SPEECH BEFORE RENO

CUT ALMOST In HALF
Failure To Protect American Citizens
In Mexico UnbecOming to Our
National Dignity.

Reno, New, Aug. 23.-Charles Ev-
ans Hughes said in an address deliv-
cred here late today that the prestige
of the United States has been cut
practically in half as a result of its
dealings with Mexico. The nominee
reiterated his previous declarations
for an adequate protective tariff and
again took the Administration to
task for retiring trained men from
diplomatic service Ito make room
for six men without any special quail
ifications other than party loyalty"
Mr.. Hughes said he deplored the
fact that the present AdminisIra-
tion has Ito such a large degree dis
regarded and violated the principles
of our merit system"

Prestige Lowered.
but that does not mean that our
rights are to be ignored, that we are
to be lacking in the protection of
those rights that are known to per-
tain to American citizens. Our con-
duct in Mexico in failing to protect
| the rights of our citizens down there
cut down our international prestige,
| should say practically one-half. 1t
is a very serious thing for a nation
to be known as willing to forego
those primary obligations of main
tanning the rights of it's citizens which
every nation has"
Mr.. Hughes said that in other ma
lions diplomacy is great profess
sion; that men enter the lower grades
and are. promoted until they reach
the highest opportunities of diplo-
matte agency. 1--WE were making a
/ fine start in that way" he continued.
I'VE had a number of men who
started in the lower ranks, men who
had gone thru several grades, start
ing in as attaches or secretaries, ap-
pointed to this place or that place
obtaining a splendid repute, very
important knowledge and training.
And it has been lamentable to see
under this Administration man after
man of that description removed from
the service, taken right out after
years of devotion to the service, and
retired only to make room for men
without any special qualifications,
other than party loyalty. That was
done conspicuously in Latin-Ameri-
ca, despite our profession of de-
sire to cultivate the closest relations
with Latin America, the Importance
of which is very obvious.
How is the great U. S. the exem-
plar of Republican institutions to
stand before our sister republics in
this hemisphere if we play politics
with the agencies of diplomatic in
tercourse and fail to honor training
and experience? That sort of thing
won't do. If you put me in office
pledge you that we will see to it that
we are represented by men who will
commend themselves to the coun-
tries where they serve and raise the
standard of our diplomacy"
Reason For Protection.
Mr.. Hughes. again gave his reasons
for favoring a protective tariff and
then said:
"Our friends still insist that we
shall not foster industry by the tar
if. Why, if we proceed to their
theory what would become of the In
dustries of the state of Nevada. What
would become of the protection ne
cessary for the enterprises of Cali
fornia. This whole section of the
country needs the fostering care of
government, not that we should have
private persons secure an unfair ad-
vantage at the public expense. But
we should have fairly applied a
principle which makes and diffuses
all over the country a condition
where wages are higher and stand
ards of living are higher than those
in any other part of the world.
Mr.. Hughes held a night meeting
in the Majestic Theater. He left
this city for Ogden, Utah, at 3
o'clock.
