 End of Campaign in Middle West
 MT. Hughes wound up his campaign in the middle west with a speech here tonight and left soon afterward for points in New York. the last state in which he will appear before election.
 MT. Hughes made five speeches to- day in which he outlined policies he intends to follow if elected, assailed the administration for the enactment of the Underwood tariff and Adamson law, and expressed the belief that he would win. He spoke tonight before an audience in the wigwam here after reviewing a torchlight parade. Just before his departure the nominee iS- sued the following statement:
 Wonderful Reception in Indiana.
 T am leaving Indiana after what is perhaps the most wonderful reception ever given 8 candidate for the presi- dency.

The men of Indiana have organized a peoples vic tory and I want to thank the leaders of the reunited republican party for their effective work"
 Speaks on the Tariff.
 Mr. Hughes, on his final day in the middle west. devoted much of his speeches to the tariff. He addressed two audiences at Linton and Brazil, composed largely of employees of the coal mining companies.
 We had souphouses and bread lines twenty months ago." he told his au- dience at Linton. land we will have them again if we do not protect to carry-on this business of this coun- try on the policy indicated in the Un- derwood bill.''
 f'When the war orders end," he said at Brazil, under our present policy as embodied in the Underwood bill see yourself going back to work for one or two or three days a week. That is what it means to you"
 Discussed Adamson Bill.
 In his speech here tonight MT. 1iOSIiCo oAoNUSoSA lI4C <ASe14ASOl NH at length.
 q am informed that the general chairman has advised the local chair man of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen and Engineers of the Penn Sylvania lines east that the Adamson bill is establishing a new basis for reckoning wages, will eliminate the payment of all arbitraries which are based upon time made within the first eight hour period of service.
 Uncertainty of the Law.
 'The uncertainty of the law is rec ognized in various particulars. It is said what it will be decided to mean no one can now tell. as it is possible to construe it in several different ways. The chairman also adds: This law does not change the application of the hours of service law. The company still has the right to work you sixteen hours within any A consecutive hours if they do desire.'
 Eafect of Adamson Law.
 q note that the chief of one of the locals of the brotherhood has ascer- tained the effect of the law on those who complete their run in less than eight hours. He says that if man makes a hundred mile run in five hours instead of getting his full days pay he will get only five -eights of a days pay when paid on the eight hour basis. He also says that formerly the railroad men were entitled to pay for 25 miles whenever called out. whether they were used after representing or not. But the Adamson bill enacts a flat basis of eight hours for the pur- pose of paying compensation, while on the other hand it does rot estab- fish an eight hour work day. A Gold Brick for Labor.
 q think it will be found that the Adamson bill is a gold brick for labor ,
