pl,.tsburg. y. T., Sept. 12.--There
w;II be no change in the campaign
methods OF Charles Z. Hughes and
there will be no change in his cam
psier managers. Mr.. Hughes believes
that the Maine election has vindicated
his course and proved that the Pro-
crsssjyes have come back 10 the Repub-
Iran marty. Nor will Mr.. Hughes at
tack President Wilson by name; he will
eopfne his campaign 70 presenting his
side Of the case and leave judgment TO
the electorate.
Mr.. Hughes made this clear tonight
in tho closing speech Of his long tour
here. in which he answered those who
for the last few days have been criti-
cisinr the conduct Of his campaign by
William r. Wilcox, chairman Of the
national committee, and also the meth
DDS and arguments employed by Mr..
Hughes himself The Republican NOM
inee is satisfied with the work Of Mr..
Wilcox; he is also satisfied that the
campaign he is making is q winning
one.
says Party Is Reunited.
Il come 20 you as the spokesman of
a reunited Republican party" Mr..
Hughes said. We have said il was re-
united we have believed il was re-
united; We have devoutly hoped it was
reunited. Now Maine proves that it
is reunited. Whoever was skeptical
sbout that before must hide his
cynieism now. We shall abandon no
efforts; we shall not change our plans
or our aims, but we shall 90 forward
with renewed confidence because the
old state in the Northeastern corner
has spoken in no uncertain voice.

lean party was the party of true prog

"0ur friends on the other side-for

Reports OF Dissatisfaction.
Ever since Mr. Hughes returned TO
the East reports have been coming TO
aim that the "old guard" has not been
.s,sneo with his campaign. They have
declared that i lacked pep; that Mr..
wilcox was not as aggressive as a
isilonsl chairman should be; that the
speeehes Of Mr.. Hughes were not the
snd 20 win an election; that his tour
nIough the West was q failure and d
waste Of time.
these reports became so pronounced
-sst night that he took the bull by the
sorns. He conferred with Chairman
Wilcox and assured him of his sbso-
isle confidence. So far as his own
campaign is concerned, Mr.. Hughes
ise.s that he could sense the feeling OF
A' audiences in Maine, and that the
results Of the election proved il. He
