ried. The sister of the bride asked
one of the Fairmont police officials
for protection for her married sister.
as she feared that he would carry
out his threat that he would kill her
sister before he would see her mar
ried to a man belonging to the ma
tiOnality with whom his country
was at war. After conference with
all concerned the Canadian became
convinced that no good would come
from shedding blood and the follow

Nominee Goes Down Into Mine
$500 Feet Deep
From SATURDAYS Daily.

Helena, Mont, August 12.-An I'M
foreground search for votes is what
the companions of Charles Evans
Hughes are terming an exploit that
has been outlined for him and which
he will make this afternoon. He will
go down into the Leonard copper
mine at Butte, $500 feet deep. He
will go that entire distance UNDER
ground. Mrs. Hughes, who has been
with her husband from the time that
he began his campaign, wished also
to be permitted to go down into the
mine, but it was thought that she
should not unnecessarily face the
dangers of such a trip.
John H. Mcintyre of Butte, who
has joined the Hughes party, told
the presidential candidate that
these mines were by no means the
safest places in the world, and that
he would be offending nobody in de-
Ginning such an invitation on account
of the hazard. But Mr.. Hughes de-
clared that he would visit the mine
and go underground. "You bet
want to go down into the Leonard
mine," said Mr.. Hughes.
Resembles Military Operation.
Mr.. Hughes political campaign in
some respects reminds one of mill
tary operation. He has thus far made
twenty four speeches. These are
only preliminary to the general as
sault that he will henceforth make
on the democratic party. His accu-
sations thus far have been like the
artillery bombardment that prepares
the ground for an infantry attack.
During the coming week he will talk
more specifically, showing figures
and facts, to back up the accusa-
tions that he has already leveled
against, the democratic party and the
democratic administration. During
the coming week he will dwell par
ticularly on democratic inefficiency.
He will condemn the democratic pol
icies with regard to Mexico, Europe,
the public service, the matter of
preparedness and the tariff. He will
also dwell on other weaknesses Of
the administration.
Continued His Attacks.
