LAWYER because he takes cases from various
corporations and does not receive a yearly re-
tainer from any one corporation. This seems
to me tn be a lawyers bubble unworthy OF a
broad minded man. And An equally I'M
worthy and untruthful bubble Is Mr.. Hughesis
statement that have made my newspapers
into a company in order to avoid suits and LA
bilities.
Any lawyer knows that a newspaper owned
by an dual can only be served and sued
with great difficulty. and by service upon the
individual mainly; while a newspaper owned
ny a company can be served and sued through
any officer or director in the company, or
through any managing agent of the company.
or by merely handing the ummOns over the
desk to the cashier, 40 that by making my
newspapers into separate companies | have
made suits and service against them easy, in
stead of difficult.
Mr.. Hughes knows this as a lawyer. for he il
not a bad enough lawyer not to know n. and
his attempt to deceive people unaCquainted
with the law is distinctly discreditable.
Mr.. Hughes says that a woman who was in
jured by a newspaper delivery company of
mine had great difficulty in suing for damages.
1t is true that the woman brought suit against
the wrong individual. but Mr.. Hughes doesn't
state what is also true-that, Notwithstanding
that fact, | paid To that woman and her family
over $50, 900 to compensate them for injuries
for which l was not directly responsible.
A further unworthy and untruthful state.
meat IL Mr.. Hughes's attempt TO imply that
l am opposed to legitimate companies or
! corporations or legitimate bus ness or to
hon estly acquired wealth. l am not opposed
ID the legitimate accumulation OF wealth,
to any legitimate employment Of wealth or
to any legitimate enjoyment Of wealth, but
I deny TO the shrewd and interruptions the
right to rob. the privilege to plumber. l

repeat, definitely and positively, that I
will run out OF ONCE the unworthy mem

have to smoke out the Senate.
Mr.. Hughes finally pretends TO protest
against bosses. and yet the convention that
nominated him struck ont OF his platform
the one measure by which bosses can be
effectively destroyed. the direct nomination
plank. Under our present system it is i'm
possible TO permanently destroy bossism
One boss will be overthrow, and another
boss Immediately takes his place. When a
direct nomination act. to which our candi
dates are pledged. shall have been passed,
the power OF nominations will lie in the hands
OF the people. and not only the individual
boss, but the opportunity for bOssism. will

campaign and our solemn pledge, II elected,

OF the people, TO be conducted for the public

| definite measures and we pledge ourselves
to carry out our pledges.
Q MI. Heaist's reception in OsweRo county
was seemingly not. SO cordial as he received
yestei day in Cortland. Il was patty ex-
planned to-day at Fulton by the fact that
there are few union workmen EMPLOYED
\ there. The woollen mills plant, which ia
the biggest concern In that town, is an open
shop. According to the superintendent Of
the mills 90 pei cent. OF the employees will
vote for Nj. Hughes. He declared thai
the Hearst men in Oswego county have not
been Of the character that appeals either
to substantial Democrats or Republicans
! and said that II Nh. HeaIst had personal
knowledge Of the type Of men who are
making capital for themselves out Of the
] Hearst movement in this section he would
| have to tJun them down.
THAT IL why the Independence League
went to pieces in Oswego city said he.
and why the Hearst people could not get
! up an organization in Fulton. Good men
I didn't relish pulling into line behind the
sort Of fellows that have been shouting
Hearst and looking out for themselves
first, last and all the time
In this city and county the Independence
/ LaaguerS have been ignored and turned
down right and left by Charles ". Bll0er
and the Democratic crowd, and they are
very sore ut Mr.. Hearst, because, AZ thew
