delivered through Kan'as ycstrrday
Hughes took occasion 10 elaborate his
views on the necessity for unity &C

Nashville Next Point.
In st. Louis today the norinee wss
the central figure in an anrpmobile
parade on his arrival sh1Jtiy after
eight O'Clock, and was to speak at
luncheon under the auspices of the
business mems league at the Missouri
Athletic club. Late in the afternoon
he was to shake hands with the public
at the Hotel Jefferson and at night
speak in the Coliseum. Tomorrow he
will rest, leaving at night for Nash
vile.
Those close to the candidate indicat-
ed today that the governor intended
particularly to dwell on the principle
of exclusive federal control of the
militia which he enunciated at last
night S meeting at Kansas City and on
the Mexican policy and speeches dur
ing the next few days. He intends, it
was said, more specifically to outline
exactly what measures he advocates to
correct the abuses in government which
he ascribes to the democratic admins
tration. Governor Hughes has been
considerably riled over ddnocratic
declarations that his campaign so far
has exhibited mostly complaints with
out indicating corrective and eonstruc-
tive remedies. Tonight he proposes to
answer these declarations, while still
thrusting away in critical analysis of
what he considers democratic effici'
ency.
Talks to Businessmen.
In his address to members of the
businessmen IS league at the Missouri
Athletic club association, Hughes said
the time had arrived in national pro-
gress when "capital and labor must
cooperate with sense of their mutual
dependence.
Labor and capital are but two
phases of one great problem which ALL
as expressed in the declaration of in
dependence are trying to solve the fact
that in American life cooperation and
efficiency are the keynote words of
the dav. 1t must be cooperation with
sense of mutual dependence.
Referring to labor and capital dis
putes. Hughes declared that the two
must 90 up or down together
"Capital and labor cannot get along
in antagonism,' he said. "There will
always be differences, but these diff
ferences must not be in deep sense OF
class antagonism.
Candidate Hughes declared that tins
country was suffering from "vagne
legislation" " He said one drawback
in the settlement of problems is the
.indefinite form in legislation. The
expressions used in legislative acts are
in vague terms and do not meet the
demands of the time"
Hughes said it was his ambition to
aid in defining legislation affecting
business so that the public would have
a fair and clear idea as to the facts
and the legislation could not be mis-
construed. Hughes declared he be.
