For the next three days the Repub-

Dividing Up speeches.
To Indiana voters, Hughes expects
to appeal for the most part on the
Democratic tariff and business record.
He has found it impossible to cover
all the ground of his assault on the
Wilson administra ion in short speech
es such as he must make in most of
the cities on his schedule during the
next few days. so he plans to sub
divide his talk-discussing the tariff
in one place, labor in another, Mex
leo, business legislation, etc.
Indiana audiences may expect fur
Their and stronger references to the
Wilson administration course in the
matter of interferences by the British
with American mails. Hughes invari-
ably follow the same couse in de-
veloping his attack on those he takes
great pains to explain are friends and
fellow Americans" on the other side of
the political battle. That course is
first to let drop just a hint until it
becomes one of his main punches"
In Wisconsin yesterday he dropped
that hint early in the day, very much
veiled-but before he left the state he
had expanded it so that the attack
was unmistakable. Those in his party
expect him to come out even more
vigorously in Indiana on this and on
the question of 'Americanism" under
which head the Republican nominee
refers to hyphenism
Kindly of Opponents.
One other thing which was devel-
oped in the governors speeches today

which he is taking the sting out of
his criticisms of the Democrats by dis
claiming any personal issues and laud-
ing them as sincere in their aim.
