1t was a strenuous wtndup to the
presidential nominees first week of
consecutive campaigning. As he start
ed back to Seagirt, N. J., he said he
was satisfied and pleased both with
the thrill of campaigning and the en-
thusiastic greetings he had received.
The nominees speeches were as
various in the field they covered as
were the events on the days program.
The Governor made speeches on edu-
cation as we'll as politics. In the one
kind he drew attention to the special
ties and distractions of university
life. In the other there stood out
prominently his criticism of board
of experts to handle the tariff or trust
problems. The Governor made his
first reference also to the present cur

Stiff, antiquated and inelastic"
Enthusiasm and demonstration
marked the days events. For the
first time in his life, the Governor

organizers, the county leaders and the
state executives, and with them hun

of our politics, said the Governor to
them, 'is that the Democratic party

In attacking the idea of board Of
experts to handle the tariff question,
he said conditions were constantly
changing with the tariff, as often
sometimes as every twenty-four hours
"You cannot touch one tariff sched-

In speaking of the currency ques-
