Of administration America needs oe-
elared:
ave must have men, efficient, trained,
who understand business, In charge OF
the departments of government, and
while Il is not a matter that excltes
anybody to great degree or sends
anv thrills down the spinal column,
am nevertheless going TO say that, y
am elected President, as ! expect to be,
we are going 10 have businessllke
administration OF our government"
In Fighting Trim
Those who have heard Mr.. Hughes
campaigning over most OF the United
States remarked that seldom has he
been in better fighting trim. He was
not only vigorous and appealing, but
ouick and witty. He touched on the
high cost Of living at one stage Of his
speech.
"The Democrats" he said, were go
ing to hit that old enemy the high
cost of living They said four years
ago that II was an ill-begottsn off
spring Of the Republican party. And
now Il is higher than before, but 1t has
returned to It's own fathers home"
Finally, Mr.. Hughes portrayed the
policy Of peace and Industrial prepared
ness that he believes Young America
wants to see. He assailed the war
prosperity" held up by the Wilson sup
porters as of their own creation and
warned his hearers of what will hap
pen without q protective tariff after
the millions of European fighting men
return from the trenches to the pur-
suits of peace.
1--WE have the equivalent o-day," he
declared, "of a prohibitive tariff erect
ed by the European war. A great high
wall. almost q Chinese Wall, because OF
the conditions on the other side. But
YOU cannot forget that when that wall
falls down you have the men on the
other side returning TO production.
No Special Privileges
T have not como back to political
life and left tho career TO which ] de-
sired to devote the remainder OF nv
days for the purpose of parcelling out
special privileges for few. All ! am
DESTROYS OF doing is that government
power be properly exercised for the
welfare of ali"
When he began his speech he re-
viewed with pride that was reflected
in the enthusiastic responses OF his
hearers the achievements Of Republi-
can administrations.
81 have always been q Republican
he said. "and have always been pro
gressive.
IL ask what kind Of q country does
Young America want! Let me see II
! can answer that question. As Young
America looks out upon the world and
! thinks Of its place in the future. In
the life Of a rapidly growing popula-
ton, he must desire that his country
should be respected throughout the
world. He does not desire any bra~-
CART assertion Of power: he does not
wish any policies OF aggression: he
does not desire strife. The burdens Of
war you'd fall upon Young America,
and Young America desires peace.
Wants Lasting Peace
But Young America must desire that
II be q lasting peace. a peace main
tanned through self-respect. II must
be a peace which will be conserved by
firm and consistent maintenance OF
American rights. and the flag must
ever stand az q symbol OF frmnoss. OF
con sistency, Of courageous and in
domitabls spirit, or strength never mis-
used. OF strength never unjustly APP
Piled. but Of strength which secures
The protection Of American citizens on
land and sea throughout the world.
