Hughes and Fairbanks Speak.

Peoria, Sept. 19.-Charles E. Hughes,
opening his second presidential cam
paign trip, In an address here today
characterized the democratic party as
a party of broken promises which
now presents extravagant claims"
The nominee declared that the claims
by President Wilson were extravagant
and that nothing Of the sort had been
accomplished
Il believe he said, that credit
should be given where credit is due
but I think 1t important that no man
should claim he has done what he has
not DONE
The democratic party promised to
reduce the cost of living. They have
not done it They promised to pre-
vent waste and extravangance. They
nave been more extravagant in the last
congress than any preceding congress
our opponents promised to Apply
the principles of the merit system
They have betrayed the merit system
They promised to reduce the USE
less office. Instead they have ap-
pointed useless officers.
They promised that the rights OF
American citizens should be enforced
thruout the world. They have shame
lessly failed to perform that promise
The republican party stands fol
constructive policies. First of all We
propose to protect American lives on
land and sea. We have no secret in
trlgues. We propose that American
rights shall be treated with respect to

NO GROUND ON WHICH
TO BASE COMPLAINT


Sinking Of italian Bark Stella del Mars,
Carrying American Seamen, Will Not
Result in Protest From United States
to Germany.
Washington. Sept. 19.-No ground for
complaint to the Teutonic powers was
found by state department officials In
the summary received today from the
consul at Barcelona Of affidavits made
by two American sailors who belonged
to the crew Of the Italian bark Stella
del Mare. sunk fortnight ago or the
Spanish coast The bark Is believed to
have been torpedoed but the statements
Of the American seamen are regarded
as too inconclusive to furnish the basis
for diplomatic inquiry.
Department officials indicated that
the German government probably
would be asked for any information
available as to the sinking OF the
steamer Kelvinia on which there were
twenty eight American muleteers. AL
tho official reports have left in doubt
the question as to whether the ship was
torpedoed or struck mine, some of the
Americans have made affidavit that she
was attacked by submarine without
warning.
The case of the American steamer
Owego is considered closed with the
explanation from Germany that she re-
sisted an order to stop.
