HUGHES VISITS Scene
Of CHILDHOOD Times
Shows Wife Spot Where Favorite Cal
Had Fight One Day.
(Bx the Information,

(By the international News Seryice.)
New York, Oct. 6.-Charles E. Hughes
today re-lived some OF the happiest days
of his childhood. With Mrs Hughes, the
Republican Presidential candidate visited
his fathers old home place at 164 Elm
street, Newark. The trip from Mont
Clair was made by motor.
Yes, there's the place" exclaimed Mr..
Hughes reminiscently. as the auto drew
up in front Of the old house. surrounded
by aged elm trees.
1t was in the Newark home that the
candidate lived from 1869 to 1874
Alighting from the machine Mr.. Hughes
first showed his wife the spot where his
favorite pet cat had a fight one day.
Next he pointed out a room where he
took music lessons
II shall never forget that room as long
as l live" he said
Glancing at the house on the adjoining
lot, Mr.. Hughes recalled an important
incident OF his boyhood. He said:
Il was playing on that lot over there
one day with my little chum. There was
no house there then. A man came walk
ing along the road and my playmate
tried his Workmanship. He aimed a large
chestnut burr at the strangers head 1t
struck the man squarely on the cheek.
| stood right here Indicating the spoO
laughing.
The burr must have stung the fellow
badly. for he came straight over and
knocked me down. I rolled all the way
down to the foot Of the little embank-
ment"
Tonight Mr.. and Mrs Hughes were the
guests at dinner Of Charles E. Hughes,
jr.. at Glen Ridge, N. ].
A citizens committee OF 200 will give
an informal reception to the Presidential
candidate and his wife tomorrow aft
ernoon in Mont Clair. Representatives
from all OF the clubs will attend. Resi-
dents of Mont Clair have been requested

VETERAN REPUBLICAN
STRONGLY FOR WILSON
James Kennedy. Former Congressman
from Ohio, Praises President.
Special to The Washington Herald.


Youngstown, Ohio, Oct. 6.-James Ken
nedy, who for four successive terms rep
resented McKinley's old district in Con-
gress, is an advocate Of President Will
sons reelection. A lifelong Republican,
he has publicly announced in a letter to
the Youngstown Vindicator his complete
abandonment Of the Republican party and
its national Presidential candidate.
The letter is in part as follows:
Il think that the Congressional action
taken when the Adamson bill was passed
is altogether the best piece of legislation
that has been enacted by Congress dur
ing my lifetime. It recognizes complete
ly for the first time, the right OF Con-
gress under the commerce clause Of the
Constitution, to fully and completely reg
ulate the nations great highways. It
recognizes that the trainmen are pub
lie servants, that the public pays their
wages. The railroad corporations are
only trustees.
THE regulation Of the public's own
roads is peculiarly the business OF the
people in America, and every other ques-
tion in this campaign dwindles into in
significance compared with this ISSUE
Briefly stated, as I conceive 1t, 1t Is:
Shall the people at last be permitted to
have something to say about that which
is peculiarly the peoples own business,
to-wit: Management and regulation Of
their public highways7
Congress long ago should have taken
charge and completely regulated the in
struments of interstate commerce, and
great highways OF the nation between
the cities. And this belated movement
in the right direction must not be re-
pudiated now by the people unless they
expect to be slaves OF invisible govern
ment' forever"
