MADISON DEMOCRATS DISGUSTED.
EN-secretary FaIrchiId ana Many Others
Refuse TO support Hearst.

CANAsroTA, y. Y, Oct. 30!-Independent
voting on the Senatorship and he faulty
way in which the farmers split their ballots
make it difficult TO estimate what Hughes's
plurality will be in Madison county. Last
election 500 votes had to be thrown out
because they were wrongly marked. Even
after the detective ballots ave been elimi-
mated no doubt is expressed that Hearst
will be beaten 10y $500.
! Senator Gates's (Rep) campaign for
reelection "a an independent is likely 10
injure Hearst. Gates has had 5000 sample
ballots prepared i%nstructing voters to make
a cross under the Republican eagle and
another against his name under the carpen-
ter'B square, emblem of the Square Deal
party.
This being the county where Cleveland's
Secretary OF the Treasury, Charles $. Fair
child, has his summer home, there are
many Democrats of his character. and they
are either actively against or indifferent TO
the Hearst candidacy, Mr.. Fairchild has
announced his own position thus:
Being out of politics there is only my own
vote to he considered, and a. TO that there
can be no doubt. As a matter Of course l
shall support Mr.. Hughes
b. r. Wendell of Cazenovia is frankly
~antagonizing Hearst. Others. like p. H.
Donnelly, grocer, express their distaste
for him but do not disclose how they will
vote. Many OF the Old line Democrats will
scratch Hearst but vote the rest OF the
ticket. in Canastota there was b same
feeling. Democrats are so few tina the
position is thus described:
We hope not TO have 70 give up our hold
upon our Democrats, for If the Hearst forces
gain control we shall no longer have a
Democratic party which represents us;
we shall nave to become Republican,"
Canastota's organization Is Indifferent
and Hearst vote will have TO come out
without assistance or induCement or agita-
| ton. Some Republican defections to Hearst
| are reported. j. Clarence Rasbach, cashier
of the First National Bank, says there are
twenty Republican merchants there who
will support Hearst because Of their disgust
at the Republican dOings al Albany.
In the tow of Oneida the Democratic
organization is doing no work. Fifteen per
| cent. of the DemocFats there, 1t is estimated,
will bolt the Buffalo ticket. Among them
are Ira b. Smell, president Of the Five
States Dairy Producers Association; Harri-
acturer and G. W. Mott, manufacturer.
Mr.. Smell says: I've voted the Demo
| cratic ticket since 1852, when | voted for
Horatio Seymour, who was elected Gov
ernor. But l shall not vote for Hearst.
l shall vote for Hughes and all the rest OF
the Republican ticket
Oneida is the only town in the county
where there is a labor vote, and g.. Stanley
Child, editor of the Oneida Dispatch, de-
| clared to-day that Hearst, according TO his
reports, has not half Of the labor vote.

PHELPS, n. Y, Oct. SO.-This town, which
is in Ontario county, has gone over almost
bodily to Hughes. Not a single Hearst
Autograph is displayed in a shop window
and only one small poster advertises the
fact that his train will stop here for a few
minutes this afternoon. The Republican
organization is leaving the management
OF the local campaign to the Democrats
of the town, who promise a majority Tor
Hughes OF at least two hundred.
Here and there a Democrat remains who
has not 80 far declared himself against
Hearst, and it is known that three Republic
cans will not vote for Hughes because OF a
local quarrel, but with these exceptions
the whole town is virtually solid for Hughes

in the revolt against Hearst among the
Democrats. F.. P. Ryan, proprietor of the

added 70 the Shonor roll, az some OF the
Democrats have begun to call the list OF
those who will not vote for Hearst.

but run all the way from worklngmen TO
bankers. John H. Roy has been super

campaign. To-day he made q speech for

Spooner's work in the Senate and charging
that Spooner had opposed Roosevelt's

SIGN FOR JUDGE COMING.
Lawyers Practising In General sessions
ASK for Ills Reelection.

Ask for Ills Reelection.
Many lawyers and members of the office
of District Attorney Jerome signed yester-
day an appeal to the voters Of the county
| on behalf OF Judge Rufus b. Cowing. who is
u candidate on the Judiciary Nominators'
ticket for reelection TO the bench Of General
Sessions. The paper read:
we. the undersigned lawyers who have
praotised in the Court of General Sessions
before the Hon. Rufus B. Cowing either in
behalf of the prosecution or OF the defence,
heartily indorse his candidacy for reelection
and place before you this testimonial TO his
fitness and character.
He has given to the bench twenty-eight
years of honest and highly efficient SER
vice and we believe that it is to the interest
of the people OF this county that he be re-
elected. Upon the completion OF his first
term in Office his fairness, impartiality,
efficiency and popularity were sufficiently
well recognized to cause his denomination
by both the Republican and Democratic
parties, and his second term witnessed no
falling OF in these qualities, No man
could be better equipped than he in the
knowledge of the criminal law and its prac-
teal application to present conditions IN
this great city. During Judge Cowing's
long incumbency no Instance ever has been
cited where political considerations or
affiliations have warped his answering
justice, and to-day he appears before the
public standing on a platform which dis
claims and d~enounces the infusion Of politics
into the judiciary. This il the Judge for
whose election We ask your support.
The paper is signed by the following
among others, District Attorney jerome,
Charles j. Campbell, George Whiteside,
Leon Levy, Joseph Marx, Robert Town
send and the entire stan OF the District
Attorneys Office.

ROTHSCHILD WAS FOR ERLiNGER
And Erlanger as sheriff Deposited in
NOthschiId's Bank.

Mitchell l.. Erlanger, one of the candi-
dates for Supreme Court Justice on the
Murphy Hearst ticket, resents the pub
lished reports that Rothschild, the notorious
wrecker Of the Federal Rank and the Globe
Security Company, who is now serving
a long term in Sing Sing, was a friend of
his.
When E~TlanLer was running for Sheriff
in 1901 Rothschild was active IN his cam
paign and sent out letters to hundreds
on the East Side. asking them to give their
support to Mr.. Erlanger and to contribute
what they could to the campaign. The
character Of Rotbschild was not generally
known then and he had a large business
acquaintance on the East Side. He was
also popular among the thrifty people
over there, because his bank paid 4 per
cent on deposits.
| According to the statements Of Mr..
\ ErlanRer's W fri ends, Granger deposited
some Of the funds Of the Sherif's office In
| R~othschild's bank. At one time they say
there was $40 900 OF such funds in the bank
but when the crash came the balance was
only about $3.50, and this Mr.. Granger
| personally made good, making a claim on
the receiver for the amount.
Mr.. Eranger owes his place m the
Murphy Hearst ticket entirely to the Sulli-
vans, big and little Tim. IL was they who
secured the nomination for Sheriff for
him in 1901 and II was they who insisted
that he should be put on the Supreme
Court ticket this year. changers brother.

David Blaustein Says That All the Fast
side Needs Is Instruction.
David Blaustein, superintendent of the
Educational Alliance. at 1877 East Broadway,
who has excellent opportunities for knowing
the sentiment Of the Jews Of the East Side.
said yesterday that il they could be made
to understand before election day that the
Judiciary NominatoTs' ticket Is absolutely
non-partisan they will vote solidly for il.
He said he was afraid hat the vigorous
campaign now being conducted on the
Fast SIDE was started too late to remove
the natural doubts from the great body
of Jews that any ticket for which their
votes are asked can be untainted by party
politics.
The quest on Of the Judges has always
been a vital one with the Hebrews, be said.
They nave long since lost all faith in the
state Legislature, and think even less Of
the municipal administration. They have
kept their faith in the courts, however,
and have believed that there, at least. they
can get a square deal. Naturally they
will vote for the judiciary candidates against
whom there is no suspicion Of politics.

Chairman Woodruff n received a telegram
from William c. Warren Of Buffalo " which
Mr.. Warren says that any statement that
he had written a letter TO the effect that
Hearst would carry Erie county was en-
tireiy erroneous. Mr.. Warren wound up
his telegram by saying
Il predict that Hughes will have from
5000 to 10000 plurality in Erie county.
Chairman Woodruff and his associates
did not hesitate to say that there must
be no letup in the work until the polls close
on election night.
we had a feeling Of overconfdence
early in the campaign said Mr.. Woodruff
but thar has given place to the hardest
kind OF effort in all OF the counties IN the
State. Mr.. Hearst should be. beaten 80
badly that he must realize that the peopleo OF

The Republican campaigners said that
Mr.. Hearst and Mr.. Hearst's friends were
being utterly deluded as to the real situa-
ton in the country districts Of the State.
All sorts OF false polls, it was stated, nave
been sent into New York city from the
cities OF the second and third class and
from some of the farming districts. As =
matter of fact, IL was stated, there
had never been any serious fear on the
part Of the upstate Republicans and the
Democrats who are fighting by their side
that Mr.. Hearst could come within gun
