ence, it was estimated today that the
republican nominee has been seen by
about $4,000 Ohioans and has spoken
to probably $4,000. Despite the fact
that he was almost tired out, and his
voice nearly gone from his three
days tour in Indiana, the candidate
pulled" more new speeches and
touched on more subjects in the
Buckeye state than he has in any pre-.
vious three days of campaigning. Fol-
the most part his critical analysis OF
the democratic administration was
directed at the Adamson eight hour
bill and the Mexican policy-but he
embellished his attacks with a newer
line of logic than he has developed in
some time.
This afternoon Hughes was to make
his first speech in Pennsylvania since
becoming presidential candidate. He
was due to speak at least twice in the
smoky city. Leaving the keystone
state tonight after this one brief ap-
pearance, Hughes was due tomorrow
at Trenton and Jersey City for brief
addresses, swinging northward into
New York state on the day following
Hughes will have at least a weeks
rest in New York City after he re
turns from his present trip on October

sary if the candidate is to finish his

will go down on Long Island in order
