Here Is Hughes own definition OF

IS MAKING RECORD
AS CAMPAIGNER

mer Justice of the supreme court has
done since he left Bridgehampton on
Saturday for his first trial Of presi-
GENITAL campaigning. Just the same,
the nominee sticks to his white pique

The collars wilt and drop over, but
Hughes just grins underneath his
beard-by the way, it was trimmed
this morning by one of the useful
boys in the private car and now dis
tinctly reveals the grin-and goes
right ahead.
Everybody with whom the nominee
comes in contact is interested in Mrs.
Hughes. That story from Bridge
hampton that she is carrying only
one hat on the trip was I, base can
ard. 1t is reliably stated that there
are at least three. Up to date Mrs.
Hughes has worn two different ones
both dark. but tasty looking.
Mrs. Hughes is determined she will
not accept social engagements during
the present tour. The governor re-
CARDS her as one of his best advisors.
When Roosevelt campaigned four
years ago he took along a throat
specialist, number of boxes of
lozenges for hoarseness and can or
apparently Governor Hughes has a
physician along, but there aren't any
throat lozenges nor any tanks of oxy-
gen cluttering up the rear platform
of the private car. He doesn't need
them. The former governor has a
remarkably clear voice. Beng on the
bench for some time, has curtailed
his gestures considerably. When he
was governor of New Yo:k he used
to have quite a number If hand
swings to emphasize the points in mis-
addresses. Now his favorite one is a
sort of reversed uppercut into an out
stretched palm. He uses it to ram
home most of the emphatic portions
of his speeches. He has very little
else in the way Of air blows.
Some politicians on the train today
had leisure enough to figure out that
before Hughes gets back to Bridge
hampton for short rest somewhere
about September IL, his features will
have been preserved for posterfty on
about two thousand miles Of cellu-
loid film. Every place the candidate
goes, there is a man turning the
crank of box pointed at him. On

four moving picture men.
Speaking of whiskers-artists Of
campaign pictures so far encountered
all seem to have the idea that the
Hughes facial adornmen, resembles

somewhat scraggly and trimmed very
close on the cheeks. There's just the
