Reception.
Change Of schedule and rain did not
prevent large crowds greeting Charles
Evan Hughes, Republican candidate
for president, at every stop on his
way across western North Dakota yes
terday in special train.
The first speech made by the for
mer justice, after he left Fargo, was
at Bismarck at S:20 a. m. Reports of
the change of time from noon to early
morning were not received until too
late to give general notification of the
new schedule.

form.
Arrangements had been made to
have the train met by the Elks band
and to have large delegations from
surrounding towns present. These
plans were all upset by the change
made necessary because of the stop
at Billings, Mont Many, however,
who it was impossible to inform, mot
ored in, and at noon there we're more
people in town than during session
days.
Besides Bismarck, stops were made
at Mandan, Dickinson, Medora and
Beach, in North Dakota. Brief talks
were given at all these places, save
Medora, where, at the old home of
Colonel Roosevelt, Mr. and Mrs.
Hughes stepped off the platform and
shook hands with the crowds.

ned. Cowboys from the surrounding
ranches had made" preparations to
give him, on horseback, one of the
old-time salutations that made the
town famous when the Colonel and
De ;Mores were bosom pals. However,
every resident was on the station plat

~ PLEASED With Interest. 1-f =
Referring to his trip through this
state, former Governor Hughes said:
1T was very delightful. / was es.
pecially pleased with the deep inter.
est taken in the issues of this cam.
paign.
'tAt every stop there was very
generous response to the statement
of the issues. It seems to me that
protection, maintenance of our rights
and efficiency and economy in public
administration cannot fail to secure
the support fthe intelligent people
of North Dakota.
At Bismarck % Years AGO.
Il first visited Bismarck 23 years
ago. 1t is amazing, the tremendous
development that this section of the
country had had since that time.
Il appreciate the reception given to
me at Bismarck keenly. It was fine
. that so many people came out so early
in the morning."
Senator Porter J. McCumber, who
accompanied Mr.. Hughes on his trip
through the state, was exceedingly
optimistic over the reception that the
justice had had.
speeches Strong and Earnest.
His speeches have been strong,
Straightforward and earnest" declar-
ed the senator. He was enthusiastic-
ally received at every stop. He makes
friends and supporters of all who list
en- to his able discussions.
1T was exceedingly unfortunate
that 1t was necessary to change the
schedule. But we found that Billings
had been inadvertently left out and it
was essential that it should not be.
The stop there could only be made by
leaving Fargo at a. M, instead OF
5:47, as first planned. BY making the
change we were compelled to pass
through Valley City and jamestown
