HUGHES
TALKS ABOUT BRYAN
TELLS hEsRAskA. .I PEOPLE THEY
SHOULD NOT VOTE FOR HIM.

having spoken In fourteen towns, all
within q radius OF 3 few hundred
miles Of the home Of the Democratic
candidate for president, Governor
Charles q. Hughes OF New York, In
a speech here tonight, declared he was
convinced that .Atthe voice OF Mr.. Bry-
ans own county would not be the
weakest in reputation OF the Bryan,
and reanrming the Roosevelt policies
next month"
At Lincoln Governor Hughes was es-
corted through the streets by Govern
or George L. Sheldon Of Nebraska in
an automobile decorated with q large
placard bearing the words: Hughes
1912-Sheldon 1915"
Enthusiastic crowds greeted the
New York governor when be spoke
from the train at Ashland, Havlock,
York and other stops.
The yells Of cowboys and the music
OF q brass band from e wild vest
show Joined in the turnult Of greeting
at Grand island.
The public schools at Kearney were
dismissed to allow the pupils to hear
the governor.
At Hastings tonight Governor
Hughes reached the extreme western
part OF his tour.
II can well understand the local
pride that is felt in this state for the
eminent man who Is q candidate fol
the great ohice Of president" said
Governor Hughes. II well appreciate
the pride which every citizen feels in
his career and aspirations. But the
issues in this campaign transcend any
question Of loyal pride. I have ad'
mired Mr.. Bryan's oratorical ability
respected his sincerity and wondered
at his imagination. I have been struck
with his astounding political vitality
Why is It that for the third time be
presents himself for the suffrage d
the people. MI. Bryan has set himself
up as an advocate Of reform, he has
proposed to do much that would moi
lbe in his power to do If elected and
he has proposed to do a great dea,
more in q legislative way that is Who'll
lily unavoidable and chimerical.
None Of Mr.. Bryan's new schemes
have been tried and I feel sure tina
if you analysed them and imagined
them for a moment to be in working
order, you would not wish them to b,
tried. We want no experiments tina
might throw the American republi,
into the hands Of a receiver. We wan
to cure abuses, but We cannot climl
high unless we keep q steady head
We cannot effect reforms by the viz
ions Of a night. We must eradicat'
evils. without threatening our pros
perity and institute progressive ideal
without resort to fanciful programs
Having met all classes Of people II
this state, l am convinced that Ne
sDraska @ls going 70 vote TOT cont1nue'
progress.
we have as the Republican cand!
date a man whose ability has bee
tried in two most important fields Q
governmental endeavors. He went L
the Philippine islands and settled am
cably and without ostentation a diff
cult problem. His action as a judg
previously had been dictated by q dt
sire to administer justice with specia
favor toward no class. He comes hi
fore you now as a candidate, far r
moved from proposals gotten up I
please the popular fancy, an homes
simple, able man, on whose whole c,
reer not q blemish can be found.
