Mr.. Hughes Address.

He spoke, in part. as follows:
Il come to this hall with peculiar
emotions. Here, a little less than two
months ago. the republican national
convention nominated me for the office
of President of the United States.
had not sought that nomination; l did
not desire that nomination; l was con-
tented with my work, and looked for
ward to the fulfilling of the allotted
period of life, in work that was con-
genial and of highest Importance to
the American people. But when that
call came it did not admit of an in
stants hesitation. 1t meant but one
thing: summons to an obvious obli-
CATION; and as l was, while on the
bench. 100 per cent a Judge, l then
became 100 per cent a candidate.
Il desired, if the American people so
wilied, to dedicate myself to the cause
of American government, not for parti-
san expediency, not for friends, not for
poltlcai supporters, but for the Ameri-
can people solely
hold the highest partisan expedi-
ency to be an administration of capacity
FOR service to the country.

ment of the foolish, for the foolish and
by the foolish

You must have regard for the eco
nomic independence of this country. We
have learned a few things of late.
Those that were talking tariff for reve-
nue. only are nov whispering very soft
ly about tariff commission. A little
while ago we heard in the democratic
platform of 1912 that it was contrary
to the Constitution of the United States
to have protective tariff. That was
in effect-of course not in words, but
the words mean simply this--they say.
in effect now, that the European war
has changed the Constitution of the
United States.
'They have been preaching a doc
trine for generations which, looking at
what they call the economic revolu-
tiop produced by the great conflict
abroad, they hardly utter today.
But do you think they are converted
Don't you trust them a little minute
with protecting American industry;
they haven't got it in the bones. and
they go to it like a skittish horse
to a brass band. You couldn't get a
decent protectionist measure out of a
democratic Congress sectionally organ

Needs of the Coming Day.

II desire that there shall be business
methods which will meet the needs of
the coming day-indeed, of this day.
We must learn to have cooperation.
We cannot afford to be running along
without any regard to business stand
ards We need examination of costs.
comparison of costs, fair understand
ing of methods, testing out of meth
ods, an exchange of information. an en-
deavor to ascertain what method is a
good one, where waste can be avoided,
what can be inte1ligently used in order
to promote the business of a given in
duStry.
TT is in that way that our laboring
men will find the greatest opportunities
for increase in wages.
"The republican party is the great
national party. l tell you. my friends.
the present administration is a sectional
administration, and there is a profound
truth in that.

Words or Deeds, which,

If anything in this campaign is real
II is that we are now facing the ques-
ton whether we want words or whether
we want deeds; whether we want that
which is written and spoken, or
whether we want American action in
the interests of the American people.
worthy of the American name. main
tanning the American honor and but
tressing the prosperity of the United
States.
"one Of the very serious charges
whlch must be laid against the present
administration is the charge of putting
incompetent men into important posi-
tions. That is not for the benefit of
democracy And 1 now, in this place
where was nominated, without any
regard to political future, say this:
That If l am elected President of the
United states l propose that every man
that l put in charge of an important
department shall be a man eminentIy
mt to discharge the duties Of that de-
partment
Il propose that in diplomatic service
training shall count something. 1 pro-
pose that when a man goes from this
country to represent the great Ameri-
can people in another nation-and 1 do
not care whether it is small nation
| or big nation, for we want our infiu-
ence in small and great propose that
that man shall be a worthy representa-
tive to whom the people whom he is ac-
credited to will look with respect and
esteem, seeing in him the efficiency of
the great United States.

Charles E. Hughes Charges
the Administration With
Waste and Extravaganza.
MAKES ADDRESS IN HALL
WHERE HE WAS NOMINATED
Tells Vast Chicago Audience What
He Would Do if He Were
President.

CHICAGO, August 9.-Charles f.
Hughes last night told an audience
that crowded Chicago's great Coliseum
the hall where he was nominated for
the presidency-what he would do If
elected President of the United States.
Mr.. Hughes charged the present ad-
ministration with waste, extravaganza
and vacillation. He declared that it
had not kept the country out of war.
but that it had fought an ignominious
war in Mexico and had withdrawn from
that war ignominiously. He charged
the administration with having brought
the country much nearer to participa-
ton in the European war than the
country would have been had the ad-
ministration stood for American
rights"
Mr. Hughes spoke for nearly an hour.
He entered a hall that was SO jam
med that even the steel cross girders
were utilized for seats. The audience
cheered him for five minutes before he
spoke. A band perched in a loft at
the far end of the hall played three
stanzas of THE Star Spangled Banner"
during the demonstration, but the
music was lost in the volume of other

OF waste and extravaganza They said
that they were going to be economical.
When they get in they were more
wssteful and more extravasant than
any administration had ever been.

Baron Observation-Disclosures continues:
Our vital force is in no wise eN-
