He HAS THE VOTES.
Hughes Says All That Is Necessary Is
to Get Them Out.

Schenectady, n. Y, Nov. q
Charles E. Hughes spoke at three
meetings here today. At two of the
meetings practically all OF Mr.. Hughes
hearers were mechanics and skilled
workers. Mr.. Hughes dwelt at length
upon the prosperity that is prevailing
in the state and nation, but he de-
clared that all this could be torn
down in night" if business conf
dence should be shaken. He told his
hearers that the workers would be the
first to feel the effects of a false step
fore casting their votes on Tuesday
next. Mr.. Hughes declared that more
than 100 laws relating to labor had
heen placed upon the statute book of
the state the past IL years. He prom
ised they would be enforced.
"If I am elected governor" he de-
clared, L shall see to 1t that my ad-
ministratiOn is an economical one, but
no money will be spared TO see that
every law Is carried out. No statute
shall want of enforcement for the lack
of a man or the lack Of a dollar to
enforce it"
Anything, he asserted, which has for
its purpose the welfare of the workers
of the state will have his hearty sup
port if he is chosen to represent the
people at Albany.
This is the last day of Mr.. Hughes
up state campaign. Commenting upon
the conditions he said today;
THE conditions up state are very
satisfa ctory. The Republicans are
loyal and alert and throughout the
state we have the support of the old
line Democrats. It is simply a ques-
ton of getting out the vote. If that is
done victory Is achieved. but the dan
ger of getting overconfident is very
great and no one must at this time re
lax his individual effort

NOTHING BUT MEMORY
City of Areonauts, Pride of Thousands,
Swept by Fierce Fires.

San Francisco, Cal, April 20.-The
city of Argonauts is now nothing but
a memory. Through the red haze of
a hundred fires lettering ghosts of its
once fine buildings look down between
sun and sun. Every great block in the
city has been destroyed.
Veritable He'll of Flame.
The roaring, seething hell of flame
swept its way from the ferry station
westward, and the magnificent fire de-
partment of San Francisco, pitifully
handicapped by lack of water and
scarcity of dynamite, was forced back
into the residence district by the bitter
warfare, but the odds were with the
fire fiend.
Firemen Drop in Tracks.
All night long the losing battle con.
tinued, until firemen dropped exhaust
ed, still clinging to the MOBILES. So
the flames crept over the hill from
K~earney street.

warded Monday morning to Governor

tributed as he may see fit. The list at
the p~ostofice was headed by POstmas-
ter Beltz, whose name was succeeded
by that of John Prick, jr., a letter
carrier, the The Republican within a
few seconds of its preparation. Other
names were added from time to time.

Croker Full of Hope.

New York, April 20.-"San Francisco
within five years will be greater and
more beautiful than ever. This calam-
ity will only give the opportunity to
make a more splendid city than was
ever dreamed Of" said William H.
Croker of San Francisco, one of the
losers by the awful earthquake and
fires. He was greatly depressed by the
news of the disaster, but he spoke as
one full of hope.
Not Afraid of Future.
Mr.. Croker arrived onlysa few days
ago from the Pacific coast. He owned
the Croker -Wolworth building, the
burned Croker buildings, and had
much other property in San Francisco.
Metropolis of Coast.
What about this talk of abandoning
San Francisco?" was asked him.
"Preposterous,'' he said. San
Francisco, by reason of its geograph-
ical location, is the metropolis of the
Pacific coast. God made it so. Ev-
~erybody, l know, is determined to re-
build at once, stronger, better and
finer buildings than ever"
