The Rev Dr. Charles E Locke. at the Hanson

HEARsT's RECEPTION AT CHATHAM

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Mr.. Hearst received what is acknowledged
by every fair minded person to be a rather cool re-
ception when he spoke here Friday. He did not
speak more than fifteen or twenty minutes but the
applause from the platform which he
spoke, the track from the grandstand, from
local Democratic adherentS. If at any time there
had been called for three cheers for Hughes they
would have been forthcoming with Will; but out
of courtesy to the speaker. demonstration was
made. I followed Mr. and Mrs Hearst when they
left the grandstand after watching the races, and
there was a shadow of applause. Some one
proposed three cheers for Hearst, but they Were
not forthcoming. If this county does not give
Hughes a thousand majority the Republicans will
fall short OF doing their duty. Several of our buS
ness men, Democrats. are against Hearst. ID.
