HELENA, Mont, Aug. 12,-Gover-
nor Hughes expects to try q new
campaigning stunt this afternoon. He
joyfully accepted an invitation to de-
scend $500 feet into the depths OF
Leonard copper mine at Butte. Mrs.
Hughes, who hasn't quilted her hus-
bands side through the other hard
ships of the transcontinental trip
which her husband is making to win
votes for the presidency, wanted to
go, but it was decided she had better
not.
John b. Mcintosh Of Butte, who
Joined the republican nominees party
here today. made the announcement
of the governors underground search
for votes. He told the governor the
trip might prove of interest, but he
wanted to warn him in advance that
mines weren't the safest things In
the world and that he did not have
to accept the invitation.
"You can bet want to Co." the
governor responded quickly. There
are lots of men who work IN mines
every day and I'm not In tho least
afraid any way"
The Leonard mine is not the big.
gest of Butte's under earth industries.

ter adapted for sightseeing. The gov
ernor will be furnished with jumpers
and overalls.
Governor Hughes today reached
that point in his assault on the demo-
cratic trenches at which an Euro
pean army commander would report
himself ready for the concerted at
tack at particular point. The re-
publican candidate feels he has done
the preparatory work TN the twenty
four campaign speeches he has made
since leaving New York one week ago
today. He has indicated that his
main reliance in assault is the weapon
of criticism of democracy's alleged
inefficiency. From now on, the gov@
ernor proposes to back up this gen.
eral charge with concerted fire. He
is armed with specific instances
which the republicans claim will sup
port the general allegation. In his
speeches hereafter, he win use this
data to back up his preparatory as
sault.
In the one weeks campaigning to
date, it appears that the republican
main assault will be against demo-
this ineff1ciency criticism will be tho
Mexican policy; the foreign policy;
the pork barrel policy; the pre-
paredness policy; the tariff policy and
the administration policy.
The phrase which has SO far evoked
the most applause from the nominee
auditors has been: I'D like to have
a chance to investigate the democra.
tic administration; and today when
Hughes pulled it, here again in
