OGDENSUCRU. N. Y, Oct. JS.
Charles E. Hughes told an audience
here tonight tbut If he were elected
president he would protect American
rights on land and sea. "There must
be with us, as with our fathers," he
udded, "a willingness to sacrifice for
the country thut we love."
Mr. Hughes campaigned today among
the farmers of northern New York. He
spoke chiefly on Republican policies
affecting agriculture, subordinating
other campaign Issues. The protect-
tive turlff. the competition of Europe
after the wur," und the Adamson low
were the nominee's chief topics. Main
tenance of American rights on land
and sea, he declared, was essential to
all prosperity and progress.
Mr. Hughes was nearly run down by
his own special train at Oswego. A
nervous chauffeur drove the automo
bile containing the nominee past the
landing at the railway station directly
across the trucks in front of the slowly
approaching train. When the engine

chauffeur backed into the car behind
and the engineer Jammed on the emer

which wus mussed about the car, and
no onewas Injured.

REPUBLICAN WINS AT WEDDING

A demonstration showing thut

Wednesday. Two straw votes, one
taken In the Huntley drug store, and
the other at the wedding of Miss Flos

At the drug storo poll Wilson se
cured 65 votes against 44 for Hughes,
while at the party the Republican
nominee was fuvored by 24 and the
Democratic by 7.
The Huntley drug store vote was
part of the national Rexall straw vote
and the store has posted the results
of the national vote to date, giving
Hughes a lead of one vote, on its Main
street windows.
Hughes won a straw- vote at a party

Marie Desclow, aged seven years,
a pupil In McLoughllu Institute, wad
struck by an automobile at Thirteenth
and Muln streets driven by Stanley
Stevenson, formerly a Brownsville
druggist, about two o'clock Thursday
afternoon and died at her home two
hours later. She was the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Desclow, Eigh

father works In a local paper mill.

exclaimed, "My mamma told me to al

and I went down to Thirteenth. What
will she do to me?"
Dr. Strickland took the girl to her j
home, und she died about 4 o'clock.
Stevenson slowed down his machine
when he saw the girl run out from the
sidewalk, he says, and she ran out of '
danger and then turned around and
dashed in front of the machine. Ttib
fender caught her and dragged her on
the paving before Stevenson could
bring his cur to a full stop. Her lung
was crushed und her head bruised.
Stevenson recently sold his drug
store at Brownsville und was on his
way to Portland to sell his automo
bile. He intended to take up the
study of medicine, but this accident,
he told Dr. Strickland, bus about in
duced him to give up the idea.
An inquest will probably be held to
day. The victim of the tragedy was con
sidered one of the brightest pupils in
the Catholic school. She was born in
Switzerland of French purents and up
to a little more than a year ago could
not speak English. - In the short time
she went to McLoughlin Institute she
mastered the language and kept with

HOW ABOUT THE PRIMARIES?
Last May tho regular purty primaries were held. By direct vote, the
Republicans and Democrats selected a county tickeL Among those
selected by the majority party were William M. Stone for district at
torney; Dr. H. A. Dednian, George C. Brovvnell and IL C. Stephens for
the legislature; W. W. Everhart for county assessor; William J. Wil
son, for sheriff, und W. A. Proctor for county commissioner.
Now comes the Democrats with a few nominees. If any Democrats
are elected, it will be by Republican votes, for there are not enough
Democrats In this county to put over a candidate. They ask the Re
publicans to desert the regular, direct primary party ticket and scratch
their ballot.
If you believe in the direct primary system, if you. Mr. Republican,
want the nominees selected at your own primary elected, there Is Just
one thing to do, and that Is
VOTE THE REPUBLICAN TICKET.
