ATTACKS HEARST ONCE MORE.
WE WANT No ANARCHY IN NAME
or Reform. SAYS MR. HUGHES.
speaks 10 a Mig Grove NJ OswesO and
CritIclses Severely the Murphy-Hearst
judicial DeaI-Its Motive Revealed
Candidate speaks In several Counties.

I o-night with a speech before 1000 people
in the Richardson Theatre. Starting out
from Rochester early in the morning, he car
ried his fight through Monroe, Genesee,
Orleans, Niagara and Oswego counties,
delivering ten speeches in the course of the
day and shaking hands with hundreds Of
people. Everywhere the candidate was
greeted by encoura ging crowds and in all the
counties visited he was assured that there
would be no falling off from the norma
Republican majoritiss.
The meeting and reception here tonight
were the principal events on the n
dates schedule for the day. This city or
dinarily is Democratic by a small margin.
But nobody who attended the meeting to-
night would have suspected il, Mr.. Hughes
lived here for several years when a boy.
and that circumstance operated with "a
| strong sentiment in favor of his candidacy
to make the rally a rousing one. the Oswego
reception committee, headed by State Com
mitteeman John +. Mott and Thomas P.
K~ingsford, the starch manufacturer met
Mr.. Hughes at Syracuse and accompanied
him in on his special train. Mr.. Mott told
the candidate that Oswego will give him a
majority OF between 4,OHJ and 400. which
is several hundred in excess Of h Hig-
gins got.
He estimated that between 900 and 400
old time Democrats in this city alone will
vote for Hughes. Among them probably
will be James F.. Mansfield, former Mayor
and the original Hearst man in Oswego.
Mansfield organized the Independence
League here and after he had doomed
the Hearst game and got an organization
established he was thrown over by the
Independence League in favor of Charles
n. Bulger, boss of the local Democratic
machine and now chairman Of the executive
committee Of the Democratic State commit
tee. Mansfield packed up all the Autographs
and other campaign matter in his possession
and shipped il back tn the Hearst head
quarters at the Gilsey House.
It is understood now that he is working
for Hughes with a considerable following
Of the Independence Leaguers here behind
him. The Rev. Father Barry. dean Of the
Catholic diocese here. is another prominent
Oswego Democrat who has decided for
Hughes.
IL was $50 o'clock in the evening when
the candidate arrived in this city. On his
way to the theatre he was followed by a
small army of boys who whooped it up for
Hearst. This isn't the only place where
the candidate has had that experience.
In many of the western New York cities
which he visited to-day the boys with free
Journals under their arms have chased after
him in the same way and in some instances
raised disturbances in the halls. Tonight
a story is going around that the Oswego
boys we're hired at 81 a head to make their
demo nstrations.
Mr.. Hughes was greeted with a storm Of
cheers when he entered the theatre. The
presiding officer of the meeting, Major j..
X. Smith, was a union man, he was a tin-
smith before he became Mayor. He has a
strong following among union men in this
city.
Mr.. Hughes's declaration that he stood
for a clean, honorable government at Albany
and for the Punishment of corrupt lobby
lists was & reeted with a volley of hand
~clapping, as we're also his pledges in regard
to the enforcement of the labor laws. But
il was when he pounded Hearst, declaring
that we want no anarchy in the name OF
reform, that the Oswego folks responded
best. Here is the candidates speech in
part:
we are through, | hope. with conditions
under which d representative of the people
owes allegiance to some one not the people.
We desire to have IL understood that every
man tnaL goes 70 NhSnllRtOn OF 10 Albany
through the votes Of his fellow citizens
shall understand that he is responsible to
those constituents for his discharge Of
duty, unfettered by any interest, only
according to his conscience. And when a
man comes home to give an account Of him
self and says that he has done this OF that
because he believed il to be right. while
he may be disagreed with by his constitu-
ents. he will be justly respected If he has
acted as his conscience dictated.

servitude. They require service, honorable
service that a man can give. who holds nus
own self-respeCt intact and who walks in the
light of his own manhood.
There is no part of our system Of govern
ment which should he 20 carefully protected
from any interference or the part Of a boss
as the judicial branch of our Government.
There IN no better test of a mans real indie
pendent attitude, there is no better criterion
of his real respect for an unfettered and
conscientious discharge of public duty than
his attitude toward the Justices whom We
place in our courts to dispense justice inn
partially and according to Law
IF we find the Boss Of Tammany Hall
virtually appointing Judges TO the bench
we know that il eXemplifies the most repre-
hensible part Of the whole system of boss
management.
1T Is a test Of my opponents sincerity
that TO achieve the oclce which he coveted
he was willing TO give to Boss Murphy the
nomination in effect OF a majority OF the
Judges who were TO be elected in New
York county for the purpose OF increasing
the opportunity for the dispensing OF
justice in that great commercial community.
We zee the price on the one hand. a de-
sire exhibited to obtain control Of the cleo
toral machinery OF the Democratic party.
On the other side, We had the ambition Of
the local potentate to obtain control OF the
patronage in a great community. The
two ambitions met. These two ambitions
dealt. These two ambitions came to an
understanding. And AZ l am against I'M
fair combinations in trade, 40 | arm against
the Murphy Hearst combination in politics
The man who will deal easily with char
acter for the purpose Of increasing the
circulation OF newspapers and care but
little how persons are injured In what is
most sacred to every man., his reputation,
and will spread calumny abroad for the
purpose Of achieving the object Of a selfieh
ambition. I tell you, my friends, that in
hat conduct and in the spirit OF such a
one you will find the most dangerous menace
to our American life.
The man who e~ndeavors to achieve any,
