Salina, Kas., Sept. 1.—Nominee Hughes put one over on his entourage today and the crestfallen ones had it rubbed in on them throughout the day. At Ellis, Kas., before 6 o'clock this morning, the Hughes special train stopped to change engines. Kansas just seethes with politics, and despite the early hour there was a crowd at the station. Hughes and Mrs. Hughes, in their berths, heard shouts of greeting and both arose and hurriedly dressed. Absolutely alone, the candidate and his wife stepped out on the rear platform, greeted the crowd and the nominee made a brief speech. The stenographer who is supposed to record the candidate's every utterance, was asleep. So were the newspaper men. Ellis, not being a scheduled stop, whatever the nominee said will not go into the archives of political history.
It was Hughes' first unrecorded utterance since he was chosen a nominee. Later, in twitting members of his party on their sleepiness, the governor said he talked of protection to American industries and maintenance of American rights here and abroad.
