President Wilson was suggested here
last night by Henry ]. Allen, of Kan

GOOD CAMPAI IS EXPECTED.

CHICAGO June 11.-Fhe Repub- lican leaders expect Hughes to maEe a clearcut and straightfor. ward campaign The leaders say that his statement accepting the nomination was eminently satisfac- tory, especially his views regard ing preparedness, Americanism. and the tariff.
 Hughes is the first case in Am erican history of the office seeking the man in the matter of a presi. dential nomination. Not at any time did the former supreme court justice commit himself as to the policy he would pursue were the nomination rendered him. In fact the highest political position in the gift of the people of the United States was offered him without cam paign or manager.
