Immediately after he quit talking Mr..
Hearst started through the crowd. The
next i've minutes was rough going. The
big crowd became a mob in its efforts to get
close to the candidate and shake hands with
him. A dozen policemen tried to beat back
the crowd and clear a lane to the carriage.
They were powerless for eight or ten min
uteN. Mr.. Hearst was pushed here and
there. jostled, bumped and twisted about.
Mr.. Hearst smiled and laughed through
II all.
William r. Hearst reached Glens Falls at
7 o'clock his evening. At the railroad
station a crowd OF perhaps 1000 people
hailed him with cheers and red fire. The
local committeemen hustled him into his
carriage and led a parade up 81. Lawrence
street. Behind the carriages tramped sew
eral hundred men, who cheered manfully
I and stirred up the sighteeers along the way.
Glens Falls evidently was curious to see the
| candidate. From the upper floors Of the
| stores men and women waved handker-
chiefs. The sidewalks were pretty we'll
! flled with a Saturday night shopping
crowd that were anxious to see what Mr..
Hearst looked like.
The meeting was held In the Empire
Theatre, where Charles E. Hughes spoke
recently. II has a capacity OF about 500
and it was packed to the limit; In the
rear and in the aisle men stood up. 80
many people were outside that the man
ayers Of the meeting quickly. arranged an
overflow meeting, which Lewis Stuyvesant
Chanler addressed while Mr.. Hearst was
talking in the theatre.
The audiences in the theatre gavs Mr..
Hearst a rousing welcome when he entered
the hall. Timothy l. Dillon, ayoung Demo:
cratic lawyer, presided. When he had
uncanned a bushel or two Of fine phrases
Mr.. Hearst walked to the footlights: He
didn't want the crowd to waste lime cheer
ing, because he had an engagement at
Schenectady and there wasn't much time
to spend at Glens Falls. The band re-
strained itself and nobody had to take their
instruments away from them, as happened
at Saratoga, to stop their ~felonious attack
on The Star Spangled Banner
Mr.. Hearst started of with his usual
salutation. and a voice broke in with,
up his hands and shouted hack. -Hello!'
The crowd laughed and settled back for the
speech.
Mr.. Hearst managed to arouse his audi
ence to greater responsiveness than usual.
He was applauded at the end Of every sen-
tence and the ~friendliness Of the crowd
seemed to encourage him and wake him up
thoroughly. He appealed to the Lincoln
Republicans in the audience to stand with
him. He said that no Democrat who be-
lieved in the Democracy Of Thomas Jener-
son and in the RepubliCa nism Of Abraham
Lincoln can afford to stand back from the
movement he was leading. Then no re-
viewed his fights against various corpora
the Gas Mayor There were a few Kisses.
He roasted Mr.. Hughes for what he called
the atter's failure to accomplish anything
in the gas case and got a lau gh when he
declared that Mr.. Hughes was more valuable
away on vacation h he is in the court
room. Then he went after the union labor
men who made up a big part Of the audi
ence. telling them what he had lone for
union labor in San Francisco. and readinga
letter to back up his statement that his
friendship toward unions was not based on
political considerations
sWhat I have done" saidD Mr.. Hearst,
Il did not do TO get votes. and what have
done / shall continue to do whether l am
elected or not
He told the audience that the criminal
! corporations were like the outlaw who puts
on a black mask and holds up the honest
citizens.

hurriedly left the theatre and entered the
Hotel Rulif through a back entrance. In
front Of the hotel a crowd Of 200 OF more

out onto a balcony there was a round OF
cheering. He talked for a quarter Of an
hour, repeating practically the speech he
made in the Empire Theatre
While Mr.. Hearst was driving in Al open
carriage to the train a man climbed onto
his carriage and tapped him on the shoulder.
