DAYTON, Ohio, Sept 25.-Repub-
lican Nominee Hughes brought his
policies into the Buckeye state today,
beginning a three day oratorical mar
athon.
Because his throat is still inflam-
ed and his vocal chords frayed by
his long distance speaking in Indiana,
Mrs. Hughes and the nominees ply
sician, DR.. J.. r. Alexander, Jr.. for
bade any out Of door speeches here
in Dayton. The local committee.
therefore, made up for lack of
speeches from the candidate by a
program which sought to show him
off to the populace from morning till
night.
Hughes arrived at Dayton shortly
before 8 o'clock and was met by q
reception committee, headed by ]. j.
Nevin. Later in the day Governor
Frank B. Willis, of Ohio. was due to
join the nomination special" and
travel with the party during Hughes
stumping in Ohio. First OF all today,
the candidate was whisked Oft to the
soldiers home, Then at 1870 he
was to make speech before the
League OF Republican Clubs. This
afternoon he was due TO put IN an
appearance and review parade at
the state fair grounds and tonight to
deliver his big speech OF the day at
the city auditorium. In between
times, he expected to confer with
Ohio republicans on the political out
look.
Hughes begins the second week OF
his second campaign tour in splendid
physical and mental shape, but very
much bothered as to voice. So far
as punch and pep is concerned, the
former governor of New York has
come back" to his highest efficiency
as campaigner right now. But the
superhuman efforts at stun1ping he
made in Indiana have left his voice
in such shape that it is an obvious
effort for him to talk. He is forced
at all times to remember he must
conserve his organ of speech and that
slows him up just a trifle in his de-
livery as well as it forces him to
speak in harsh monotone. No man
in public life is more stimulated or
more responsive to crowds than the
present republican nominee. Fresh
from three days OF constant ovations
in Indiana, and met here today with
big and enthusiastic crowd, he was
literally bubbling with enthusiasm
and energy-or at least as nearly
bubbling with enthusiasm and energy
as a former supreme court justice
can bubble
Hughes plans to make the tariff
and Americanism his main themes in
Ohio speeches during the next few
days. The spectre of closed factories
after the end of the European war
If the democratic principle of a tariff
for revenue only is continued, which
the nominee so stirringly invokes.
made big hit in Indiana and the
candidate is of the opinion it will be
an equally potent campaign argu-
ment here in Ohio.
Wilson Goes to Baltimore.

ASBURY PARK, n. J., Sept 25.-
President and Mrs. Wilson left
Asbury Park for Baltimore at 900 a.
m. today, where the president will
deliver what democratic leaders re-
gard as an extremely important
campaign speech.
William Jennings Bryan believes
Wilson will be reelected in Novem-
ber. After canvass of the entire
problem, Bryan has written personal
friends that the strength of the presi-
dent is gaining everywhere" The
