 Last night MT. Hughes spoke from the Chautauqua platform, referring to the "pitiless publicity" which Pres1- dent Wilson talked of four years ago.

 MT. Hughes said that we must be strong enough also to prevent abuses. unjust discrimination, and monopolis- tic practices in business. Asserting that the republican party was the only one which could be eXne cted to intro- Gu,e a proper tariff bill, MT.

 When cowboys saluted him with smoking, cracking reVOlvers and dashed through the crowds about his train on their mustangs with reckless abandon it acted like tonic on the nominee The promise that a ''thou- sand cowboys were ready to put him over" brought the retOrt that there was nothing in his power that he would not do to serve the American people.
 Mrs. Hughes was welcomed by the women at the little towns along the route with 8 cordiality that warmed her heart. They had heard she was coming, and pretty girls and buxom matrOns put on @ new ribbon or their freshest gowns in honor of the occa- sion. Mrs. Hughes stepped from the train at several of the stations and entered into the spirit of the occasion. She received many bouquets of flow CTS.
 At Medora, N. D., where Roosevelt once owned a ranch, MT. Hughes jumped to the station plat form to talk with several of the colonel's old-time friends. They pointed out to the nominee and his wife the direction in which the ranch lay.
 J. w. Foley, father of the poet, who has charge of a big ranch, asked MT. Hughes why he didn't bring the colonel along.
 T know he would have been glad to come," replied MT. Hughes. T wish he could have been here.'
 "Yes, I know he would," replied MT. Foley. 'I got a letter from him the other day saying you were com- ing"
 He is in fine fettle," answered MT. Hughes.

 "What do you think of MT. Hughes?'' MT. Foley was asked.

 AS MT. Hughes was about to get back on the train a boy in full cow boy attire and riding mustang can tered up. MT. Hughes walked back tr, shake hands with him.
