mr.. Hearst didn't want to be literally
jerked before his audience, so he hung
back a little. When he walked to the foot
lights anu started talking he was nailed
by a deep roar.
Mr.. Hearst had a copy OF the Syracuse
Herald ia his hand and what he had read
on the first page Of that paper has not
enhanced his ~amiability. He was mad
clear through and through and he opened
his speech by roasting the editor Of the
Herald. This newspaper, under the head
ing Questions Mr.. Hearst Should Answer"
asked him why he had organized his news
papnr properties into a trust and incor-
porated them under the laws OF New Jersey;
why he permitted Murphy to name eight
Judges on the fusion ticket; why the nomi-
mating petitions of labor candidates for
Congress, Senate and Assembly were so
defective that they we're thrown out, and
other things that evidently made the candi-
date sore.
Mr.. Hearst said the editor Of the SYRIA
cuse Herald was a material darned fool
for asking such questions. MFR. Hearst
liked the phrase material darned fool" and
reverted TO it constantly in discussing the
editor. He said his newspapers were any
,htnr k,t . N,Naf haranaA for nna nQnf hQ
gave the people twice as much as they
were getting before. As FOR the Judgeship
nominations, he declared hat he had done
the best he could to secure nom partisan
nominations and instanced the indOrse-
ment Of Judge Rosalsky. a Republican.
He said he would like to know, too. why the
nominating petitions were thrown out
and that he purpoeed to find out.
At that moment a voice from the gallery
broke in with We know you will. Hearst. "
and another voice ripped out. Who the
hell are you?'
A bunch Of Syracuse University under
graduates seized that moment to make a
demonstration in the back Of the rink and
they gave A long and very tiresome yell
ending with -HearstI Hearstl Hearstl
Hearsti' A small boy, who a interested
III Jue pEOScculu ", NuthCu SC"@AN ~
lege boys and chirped out disgustedly:
Put that on ice."
Mr.. Hearst apparently didn't relish these
Interruptions. He was trying TO save his
voice. which was in wretched shape and
worn to a ragged edge. As he went on
and warmed up, however, the audience got
quieter and there was excellent order by
the time he got to the middle Of bis speech
Then Mr.. Hearst attacked the New York
Board OF Elections, saying they were a
corrupt bunch and naming Col. Dady per-
sonally. He got . big laugh when he
shouted that McCarren no more deserves
the title Of Democrat tina q carrion crow
deserves the title OF American eagle
Eventually he got around TO Mr.. Hughes
and referred to his opponent in this way:
When that animated feather duster
who is parading around the State attacks
my sincerity / wan TO say that the best
proof Of my sincerity In opposing the trusts
is the sincerity Of the trusts opposition
TO me- Laughter and applause.l
Mr.. Hearst finished his speech here with
the prediction that he would win by $50, OOC
II he got IN honest count. He was wildly
