Charles Il. Hughes, who left Lincoln
for his second days campaigning in
Nebraska, told Il crowd of farmers In
his speech here that the Democratic
Administration had ignored the agri.
cultural interests of the country in
urging the enactment of the Adamson
law. The nominee, in support of his
contention, cited telegram from
President H. n. Pope of the Texas
Farmers Union to President Wilson
requesting that the farmers be per
mitted to submit data in arbitration
proceedings between the railroads and
the brOtherhoods. He said:
II want to say in reference to rates

the country were very little consid

mand Of the Administration the wages

for the men who pay should have
