Chicago, Aug. S.---Charles Evans
Hughes is out-Rooseyelting Roosevelt
In strenuosity of campaigning. Arriv-
ing here today, the republican nominee
was fresh as a daisy after day in
Detroit that kept aim ON the jump, in
fiercely hot weather, from early morn
ing to late at night, including six
speeches and breakneck bit of auto.

Moreover, Hughes seemed likely today
to achieve new record in Chicago for
stumpers.
Only one speech was scheduled-at
the Coliseum, where back in June the
G. o. p. selected him as its candidate
but the nominee had to straighten

sea- of approval on number of cam
paign measures for the western fight
formulated by National Chairman Will
cox and it seemed likely he would have
great deal of handshaking to do.
He was slated for conference with
Chairman Wilcox, Alvin r. Hert of
Kentucky, western campaign manager,
and national committeeman.
At noon he was to hold an open
handshaking reception in the rotunda
of loot skyscraper.
To Speak at Coliseum
This afternoon he will be taken for

Mrs. Fred Upham, wife of the ILL

head of party of women who greeted
Mrs. Hughes. The candidates wife
will have busy day too.
Only just started in bis campaigning
for the highest office in the land,
hughes today had already developed
an almost Rooseveltian vocabulary of
denunciation and of aphorism. Some
of his epigrams coined so far are:
"The democratic party is party
for votes only"
''The democratic party came up to
the protection tax like skittish horse
approaching brass band.
"We are entitled to 4 standing army
without taking men out of civil life,
as in the Mexican mobilization, just
as much as city is entitled to proper
police protection.
"The military problem is problem
of good sense.
'There's no danger of our going to
war unless the other side knows that
we re too proud to fight"
'The best way of making for eff
cheney is by making for contentment. I"
Not "Cold" Just Now
1t is a libel, this story that Hughes
is "cold." No human being could
have perspired any mere than the for
mer justice of the supreme court has
done since ne left Bridgehampton on
Saturday for his first trial of presi-
dental campaigning. just the same
the nominee sticks to his white vest
and the wing collars he affects. 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 pri-
vate ear and now distinctly reveals
the grin-and goes right anead.
Everybody with whom the nominee
comes in contact is interested in Mrs.
Hughes. The story from Bridgehamp-
ton that she is carrying only one hat on
the trip was base canard. 1t is re-
liably stated that there are at least
three. Up to date Mrs. Hughes has
worn two different ones-botn dark,
but tasty looking.
Mrs. Hughes is determined she will
not accept social engagements during
the tour. The governor regards her
as one of his best advisors.
Is In Fine Trim
When Roosevelt campaigned four
years ago he took along a throat spe-
cialist, number Of boxes Of lozenges
for hoarseness and can or two of OK
ygen for revival purposes, apparently.
Governor Hughes has physician along
but there aren't any throat lozenges
nor any tanks of oxygen cluttering up
the rear platform of the private ear.
He doesn t need them. The former
governor has remarkably clear voice.
Being on the bench for some time has
curtailed his gestures considerably.
When he was governor of New York he
used to have quite number OF hand
swings to emphasize the points in his
addresses Now his favorite one is a
sort of reversed uppercut into an out
stretched palm. He used it to ram
home most of the emphatic portions Of
