ST. LOUIS. Mo-, Oct. 13.-On what
President Wilson considers his lucky
day-Friday the Republt-
can Candidate Hughes swung into
democratic Missouri today, confident
Of making enough votes 70 carry the
Show me" state In Novembee. West
ern republican managers have e1'
pressed great confidence at tfc
chance for sheir ticket carrying in
the state and Hughes. himself,
planned two red hot speeches in
Springfield late this afternoon and y.
Joplin tonight to carry convfncingly
the doctrines of republicanism.
From now on Hughes plans freely
to discuss what he would have done
were he president. The meeting In
Louisville last night took the lid
orr the question Of the submarine
issue. 1t forced Hughes hand to a
certain extent. He had planned to
await until 1t was certain that the
U-53 and the question Of bringing
submarine warfare to American
shores had been disposed Of before
striking out on the question Of how
he would have handled the subma-
rfne matter But his speech at Louis
Vile last night forced an earlier an
swer to the question. Members OF
his immediate party today were jub1-
liant over the reception which Louis
vile accorded his answer. The can-
didate has encountered very few
crowds on all his campaign trips
which accorded him such a whole
souled reception as that at the Ken
lucky city last night. It was a crowd
which appreciated the fact that al
though "heckled" the republican
nominee struck back stronger than
the hit which his Questioner aimed
at him.
Police were powerless to handle
the crowd and there were numerous
comments among Kentucky republi-
cans that the democratic administra-
ton of Louisville provided only two
policemen absolutely hopeless
against the rlob which jammed the
hall-to afford protection to the gov.
ernor and Mrs. Hughes. Mrs. Hughes
got lost from Ter husband in the mob
and those with her had literally to
fight their way to the platform, shield
ing her as much as possible from the
enormous crowd.
Hughes today hoped to s1e2e the
opportunity offered by plenty of
time between speeches to rest. Yes
terday's program in Kentucky greatly
tagged the former justice. At the
Louisville meeting this fatigue was
apparent in his voice and his physician
ordered slow program on the train,
conferences and the like. particularly
in view Of the fact that tomorrow in
Nebraska. Hughes faces program Of
half a dozen talks.
Hughes is beginning to find out
that q candidate not only has to talk
and travel, but must sign hundreds
of autographs, must acknowledge hun
dreds OF small gifts. ranging from
flowers to Indian relics and must take
particular interest in babies named
after him. So far on the trip, he has
received notice of two such infants
who will go through life named
Charles Hughes Something or Other.
One is one of triplets born to
Rochester family and the other was
one of set OF twins born in little
