HUGHES HECKLED SAYS
ACT SAME AS WILSON
COLUMBIA, Ind., Oct. 31.—
Heckled by spectators. Governor
Hughes was finally forced into an
ugly corner at a meeting held here
today. He was asked about the
Lusitania case and what policy as
to submarinings would he recognize;
whether American citizens could
travel on armed liners and whether
the protection of the government
would be extended to them so travel
ling; whether shipments of muni
tions would be insisted upon or
abandoned as against the neutrality
of the country.
Hughes endeavored to evade an
swering any of these knotty ques
tions and he used every means to
prevent their being forced upon him.
The spectators however refused to
listen to his attempts to continue
his speech without responding.
Finally, Hughes declared that he
favored the maintenance of every
American right; he supported the
right to travel in the war zone on
any steamer and the right to ship
munitions or contraband.
Hughes thus specifically sup
ported two of the Wilson policies,
relative to the shipment of muni
tions and opposing the McLemore
resolution warning Americans
against travelling on the high
seas, Wilson having person
al}’ conducted the fight
against that resolution. The repub
licans are confident that they will
carry the state and elect two sen
ators.
ATTENTION REPUBLICANS.

FROST WIRES EMBASSY
SURVIVORS MARINA
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 31
Consul Frost of Queenstown wired
the United States embassy in Lon
don that thriteen are missing from
the steamer Marina which was sunk.
Frost says that the survivors have
deposed that the Marina was torpe
doed unwarned in a heavy sea and
sank in two minutes.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 31.—
The German embassy here says
that if a German submarine sank
the Marina unwarned, the comman
der responsible for this act would
be punished and reparation would
be forthcoming.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 31.—
Possibly with a view of its political
significance, reporters, today besieg
ed Lansing trying to get some state
ment from him as to the possible
course to be followed in the matter
of the sinking of the Marina. Lan
sing, usually very freely communica
tive, was most abrupt, and said curt
ly that it wag impossible to discuss
the matter as all reports so far re
ceived were far from complete.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 31.—
The State Department officials note
the British Admiralty's declaration
as to the unprepared state of the
vessel which -was torpedoed. The
Marina according to these reports
carried no arms. Reports indicate
that the submarine also subjected
the doomed ship to gunfire without
any warning. If this is correct it
makes the matter quite serious, that
is admitted by subordinate officials.

REPUBLICANS ARE NOW
SPENDING BIG MONEY
I
LONG BRANCH, Oct. 13.—Wil
son’s lieutenants are now marking
the extreme prodigality of the re
publicans who are trying to stem the
tide that is now sweeping Wilson
wards with great force.
They say however that this eleventh
hour prodigality will avail nothing
even if the democratic funds are
low.
The republicans,have entered upon
an enormous campaign of rush pub
licity at the last minute. Millions
of dodgers, pamphlets, posters and
all kinds of printer’s ink are being
used to boost the cause along. News
papers have whole pages, in some
cases page after page, in large type
advocating the election of Hughes,
making for “protection, prosperity
and preparedness”. The three “P’s”,
as they are called, are everywhere
with Hughes name identified with
the posters and press notices.
It cannot be denied that lack of
funds will seriously hamper the
work of the democrats to off-set this
publicity deluge that the republicans
are making use of to give the voters
the rush act.
Even in this town great placards
are billed everywhere for Hughes
and this condition is general. It is
a wonderful campaign and very ef
fective.
The cost of this advertising must
be gigantic.

V. 1. WILLIAMSON Prop
KOENIG IS CROSSING
WITH HIS I LINER
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 31.—
Reliable reports have been re
ceived from semi official (quarters by
wireless through Sayville that the
submarine liner Deutschland, which
carried such a valuable cargo before
is now once again crossing the At
lantic. Captain Koenig is in
charge.
It is stated that all German sub
marines will make New London or
Newport the port of entry, entering
Hampton roads, fearing nets in
other sections. German experts ad
mit that the net is the greatest
danger which the U boat men have
to face.
LONDON, Oct. 13.—The total
British losses on all fronts in killed
wounded and missing among all
arms during October amounted to
one hundred and two thousand men
and 4.300 officers. The daily aver
age was 3,452 on the Somme front
alone.
LONDON, Oct. 31.—A bitter ano
nymous attack appears in-the Chron
icle considering the month's casualty
list. Clearly due in every instance
to ignorant, incapable, unscientific
officering is the conclusion of this
critic. The manifest incapacity of
the higher officers is considered by
this writer as simply passing the un
derstanding. A demand is made for
ability to replace social standing,
before more lives are sacrificed to
the god of Caste.

LABOR EDITOR RACK
TRACKS ON POLICY
TROY, N. Y„ Oct. 31.—John
O’Hanlon, the editor of the Legis
lative Labor News, whose editorial
endorsing Hughes on his governor
ship record has been widely circu
lated by the republicans, today
comes out flat footed for President
Wilson to succeed himself. He says
that he now supports Woodrow Wil
son for re-election because the pre
sident has earned the united support
of labor and the wage workers
throughout the country by his
splendid program of humanitarian
legislation. “My article supporting
Hughes was written in October
1910”, says Hanlon, in conclusion
I “and it gave Hughes credit for labor
1 legislation in the state of New York.
! My present position is based upon
the fact that since that time Hughes
and Wilson have been national
leaders. Wilson as such has fulfilled
i and more than fulfilled all expecta
tions entertained of him, while
Hughes has not. When Hughes at
tacks the Adamson law, charging
labor with excessive greed and inti
midation of Congress, he really im
1 pugns the sincerity and intelligence
1 of all organized labor. He Reveals
where he stands and no laboring
man wTill support him”.
This statement will not likely ef
| feet any change in sentiment to
' wards Wilson or Hughes.
WARRANTS ARE ISSUED
FOR AUSTRALIAN SLACKERS
MELBOURNE, Oct. 31.—This
country has lost its war fever and
there is no longer enthusiasm.
There are so many deliberately re
fusing to obey the militarist law for
compulsory training that the govern
ment is now obliged to issue war
rants by the wholesale for those who
have failed to come and report
themselves to be taught how to kill
LOCAL ITEMS.
Dog fans are now getting ready
to take part in a Chechaco dog race
which is to be given before the boats
sail. The unusual conditions of
boat departure and trail make the
race possible. With a fall of snow
just sufficient for sledding and.no
more, it is probable the course to
Fort Davis and return will be
chosen. While the date ror the race
has not been decided upon, it is like
ly to be held on Saturday or Monday
next, depending on the date ^of ar
rival and consequent departure of
the boats. The Kennel Club believes
that in this way while many of the
chechacoes have often heard and
read about a winter-time dog race,
this will afford many of them who
come here year after year, an oppor
tunity of seeing the real thing.

The Dream Theater people put
themselves in right with the school
children from every school in town
yesterday when they threw open
their doors to a school matinee in
the afternoon, and there was not a
child to be seen high or low until
after the play was over. Julius
Caesar was never butchered to make
a holiday before a more interested
or enthusiastic or delighted audi
ence than that which faced the
screen at yesterday’s matinee. Mr.
Code declares that they have a num
ber of valuable historical playe
which are of a broadly educational
nature and he proposes to institute
one matinee at least once a montt

and will be greatly appreciated.

LONDON, Oct. 31.—The fighting
on the Somme today is confined al
most wholly to active artillery work,
which continues general along the
whole western front. The German
efforts to regain the trenches, lost
yesterday, have all been repulsed.
PARIS, Oct. 31.—Two heavy at
tempts to re-take Douamont posi
tions were collapsed by the machine
fire of the French and all efforts to
re-organize for further assaults
proved failures under the gruelling
rain of shrapnel which the gunners
piled upon the German ranks.
COPENHAGEN, Oct. 31.—Com
ment is made upon the desperate
nature of the British losses in the
Somme. The gains have been
wholly disproportionate to them.
DEMOCRATS WATCH THE
WILSON RECEPTION BUFFALO
BUFFALO, Oct. 30.—Democrats
are watching the reception which
President Wilson is receiving here,
as it is taken to indicate how public
sentiment stands on the Presidential
issue in New York state.
BUFFALO, Oct. 30.—Democrats
! affect to be delighted by what is
termed the ovation which was ex
tended to Wilson by all classes
upon his arrival here and declare
that it rivals that which he has re
ceived in other cities, not even ex
cepting Detroit.
Republicans affect amusement at
these claims, § declaring that the
Wilson "ovatioil” was the most
chilling kind of a frost.
The reception was moderately en
thusiastic.
ADAMSON CHEERED FOR
SPEECH ON EIGHT HOURS
WILKESBARRE, Oct. 31.—Five
thousand unionists today cheered
the famous author of the Adamson
law. He received an ovation, and
when Adamson declared that the
Wilson way was the only way V1*
other burst of enthusiasm greeted
his remarks. The republican way
was to force a strike and then if the
employers were getting the worst of
it to demand arbitration.
The Wilson way was the better
way: it was first of all to determine
the justice of the cause on either
side and act in order to avoid
strikes.
When Adamson said that this
was the only way, he was then
cheered for fully five minutes by tho
enthusiastic laborites.
Republicans should remember
that the number of Delegates to go
to the next Territorial Convention is
based upon the vote cast for At
torney General.
