HUGHES VOICE
MUCH IMPROVED
Leaves Dayton For Cleveland
Insists U. S. Rights Must
Be Protected

Dayton, o.. Sept. 26. - Charles E.
Hughes left Dayton early to-day. the
second day of his campaign through
Ohio. for Cleveland, where he will
speak tonight. The comparative rest
to his voice yesterday, when he ad-
dressed only three audiences, as con-
trasted with the dozen or more daily
while travelling through Indiana last
week. had benefited him and while
he was still somewhat hoarse his
voice showed distinct improvement.
Mr.. Hughes program for to-day
was changed at the last moment to
include stops this morning at Find
lay and Bowling Green. The nominee
had expected to reach Toledo at 1880
a. m. but the two added stops delayed
the scheduled time of his arrival till
9.45. A stay of nearly four hours
in Toledo was on the program. After
leaving Toledo, MIR. Hughes will ad
dress audiences at Port Clinton, San
dusky and Elyria, thirty minute stops
being scheduled for each place. He
was due to reach Cleveland at 5.45
p. m. and to remain there over night.
From Cleveland Mr.. Hughes will
journey eastward, making an address
at Pittsburgh tomorrow and ad-
dresses at Trenton. n. j., and Sara
toga Springs, n. Y, Thursday. The
nominees program also calls for ad-
dresses at Akron and Canton, Ohio,
tomorrow.
