omaha Neb., oct 16.-Charles E,
inches closed his campaign In Ne
hroska today with addresses to four
.,,liences of farmers at Hastings,
Grand island, columbus and Fremont,
and a meeting in the auditorium here
tonight.
The station, the nearby viaduct ana
the streets in the vicinity were crowd
"a when the Hughes special reached
omaha. The nominees way to the
hotel for much of the distance was
bqtweeu lines of parked automobiles
whose occupants cheered and sounded
,hoir sirens in a welcome that blotted
ont tbe music of the brass band in
the lead. Crowds lined the sidewalks
almost the entire distance from sta
non to hotel and many of those who
welcomed him at the station fell INTO
line with the automobile parade ana
accompanied him.
Candidate Is Tired.
Mr. Hughes reached omaha some
what tired and in poor voice. His day
WAS a busy one, beginning with an
address at Hastings in which he as
sailed the administration for the
Adamson and Underwood laws ana
declared that those who are declalm-
ing to the American public about in
visible government had better re-
member that when | was in executive
responsibility in the state Of New
York there was no invisible govern
ment in that state"
In his speeches today and aBalh
here tonight, the nominee again an
swered the argument that a vote lor
me means a vote for war"
when we criticize our opponents
action i'm connection with foreign al
fairs" Mr.. Hughes said, we are told
that we must desire war A more
bankrupt justification l cannot imag-
me
viii Deceive No One.
"A more preposterous suggestion l
cannot conceive! 1t is said and pro
claimed as though the American cleo
torate could be deceived by sucl
words that a vote for me means a
vote for war Why | am devoted and
my whole life has been devoted to the
Institutions of peace! Is 1t concelV-
able that any one should desire the
horror and wastes of war? Is 1t con-
ceivable that at this time, with an
Europe in arms, any one should be
under misapprehension as to what
war means?
What we do say is that 1t is NOT
the path of peace, but path that
leads to insult, resentment and war
If you do not fearlessly maintain the
known rights of our country
Fnmness Prevents War.
I'VE are set here under the proVl-
Gence Of God, in a grand country
where we have no relations but what
may be peaceful relations. You have
an the machinery of an organized
peaceful society But what lies back
Of it? There lies back of it the force
Of organized society that holds it TO-
gether and gives its sanction. Thal
sanction of force behind it does not
lead YOU to riot and disorder; 1t nam
tains the peace of your community.
"It is perfectly idle to suppose tha'
when we have known rights under IN
tcnational law, to advance them IN a
firm and convincing way, means war
it means self-respeCt, it means the
esteem of foreign nations, 1t means
prestige and international influence
We cannot serve humanity If we sac
nfice our own dignity, if we degrade
our own citizenship, if we forfeit our
own rights. | say. stand for Amerl'
can rights stand for peace; stand Tor
security, erect before the world. ano
then YOU serve humanity"
says President Sidesteps.
Someone told me today Mr.
Hughes said. "and it seems at times
TO be the case, that the motto of the
present administration is a problem
solved"
The nominee faced a house that
gave him a three minute cheer oi
Welcome Every seat was taken and
all the standing room in the rear oil
the hall was crowded, many deep. In
the galleries at the far end of the
han there were at times, confusion
and Interruptions which the nominee
took, in one instance, to mean an at
tempt to heckle him on the Adam
son law.
There has been a whisper back
there in the gallery" Mr.. Hughes said
'of someone, | think who wants to
Know my views on the Adamson law
don't propose to leave here till
tell him"
The nominee reiterated his attack
on the administration for the enact
ment Of the law, closing his speech
with IT. The crowd stood, waved
ilags and cheered.
1T is a time for taking account OF
