HUGHES MOTORS
THROUGH RAIN
TO MAKE SPEECH
Speaks on Tariff at Bingham
ton; Need Protection as Well
as Revenue

Binghamton, \. Y, Sept. 29.-Charles
e. Hughes motored through the first
rainstorm he has experienced since
commencing his campaign, August 5,
to address an audience in the Opera
House here to-day. 1t was his first
speech of the day.
The strenuous program laid before
him by the national chairman was
vetoed by the nominee himself, who
merely appeared on the rear platform
of his car so that the crowds might see
him at stations between Saratoga and
Binghamton. 1t had been arranged
to have him speak at these stations,
but at the last moment ii was decided
to have local speakers take his place
so that he might conserve his voice.
Mr.. Hughes spoke of the protective
tariff. II tell you. fellow citizens" he
said, I'VE are facing a critical period.
1t is no time to be talking of a tariff
for revenue only. We need protection
to our industries, and there is no man
in the country to-day who can tell you
where the Democratic party stands
with respect to protection of American
interests.
1T takes all of us, too. to make the
United States ana to make our country
prosperous, and We'll never do it un-
less labor and capital work together
amicably.''
The nominee renewed his attack on
bill. He declared that he would like
to see an eight-hour workday," but
that he stood squarely for investigation
before legislation and would mot yield
an inch either to labor or capital in
that principle.
Chccrcd by Ten Thousand
Ten thousand persons, packing the
paddock in front of the grandstand at
the Interstate Fair. at Trenton, yes
terday, heard Mr.. Hughes advocate a
protected American market and, in
President Wilson's home state, in the
capitol where Mr.. Wilson long was
Governor. also heard him criticise the
policies of the President and of the
Democratic party.
The great crowd applauded heartily
as the Republican candidate for Presi-

bill, ridiculed the claim that Mr.. Will

war and pleaded for Republican vic

Says That the Country Boys
and Girls Should Be Given
Best of Schooling

The message we took to the
people of the farming counties OF
pennsylvania was that the State
government wants to help them
not only to improve the living
conditions in the country, to get
better highways and to secure for
them the educational advantages
to which they are entitled but to
aid them to raise a greater food
supply and to market it so that
1t will meet the demands and
give them fair return. I be-
lieve that the folk in the rural
communities realize that and know
they are going to do their share.
l asked them to elect Legislators
who would look after the inter-
ests of our whole State, who would
be in sympathy with them and
who would do the right thing.
Pennsylvania is too big a State
to bother with little men. We
have great problems in a COM
monwealth with such varied in
dustries and such a growing pop
ulation and we want the best
brains we can get. We must look
out for the future generations
and not only fulfill the tasks al
lotted to us, but pull together"
