Democrats Scahury Dis

TlociiEsTrn, Oct. SO. The plurality
for Unfiles nml Fair-bunks In Monroe
county will not fall below 10,000 nml
H In noro likely to be 14,000, Thin Is
the ctlmntc of OcorKC W. Alilrldge, the
Hpnbllc.in lender, and hU lieutenants.
The Democrats, pllt Into two faction

curacy, Tha flfrurei Riven mean that a re
united ltcpubllc.tn party In Monroe
county la preparing to roll up on old
fnshlonnl vote for the national ticket
It expect to do even better for Oov.
Khllman . not that Whitman la stronger
thnn JluKlios, but bccaue he ha a
weaker opponent.
Aldrldge to-day, having In mind con
dition In other parts of the Htato at
xvell ii h In his own county, expressed
nhitoluto confidence In the election of
both 1 luetics and Whitman, lie and
othir ltepubllcan -leaders sajr that
plurality of l&o.uoo In Greater New York
would iiot save Wilson, and they believe
be will bo Incky If ho comes up to the
Uronx line with I'd, 000.
In thin city a Hughes lluslnes Men's
League Is lolnn great work for the lte-pulill'-.m
candidate. It has something;
like 13,1100 members, hundreds of them
Dttnocr xvho are putting the busU
nes welfare of the country above parti
san considerations. Tho support which
lteuVtauUc buvlncjs -men are givlhg to
Mr. llUK-lios In Kochrstor Is duplicated la
very city In the State.
1,400 1'actorlrs In City.
Rochester Is a city of manufactures.
Tho business census shows there are
nearly 1.4U0 factories of one kind and
another In the city. CanvtuMt-a made by
the Hughes liuslnpsa Men's League
make It clu.ir that the votes of the fac
tory employees will gq with a strong
propondrrance for Hughes. The factory
voter are looking ahead to conditions
when the war In Kurove ends. They
wish tho protection of a Republican
tnade tariff.
Defection from the Republican ranks
among railroad men Is admitted; It Is
lets now than It threatened to be two
weeks back. Compared with the gain
Hughes has made among the factory
workers It W almost negligible.
A significant thing during the recent
registration wns the Increased Repub
lican enrolments. Tlw party enrol
ments will not be made public officially
until next January, but the leaders on
both sides were able to get a rood Una
On them, hs this year the law did not
call for the enclosure of the enrolment
blank In an envelope as formerly. Ia
thousands of canes the voters after regis,
terlng did not go Into a booth to mark
their enrolment blank, but put their "X"
in the party circle In view of the regis,
tratlon clerks.
Former l'logrcsslvcs did this In groat
numbers, and voters known as Demo
crats of long standing frequently made
It a point to enroll openly as Itepubll
cans, wishing to have no secret about
their rhange In politics. Republican
leaders say no mote convincing refuta
tion could be desired of tho claims of
VIIon campaign managers that the
trend of sentiment Is nil toward the
'resident. It is only one of many evi
dences, they say, of the militant spirit
of the Hughes vote.
InlrlmnUs Well I.lkcd.
It Is not often that a candidate for
Vice-President figures in campaign col
culatiinui, but Charles W. Fairbanks Is
regarded litre as a distinct element of
strength. The business men like Fair
tanks, old line Republicans admlm him,
and former Progressives remember that
he ran with nnd was clecU-d with Theo
dore Roosevelt. Many of the Influential
men of Rohe.ter are personal friends
of tho Vicc-Presldtntlal candidate and
ound his praises.
The neighboring counties of Genesee
(i ml Livingston with the r urusutroua
farming communities give no nign, of
ureawng away iroin their Republican
traditions. As In the caso of the farm
ers In .Maine the farmers of westnrn
New York look on the Underwood tariff
as having been framed by Democratic
politicians from Southern States who
wero thinking of other things than the
interests or farmers in tho North.
Tho Democratic National Committee
has tent tons of literature Into the
farming districts around here, but from
what is learned the converts to Wilson
Jiavn Deen so few that tho cost of the
propaganda may be said to be amomr

Krnost Cawcroft, a former Progres
sive leader in Chautauqua county, Is
campaigning fqr Benbury. Thus far he
does not appear to have carried with
him Into the Tammany camp any con
siderable number of his former Progres
siva associates In Jamestown. Chautau
qua county Is believed to be good for ono
of Its old tltno pluralities for both
Hughes and Whitman.
In Cayuga and Seneca counties the
denunciation of Gov, Whitman by
Thomas Mott Osborne, formerly warden
of Hlng Sing Prison, Is raid to bo Injur
ing the Governor to pome small extent.
Kxccpt In his home county of Cayuga
and Its vicinity the Inlluencc of Osborne
Is not appreciable The Indications point
to a Whitman plurality so largo that a
few hundred votes more or less will not
be Important.
Judge Srnbury's campaign has been
a conspicuous failure. There Is no dis
agreement between Democratic and Re
publican leaders on that point. The
Democratic Govrnorshlp candidate has
addressed fairly good audiences, but he
has not Impressed them favorably. His
own party leaders describe Urn as cold ;
his speeches, they say, are not con
vincing, nnd they express astonishment
at his unfamlllarlty with State affairs.
Theso Democratic admissions are
mado reluctantly, for the fact M the
Democratic leaders are far more In
terested In electing Feabury nnd their
State ticket than they are In the success
of President WIIon. Their feellns
toward Seabury may bo Imagined when
they discovered his one chance of elec
tion was In being pulled through by the
Wilson sentiment. As the -Presidential
electors are on a separate ticket this,
they recognlred, was not a good chance,
even assuming that Wilson might bo able
to carry the State.
FORD WRITES FIRST

Motor Car Manufacturer to
Start Publicity Compalgn
in Few Days.
Henry Ford will start his JloJ.OOO
advertising campnlgn In behalf of the
Democratic ticket In the next few days,
according to n statement Issued last
night by the Democratic National Com
mittee. Advertisements reciting the
achievements of the Wilson Administra
tion nnd Mr. Ford's reasons why the
rMBAn. imlnl.tpqHnn ufonula ti.t foil-
tlnued In office will be placed In &oo
newspapers throughout the country. '
t:ach ndx-ertlscment will be signed by
Mr. Ford.
Tho first advertisement to bo pub
lished will take tip half a page. It wilt
bo headed: "Humanity And Your
Vote."' Hero are a few of Mr., Ford's
sentiments which will appear In the
ads:
"Ho (President Wilson) Is entitled to
be rewarded for his great service to
mankind, and the only way we can re
ward him Is by giving him the oppor
tunity to be of still greater service.
"Although nominally a Republican all
my life, I am for Wilson, and urge my
fellow citizens to stand for htm because
he has kept us out of war and has
done much to bring about the remark
able prosperity which we enjoy, and be
cause Wall Street Is against blm.
"We should guard vgalnst Wall Street
Influences again securing control of our
Government. They have been rooted
out during the last four years, and the;
are working hard to get back.
"All other great nations are being
consumed and destroyed, but we have
peace with honor nnd our boys ore at
home. Special Interests are demanding
war and the President Is being criti
cised with many words, but stripped of
all unnecessary words their real com
plaint Is that he has not plunged the
country Into war for their profit.
"I am for Wilson because he has
caused to be passed a large number of
wise and humane laws, most of which
had been promised by the politicians f
both parties for many years without
fulfilment. No one class has been
favored, no one disregarded. He has
served the. United, States as a whole."
HUGHES FOR CIVIL SERVICE.

Wilson let an Point.
This telegram from Charles K. Hughes,
addressed to the secretary of the Civil
Service Reform League, was given out
last night: (
On account of my absence on cam
paign tours It has been Impossible to
give your letter of September 26 earlier
attention. You say that the National
Civil Service Reform League has en
tered upon a campaign for legislation
which will provide for the competitive
classification of first, second and third
class postmasters, and you ask whether
I would favor or oppose legislation to
accomplish such extension of the classi
fied service. I beg to say that I favor
such legislation.
The association said It had addressed
a similar Inquiry to President Wilson
and had as yet received no reply.

WANAMAKER URGES
ELECTION OF HUGHES
Lacks Some of the Advertising
,in Effort to Put Nation
on Hlght riano.
POINTS NEED OF TARIFF
Fears Cheap Foreign Products
After War nnd Lowering
of Wages Here.
John Wnnamaker ndmltted yesterday
that ho was behind some of the large
advertisements which have liecn appear
ing lately favoring the election of
Charles E. Hughes. When asked what
had cauied him to launch such a cam-
iPalgn Mr. Wannmakcr said:
I "What I have done Is very little, but
' It has liecn dono gladly. Kvery patriotic
American, realizing the great need for
resourceful and Immediate action In view
of tho crisis faced by the nation, ought
to be grateful for the opportunity to
help hold up the hands of Chairman
Wllloox, George W, Perkins and the
score of other able men who are un
selfishly giving all their time, day and
plght, and much of their money, to re
habilitate the United States In the eyes
of the world, and restore American self
respect and security by tho election of
Mr, Hughes.
"Picaso understand that by security
I do not mean mtlltay or naval se
curity, but what Is many times more
Important, the eecurlty of the funda
mental strength of the nation.
MBit Have Spiritual Strrnxth.
"We must have spiritual. Industrial,
agricultural, mercantile and financial
strength, from which alone can coino
nnd which can support military and
naval strength when this proves neces
sary. "It seems so plain and simple to me,
and )et ho many of our conscientious,
well meaning citizens do not r-eem to un
ilrrstand that without a proper protec
tive tariff the bottom of the nations
prosperity drops out, and our people aro
sent to the bread line nnd soup houes In
numbers that shock thoughtful men.
"No matter what politicians may tell
you. It Is a plsln. hard, cold fact that
American workmen will not work arid
no good American wants them to do so
for the small wages paid In furelgn
lands, and If low paid foreigners make
n good articles and send them here to
sell at half or two-thlrda the cost of
American made articles, the foreign
articles will sell nnd tho American fac
tory will reduce Its help or shut down
entirely. Men out of work by the hun
dreds of thousands, as they were under
the existing Democratic Urlrf Just be
fore the outbreak of the war, cannot
support their farnlllrs and cannot buy
farm products. It is Just as Important
to the farmer as to tho factory worker
or owner that a protective tariff bo
maintained.
"Kery American's prosperity Is equally
Involved. If a man cannot hae the
opportunity to work nnd support his
family he cannot proWd'o either neces
saries or luxuries for them. If half or
one-quarter of the men In the country
nro thrown out of work there Is com
petition for every place and the pay of
labor drops, automatically cutting off the
bvpc of tho comforts of modern life."
Ileal Turin Wall .Needed.
Mr. Wanamaker said that ho wanted
to see every working man employed at
good wages and if foreign made prod
ucts were not to absorb tho pay and
prosperity of the working men a tariff
wall should be built of a height that
would represent the difference In the cost
of labor and materials.
"If America Is to be first in the
family of nations," nald Mr. Wanamaker.
"tlrst In Justice, llrst In generosity, ilrst
In Inspiration to all strucglliig mankind
tho nation strongest Industrially, com
mercially, financially and In every olher
way wo must closo and lock the flood
gates before the deluge from Uurope
reaches ui., and the only party which
will close them, lock them nnd throw tho
key away is the Republican party,
"I have abiding confldenco in tho In
telligence of my fellow countrymen nnd
I bt-lleve they will cast a vote for their
working men neighbors, for thtlr own
home and for their own country in this
election."
In a telegram sent to tha Commercial
Travellers Sound Money League, Whole
sale Dry Ooods 'Association and other
organizations Mr. Wanamaker urged
evory nam to set aside part of eacli day
to work for Hughes and to strike "while
the Iron Is hot."
From information ho was receiving
from all over tho country Mr. Wana
maker said he believed Mr. Hughes
would win.
"Hut nothing Is ever euro until It Is
accomplished." ho added, "and to make
the faet sure let each man Iteep working
and do his best."
HUGHES'S PSYCHOLOGY "BAD."
Prof. Shavr of jr. V. V. Will Walk
on III. Knees If Wilson Loses.
"If Hughes wins It will be In spite of
his bad psychology, and if Wilson wins It
will be because of It." said Dr. Charles
Gray Shaw, professor of psychology nt
New York University, when speaking of
Ills views yesterday on tho coming elec
tion. "Hughes started In by slandering
nnd criticising Wilson, and thought that
this was what Americans wanted, Willie
ho was a great Judgo, ho can never bo
u great statesman becauuo of his bid
psychology."
Dr. Shaw Is tho man who recently
caused much comment by walking from
Philadelphia to New York within twen-ty-four
hours. He lives In Asbury Park,
and Is going to walk on election morn
ing from thero to Freehold, a distance of
twenty miles, to get n court order to
vote. On tho primary day ho was visit
ing In the State of Mississippi,
"If Wilson loses." bo sulci, "I wm
walk back from Freehold to Asbury
Park on my hands and knees."
Dr. Shaw was Instrumental In forming

In explaining change 25 Mr. Seabury
cald :
"Gov. Whitman appointed William
llayward to ther Public Service Com
mission. Mr. llayward had none of the
qualifications requisite for that office.
He had not lieen a cltlren of tho State
or the city long enough to acquaint him
self with our transit needs. When Mr.
Whitman appointed him he admitted
that It wns a personal appointment Mr.
llayward has been moro Interested In
pushing tho Governor's political fortunes
than In discharging the duties for which
the city pays him 115,000 a year."
Mr. Seabury predicted Democratic
success In nation and State In addressing
3, SOD persons In the New Star Culno,
lflth street nnd Park nvtnue. "Tho
Republican leaders In this State are In
a iKtnle." h said "It Is certain that
President Wilson wjll carry the State

this meeting. He defended the acts of
the Wilson Administration. Mr. Hvabury
spoke also In the public school nt 220
Kast I'orty-eecond street and In the Har

he said. "It Is to bo hoped that New

The Governor took up the chargo mado
by Seabury that tho present adminis

the New York Civil Service Reform As
sociation to show tint this organization

service reform In the last two years.
He also referred to the fact that two
of Seabury's campaign committee have
written high praise of Samuel Ordwiy,
appointed chairman of the State Civil
Service Commission by Gov. Whitman.
The Seabury pamphlet accuses Presi
dent Ordway with having "condoned
flagrant violations of civil service rules
and regulullom by thi local body In
Ni w York city" and asserts that "Gov
Whitman announced that tho salaries
of the civil Service Commission, rs
would be cut from i.'.OOO to 13,000"
nnd that no such reductions wero made.

C'hpnge In Ohio.
Tho reception Mr. Hughes got to-day
In Ohio was as different from that ac
corded to him on two previous visits to
the Stnto as can well be Imagined.' Tha
Apparent hostility thnt was discernible In
Industrial communities, labor centres,
has disappeared, giving way to friendli
ness. Whero apathy, even sutlcnness
was noticeable on the former Ohio tours
keen Interest was obvious to-day.
A month ago two weekn ago Ohio
Uadcrs, Republicans with finger tips
moro or less sensitive to the throbs of
p.ubllo opinion, were disconsolate nnd
discouraged, ready to quit with an ad
mission that Ohio was hopelessly lost.
To-day one found this typo of politician
hustling and hopeful, ready to argue
down any prediction of Republicans dis
aster In tho Htato of McKlnley and Taft.
To-day one found them saylag that the
mysterious "drift to Wilson" had ended
and that a tide for Hughes Is plainly
manifest.
They may be right or they may be
wrong, but It Is a fact that the Hughes
meetings In Ohio on the present trip
were far more responsive and were rela
tively bigger than on tho other tours.
More public Interest generally was
shown. Wherever Mr. Hughes appeared
to-day there were large crowds nwaltlng
him at railroad stations. In the streets,
capacity crowds In the halls and enor
mous gatherings In open air meetings In
public squares.
There was a better feeling all around.
Nn man Is more sensitive to such mani
festations than Mr. Hughes. It is violat
ing no confidence to write that he was
disappointed on his previous visits. It
Is within tho limits of propriety to say
that ho was qulto delighted to-day.
He made seven speeches before 30,000
persons, beginning at Kast Liverpool this I
morning and finishing here In Columbus
to-night. It wns an Interesting day be-
cause Mr. Hugliei. made a bold foray
Into a section of Ohio where the Wilson j
managers havo been extremely busy and
with much profit, by there own accounts t
tho Industrial strip that lies in tno
Ohio River Valley, a strip where many
thousands.' of men aro employed In pot
teries, in steel mills. In rallroad shops
and In a variety of factories.
The warmth of his welcome along the
Ohio River was all the more Impres
sive because of the fact that the ma
jority of the audiences was made up of
men supposed to be won over to Wilson
because of the Ad unson bill ami the
high wages of present prosperity.
Mr Hughes, In vinoious trim after
his rest at Ogdcnsburg, began the day's
work at Kast Liverpool, the largest
pottery centre In the country ; a tariff
Interested centre. It waa Hast Liver
too that powerfully supported Major
McKlnley from tho day be was sent to
Congress. Tile meeting was held In the
public square beforo 10,000 persons.
Mr. Hughes devoted a larse part of
his speech to the tariff argument, point
Ingoutthat tlie I'nderwood liw wrecked
prosperity twenty months ngo and will
smash It ngiln whin the wnr end uti
les a tariff wall Is built against the
nulckoned competition of n new, ener
gised Kurope. Noting that the Presi
dent had denied that Uuropo would bo
able after the war to compete seriously
with this country. Mr. Hughes referred
to statements mado In New York last
werli by IMwin N. Hurley, chairman of
President Wilson's Federal Trade Com
mission, statements) that exactly con
tradicted his chief.
Mr. llurlo's Prediction.
Mr. Hurley said that "Curopo Is re
awakening her Industries," that "every
rfTort Is being made to attain the hlgh
tst etilclenrv In the production, the dls-
I trlbutlon nnd in the use of commndl
' Cos of nil kinds"; that "the war has
i compelled Great Hrlta'n to make thirty
ve.irH nf Industrial progress In thirty
, mi titbit." and that "the Germany th it
I emuigcs from the war will be years
nhead of the Germany we knew In U'H."
In his own way, always a restrained
! nnd dignified way, Mr. Hughes slapped
nt the President pretty hard, saying:
"Wo want to tlnd out what is fair and
'square and then ( go to It fairly and
squarely, noi mr poruianiy or .un- no
ting." Again, "I am a man of peace,
but thero Is no pence for a people that
does not keep Its self-respect or that
does not command tho respect of the
world."
After nddresslng tho pottery workers
nt Kast Liverpool, Mr. Hughes went on
to Wellsvillo and talked for a few min
utes beforo a crowd of railroad men.
who were extremely attentive and
friendly. A- few miles further along the
train slid Into a clnmor of shrieking
whistles, factory nnd locomotive, nnd
stopped at the yard gates of the Carnegie
Steel Company's plant nt Mingo Junc
tion, Probably 3.000 nf the workmen
crowded to tho rear of tho train to
LIBERTY
"site up" the Republican candidate, and
railroad engineers added to the ginger
of tho occasion by keeping their hands
on the steam whlstlo valves.
Then came Stcubenvlllc, with another
outdoor meeting of 10,000 and another
big reception all around. In Steuben
villo Mr. Hughes suggested that no ono
need worry about the patriotism of tho
town which produced Kdwln M, Stanton.
Talking about the tariff ho remarked
that ho had too much rcspoct for tho
common sense of the American people
not to believe that they would reject
tho Underwood tariff law.
Effect nn Labor.
At Dcnnleon ho repented certain de
nunciations of tho Adamson bill, telling
a Inbor audience they, would lnd It' a
gold brick. All through Ohio ho was
frank to say that he npproved of the
principle of nn eight hour day, but thnt
he objected to a fako eight hour bill,
which was merely cJass legislation for
a selected group and nt the expense of
alt working people, legislation obtained
by a surrender of principle nnd a threat
of force. There 'aro multiplying signs
In Ohio, locnl leaders now report, thnt
Mr. Hughes's Adamson bill talks havo
stopped tho blind rush ot labor to Wilson
ranks.
At Zanesvllle, the sixth stop of the
day, Mr, Hughes spoko In Memorial Hall
before an audience of 2,r00, after a
crowd of 8,000 had cheered htm In the
streets. Ho expressed Indignation over
Democratic assertion that Hughes rs
President meant getting the country Into
war, and again Insisted thnt "a vote
for me means peace, hut also means
the maintenance of our nntlonnl self
respect, so thnt American rltUens who
carry enterprlso abroad will feel safe
under tho folds of our flag."
"It l the willingness to sacrifice that
makes a nation great," said Mr. Hughes.
"The profoundest word In philosophy Is
that ho who would save his own life
must lose It that Is to say, must be
wilting to pay tho price of a sacrifice
and we In this country must retain the
courage and Indomitable spirit of those
who founded our country If our country
Is to be preserved."
Mr. Hughes again emphasized his
warning thnt now, not later. Is the time
for American cltlsens to take thought
about the future, to plan good govern
ment policies to meet the dlsclpllno and
energy of an awakened Kurope.
"I do not know what men are thinking
of," said Mr. Hughes, "who spqak of the
nations of Kurope as so utterly ex
hausted and wasted by war as not to bo
able to enter Into a very keen compctl- I
lion with tho labor of this country. 1
There will be more men ready for pro
ductive activity than the.re were two
years ngo. That Is, those that. have been
killed or permanently Impaired aro less
In uumbir than the average Increase of
the industrial population as It moves
forward. Their war plunts are avnllublo i

In his talk on the Adamson law he dc- ,
nounced efforts to stir up class on-
