John Lind was authorized by President
Wilson. in 1914. to say to "the minister
| from a foreign power to Mexico" that
| Huerta would be put out of the presi-
dency of Mexico if he did not volun-
tarily get out.
| Mr. Hughes issued his challenge in a
speech here before an audience in the
Central armory. In the same speech
Mr.. Hughes lauded Myon r. Herrick,
| sitting on the platform with him, for
the manner in which he discharged the
duties of amb asSador to France in the
early days Of the war, and declared that
| the appointment of man to succeed
| MI. Herrick lin a time of great emer-
gency" would ever remain blot upon
| the present administration.
| The nominees speech was the last OF
| eight delivered on the second day of
his campaign through Ohio. Among
| them was an address at Toledo before
Workmen Try to Heckle Him.
| During this last speech number of
the workmen he addressed cheered re-
peatedly for Wilson. This meeting
| closed with a volley of questions from
the edge of the crowd. prompted by his
| attack on the administration for the
| Adamson law, and by uncomplimentary
| reference to the nominee himself.
What about the Danbury hatters
case?" was the chief question.
One man started II, others took it
UP and when the nominee closed his
| speech the words were echoed by many
| voices. Mr.. Hughes heard the commo-
| ton. Thinking 1t came from men on

| law, he said:
''if you will tell my friends over
| there what have said think they will
understand my views"
Later Mr.. Hughes said he had not
heard the reference to the Danbury
| hatters' case.

In his second address at Toledo and
in his speech here last night Mr..
| Hughes renewed his attack on the ad.
| ministration for the Adamson law and
declared 1t was the duty of the execu-
/ tive to stand like a rock" for the prtn-
ciple Of investigation before legislation
| and not to surrender to force At both
| Toledo addresses and here he was
| cheered and applauded.
| Mr. Hughes challenge to the admin
istration was part of his attack on the
| administration for its Mexican policy
I'VE cannot maintain our Just influ.

| with our sister republic unless we are
| correct in our international attitude
and careful and correct in our inter-
national policy" he said. That is the
deplorable thing about the conduct of
| our affairs in Mexico.
I'VE have followed no Ineligible pol
