! OLEAN, Oct. 7s.-By arbitrarily taking
away the management OF his campaign
from the regularly organized county COM
mittee and putting it into the hands OF
his Independence League William Ran
dolph Hearst has aroused such deep resent
ment among those Democrats who for
| the sake of being regular would have other
wise supported him that a our through
the county reveals a larger proportion
Of Hughes Democrats in Cattaraugus
| than in any other part of the State. In
one district alone forty-seven Democrats
refused TO register at all, and the Republic
can canvass shows a very large percentage
Of stay-at-homes among the Democrats.
Why, it is asked, IL M. Hearst is running
"a a Democrat, should the campaign be
turned over TO the Independence League,
which haS 40 little following that in Clean
! not one OF the canvassers' books shows a

Staley n. Wood of Hinsdale, who in a dis
trict where the normal Republican ma
iority runs up in the thousands was de-
feated for member Of the Assembly by
thirteen votes and for Congress by only
~thirty-three, has come oft to-day with a
long letter in the local paper refusing to
vote for Hearst, in which he says:
Il am impressed with the thought that
Mr.. Hearst is open to the charge Of duplicity
and ineincerity. While he pretends to be
opposed to corporations he has placed his
newspapers under a triple corporation and
transferred them TO the State Of New Jer-
sey in order to avoid personal RESPONSE
bility. While he pretends to he opposed
to bosses and bossism he receives from
Charles F. Murphy, the boss Of Tammany
Hall, the nomination for the highest Office
in the gift Of the people OF the State
when seen to-day Mr.. Wood said: Il
shallvote for Mr.. Hughes. and in and around
the town Of Hinsdale il il hard TO find any
good Democrats who are not going 10 do
the same. He will be the first Republican
I have ever voted for for Governor, and |
hope he will be the last, but Mr.. Hearst Is
no Democrat

Govornor. Mr.. Ansley said: Both myself
and nv son will votefor Mr.. Hughes. What
else can a mar do who believes IN the prln-
ciples Of the Democratic party ana mas It's
best welfare at hearth .
August Seitz, a well known merchant Of
Salamanca. was equally oltspoken. Mr..
Hughes will get my vote thisyear, aIthouSn

for Hearst, ]. l.. Ryan OF Salamanca and
George A. Larkin and Louis Stowell OF

tive of the younger element in the Demo
cratic party in this county u Is safe 10

The Republicans estimate that huBhess
majority will be over $500 in the county.
IN LIVINGSTON COUNTY
.DANsy1ILR, Oct. 2s.-F. W. Noyes is
! one of twenty-five prominent Democrats
here who make no secret OF the fact that
they will vote for Hughes.
Il am an ole time Democrat and not in
sympathy with the methods used by Hearst
either in business or in politics. l have
been in the habit OF voting the straight
Democratic ticket when straight Demo
Gratis are candidates, but under existing
conditions in the present campaign l am
for Hughes, although ! shall probably sup
port the rest OF the Democratic State
ticket"
George A. Sweet, a nurseryman, for many
wears a prominent Democrat, will vote for
Hughes. Il do not consider Hearst a Demo-
crat," said Mr.. Sweet, n a Democrat
who votes for Hearst will vote to destroy
his own party.
