MITCHELL 8. D.. Oct. n.-Repub-
lican Nominee Hughes Was beginning
to realize today that It Is "a pretty
severe contract to attempt to address
all the people of the United States"
as he himself put it.
Starting on q hurried sweep into
South Dakota from here today, the
candidate found his voice more strain
ed than at any time since he began
on August to lay his policies before
the people. The former supreme
court justice has changed great
deal since talking to more than g.
100000 people of the United States
in the ten weeks he has been stump
ing. The United Press correspond
ent In these dispatches has noted the
fact that Hughes is now a finished
campaigner after starting out little
shy. little awkward and . tride
backward in public speaking, follow
ing six years seclusion on the bench.
But his appearance has also changed.
TThose fsmous whiskefs are now trim
med closer than at any time since he
began wearing them. His cheeks are
almost clean shaven and this reveals
q deep wrinkle. deepened today by
the fatigues Of his labors as a cam
paigner. His eyes are little hollow
ed by the physical and mental efforts
OF addressing audiences These evil
dences Of fatigue, however. are ofrset
by a healthy sunburn on his cheeks
and a sparkle Of enthusiasm in his
eyes.
Hughes hoped to nurse his fading
voice today, although he had several
speeches scheduled-Mitchell. Sioux
Falls, Yankton and Sioux City. He
planned to emphasize and enlarge on
his speeches OF yesterday on the
democratic treatment OF agricultural
interests and to discuss the effect OF
the democratic tariff ON the farmers.
The governor was greatly amused
and interested when on leaving mis-
train here an insistent old gentleman
tried to push past one or his BODY
guards.
Don't hold me back" he yelled.
.I've Travelled hundred miles to
shake this mans hand"
Hughes heard the commotion and
stopped the entire procession while
he shook hands and thanked his ad-
mirer for the compliment.
Those in charge Of the Hughes tour
said today that the candidates ad-
dress last night at Omaha was more
"punchy," more humorous. more cpl

Because important differences still
exist between the allied and central
powers under which supplies may be
sent to starving Poland President
Wilson today announced he has mot

Some weeks ago, the president
wrote letter to the king Of England,
president Of France, czar of Russia,
emperor Of Germany and emperor of
Austria, urging their cooperation in
alleviating the suffering of the Polish
people. Today he issued a statement
admitting his efforts had been in vain.
The announcement follows:
II have now received replies from
the king of England, the president Of
France, the emperor of Germany, the
emperor of Austria and the czar OF
Russia to my letter of July Goth, 1916,
in which rendered the friendly offices

looking to a fresh consideration OF
