FARMERS SIZE UP HUGHES
AS "PRETTY GOOD FELLOW"

Fargo, n. D.-Charles Il. Hughes
campaigned for the first time among
the sturdy farmers of the eastern part
OF North Dakota and left behind him
the reputation Of being pretty good
fellow"
He was forced to undergo critical
scrutiny before the verdict was given.
Mr.. Hughes preached the doctrines
of government efficiency, Americanism,
tariff as protection to the farmers and
preparedness, and in each instance won
applause, despite the fact that tho
farmers are not the strongest advo-
Gates Of the last named issue.
They cheered for preparedness the
loudest when Mr.. Hughes told them
that 1t meant not mlitarism, but abil-
ity to uphold national honor.
As they cheered for Mr.. Hughes one
broad shouldered old farmer said, ITS
because there's something about him
that makes you believe he's telling the
truth"

The advent Of two railroads building
neck and neck across the desert
through the little town had naturally
stirred every inhabitant of it to a high
pitch Of excitement. Small wonder
