John DAILY has been getting religion
daily 1t appears that he either got too
much of 1t or mixed 1t with something
else which was decidedly incongruous,
At any rate, his queer antics have kept
those who attended a mission near sth

enthusiastic on the very first night. Those
who were aiding him to see the right path
gave him the price of Il few meals
Whether the money was used for that
purpose is a matter of conjecture.

HUGHES APPEALS
TO YOUNG AMERICA

''Dream Of Prosperity
RESULTS FOLLOWING WAR

NEW YORK. October 26.-Charles E
Hughes, republican presidential riorni-
nee, in an address in Brooklyn last
night, IN which he made an appeal to
''the young voters of America de-
clared that the republican, party had
recovered from the division of four
years ago, and is ready once more to
serve
The republican party, Mr.. Hughes as
serted. "sprang into being at time
of the deepest national peril
Preserving the nation, 1t not only
abolished slavery. but emancipated the
people from the curse of a destructive
sectionalism." said the nominee.

saying he would endeavor to answer
the question. Mr.. Hughes continued:
He wants country respected
throughout the world. He wants a
country which respects the dignity of
its citizenship and thus deserves and
enjoys the esteem of other nations. He
wants no braggart assertion Of power,
no policies of aggression; he has no
desire for strife.
But he desires to have the Ameri
can flag symbol of firmness. of a
courageous and indomitable spirit, of
an intense love of justice, of great
strength well organized, but never
misused, which secures protection to
American citizens In their just rights
throughout the world. He must recog-
nize that there is no permanent secur-
ity for a people which takes counsel
Of its fears rather than of its princi-
pies Tfmidity, weakness and changing
purposes are feeble custodians either
Of q nations honor or of a nations
peace.

Crowds Turned Away.

The audience Mr.. Hughes faced last
night filled every available foot of
space in the big building. Scores, I'M
able to find standing room in the rear.
were massed in the wings of the stage.
The house was filled at o'clock, and
ten minutes later an hour before Mr..
Hughes reached the building, the doors
were closed by the police. Crowds were
turned away, but waited on the side
walks; for blocks around to see the
nominee as he passed by.
Mr.. Hughes had prepared his speech
in advance but did not adhere closely
to it's phraseolegy. He was applauded
again and again, and frequently after
outbursts of cheering and flag waving
he departed from his prepared text to
review more fully the point he was
discussing.
The speech Mr.. Hughes delivered last
night was. perhaps, the longest of his
campaign. He spoke more than an
hour and twenty minutes.

cency upon low administrative stand
ards" concluded Mr.. Hughes. I'VE can
not but wonder at the burden of taxa
ton which those now young will be
called upon to bear in middle life II we
do not give closer consideration to the
Improvement of our governmental
methods. Some day we must demand
a more businesslike administration of
the great activities of the federal gov
eminent. with fewer places for incom-
petence and less pork
: I'VE must conserve our material re-
sources and our human resources. I
am in deep sympathy with protection
of our children from being drawn too
early into Industrial struggles.
II want to see young America trained,
educated. physically strong and men
tally keen, with every opportunity for
the development of their aptitude.
Young America has the key to the fu-
ture. What kind of a country does
Young America want?"
