Tor Hc2rNt -tepuDuChu DcaOo~Sh'
Oct. 27.-These influential
Democratic citizens OF Cortland county
have announced themselves as opposed to
Hearst and all his works:
f.. b. Hakes, real estate; who voted Tor
BRYAN, but balks at Hearst; Edwin Dufeyi
three times District Attorney, who relucc-
antly voted for Bryan but fears Hearst
as a yellow peril; b. F. Taylor, formerly
president Of the water works, n once
candidate for Mayor; j. p. Gray, assistant
superintendent OF the water works, once
a candidate for State Treasurer; Hugh
Dufey, manufacturer; w. j. Greenman,
secretary OF the State Fair Association,
and onoe candidate for the Assembly;
l.. J. Fitzgerald, State Engineer under Gov.
Hill; Silas Sherwood, lumber merchant;
James Sherwood commercial traveller; h
Kinney, bookkeeper: Irving r. Palmer,
LAWYER /. W. Bourne of Willet, former
County Treasurer, who was elected by the
largest plurality ever given in the county
to q Democrat.
F.. II. Miller, traveller for a corset COM
pany, took part in the Hughes rally; DR..
M. Hawley marched in the Hughes parade.
Nahum Perry Of Taylor and G. Dwight OF
C~incinnatus are among the hundreds OF
boilers.
Altogether, from painstaking efforts to
get estimates of the Democratic detection,
it seems likely that between 200 and $50, at
least, will not vote for Hearst in the county.
This is out OF the Democratic vote OF 1000.
The same bipartisan sources of informa-
ton acknowledge hat the Republican
converts to Hearstism appear to a little
more than Offset the gain for Hughes from
Gus predictions, Hughes will get, it is
thought, about l ,9OO plurality in the county,
or from 200 to 800 less than the normal
Republican plurality.
Reasons given by the Democrats for not
following Hearst are these:
l.. j. Fitzgerald cannot follow him
because of his outrageous doctrines.
Edwin Duffey-The possibility OF a man
Of Hearst's character being Governor OF
this State, with the social and political
standing which that would confer, IN shock
ing to nv mind. Utterly without a moral
sense, entirely without political sincerity, l
consider his candidacy a monstrous I'M
position not only upon the Democratic
party but upon all the people OF this State.
Nothing, 1t seems 70 me. IN the course OF
our civilization in the Eastern States has
been 40 fraught with public danger-no,
not even the Aaron Burr conspiracy as
this effort Of Hearst 10 obtain political
domination. The ideas he espouses are
held by most of US; He has no copyright
in them; why should we intrust their carry
ing out t. a man of his sort?
+. B. Hakes-Tve been against Hearst
ever since the death of Mckinley. Since
! hen l nave not allowed his newspaper in
INV home. There is no, party reason why
| should vote for him. for he is not q Demo-
crat. His bargain with Murphy was ~
| d~isreputahle that that also would set me
against him" =,
Silas S~herwood-One thing alone would
| turn me against him-his alliance with
| Murphy. He had pretended To be down
on all bosses and bossism, and he went
into partnership with bosses and practised
| bossiBm.
