HUGHES STRENGTH
ON THE INCREASE
A. w. Jefferis Says Visit to
State Made Him Much
Stronger.
SITUATION IN HAMILTON

Lincoln, Oct. l9.--(Special. 1.-The
visit of Charles E. Hughes to Omaha
brought about change of sentiment
favorable to the republican candidate
for the presidency, which is marked
on every hand, according to A. w.
Jefferis OF Omaha, member OF the ex-
ecutive committee of the republican
state committee, who had business in
the supreme court today and held a
conference with Chairman Beach of
the state committee after the case he
had in court had been argued.
Il know many men in Omaha who
were openly advocating the re-elec-
ton of Mr. Hughes" said Mr.. Jefferis
1.-THE mastery address Of Judge
Hughes satisfied them that he was
the man to -hapdle the affairs OF this
nation during the next four years,
when the greatest problems a nation
ever had to settle will come up. /
think his visit to Nebraska simply
means that Nebraska can be counted
for Hughes. can see no other ending
of the campaign but that, because of
the rapidly changing sentiment"
This appears to be the opinion of
every man who visits headquarters. F.
E. Edgerton of Aurora and Judge r.
r. Smith of the same city, who Wis
tied Chairman Beach today, both gave
the opinion change is taking place
which means much for the republican
candidate for the presidency.
The candidacy Of Henry T. Clarke,
chairman of the State Railway COM
mission for reelection is meeting with
favor by the voters. The apathy
which appeared to exist during the
first part of the campaign has been
brushed away by the incendiary
speeches Of his opponents, Mr.. Viii
son, who has shown so much radical
ism in his attacks upon the commits
sion that even some Of his friends
have criticised the wisdom OF putting
such L man son the commission.

train as it has nearly always started
before all have returned and a lively
chace ensues.
The common purpose of all those
who are making the trip has bound
them together in the most congenial
and social party imaginable.
Today is a much different from
yesterday as winter from summer.
The sun has shone brightly all day
inviting the many amateur photo
graphers out at every stop. Excite
ment is approaching fever heat as the
scene of the gridiron battle draws
