HUGHES TEARS
APART RECORD
Of DEMOCRATS.
CONSISTS OF WORDS &
BUT VERY, FEW DEEDS.
Tariff Bill, Child Labor, Anti.
Trust Law All Weak-The
Currency Bill a Steal.

MILWAUKEE. Wis, Sept. 20,
Charles Z. Hughes, before Il cheering
audience that filled the big auditorium
here tonight, outlined his attitude to-
ward the protection of American
rights as follows:
II propose that we shall protect and
enforce American rights Oh land and
sea without fear and unfinchingly
with respect to American lives, Ameri-
can property and American commerce.
We have no unstated policies, no Sc
cret understandings, no intrigues. We
stand four-squared to the world, rep
resenting the United States and it's in.
terests and its interests alone, first,
last and all the time"
Mr. Hughes reference to American
rights was contained in speech in
which he made reply, one by one. TO
what he termed Democratic claims
for having aided business, and out
lined the Republican program. In SO
doing, he dealt chiefly with subjects
discussed in President Wilson's speech
of acceptance. The shipping bill was
characterized as menace, the sooner
removed the better"
The Underwood tariff he called a
measure that must be undone il we
are to have sure basis of prosperity
in this country.
He reiterated that the antitrust
law, instead of being clarified by def
uition had been made more uncertain.
81 must say" he declared. referring
to the Democratic party, after having
read several Of their statutes, that
they are the most wonderful phrase
makers on record"
Not Democratic Measure.
The federal reserve act. the NOM
inee said, far from being Democratic
measure, pure and simple, was taken
in great part from material supplied
by a Republican commission and
draft of Republican bill.
whatever salvation from panic we
have had thus far was due to the. en-.
lightened foresight Of, the Republican
with the extension of the Aldrich RI
during the. threatened tinancial--Gaa
preston in the. early days Tof thel
European war.
The child labor law, Mr.. Hughes
said, failed 10 protect hundreds OF
thousands Of children Ut work in varl-
Gus states under Democratic admin
istrations.
Our opponents claim 10 have eman.
cipated children" he said. They have
not emanclpated children. Call the
roll OF states and YOU will find that
the states where children are eman-
cpated from 100 early labor are Re
publican states and that the states
where child labor still exists are
under Democratic CONTROL
