FARMERS SIZE UP HUGHES ~
AS PRETTY GOOD FELLOW"

Fargo, n. D.-Charlcs Il. Hughes
campaigncd for the first time among
the sturdy farmers of the eastern part
Of North Dakota Gnd left behind him
the reputation OF being pretty good
fellow"
He was forced to undergo n critical
scrutiny before the verdict was given.
Mr.. Hughes preached the doctrines
OF government efficiency. American
ism, tariff ms protection to the farm
ers and preparedness. and In each In
stance won applause. despite the fact
that the farmers are not the strong
est advocates OF the last named issue.
They chcered for preparedness the
loudcst when Mr.. Hughes told them
that II meant not militarism, but abil-
ity to uphold national honor.
As they chccred for Mr.. Hughes.
one broad-shouldered old farmer said
"it's because there's something about
him that makes you believe he's tell
Ing the truth"
The Muskogee cimeter. [volume] (Muskogee, Indian Territory, Okla.) 1901-19??, 1916-09-02
ATTRACTS BUSINESS MEN.

Mr.. Hughes has not tried to scare
anybody, but has merely portrayed
the errors Of the present Administra-
tion and set forth certain principles
on which the affairs Of the country
should be managed in the future.
There Is a political logic In this por-
trayal, the elimination of which In the
mind of the voter Is expressed by the
frequent remark:
"Ile Is the kind Of man we want to
steer US through"
This has been said by many busi-
ness man. The qualities seen In Mr..
Hughes are pOise, n strong, sane mind
sincerity and willingness to sacrifice
llfe physical or political, to the good
of the country. Nor Is there any ques-
ton as to the quality of nerve to meet
the emergencies of the four years be-
ginning March 4, 1917.
