York, Neb, Oct. 14—{Special Telegram.)~The demonstratiop ac- corded Charles E. Hughes at Fair- bury this aftérnoon was typically representative of ‘the first day's trip of his third tour of winning the west. This great gathering of sturdy Ne- brask: heartened the candidate to his highest purpose: that of \d'eéifig with facts which are his honest con- victions. He impréssed the crowds along the way with his personal force and: sincerity. He- is not a senti- mentalist nor a dreamer. ~He does not say one thing one' day and re- tract or revise it the next day.. He has no_tatch-penny . plays, for the 3 /?allgry, but relies on an_abiding aith in deep-rooted convictions. Asks Nor Gives Quarter. A' hard fighter, Mr. Hughes shows himself neither asking for nar giv- ing quarter. He leaves behind every speech the impression that he has said sexething worth (pondering over. ..

It was one of the largest gath- zrings eyer assegfibled in Fairbury. During the day Mr, Hughes injected vim intd consideration of the tariff and the Adamson bill and demonstrat ed the absurdity of Vice President Marshall's charge that a vote for Hughes meant a vote for war. On the subject of peace and war he won genuine approbation at Beatrice when he said correct policies meant peace, not_war, How War Comes. “A départure from correct princi- ples leads you constantly into danger or strife,” {e declared. “If you have a self-respecting policy you will re- spect. You acquire confidence. You maintain friendship. “We are happily situated, so that we can devote ourselves to the ideals of peace. We are a great nation with extraordinary power and ther is not a nation on garth but desires to main= tain our friendship, as we desire to maintain friendship with all nations.” As the verbatim reports of his speeches show, he delves into analysis | of subjects he discusses. He has a direct answer when questioned as to what he would do on‘a specific prop- osition, No Catch Phrase. He isyconvincing Nebraskans that he is a tan with high ideals of peace, but he.is not conjuring emotion: phrasesguch as “peace at any price, or “too porud to Eg}u." The mind is not intoxicated with granddiloquent pharseology, but substantial mental pabulum 1s being offered of a type that will sound just as good the day after heard spoken by Mr. Hughes. Such is the consensus gathered along the way. Crowds Along Route. The extra stop at Fairmont brought out a crowd of a thousand with a band. This is the home-town of Ctate ‘Chairman Beach. Mr. Hughes shook hands until he grew weary. At Seward he was greeted by sev- eral thousand people at 7 o'clock. ile had only time to say “God blesk you all, and good-bye.” “Brings Exclamation.
