rn opportunity for an actual comparison
between the receptions which Hearst has
been receiving in the upstate districts
and those accorded the Republican candi-
date.
Mr.. Hughes appeared in the course OF
,he dav AZ two cities in which Mr.. Hearst
has spoken within the last week, Water
town. in jefferson, and this place, in st.
Lawrence county AT WATERFOWL Mi.
Hughes addressed in the middle OF the
afternoon a gathering of 5000 people and
Tonight he spoke in the town hall here
before a crowd which took up every avail
able inch of space.
.Ihe day was the most inspiring in many
respects that the candidate has had since
he started the campaign. His trip from
the Mohawk to the st. Lawrence was an
almost continuous round OF applause.
Hundreds crowded the platform on every
little station along the Rome, Watertown
and Ordensburg road and insisted on see
ing the candidate whether he was scheduled
for IA speech or not.
AZ one place they crowded around the car
with lighted lanterns after dark and shouted
until Mr.. Hughes came out and put himself
on view. Az almost every stop too, there
was a good sprinkling OF factory workers
In the crowd, and in one or two instances
the men who are supposed to he andlng
for Hearst turned out in such umoers as
10 make only one conclusion
and that is that they are for Hughes.
II remains for this city, though, to top
of a banner day with a royal reception
tonight. Mr.. Hughes arrived in town at
4 O'clock. There was a great throng at
the station to greet him and they cheered
themselves hoarse. Mr.. Hughes jumped
into an auto with Senator Malby and the
march to the Town Hall was started be-
hind two brass bands and a fife and drum
CORPS. The streets we're lined with people
on both sides for more than a quarter Of a
mile and MIR. Hughes was kept busy sc-
knowledging the greetings all the way to
the hall.
The ground floor Of the big auditorium
was reserved for voters, the first gallery
was HlIed with women and the second.
which ran up TO the ceiling, also wa packed
with men. The long, wide hallway leading
10 the auditorium was choked with enthusi-
asts and hundreds stood in the street in
front OF the building. 1t was estimated
that $500 were crowded into the hall.
Senator George r. Malby presided. Mr..
Hughes was greeted with a roa Of cheers
when he started out. His speech was a
repetition Of what he has said before in the
campaign. 1t was a plea for clean Govern
ment at Albany and for the exercise Of calm,
unbiased Judgment in treating the abuses
Of politica and industrial life rather than
iindIscrminaue censure. He was inter-
rupted frequently by applause in the course
Of hfe speech. and at the close OF the meeting
hundreds gathered 0 him to shake
hands.
Mr.. Hughes in his trip to-day traversed
the. central part of the State from the south
10 the northern tier of counties, speaking
in Otsego, C~henango, Madison, Oneida
Lewis. Jefferson, andS st. Law
The candidate and his party left Oneonta
where they attended a mass meeting last
night. at $50 O'Clock in the morning over
the Delaware and Hudson Railroad. just
before Mr.. Hughes boarded his car one
of the most Interesting incidents OF the
day occurred. Three blue leaned Della
ware and Hudson engineers, their faces
and hands black with SCOT and oil, APP

This simple declaration was all they had
TO saw. MIR. hughes took each OF then
by the hand and thanked them for theiI
aSsuranCe.
The candidate was hardly seated at the
breakfast table In the car when a chorus
of cheers him to the rear plat
