HUGHES EXPOSES BRYAN'S
FAL[AC|ES IN HIS KEYNOTE SPEECH
OPENING THE NATIONAL CAMPAIGN
Two Formidable Proectes Fired From the Heavy Republican
Artillery We're Sent Screaming in the Direction of Lincoln
Nebraska".Senator BeveridSe is the Other Orator.

Youngstown, Ohio, Sept. 5.-Two
formidable political projectiles fired
from heavy Republican guns went
screaming away in the direction of
Lincoln, Neb., today and the Repub-
l1can campaign in Ohio and In the
nation was declared formally under
way. Through the smoke could be
seen the gunners. Governor Hughes of
New York, and Senator A. J. Bever-
tdge of Indiana. Another shell fired
by Governor Harris Of Ohio disap-
peared in the direction of Cincinnati,
the home of Judge Harmon, the
Democratic candidate for governor of
the state, but a>fragment Of IL seemed
bound for the sun parlor at Fairview.
There was an immense crowd at
Wick park when Governor Harris, fol-
lowing an Introductory speech by Ar
thur I. Vorys, began the oratory with
an address. Governor Hughes fol-
lowed and the speaking closed with
the address of Senator Beveridge,
both devoting themselves strictly to
the questions of the national cam
kpaigp. The words of Governor
Hug rs, "the army opposing us can
not pass muster either as one of de-
fense or of salvation and We may we'll
pause before we permit it, despite its
boast of fidelity. to garrison our ma
tional institutions" was the keynote
of the meeting. Governor Hughes
started with brief eulogy of Judge
Taft, sketched the success of the Re-
publican rule, for the past twelve
years with high praise for the re-
forms Of the Roosevelt administra-
tion.
The Republican party makes appeal
to the public confidence as the most
important political agency for con-
servatio1l and for progress. BY vir-
tue of its achievements, its leader
ship and its aims, it stands forth as
an efficient instrument for strong and
capable administration, as safeguard
of stability, and of the prosperity
which depends upon stability, and as
an unrivaled power for the correction
OF abuses. 1t stands in striking con-
trast to the record OF vaciflation and
ineptitude presented by the chief op-
posing party That opposing party
proffers candidacy which is at once
monument and guide post II
memoralizes the fallacies and unsafe
policies we are asked to forget and II
points the way to business uncertain
ty and to the impairment of the con-
f1dence which is the security of in
dustry and trade.
When we hear sounded strident
call to the defense of popular rights
we look carefully to see who consti-
tute the new patriotic army into
whose keeping we are asked to turn
over the destinies OF this great ma
ton. The campaign watchwords
"Shall the People Rule" and the de-
mand Whether the government shall
remain mere business, asset OF lfa-
vor seeking corporations" are not I'M
pressive when emblazoned on the ban
ners of Tammany hall and OF other
essential allies. The army opposing
us cannot pass muster either as one
of defense or of salvation, and we may
we'll pause before we permit it, de-
spite its boast of fidelity. to garrison
our institutions.
Mr. Taft's Candidacy
No one more than l desires to see
administration purged Of every un-
selfish taint, to have fair and impair
tial laws faithfully executed. to get
rid of every vestige OF special privi-
lege at the expense of public inter-
est, to liberate trade from unjust en-
roachments, to purify our electoral
methods. and to maintain honest rep
resentative government. And it is be-
cause of his loyalty to these ideals,
because of his broad sympathies and
his rare equipment in character. abil-
ity and experience, because tested in
the difficult fields of judicial and ad-
administrative work he has proved his
quality by eminent service, because of
his varied learning, his acquaintance
with affairs, his respect for constitu-
tional government and his capacity
intelligently and justly to plan and
direct necessary reforms that l most
earnestly. support the candidacy of
William Howard Taft s
Popular Rule
Twelve years ago the democracy of
Tilden and of Cleveland was over
thrown in It's own house. Under the
old name, but with a new alignment
and leadership, desperate assault
was made upon the credit of the coun-
try and the integrity of private debts
It was an attack upon our fundamen-
tai securities and our belief as to the
sincerity of the motive serves only
to magnify the dangerous character
of the attempt and the unwisdom of
the leadership which inspired it. A
campaign OF education followed.

upon the safety of the country than
upon fidelity to party name. itself
