Charles T.. Hughes and the Hon. Charles
Warren Fairbanks side by side paced
3 the parklikc lawn OF MIR. Fairbanks's
home on North Pennsylvania street his
afternoon, paced UP and down and VI
and down. and scores of folk that went
there for a disl, Of tea and to make their
bow to the national candidates would
have given a dime or two to know what
their talk was about.
Whatever II was II looked interesting.
Tor Fairbanks. OF u panatcla cut in
statesmen and quite prodigiously tall.
: stopped the shoulder nearest Hughes and
. inclined his hcad at an awkward angle.
the better to catch his companions words.
. and sometimes the good risht arm OF
Candidate Hughes cut the air In nm
phatic gesture {: something or somebody
was catching it-that was certain.
Some who went to the tea party nus
have wondered what allied Mr.. Hughes.
for he kept his lips closed. merely nod
ding occasionally. To look at him one
would have imagined he was bored or
hat no disliked his callers exceedingly or
that no was deaf and dumb.
e. The fact is, his physician, DR.. Alexan-
utE. udu uelINeTeu eApllClt ofucrS tHdt i'
must not use his voice at all-that 1t
must have absolute rest. or he. the doc
tcr. wouldn't be responsible for the con-
scquences. So Mr.. Huches wasn't even
allowed to muttcr or TO humble. OF
% cours with Mr.. Fairbanks he broke the
rule, but he observed. It with others. and
the result In that tonight he Is pretty
well rested. mind. body and voice. and
will he able to start speechmaking in

Democrats at Tea.
Tho reception and tea at the Fair
banks home in honor Of Mr.. n Mrs.
Hughes interested Indianapolis. Parti-
san lines were not drawn. and among the
callers were n number Of prominent
Democrats. Among the Republican
guests were former Attorney General
William Henry Harrison Miller, Prcsl-
dent Harrison's closest friend perhaps.
and Harry S. New. candidate for the
Senate.
After a refreshing sleep last night Mr..
Hughes went for n walk in the sunshine.
having q look at Pennsylvania street
and u residence district which Is one OF
the most beautiful In the country. Later
he accompanied Mrs. Hughes. Mr.. Fair
banks and Mrs. John w. Timmons. Mr..
Fairbanks's daughter, to the Meridian
Street Methodist Church. where the
Rev. Or. Joshua Stanchfeld delivered the
sermon. Mr.. and Mrs. Hughes spent
tho rest Of the day at the Fairbanks
home. going to their private car shortly
after dinner.
Tho deliberate Judgment Of lndiana's
biggest Republican leaders il that
Hughes won many thousands Of votes
for tho party In the three days tour Of
the State that the effectiveness OF his
Ia ..asl stAt-
cism that the people obviously warm 10
him and that he will carry the State by
from $4,000 to 81. 900.
A lot OF smaller leaders are talking
wildly about getting Indiana by any
where from $4,000 to 100000. The big
fellows know better-men like Harry
New. Will II. Hays. the State chairman:
James y. Goodrich and a. T. Hert. tho
Western campaign manager. who Is a
Hoosier and used to be Warden Of the
Jefersonville reformatory. The way
they feel about 1t is that the margin will
be about 0 1000. and they wouldn't really
be disappointed II 1t fell TO $4,000.
Hert Sees Victory.
Mr.. Hert. who has put the big punch
IN the Western campaign and who &C.
companied Hughes on the tour of Illinois.
Wisconsin and Indiana-a tour. II might
as well be admitted. that was undertaken
with some misgivings because it's success
or failure might be the turning point in
the whole campaisn-gavc to-day to
THE Sun his estimate and observations
OF the middle West tour n what its
effect will be.
AT the close OF a week Of travel
through Illinois. Wisconsin and Indiana
with tho Republican Presidential nom.
tnee i do not hesitate to predict that Mr..
HuEhes will carry every one OF these
states by large majorities,' said Hert.
"Starting last Tuesday at Peoria. where
ne addressed the Illinois Republican
state convention. Mr.. Hughes has spoken
IN thirty-four cities and towns of the
middle West TO no less than 300. 900
people. while thousands were unable to
get within sound of his voice.
MIR. Iiughes's clear and forceful dec
laration OF the policies in which he be-
lieves and to which the Republican partv
10 committed. and his frank assertion of
the course he intends to follow when he
enters the White House never failed TO
enthuse and win the plaudits OF his hear
ers. The people wanted to know what
he proposed to do. lie told them, and
their manifestations Of approval were
unmistakable.
The past three days have been spent
IN Indiana. which prior to our visit wa
were told was doubtful territory I
wish to assert after my recent obsery,-
tons that Indiana Is not doubtful. II
