BISMARK, N. D., Aug. 11.-With
his voice pretty frazzled out, Presi-
Dental Candidate Hughes today faced
;; what was probably the busiest day
scheduled on his whole trans-contin-
entail trip.
He had eight "end Of the train"
speeches in North Dakota and Mon
tana towns before arriving in Bill
| ings tonight for one of his ''big
speeches." Talks were here. Mandan,
Dickinson, Medora, Beach, Glendive.
Forsyth and Miles City.
Because of the strenuosity of this
program the republican candidate
went on training schedule today.
His voice accustomed for the past
few years to the conversational tone
of the supreme bench, will have to be
coddled along very carefully from
! now on if he is to finish the speak
! ing schedule ahead Of him during the
i next four weeks.
DR.. d. E. Ditman. his physician
and physical advisor on this tour, is
assidously spraying the candidates S
strained vocal chords several times
each day. Governor Hughes is fol-
lowing a suggestion which former
Senator Chauncey M. Depew made to
him at the time he stumped New
York on the anti-track bills, not to
| talk on the train, saving even in con-
versatton, as far as possible, since it
always strains the voice to try to
! talk loud enough to be heard on
moving train.
Hughes is also taking exceeding
care with his diet and is Particularly
! foVy fn hrn r.
fast fruit Is orange and always be-
fore he retires, he drinks the juice
| of one or two oranges. The NOM
inee's voice was very hoarse todaJ
and it is an apparent effort for him
| to talk.
| Mrs. Hughes led gentle rebellion
today. Heretofore local committees
have been anxious to have her sit on
the platform beside her campaigning
husband, but from now on the gov
ernor's helpmate will sit in the aud
| ience.
Il want to be where can hear my
husband and see him when he
speaks" she told Laurence II. Green.
the governors secretary, who is look
ing out for her comfort on the trip
Mrs. Hughes is taking no maid, so
her husband, the republican presi-
Dental candidate, is buttoning dresses
up the back.
Mrs. Hughes seems to be standing
the fatigue of the trip splendidly, al
though she misses no opportunity to
take a walk. Hughes sprang a new
hat today. Half an hour after he had
donned it there was a gaping hole in
the crown. The governor purchased
the new Kelly which is brown
fedora with slightly curled up brim,
in Chicago, and some jealous local
committeeman yanked it down too
hard on the hook today, causing the
hole.
The candidate and Mrs. Hughes
ate real home cooked bread today.
Mrs. Rose E. Upton Bascom of Fargo
baked it Of original Dakota wheat
and sent it to Mrs Hughes last night.
Women for Hughes.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Aug.
11.-A declaration for Charles E.
Hughes in return for his avowal of
federal woman suffrage, was expected
to be adopted at the executive ses-
sion of the woman's party confer
ence here this Afternoon. Non-partis-
an politics pleas by the conference
leaders who strongly favor indorse-
ment OF the repuDllCdH CdHuluale Was
counted on to overcome few social
ist and prohibition delegates who
wish the declaration to stop with
opposition to President Wilson for
his refusal to aid in the passage of
the Susan B. Anthony federal suf-
frage amendment. Announcement Of
election policy will be made at an
open air mass meeting tonight at
which the leaders, including Miss
Alice Paul, Miss Anne Martin, Miss
Gail Laughlin and Mrs. Harriet Stan
ton Blatch, will speak.
The democratic congress came in
for severe criticism in speeches by
Mrs. Florence Bayard Hilles, Mrs.
William Kent and Mrs. Sara Bard
Field at this mornings public session
on the present status of the Anthony
amendment
