PEORIA, ILL.,. Sept. -19.-Nominee
Hughes chose Peoria as the city from
which he should hurl forth today the
first speech Of his second presidential
campaign tour. He spoke in the hall
in which the state republican confer
ence was meeting and in an hours
sermon on the nations deeds and
future, enunciated practically every
one of his doctrines on Americanism,
a protective tariff, adequate laws
covering labor and fair treatment to
legitimate business.
The G. 0. p. candidate was plainly
pleased to get back to campaigning
again. He started with smile at
the crowd which greeted him at the
station, waved his hat in almost
Rooseveltian glee at those who ap-
plauded him or the street and in
voice and gesture at the Coliseum
exhibited full measure Of pep"
There was very little "frazzle" In
his voice and plenty Of ginger in his
upper cuts at the air as he- rammed
home his criticisms of the democratic
administration.
II develoDed today that the COVER
nor didn't get the fu1l four days rest
at Bridgehampton he had planned
Saturday he gave over to reading of
data collected and arranged for him
by Secretary Laurence H. Green and
to arrangement in his mind of the
facts shown therein. The former JUS
tice sticks to his judicial system of
preparation-long and close reading
Of facts, e-iod of mental digestion
possibly of hours-and then he is
ready to talk, with not any notes to
aid his memory. He was able to get
in his period Of study Saturday at
Bridgehampton and yesterday, during
the all day trip to Illinois, he snatch
ed an opportunity to digest. For al
most the entire day he was in his
study" as Mrs. Hughes has named
it, in the private car National" in
dustriously coming over notes and
just thinking.
The governor-or rather Mr..
Hughes-has turned one Of the four
state rooms in his private car into a
sort of work shop. The first state
room from the end is his bed room:
the second his study" the third the
"parlor," and the fourth, Mrs.
Hughes bed room. Mrs. Hughes
named them all herself and super
.yised the arrangements for the gov
ernor's comfort. The new private car
is an all-steel one finished inside in
a warm. light green shade about
which Mrs. Hughes is enthusiastic be-
cause 1t gives what she calls a
honey warm look" In fact. Mrs.
Hughes is nightly pleased over
everything connected with the present
trip mainly because up to the last
minute she .iad not expected to be
able to accompany her husband. But
she felt he needed her on the strenu-
ous days OF campaigning he faces in
this journey through the middle west
and so she managed to get the
Hughes children all fixed up as to
school.
On his mid-western invasion" the
republican nominee intends to make
as one,of his principal differences Of
! issue against President Wilson the
Adamson eight hour law passed at
the executives behest in order to
, avert a railroad strike. He has had
time to collect some additional data
on that measure and the contingency
