CHICAGO, Aug. 8.-Charles Evans
Hughes is out-Roosevelting Roosevelt
in strenuosity in campaigning. Ar
irving here today, the republican
nominee was fresh as daisy after
day in Detroit that kept him on
the jump, in fiercely hot weather,
from early morning to late at night,
included six speeches and a break
neck bit of auto speeding around the
town. Moreover, Hughes seemed
likely today to achieve a new record
in Chicago for stumpers.
Only one speech was scheduled-at
the Coliseum, where back in June
the G.. 0. P. selected him as its can
didate-but the nominee had to
straighten out slightly tangled up
factional muss between republicans In
Illinois, was expected to put the seal
of approval on a number of cam
paign measures for the western fight
formulated by National Chairman
Wilcox and it seemed likely he would
have a good deal of handshaking to
do.
He was slated for conference with
Chairman William r. Wilcox, Alvin
T. Hert of Kentucky, western cam
paign manager and national commit
teeman. At noon he was to hold an
open handshaking reception in the
rotunda of a loop skyscraper. TINS
afternoon he will be taken for an
auto tour of Chicago's boulevard sys-
tenn. Tonight he will address mass
meeting at the Coliseum.
Mrs. Fred Upham, wife of the 1lli-
nois national committeeman, formed
the head of a party Of women who
greeted Mrs. Hughes. The candidates
wife will have a busy day, too.
Only Just started in his campaign
ing for the highest Office in the land.
Hughes today had already developed
an almost Rooseveltian vocabulary of
denunciation and Of aphorism. Some
Of his epigrams coined SO far are:
.'The democratic party is party
for votes only"
'.The democratic party came up to
this protection tax like a skfttish
horse approaching brass band"
1--WE are entitled to standing
army, without taking men out of civil
life. as in the Mexican mobilization,
Just as much as city is entitled to
proper police protection
"The military problem Is problem
OF good sense"
"There's no danger of our going to
war unless the other side knows that
we're too proud to fight
The best way of making for efh-
cheney is by making for content
ment."
