During the day he took the program
into his own hands and fashioned it
anew to make it include speech at
every stopping place. At most of these

freely between talks, but his voice was
frayed and ragged long before he
reached South Bend.

Charles w. Farnham, manager of the
tour, tugged at the nominees coat to
signal him to stop, but Mr.. Hughes
with an emphatic gesture signifled
that he intended to finish his ad-
