feet that they were not what had | been expected.
 MT. Hughes has not stirred the peO- ] pie very deeply, according to local l leaders but, they say, he has inn ! pressed them as a man of convictions who will do his utmost to serve the i country The campaign has not gone With the fire that many had hoped | for, but most of the leaders seem sat 1 isfied that MT. Hughes will carry the | normal republican states. There is un- | questioned Wilson strength through 1 out the northwest, however, and many predictions are being heard that the i president will poll the biggest demo- cratic vote in that region in years. MT. Hughes made platform speech | CS yesterday at ROseburg, Riddle, Glen
 dale Grants Pass, Medford and Ash land. For the most part they were
 repetition of his early utterances pr, Nicholas Murray Butler was in the audience at Medford. He called to MT. Hughes and while two sturdy
 bodyguards held him the nominee leaned far over the platform rail and shook hands with the president of Columbia.
 MT Hughes talked of the tariff and the national honor to the crowds at the stations. Tn each address he also summa rized his stand on prepared ness, protection of American rights
 and industrial cooperation. Large
 crowds turned out, despite the rain, which fell most of the day. At Riddle MT. Hughes declared that a depreciation in American re- pute," due to 'pOliCy of vacillatiOn," had brought the country nearer to war than it would have been had a firm and consistent policy been main- tained.
 'Those who think we are decadent and weak and haven't got the old in
 domitable spirit are very much mis- taken,' he said. "They do not repre- sent the country"
 In his address at Grants Pass, MT. Hughes defined dominant American ism as follOws:
 we must have a good drive ahead; and there is no reason in this cOun- try, with it's ability and natural re- sources, we should not have perman- ent prosperity. To do that we must look after our own. That is what l mean by dominant Americanisn-abl to take care of American interests.
 Wants Friendship of All.
 "In addition to that, we want also and you cannot have much of na- ton without it-an intense regard for our national honor and a disposition to maintain it. l am aolicitous to pre- serve peace and goodwill
 "We want the friendship and good will of all tho nations of the world. f,iO But if we arc to keep out of trouble wo must respect ourselves and have others respect us. There is no safe guarantee of peace when others begin to see how much they can trihe with l you before you decide you won't stand | it. They have got to know you | mean what you say, and that in the things which really concern you you are prepared to maintain 1t. That is good Americanism. It will give us peace with honor. That Is what America Wants.'
 At Roseburg MT. Hughes said
 You must have loyalty to the flag and answering loyalty to the prin- ciples of our institutions You must have a keen appreciation of what American opportunity means and what you must do to preserve it. You must preserve it by encouraging every American achievement. You must be sure we do not leave unused the national powers which will give us national prosperity"
 After his speech in San Francisco tomorrow night MT. Hughes will re- main in the city until Sunday night and will discuss the campaign affairs with republican and progressive lead CTS.
