 Much at Stake.
 In his speech at the Wigwam Mr. Hughes said:
 We have soc respect for law and order in this country, and I tell you that every workingman has more at stake in that than anybody else in the community. There Is no one that has so much at stake in the orderly pro- cesses of government as the plain man, who has nothing but his wages between him and serious distress; and what we want in this country I stop here to say that I understand that word has gone out through la boz circles in official channels to vote against me, and know perfectly we'll that I am saying a profound truth, and every union labor man knows it that nobody can direct or control the labor vote of this country That vote is going to be cast according to it's sound Judgment, according to it's sound judgment, according to what the men think is right and fair. This is an American government, and our workingmen are the best citizens we have, because they are producing and working, and l have the utmost con- fdence ir the freedom of their judg- ment, according to their conscience, uncontrolled by any power.
 ''We have been hearing of late some thing or other about what has been done for labor, and some have begun recently to labor. We have had talk about an eight-hour workday bill. The Adamson bill was not an eight-hour workday bill. Things that are right can go by their right names. Things that are right do not have to trade on improper designations. You do not have to resort to masquerade or if you are right upon the merits"

 lican party moving forward to vic-
 and service for the nation. The

 leaders of the reunited party for
 effective work"

 Sc of the campaign there are x y extravagant claims and preten-
 put forward, but the American
 ole recognize, as the campaign
