Women's Hughes Campaign Train
Makes Flying Start on Its Trip

procession of flag trimmed machines
with Hughes banners had passed
down Fifth avenue, carrying to the
Grand Central the 800 women and
sundry men from the Hotel Plaza,
where Mrs. Payne Whitney's break
fast had been given for the women
who were to leave for the five weeks
campaign trip and for Mrs. Charles
Evans Hughes, guest of honor. And
as the machines emptied on Wander.
bilt avenue and the women flocked
down the steps, across the concourse
and out on to the train platform, a
cheer went up from the congregation
of men, women and little boys, who
chung as near as possible to the in
formation bureau for good place to
see. Mrs. Hughes was to be seen
and Mrs. Whitman, and it was some
thing to be on hand for.
The women have definite reasons
for their Hughes campaigning. Al.
though one clause in their credo has
to do with the suffrage for women,
there are enough clauses which have
nothing to do with it to bear them out
in their statement that this venture
is purely impersonal and that 1t is be-
cause OF belief in the ability Of Mr..
Hughes to better the social conditions
of the country that they want him
for president. The women who will
speak on this trip are largely those
who have worked and do work along
social lines throughout the country,
and base their belief on the stand
which he has taken on these ques-
tons.
Albany N. Y, Oct. 1.-The women
campaigners for Hughes reached this
city on schedule time, left the rail-
road station in automobiles for the
executive mansion, where they were
given a bit of luncheon by Mrs.
Charles S. Whitman, wife of the gov
ernor and later held the first meeting
of the trip on the executive lawn.
Among the speakers were Miss Mary
Antin of Scarsdale, N. Y, DR.. Kath-
