Last week was a most profitable one. Every
where Mr. Hughes has gone he has made
friends and votes. In addition 70 this he has
Inspired the various local leaders and campaign
rrnmittees with some Of his own enthusiasm
sad has impressed them with the necessity of
hard, earnest work right up 70 Election Day.
Because OF the Decentralization Of the old Demo-
cratic organization in many places and OF the
faot that many prominent members of the
marty out for Mr.. Hughes feeling has
seemed to prevail among the Republicans in
some Of the districts visited that Mr. Hughes

preciate, IN some cases the work that is being
done by the Independence League organizations
and Of the effect Of the tremendous amount Of
Hearst literature that is being disseminated in
every part of the state. II is this apathy alone
which may prevent exceptionally large Re-
publican plurality UP tbs state Mr. Hughes
himself has dispelled this apathy wherever he
has gone. Not only has he aroused Republicans
10 great activity. but he has impressed the old
1,ne Democrats with his great ability sincerity
and obvious fitness for the office of Governor
that they viii not be content with simply vot-
ing for him. but have become active workers.
Speaking Of the work of the last week Mr..
Hughes said tonight:
We have had week Of excellent meetings.
There have been evidences all along the line
of greatly increasing interest. The frank. cord
"a support that we are receiving from old
-i-ne Democrats continues II be the most sig
:.fcaut feature Of the campaign. While there
: e-s.-- reason for encoura cement. we must
raxe nothing for granted and leave nothing IN
cone % insure success.
Particularly impressive has been the cordial
way in which Mr.. Hughes has been received
ny the laboIinE men. 10 many Of whom he has
Spoken ga the last six days of campaigning.
Many Of these men are claimed by the Hearst
leaders. but the most noticea bic thing every
where Mr, Hughes has been this week is the
ooratic candidate. There has been a revulsion
of feeling among thinking laboring men. TheS
are beginning To understand Hearst's insincerity
and to realize that Mr.. Hughes in the Gov
ernor's chair would really do more for them
than Mr. Hearst could or would.

attention 70 the Southern Tier. In the labor
centres ne has been received in the same cordial
Tay and has won his audiences the same as he
