ROCHESTER, Oct. AFTER reading the In
terview with Charles r. Hughes and Mr..
Hughes's letter Of acceptance, printed In
the New York papers this morning, W. II.
Hearst tonight gave out this statement,
attacking Mr.. Hughes and the managers OF
his campaign:
aMr. Hughes would apparently make q
distinction between q reporter who works
or salary n one who wcrkS on space; be-
tween a liquor dea Ter who sells liquor by the
barrel and one who bottles and sells 1t sepa-
ratel and In individual bottles; between
q contractor who does time work and one
who does piece work.
Il define a corporation Law yer as { man
VITO has served a corporation either on time
or piece work before he went into politics. as
a man who expects TO serve the corporation
either on time oil iece work after he goes
out OF politics and a man who will probably
serve the corporations either on time or
piece work while he il in politics.
The New York Tribune, the official organ
Of the corporation party, speaking OF the
corporation candidate Of that party. said:
Mr.. Hughes opposes everything that Mr..
Hearst stands for, and stands for every
thing that Mr.. Hearst opposes While Mr..
Hughes, In his speech OF acceptance, Hoes
not seem to tand for any party principle or
to declare for any definite or specific action.
still, in a general way, however, he J~ustifies
the .TribIne's statement, for he does
definitely express his approval OF the record
Of Mr.. Higgins and theR Republican State ad.
ministration, and promises a continuance OF
the conditions with which the people are so
thoroughly dissatisfied.
Furthermore, in the nomination. OF q

party we have a definite Endorsement OF
corporation. control in government. In
the denomination Of Attorney-General
Mayer we have a definite endorsement OF
the late election frauds, the investigation
Of which Mayer was ~shamefully active in
.suppressing. In the selection Of sheldon,
a director in twenty-one corporations and a
promoter OF the swindling ship building
trust, "a campaign fund collector. we have
a definite Endorsement Of piratical finances.
In the selection OF Woodruff, president OF
an insurance company and active lobbyist
at Albany against insurance reform, as
campaign manager we have a definite in
dorsement OF insurance corruption:
If the Republican party stands for these
men and these issues Il certainly does
stand for the things that l oppose and the
things that l believe the people oppose
and furthermore the things l believe that
honest Republicans oppose.
Il am certainly willing and eager to have
all corporation Democrats who sympathize
with such men and such issues 60 over to
the corporation party where they belong,
and / am hopeful hat sincere Republicans,
Lincoln Republicans through principle,
will ally themselves with tho Independence
League in an honest effort to wrest the
control OF government from corrupt cor
porations and their representatives in
politics, and to restore the old fashioned
American system Of Government by the
people'for the public good
