ON BOARD GOVERNOR HUGHES
SPECIAL TRAIN, BEATRICE, Neb.,
Oct 14.-Swinging across the Ne
braska prairies today, Governor
Hughes struck vigorously at the dem
ocratic tariff policy and cried solemn
warning against the evil days to come
after the war, il the democratic tariff
for revenue policy was continued. He
was in splendid fighting trim, his
voice clear and resonant.
Today the republican nominee was
feeling particularly good after new
course of treatment administered by
Physical Director James ]. Gibson.
1t was nothing more or less than an
athletic rubbing down, which Gibson
started yesterday to give the NOM
inee after each one OF his Dig
speeches.
Hughes finishes these oratorical
efforts In dripping perspiration. He
hustles into his overcoat and hurries
to his hotel or on his private car
where he gets = shower and then
Chambers into bed while Gibson
kueads his muscles with alcohol and
witch hazel. As . result, the nominee
xeks up fifteen minutes later feeling
Thoroughly revived and refreshed.
Mrs. Hughes narrowly escaped the
loss OF her favOrite coat at the meet
ing at Joplin last night. The crowd
iammed into the hall. The campaign
ing party got lost, Mrs. Hughes be-
ing separated from the governor.
She took off her coat and sat down
nearby, later moving nearer to her
husband, but neglecting to carry her
coat. Some bystander picked it up
and when time came to leave Mrs.
Hughes could not find It. The gov
ernor himself finally espied and
rescued it. II was the only heavy
coat Mrs. Hughes has with her and
she was extremely pleased to get II
back.
Hughes was scheduled for six
speeches today, starting at Fall City
at 9 o'clock and ending up at Lincoln
tonight.
Living on. Stlmuiant.

FALLS CITY, Neb.. Oct. 14.-En.
forcement of An erican rights should
be coupled with opening OF opportuni-
ties for extension of American trade
abroad. II this country Is TO Succeeu
in foreign fiel,ls, Republican Nominee
Hughes told an early morning gather
ing here today. He spoke OF the
Temporary stimulus" of the Euro
pean war to American business and
warned his auditors that such tenn
porary prosperity was an unhealthy
condition.
1--WE want in the United States to
have a basis of prosperity that does
not depend un the European war;.
he declared. 1--WE are now living on
a stimulant. 5ut you cannot live on a
stimulant for any great length OF
time. When tie war does cease, you
will find a great deal Of labor dis
appointed in this country. We must
remember that it is perfectly idle TO
ask American merchants, American
engineers, American traders, the boys
who 70 forth in the various oppor-
t,1nities that are afforded in connec-
tion with branch houses abroad; II
is perfectly idle to ask them TO go
forward in the interest of American
enterprise il the American flag does
not mean full protection to every
American citizen lawfully engaged
wherever he is. We cannot nave an
extension of our foreign trade unless
