Hughes of 159 Weth- ersfield avenue, Hartford, denied to- day the truth of several statements nade in the Herald last Wednesday in an account concerning his moth- er, Mrs. John R. Hughes, who lives on an isolated farm in Southington. Mr. Hughes particularly objected to the statement that Mrs. Hughes had a son living “somewhere in Hartford” from whom she had not heard for about a year. He said that scarcely a week passed that he did not communicate with or visit his mother and he showed a letter which she had written to him with- in_two weeks. When Mr. Hughes' father died he went to live on the farm with his wife, Later, he was forced to leave PINE TREE v design i oterling oilver conceived in the spirit of med- ‘ern Ameriea.

He de- nied that he had neglected his mother and, in proof of his asser- tion, he produced cancelled checks and receipted bills showing that he had paid the tuxes on the farm, paid the water bills, etc, from his own funds. He has engaged labor to asaist his mother, he said, and has often performed laborious tasks at the place. Referring to the state- ment that his mother, who says she is 78 years old, operates the farm, he said that she is unable to do much work and had not milked a cow since she was a girl. In spite of the fact that his own resources are not too large, Mr. Hughes satd that he has strained his own pocketbook at times to be of assistance to his mother. Mr. Hughes formerly lived in this city.

Mr. Borah, who yas regarded by | the republican high command as one of the “siege guns” of its speaking forces will have made his 20 speech- es in 16 states. 13,000 There Before an audience which nearly filled the 12,000 seating capacity of | the Boston Arena last night, the| senator predicted that Hoover would be president “not for the next four years, but the next eight.” He declared the confidence of the voters of the country in the fitness and capacity of Hoover for the na- tion's chief executiveship was a “dominating, directive and controll- ing factor” which pointed toward the candidate's victory next Tues- cday. He characterized this belief in Hoover as “an element in the cam- palgn which pervades tht entire country and cutting across party lines, north and south, his patriotism and 1dealism are appealing to the voters." When a heckler shouted “oil” as problems Hoover would face, if elected, Borah replied that “no one F.|more than myself despises the cow- ;ardly men who defrauded their gov {ernment and betrayed their party. They have been driven into seclus- fon, of them ought to be there.” He asserted, and added, “I do not ‘abk you to judge Gov. 8mith by his associates; it would be too severe.” Finale of Demonstration The senator's speech was the fin- ale of a large demonstration which republican leaders had planned as Do you _LEANING?

McDonough, speaking at a first ward democratic women's card party last night, de- clared for an old age pension in the state of Connecticut, and pledged himselt to work for such a law if elected to the state senate. After reiterating his promise to work for longer voting hours, a ref- erendum on state constitution amendments, repeal of the “water power gift” bill, and repeal of the personal tax law as it affects wom- ! en, Mr. McDonough said: “There Is no issue greater or more | important especially in our factorles where men have climbed the hill of life, reached its summit and are now | traveling down the last long stretch, than the old age pension bill. Our treatment of dumb ani- mals under the law is more ad- {vanced than our treatment of hu- man beings.

Then he was a steady, hard worker, a man who did not abuse himself and a man who was on the job ev- ery day. Now he is ‘Old Bill,’ with- out & job, he is too old, he is not wanted. Morning after morning, noon after noon, he tramps from one factory to another, begging for |work. But he never gets it and per- haps he never will. Why? Because he's too old. Now he's walking the streets, doing odd jobs, fighting heart and soul to keep from going ‘over the hill to the poorhouse,’ while in that factory an alien works !for starvation wages long enough to get money to return to Europe. This is no fiction; I can tell you the name of the factory and the name of the man. “Governor Trumbull and the re- publicans tell you we have a ‘high mark’ of prosperity.
