the parade which included delega-
tions and bands from Goshen, Nap

several other surrounding towns
and communities. Red fire lighted
up Main St, along which the parade
passed. for several blocks, making
an impressive sight.

the vice president TO the audience.
he spoke Of the record made by the
Indiana statesman and former gov
ernor and the nominee was greeted
with an extensive ovation when he
took the platform.
q. o. T.. Has no Issue.
Marshall opened by declaring he
could find no issue which has been
raised by the republicans. He de-
clares Hughes is opposing most
everything the democrats have done
but has failed thus far to propose a
remedy for any of the so-called
evils The vice president said the
republican candidate was doing bet
ter than had been expected under
the circumstances.
But" he continued. Il don't
sleep all the time while presiding
over the United States senate. 1
the other half l have heard repub-
lican senators say everything
Hughes is now saying in his cam
paign."
Il favor an eight hour working
day law" the vice president de-
clared in discussing the recently
passed Adamson bill. Il favored II
back in 1889 when the republican
legislature of Indiana passed a bill
with such provisions. We must
have the eight hour day or this
country will see a social revolution.
Not Forced to Pass Bill.
Congress was neither forced,
coerced or even asked by the unions
70 pass the Adamson bill. II is an
outrage TO assert that force was
used in enacting the law. But sup
pose the unions did force the bill
If you remember. Taft declared in
a speech that schedule X of the tariff
bill was wrong, but that the wool
producers had congress by the
throat. Well. then hasn't the labor
ing man right TO choke justice out
Of the democratic party"
Marshall aSsailed the Hughes Ia
Dor record saying. that we do not
want a man &c weep soggy tears
over the labor situation when his
history does not justify it"
The president discussed ar
bitration and an international court
of arbitration for nations. In deal
ing with the AdamsOn bill Mr.. Mar
shall pointed out that Hughes
charges the democrats with not in
vestigating'' before passing the eight
hour law. He used a story 10 illus
trate. stating at the same time that
physicians. lawyers and others real
~ belong 10 unions. agreeing TO
charge certain prices for certain
work.
Supposing your wife 8 III and
YOU ask a surgeon TO operate on
