was also recOmm ended that the sena- torial campaigns in the various states be taken out of the hands of the sen- ate committee and be placed in charge of the national campaign committee.
 Robins Says Moose Are in Line.
 MT. Everhardt before leaving head quarters said he felt sure that all of the middle northwest region would be safely in the republican column. MT. Robins told of @ strong progress sive swing to the republican candi- date.
 Up to the present time," he said, the responsible leadership of the progressive party, the men who had real strength with the people and who pJlled the votes in the day of cur power, without exception, are for Hughes. Take Illinois, for example, We boiled over 3S6,00O votes for Roosevelt in 1912, and next to Penn sylvania, Illinois was the banner pro- gressive state. Today there IS not progressive of prominence in the state who is not supporting Hughes In California, Governor Johnson, who won in the last election by 1S0, 1000, is for Hughes, Francis J. Heney, who was defeated at the same election as the progressive candidate for United States senator by 26,000 is for Will son. Governor Johnson's victory in yesterdays primary in his state, which l understand is now assured, takes California out of the doubtful column and assures it for Hughes.
 Tn New York, Straus, who polled over 3OO,OOO votes as the progressive candidate for governor in 1912, is for Hughes. Bainbridge Colby, who polled only 60,O00 yates as a candidate for senator in 1914, is for Wilson. And so it goes in practically every state. The progressive vote-getters are all for Hughes. Of course Hughes is going to win.'
 H. A. Hopkins of Michigan told Chairman Wilcox that the result of the primaries in his state on Tuesday insures absolute harmony in the re- publican ranks.

HUGHES TRIP 10
 WEST A FAILURE
Distress Signal Run Up at Meet ing of 6. P. leaders

New York, Aug. 31-Dissatisfied with the manner in which the repub- lican campaign has been conducted to date and alarmed over the reports that the western trip of Charles E. Hughes has been more or less g. dis appointment, nine members O. the newly appointed advisory committee Of the national campaign committee held a long conference at headquar- ters, 511 Fifth avenue, yesterday, and decided upon radical change of pro- gram. From now until election day the republican managers will make every effort to retrieve lost ground and put more animation into the campaign.
 Yesterdays conference was the first to be held since the campaign began, and there was a, lot of straight talk" National Chairman William R. Will cox was told bluntiy that MT. Hughes f'swing around the circle was a mis- take, and that a new method of cam paign publicity would have to be adopted from now on if the voters were to be convinced that a change of administration at Washington was desirable. The chairman was in-

T NEVER FAILS TO
 END MISERY OF PILES

Hundreds of people in this vicin- ity," says Peterson, ''know of the mighty healing power of PETER SONS OINTMENT in eczema, salt rheum, old sores, itching skin and fAnd ulcers. They know it cures these aalments-that it is guaranteed to cure them.'
 Now I want to say to every sufferer from piles, either blind, bleeding or itching, that I will guarantee that a 25 cent box of PETERSON'S OINT- MENT will rid you of piles or your druggist will return your money.
 "F'or years I suffered terribly with itching and bleeding piles. I tried everything and despaired of ever get ting rid of them. It gives me great pleasure to state that Petersons Oint- ment entirely cured me, and sincere " recommend it to all sufferers.'- Yours truly, David A. Seymour, Supt. of Parks, Buffalo. N Y.

but I have nothing whatever to say" was his only comment. Chairman Wilcox, in a hurry to depart for In dianapOlis, said the conference was a very fine one.
 We talked over many phases of the campaign he volunteered. We found no suggestion that the cam paign in the west was not successful. l have not heard of any change to be made in the makeup of the campaign committee
 MT. Wilcox then admitted that to all suggestions that the campaign was not going just right he had pointed out that any such drawback was due to it's early start, and that the pri- maries had interfered.
 Victor Rosewater made this state ment:
 The advisory committee held it's first meeting today with a very gratifying attendance All of the members were present except two- Senator Fulton of Oregon and Will liam Ward of New York. The com
 mittee went into detailed discussion of the general situation, and especially
 Tn our respective sections of the country It made suggestions, and a1ter discussing them put them in
 Wrltlng, on which the chairman could
 act had he not already covered the ground. The committee will meet asaln Tn Chicago about September 18."
 Hughes Speeches Lacked a Punch. A member of the committee who
 asked that his name be not used, said
 later:
 Tt was generally admitted at the l conference that everything has not been going just right with the Hugh es trip. There has been much criticism l or MT. Hughes speeches, and we dis | cussed plans to overcome that We l realize now that this trip was planned too early, but MT. Hughes himself is ! primarily responsible for that He wanted to go through the country
 and size things up for himself. Luck fly we have plenty of time to over- 1 come any mistakes that might have l been made. From now on things are 1 going to be different
 1 Some of the members thought that 1 Mr. Hughes lacked a punch in his 1 speeches, and that he should have l given more attention to the so-called 1 hyphen vote, So far as the east is 1 concerned, that may be true, but we
 are going to let T. R. supply what is
 lacking in this regard, and he can be
 depended upon to do it.
 "Out west it is different. Tn my
 part of the country the people do not want that. There Is a large German 1 population in some of the western
 states, and we decided it was better 1 to go lightly on German attacks We al h ct T, l outlook, for there is plenty of time to 1 recover from our mistakes" One of the matters discussed was | the threatened railroad strike. The 1 committee to @ man considered that 1 it would have an important bearing 1 on the campaign, and that it would l not hurt republican prospects.
 We decided to leave that matter
 entirely in the hands of President l Wilson to develop further,' was the
 way MT. Rosewater expressed it. It
New Britain herald., 1916-08-31

formed that there had been too much pussy tIng," especially on the part of the presidential candidate, and that if different method were not speedily employed the committee might have to see Colonel Theodore Roosevelt supplying all the ginger the campaign is to have.
 Members of the advisory committee did everything in their power to keep their deliberations secret. When the conference br~ke up and each mem Der strolled out, the reporters were re- fused information as to what had taken place, and only a perfunctory statement was issued by Victor Rose water of Nebraska, secretary of the conference.
 Hughes Trip a Failure.
 MT. Rosewater said that after a general discussion of the situation, suggestions for future action had been made and put in writing so that the national chairman should know just what particular lines to follow there after.
 Despite the secrecy thrown about the deliberations, it is known that the
 
 for the guidance of the chairman and the campaign committee. All of these bore upon the main fact that the Hughes trip had admittedly been a failure, and that some positive action would have to be taken to make up for lost time.
 | It was the consensus of the con- { ferees that the trip had been a failure 1 l1r 1o1 q aylU V in the campaign, and that the visit | to California with the consequent lining up of the republican and pro- gressive forces was particularly unfor- 1 tunate. It was suggested that if MT | Hughes was to make any more trips | his speeches should be prepared some 1 time in advance, and more care should be given to just what he was to speak about. Several of the mem | hcrs thought it mistake for MT Hughes to ignore entirely the hyphen' ate vote, but others took the view tha this subject could better be left en- tjrely to Colonel Roosevelt.
 Tn answer to the charge of misman agement of the Hughes trip, Chair man Wilcox explained that any ] failure was due more than anything else to the fact that never before haC a republican candidate begun presi | dentiaI campaign SO early; that the midsummer heat had it's effect a! | well as the fact that attention in tht various states was more centered upor primary fights than upon nationa issues. The point was made that thu campaign had reached it's loves about two weeks ago; that the slumI could not go any further, and tha things were now looking up.
 The presence in the conference O Frank H. Hitchcock who managed the Taft campaign of 1908, was re sponsible in @ great measure for tn decision to change tactics and pu more "ginger'' in the campaign.
 MT Hitchcock hurried out of tn conference to go to Indianapolis t take part in the notification cere r,cnies of Charles w. Fairbanks From there he will go to Chicago an, take a vigorous hold on the wester1

There is a ten days suspended sentence standing over him and Judge Meskil called his attention to the fact that if he does not behave it will be enforceS and he would find it much more pleasant as well as more lucrative to work here rather than on Seyms street in Hartford.

campaign until Septem Der IS, when another conference of the advisory committee will be held in that city.
 Wilcox Will Be Guided.
 One thing decided upon was that the advisory committee should take hold of the entire campaign and do all the planning hereafter. Chairman Wilcox is expected to follow it's rec concentrations to the letter. When MT. Hitchcock was asked what the conference decided upon, he laughed and said:
 Well, we had a real pleasant con- ference"
 What did you talk about?'' Politics." he replied with another laugh, and added that at the morning session, the general situation was dis cussed in detail and in the afternoon the recommendations were formulat- ed.
 "Just what were those recommend ations?" he was asked.
 T cannot tell you," was the reply Twill you take an active part in the campaign?" Wait and see," he said
 What do you think of the general situation?''
 Being a newcomer" said N.Y. Hitchcock, with a grin, "don't you think it would be ill-advised for me to make predictions?" Wont you even predict the elec- ton of MT. Hughes7" some one asked MT. Hitchcock acted as if he didn't want to commit himself to this ex- tent, but after moments hesitation he replied:
 'The reason we nominated Mr. Hughes was because we were sure of ! electing him. l have seen no reason to change that opinion" l Among those who took part in the conference besides MT. Hitchcock and Chairman Wilcox were R. Livingston Beeckman of Rhode Island, Theodore F. Burton of Ohio, Charles G. Dawes , and Raymond Robins of Illinois, Victor Rosewater of Nebraska, John Wanamaker of Pennsylvania, A. o. | Eberhardt of Minnesota and James Wilson of LOwa. At noon the mem l bers of the committee were enter tained at the Century club by Herbert Parsons, Everett Colby, George w. 1 Perkins, F. w. Estab and Ava H. 1 Martin.
 All Pledged to Secrecy. The first to emerge from the after noon conference was ex-Secretary Wilson. He admitted the members had decided not to discuss what had l taken place.
 1T have always been free with news paper men when I could," said MT. l Wilson, but today l cannot say a 1 word about the meeting"
 Were any changes in the repub- lican national committee discussed ' he was asked.
 Really, you will have to excuse me-" was his response as he headed for the elevator.
 Raymond Robins, who acted as chairman of the progressive national convention at Chicago, was next ap- preached.
