Editor Of The Advertiser:
In your issue of October 4, there ap-
pcared an article by "Old Farmer
taking me to task for having implied
in my recent letter, originally pub
lished in The New York Times and
copied in your paper, that the support
ers of Cole Blease one and all are
gaping rustics' and ignoramuses.
must beg of you sufficient space to
make my reply to "Old Farmers" ac-
cuSation.
do not believe that can be ac-
cused, justly accused, of having made
any such assertion either directly or
by implication. What | said in my let
ter was this: with the gaping rus
ties ranged around and with a man
like Cole Blease on the speakers stand
casting his spell over them making
them believe and vigorously maintain
that black is white, the onlookcr who
still keeps his equilibrium is almost
tempted to doubt whether a democracy
can long endure the test" If this IS
an accusation, or can lcgitimately no
Sald TO imply the accusation, that all
OF the supporters of BlcaSc are gaming
rustlcS. then confess myself unable
to understand the English language
or to use IT in such manner as to re-
ram from saying what | do not mean.
10 say that gaping ruStics are among
ihc followers Of BlcaSc is surely not
| equivalent to the assertion that all
lhc followers of Blcasc are gaping
rnstics'; il is one thing to say that
Democrats in Congress voted for the
cight-hour law, and il is altogether n
dlhcrcnt thing to say that all Of the
congressman who voted for the law
were Democrats. Furthermore, the
term rustic is not such a bad term
alicr all; 1T is closely akin to rural.
AND the whole phrase gaping rusiics
ranged around is quotation, as was
indicated by the quotation marks. and
was intended in no dcrogatory sense
trust this explanation will appcasc
old Farmers" ire and return mo to
his good graccs.

not occur anywhere in my letter. |

A Favorite of The Interests.

Mr.. Hughes has always been fav-
orite of ''the malefactors of great
wealth" When he ran for Govern
or of New York. Morgan, Carnegie,
Morton, Rockefeller and others with
swollen fortunes put 1913, 923 in his
campaign fund. And they are putting
up millions now where they put up
thousands then. Ii he is elected, he
will be owned body and soul by them
and do their bidding. Realizing what
il meant before to be under the con-
troll of such interests; the voters are
not going to permit such calamity,
but will retain in Office the man who
is in sympathy with the common peo-
pie and has done so much for them.

New York.

New York, Oct. 30.-The New
York Herald's straw vote to date
shows Wilson leading Hughes in
states which electoral votes are neces-

votes.
The states which the Herald gives
to President Wilson are Colorado,
Connecticut, Idaho, Illinois, Kentucky,
Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, New
York, Ohio, Washington, West Vir-
ginia, Wisconsin and all the south.
Even without New York, which
the president will carry by upward of

have 286 electoral votes.
