DECLARES OF HUGHES
House Speaker, in Maine Cam
paign, Says Candidate Has
Shot Bolt

BRUNSWICK, Me-. Aug. 1e.-Champ
Clark, Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives, here today, pau high tribute to Presi-
dent Wilson and the national Democratic
Administration in political speech with
which he opened his tour of Maine. He
urged his hearers to cast their votes for
Democrats in the coming State election,
which will be held in September.
Early in his speech, Mr.. Clark referred
to the present stumpIng trip of Charles e.
Hughes, saying:
Judge Hughes has made enough
speeches in this campaign to enable
intelligent persons to form something
approXimatinE a correct judgment as
to his opinions on current issues. He
has shot his bolt but failed to hit the
bulseye. His speeches may be not
unfairly sized up as "querulous carp
ings" at the splendid record of Demo-
cratic Congress and a Democratic
Administration.
Turning to n discussion of the measures
enacted by Congress, the Speaker said the
Democrats had in three and a half years
placed upon the statute books more con
structive. remedial legislation than tn,
Republicans did in 20 years-laws which
should have been passed four decades ago.

Robert T.. Gendinning, millionaire avia-

photographer for the EVENING LEDGER,

when we get up" said Glendinning, "Ill
show you trick which makes flying safe
for almost anybody"
Several hundred feet in the air he took
his hands and feet away from all the steer
ing apparatus. and for a half-mile flight
the machine kept true to her course without
any human assistance at all. Mr.. Glendn-
ming has fixed a couple of smaller wings be-
hind his machine which serve to keep the
hydro absolutely true to course
without any watching or correcting. The
stabilizer, as he calls IT, works on the same
principle as a rudder-made fast, and which,
thus. keeps a boat straight to her course
without control.

OCEAN-T0- OCEAN HIKE
COSTS WALKER $3S1.65
John H. Scott Breaks Record by
Covering Distance in 83
Days
1t costs ssS.s5 to ride from San Francisco
to Philadelphia.

1t costs sss.s5 to ride from San Francisco
to Philadelphia.
1t costs S3s1.65 to walk It.
These are the calculations of John II.
Scott. boss house painter. of 153 Tree
street. who, as an amateur walker, arrived
in Philadelphia at 8 80 o'clock this morn
ing SO consecutive days after he left San
Francisco, establishing record for the
3300-mile hike.
For those who wonder why persons walk
across the continent, Scott's answer Is: II
did it for the love of my friends in Phil
adelphia. 1 sacrificed my work and my
pay as a house painter to prove to ntS
friends what l would do for them"
And so for members of the Southwark
Catholic Club, 10S Tasler street, who
financed the journey. Scott beat the record
of Edward Payson Weston. who in his 73d
year walked the same distance In 1O4 days
and Z hours, and the later record Of John
Ennis, who made it in 90 days, 3 hours.
Scott Is 55 years old and weighs 1870
pounds. He lost 10 pounds on the hike
losing an average of n pound day, but re-
gaining some of 1t in the four hours of sleer
he took nights.
Thomas A. Edison only sleeps four
hours" said Scott. and that's all L need
l took Sundays off for rest, so that would
cut down my time to 20 days"
Scott has several times attempted to
lower other walking records. He holds the
Philadelphia to New York record, having
accomplished this walk in the time of 81
hours SO minutes 10 seconds nearly seven
minutes less than the previous record. This
distance is approximately 100 miles, He
also broke the Washington walking
record in 1914. He traversed this distance
in 8 days hours and 81 minutes. The
previous record had been made many years
before by Weston, who walked between the
two cities in 10 DAYS.
