Saved by European War.


Mr.. Hughes reviewed the Industrial
depression of 1913.
What saved the situation" he
asked. The democratic party No.
The democratic party had ruined the
situation. sWhat saved the situation
was the European war. II it had not
been for the extraordinary demands
created by that struggle. we could not
have much to talk about in this cam
paign, for / believe the American peo-
pie would have been rising from one
end OF the land to the other to Sc
cure an administration which would
| properly conserve American interests
NO, they did not aid business; they
| have not aided business. What they
/ have done has been to build on repub-
| lican foundations, and the best part OF
their workmanship is taken from re-
4 publican materials. What. they have

Many Children Unprotected.
The child labor law, Mr.. Hughes said.
failed to protect hundreds of thousands
of children at work in various states
under democratic administrations.
Our opponents claim to have eman-
cipated children" he. said. They have
not emancipated children. Call the roll
of the states. and you will find that
the states where children are emanci-
pated from too early labor are repub-
lican states. and that the states where
child labor still exists are under demo-
cratic control"
The federal workman's compensation
law, the nominee reiterated, should be
made to protect others than the federal
employees under its scope. 1t should
extend to all persons engaged in pur-
suits of interstate commerce.
In outlining republican policies. Mr..
Hughes said he stood for protection of
American rights. protective tariff, for
the principle of arbitration of indus
trial disputes. the protection of labor.

Treasury for efficiency in government,
and for "a government according to the

Blows at American Business.

In his reference to the shipping bill
and the Underwood tariff, Mr.. Hughes
said, in part:
There are two acts which are stated
to be aids to business, which, on the
other hand, were direct blows to Ameri-
can business. 1 will mention the last
of these first, the shipping bill. a bill
which is a menace to American in
dustry.
1T unjustifiably introduces the gov
eminent into the shipbulding BUSH
ness. 1t at this time may be practi-
cable in operation because Of the extraor-
binary conditions which preclude the
purchase of ships at normal prices or
the building of ships in yards already
overworked. But 1t remains a menace
to the shipping industry and the sooner
that aid to business is removed as a
menace of that great industry of the
country the better it will be for the
shipping interests of the United States.
Then there is that other aid to bust
ness, which they call an aid to bust
ness, but which has been SO serious a
blow to business. l mean the tariff,
formulated in 1913, which removed the
proper protection needed for the de-
velopment of American industry.
have said that abuses had to a large
degree been corrected. Gov. Phillip

my lot to put forth in that direction.
Il put the flag up in New York that
the public interest was supreme. I
