Contract Jumping was SO prevalent

leagues increased the attendance ire

the ''tripartite agreement" and was

meeting at Arion Hall. where Gov. Whit

he met an audience made up mostly OF

The Cooper Union meeting to be ad-

in which no likens the present situation
TO the crises confronting the country In
W~ashington's and Lircoln's times. The
speech Is intended as an appeal to the
whole nation, and is said by those who
have seen It to be as good as any the
Colonel has ever delivered.
The doors Of Cooper Union will not be
opened until S =. NJ. There will be no
tickets. As soon as the police decide
that the limit has been reached the
doors will be closed.
Republican campaign managers be-
lieve that on Saturday night Mr.. Hughes

upon its effect. Mr.. Hughes will also,

can plurality for Hughes. The reaction
from Wilson Is already very noticeable
among the factory hands; there is evi.
dence, too, that the railroad men who
at first were aggressive in their cham
pionship Of the President are changing
front, beginning as they do to realize
that the so-called Eight hour day Is
not pure gold.
In the counties Of the southern tier
outside Of Broome Mr.. Hughes will re-
ceive the normal Republican pluralities
where he does not do better than that.
In Chemung county John r. Murtagh
and DR.. Robert T. Bush. the Democratic
leaders, are reported to be paying little
attention to the Wilson campaign. DR..
Bush is a candidate for Assembly, and
having many personal friends among
Republicans. has no desire to offend
them by too strong an advocacy Of Will
son. In whom apparently he takes no
great interest. Mr.. Murtagh. a former
state Senator. had hoped to be the
Democratic nominee for A~ttorney-Gen-
eral. His disappointment on that score
and his lack of admiration for Samuel
Seabury. the ~Governorship candidate,
have kept him rather inactive. Chemung

Mr.. Hughes spoke first to-day at

he found 10000 persons waiting for him.
lie went on TO Bedford. In the stone
quarry district. and addressed 5000 In
front of the court house. At Washing
ton there were 10000 and here In Evans
vile In two meetings tonight $4,000
heard him.
His point Of view to-day was that the
time for campaign talk Is past, that the
people are tired OF hearing campaign
arguments. having made up their minds
by this time. n that II was sufficient for
him merely to show himself. 1nvariaJ
bly,. however, when he got started he
talked at length. saying some pretty
positive things. His speech at WASH
ington was an enlargement Of his ut
terances elsewhere. Here he. was inter
rupted by a heckler who asked. What
about the Danbury hatters' case
Mr.. Hughes's reply was as follows:
II want to say that whether as Judge
OF President I should not have any re-
spect for myself and I would not take
any Office that anybody wanted to give
me. II I took It at the price OF failing
to perform my constitutional duty of
enforcing the laws adopted by the peo-
pie OF the country
There was great cheering. n then
Mr.. Hughes continued:
I'm that case the questions OF facts
were not before the Supreme Court.
They had been decided in the lower court
before n Judge and n jury. The only
question before the Supreme Court was
whether tho trial Judge had erred In
his statement OF the law to the jury.
The our Of which I was a member
could not find any error made by the
trial Judge. That 10 a statement Of that
case which simply represents how a
Judge of our high court endeavored to
do his duty according to h o law OF
the land"
Again there was great applause. and
then Mr.. Hughes talked tariff. Adamson

the Administration for seeking to stir
up class bitterness.

The Governor. while not devoting
much time to a defence Of what he re-
CARDS as trivial and ignorant attacks by
his Democratic opponent. Samuel Sea-
bury. did take a little time last evening
to make a sarcastic reply 20 Judge Sea-
bury In regard to Col. William Hayward.
now n member of the Public Service
Commission.
He cited the charge Of seabury to the
effect that he. tho Governor, had ap-
pointed his friend and fellow Republic
can, Col. Hayward, TO the Public Service
Commission.
Hayward Is a friend OF mine He's a
splendid Republican too. But I would
like to ask my opponent II It Is fair to
assume that because a man Is a Re-
publican, has been a County Judge. has
served as an Assistant District Attorney
and Is n friend of mine hat he Is thereby
disqualified to serve as a Public Service
Commissioner"
Locks for an Apology.
The Governor SAID he had named
seven men as Public Service Commits
| s%ioncrs. but that nobody could say he
had used the Public Service Commits
| sion to fulfil political promises.
"I want to ask my opponent" ne said.
~ he can point to one act one by Mr..
Hayward as Commissioner or one thing
that Mr.. Hayward has done in his whole
life that Is d!screditable. Hal Mr.. Hay
ward lone a single thing hat Judge
Seabury would not have done? Now. !
