coast. His first speech was scheduled
at Omaha, Tuesday evening.
Great Demonstration
The welcome extended to Mr.. Hughes
Saturday night at Indianapolis was one
of the biggest political demonstrations
the State has staged. Traffic around
the railroad station was held up by a
crowd estimated at $4,000. A dozen
brass bands tore the atmosphere into
shreds and 10000 marchers were ready
to escore the nominee through crowd
ed streets made brilliant by red fire,
rockets and gay banners.
For the first time in the campaign
Mr.. Hughes appeared on the platform
with the vice-presidential nominee,
Charles w. Fairbanks. Mr.. Fairbanks
and his daughter, Mrs. J. w. Timmons.
were at the station to greet Mr.. and
mobile to Tomlinson Hall. where Mr..
Hughes spoke to 5000 persons. Mr..
Hughes and Mr.. Fairbanks also ap-
peared at overflow meetings.
While the meetings were in prog
ress the parade continued to wind it's
way through the streets. and 1t was
late in the night before the excitement
had quieted down.
In his address at Tomlinson Hall MFR.
Hughes followed up his attack upon
the Administrations Mexican policy in
"waging war on Huerta." and made a
general assault upon the policies of
the Wilson Administration. which he
again characterized as IAN Administra-
ton of broken promises" He empha-
sized also the Adamson law issue and
Americanisn1. In regard to the latter
Issue he said
IT want a splendid patriotic senti-
ment in this country. America can pro-
vide work. America can never be sue
cessful and prosper IL we do not have
a splendid patriotic sentiment. We are
all Americans whatever race, whatever
creed. wherever we come from, whether
foreign born or born here, we are all
Americans
American means your attitude to-
or what is your race. 1t is a word OF
spirit, is not word of flesh, and
stand here to say that If we are going
to have America of the future realize
these great ideals ! have been talk
ing about, we have got to enforce
American rights throughout the world
and dignity ourselves"
1t Is the opinion among the leaders
here that the stand taken by Mr.
Hughes on the passage of the Adam
son efght-hour law will have a great
influence upon the campaign. The ma
jority of the Republicans feel that by
Its passage Mr.. Wilson drove nail in
to his political coffin.'
These leaders are of the opinion that
it will be the deciding factor in the
Indiana election as well as in Mis-
souri,. and that Mr.. Hughes will win.
Raymond Robbins. former Democrat
and Progressive. who has been helping
Mr.. Hughes here by campaign speeches
said that he had been a bit skeptica,
about the result in Missouri until Pres.
ident Wilson advocated the passage Of
what he termed forced legislation
He had campaigned in Missouri since
the law was passed. he said, and found
that there had been a great growth ir
the strength of Mr.. Hughes He fount
the same feeling among the voters OF
Indiana.
Resentment was strong among the
farmers particularly, Mr.. Robins said
and in that he was backed up by other
campaigners and workers of one kline
and another. The farmers, he said
were beginning to be convinced that
they would be called upon to stand the
brunt of an increase in rates, which they
felt would be granted to meet the in
crease in the railroad employees pay.
