ANDERSON, Ind, Sept. a2.-M was
o voice-weary Hughes who started ou1
on his second day In Indiana at 8:O(
o'clock his morning. Ills voice was
dangerously near the breaking point
but there wasn't q crowd that wat
disappointed by failure of the renub
lican nominee to expound his doc
trlnes as fully as time would permit
There are very few men who
could have talked above q whisper
today after yesterdays speaking
said DR.. l.. d. Alexander, Jr., the
governors throat specialist, aboard
the train today. "The governor goes
through such a schedule as today's
and then uses his voice necessarily
in copferring with the local and state
leaders"
Even II his vocal chords did play
him strange tricks of sQueakiness 81
times. the nominee appeared in splen
did condition today and he said ht
wasn't tired, in the face of the tre
mendous crowds his appearance IL
drawing forth everywhere throughout
the state.
Yesterday it was evident that
Hughes spoke to fifty thousand per
sons. If the audiences he addresses
today at New Castle and here are
criterion, he will exceed that number
today. They are cheering crowds
too, and crowds that seem to under
stand even the yelled meanings with
which the candidate is sometimes
content to outline his thrusts at the
democrats.
Hughes had slight red sun-burn
on his face today from so many out
of door audiences yesterday. So die
Mrs, Hughes, who, by the way, Is
running close second to her hus
band in popularity with Indiana aud
fences. She has qualified as an ex
pert on congratulating others on
babies and handshaking.
Emphasizing that he stood for ade
quate protection to the young and
that the present democratic Child la
Dor bill only affected 15c 900 out OF
1,S5O,OOO children of the datlon, ne
added:
''If our friends ON the other side
pass child labor laws IN the states II
which they are absolutely In control
there would be no child labor in the
nation. Just now they can't pose DE
fore the American people as the
special lTlGuuS dAu SAeAA PiSii' W
children"
One issue with which the G. o. r
candidate took particularly well with
his audiences today, was that as tc
protection of American rights at home
and abroad and his declaration thai
weakness and vacillation in policy
of this kind breeds disrespect."
Because of popularity of this line
of argument, the governor used 1t q
number of times in rear end OF the
train speeches. 1t took the place IN
his repertoir of speeches OF that one
devoted to preparedness.
For several days now the candidate
has hardly mentioned preparedness
He has dwelt for the most part or
Mexico, the tariff, arbitration Of In
dustrial disputes, including against
the Adamson bill and Amerioanism
Starting from Richmond at 7:3s
this morning, the nominee spoke a.
New Castle and here and was sched
uled during the day to speak al
Muncie. L4wood. Upton, Frankfort
Kokomo, Marion, North Manchester
Warsaw, Goshen, Elkhart and Soutf
Bend. At the last named place the
