Democrats Predict II VIII Go for Hughes
by More Than the Usual Plurality.
SYRACUSE, Oct. 25.-One-third OF the
Democrats Of Onondaga county are ex-
pected to 60 against Hearst by not voting
at all or by voting for Hughes.
Both parties have had a canvass taken.
The Republican seems to nave been the
more thorough. Neither was definite or
satisfactory. But from what one may
gather from both the Republicans are
not losing any farm votes, while what
Hearst is gaining in the factories n quite
offset if not more than Offset by what
he is losing through the detection Of con-
sentative Democrats.
For the first time in my experience m
campaigning" reports George Brown Of
the Republican headquarters. Democrats
are coming into Republican headquarters
to give aid against their ticket"
But IL two-thirds remain faithful 10 the
Buffalo convention ticket. what will result?'
IF we get One-third Of the Democrats
Hughes will certainly be elected. This
week the situation, as we find IL, ia one
Of various details. We can only assemble
them and draw an inference. But matters
are fast crystallizine and by Sunday we
should know surely what is going TO
happen"
Democrats connected with the Demo-
cratic organization privately say that the
county will go for Hughes by a somewhat
larger plurality than usual in a State election.
John F. Nash Of Syracuse. one Of tn g
numerous we'll known Democratic boilers
hits on what one finds to be a typical atti-
tude, sayi ng:
MY main reason for being unable to
vote for Mr.. Hearst, and one that must
appeal to everybody, is his ack Of sincerity
His professions and his acts go in contrary
courses. The of his nomination is
the example I chiefly dislike, He claimed
after the New York city election that the
organization prevented voters from voting
But in Buffalo he himself dtd worse-he
threw out delegates who had been truly
elected"
Insincerity on Hearst's part was specif-
cally indicated by Seldom r. McClusky. He
pointed out that the whole burden Of Hearst'e
Onondsga county campaign is being borne
by ex-Mayor James K. Mcclure, now politt-
cal agent and legislative handy man OF the
asphalt trust wherever it seeks business
from municipalities.
Throughout the county the energy OF
this trust employee on behalf OF Mr.. Hearst
