Manufacturers Fight O'Byrne.
Senator Hughes declared yesterday
that the National Manufacturers AS
ISOLATION had their fingers in the fight
and that some of the methods used
by Colonel Mulhall against him
(Hughes) were being used against
"Ind:ca tons now appear" said
Senator Hughes, that the successors
of the worthy Colonel Mulhall are
beginning their work in this d strict.
You W II remember that Colonel Null
hall, who used to be the secret agent
or the NaIlOnui mdHuldCLufStS fAS-
sociation, was called before a special
invest eating committee of the Sen
ate last summer, and during the
course of his testimony 1t appeared
that this congress onal district was a
field of great concern to him at cleo

"He had headquarters in one of
our local hotels and from there sent
forth his agents of corruption. Let
me warn the toll who may now be at
this work that time have changed
since MulhaIl worked here. We had
to fight long and hard to get laws to
make this damnable corrupt on work
dangerous. Thank God we have
these laws today and we will fight to
uphold them"

That the opponents of Mr.. 'Byrne

( administration of President wilson
Is apparent in the circulation of lit
eruture sa d to be paid for by W. A.
Wakeman, of New York, who is Sec
retary of the American Protective
Tariff League ami editor of the
Economist. One of the pamphlets
denounces the present tariff law,
ascribes to it the plight of farmers
and wage earners, and says the only
way to overcome these evils is to
vote for the Republican candidate.
Predicts Big Socialist Vote.
The campaign is one of the most
Bpirited In years. Democrats and Re-
pub leans admit they are scared by
the Socialists and the Progre ssiVe
vote becomes an important factor
because of the chance it may afford
tn, Socialist candidate, Gordon DEM
Arrest. to win. Former Mayor George
Lunn, of Schenectady, N. Y, was
here yesterday speaking for Dema-
rest, and he predicted that the. So
ejalist vote will be a record breaker.
Henry c. Whitehead, the Pro-
gressive candidate, continues his
vigorous campaign.
