Mr.. Hughes Says Democratic
Party Failed in All 1t

DENUNCIATION OF
ADAMSON BILL
Democrats a Party of Brok-
en- Promises, He
Declares

Peoria, ILL.,, Sept. 20. - Charles T..
Hughes, opening his second presidential
campaign trip in an address here yes
terday, characterized the Democratic
party as party of broken promises,
which now presents extravagant claims"
The nominee took up point after point
touched in President Wilson's speech OF
acceptance and declared that "the claims
made therein were extravagant and that
nothing OF the sort had been accom-
plished."
81 believe Mr. Hughes said, that
credit should be given where credit is
due, but | think it important that no
man should claim to have done what he
hasn't done"
Mr.. Hughes address was made at the
Republican state convention. Continu-
ing he said;
Our opponents present record of
broken promises. They promised to re-
duce the cost of living. They have not
touched it.
They promised to prevent waste and
extravaganza. They have been more ex-
travagant in the recent Congress, as
am informed on unimpeachable author
ity, than any preceding Congress.
sour opponnts promised to reduce use
less offices. Instead they have created
useless offices.
"our opponents promised to apply the
principles of the merit system. They
have betrayed the merit system.
"Our opponents promised that the
rights of American citizens should be
maintained throughout the world their
rights with respect to life and property.
They have shamelessly failed to perform
that promise.
Acts are facts and eXtravagant claims
cannot deceive the intelligent electorate.
Our opponents claim they have clari
fed the antitrust law by definition. |
may say here and now that they have
done nothing of the sort. They claim TO
have recuperated the merchant marine. |
They have done nothing of the sort.
"The federal reserve act, as endorsed |.
by the administratio and presented to |
Congress, was a wholly unavoidable bill /
Our opponents claim TO have enamel /
pated child labor. As body, they have /
not emancipated child labor
1T is said that American business has +
been aided, and it is the most extraordi- I
nary claim of abby the passage of the /
Underwood bill. There is the true rela-
ton OF our opponent to our American /
1t was a bill which closed
halted industry, and sent forth
our workingmen in hundreds of thou
sands on the street looking for employ
ment
ran aid to business-yes, that is the
of our opponents OF what is
IN aid to American industry. The sooner
we get away from that situation and
rust American enterprise and believe in
he Republican doctrine of protection to
American industry, the sooner we will
ay the basis for enduring prosperity in
his country"

The Hague, Sept. 20.-Queen Wilhel.
nina struck warlike note in her speech
at the opening session of Parliament yes

She told Parliament that important
steps to strengthen the Dutch forces to

trality are being taken and that the sup.
plv OF war materials and munitions is

Washington, Sept, 20.-American cor

making inquiries at Mexico City.

poses to increase to a contiscatory rate

TROPICAL HURRICANE
STRIKES ON GULF COAST

New Orleans. July Ga severe
wind and rain storm, which, according
TO weather bureau officials, was part
OF the tropical hurricane reported the
last few days i'll the Gulf of Mexico,
passed inland today sweeping along
the southeastern coast of Louisiana,
the lower Mississippi and Alabama
coasts and the northwestern part of
Florida. The center Cf the storm APP
parently passed over Pensacola, Mobile
and the cities along Mississippi Sound,
but up to early tonight nothing had
been learned as to tho extent of the
damage either at Mobile or Pensacola,
as all efforts to communicate with
those cities by land wires and radio
had been unsuccessful. The storm
seemed to be moving generally north
west,

DOOLY COUNTY. LIVE STOCK
CENSUS is COMPLETED

Macon, July IL. Z. Lowe, of the
state department of agriculture, who
has been taking a cattle and swine cen
sus of several counties in middle Geor-
gia in the interest of the establishment
Of packing plant in Macon, has just
completed the census of Dooly 'coun-
ty. he reports a total of 20,002 head
Of hogs and 2,SOS head of cattle in the
county.
The showing of Dociy county is con-
sidersd a good one and is pointed to
an excellent argument in favor of the
building of the proposed packing
plant. The farmers of that county
have informed Mr. Lowe that all they
need IS the assurance of a ready mar
ket to induce them to engage in the
live stock business on a much larger
scale.

SMITH WANTS TO KEEP
LIQUOR ADS OUT OF U. S. MAIL

Washing, D. c., July, 6.-Senator
Hoke Smith offered today a bill to
prohibit the transportation through
the mails to any state where the ad'
vertisement of intoxicating liquors
is prohibited, of"any letter, postal, cir
cular or pamphlet offering for sale,
soliciting the purchase of, or adver-
Using intoxicating liquors. Penal
ties for violations are fines and i'm,
prisonment.
This is similar to the amendment
offered by Senator James of Washing
ton to the postoffice appropriation
bill, which failed to receive two
thirds majority, although it did receive
bare majority. Senator Smith will
seek to bring the BIZ, UP on it's merits
and feels confident it will pass. Sen
ator iIardwick opposes the idea and
will fight it.
The Smith bill would prevent liquor
advertisements or solicitations for
business being sent into Georgia, since
the state forbids it's own newspapers
publishing liquor advertisements.

LAW ENFORCEMENT BILL
ARGUED AND VOTED DOWN

Atlanta, July THE senate judici
airy committe this afternoon decided
to report adversely the bill by Presl-
dent Persons to enforce protection OF
prisoners in the charge of sheriffs and
to automatically suspend sheriff for
neglect to offer protection. The bill
was argued at length as one of the
proposed law enforcement bills. 1t is
taken as an indication that some OF
the present members probably on ac-
count of the campaign year are going
to be awfully slow in passing enforce
ment laws legislation.
The fight to pass the bill will be tax
en- to the floor of the senate despite
the committees report

Ter wall paper. The Technical World
magazine tells some of the advantages
of using this material: 1t can be pur-
chased and placed in position at less
cost ihan can the old material the
room can be kept at a more even tenn
perature; workmen have little trou-
bile learning to use the new material.

POUNDING HARD
GERMAN LINES
BRITISH MEET MOST BITTER RE-
SisTf NcE-FRENcH CAPTURE
WHOLE GERMAN SECOND LINE
SOUTH OF SOMMl.

London. July 7-Having captured
the whole German second line south
of the Somme from the river to Bailey
the French have resumed operations
north Of the river. They have cleared
theh bank almost to Clery. The
French at Sermont farm also threaten
Clery.
The British are still heavily engag
ed from Hardicourt to Gommecourt
They have maintained their gains and
in some places have extended them, de
spite heavy German counter-attacks
AS German trenches are taken evil
dence accumulates of the deadly exc
cution of the artillery. In some cases
so per cent Of the defenders were
killed.
The British losses vary. Some units
attacking where machine guns were
still nndamaged, suffered heavily. 9th
ers accomplished their tasks with only
slight losses.
Instead of causing the Germans to
lessen their efforts at Verdun, the An
glo-French attacks seem to have in
creased their determination, possibly
in the hope of preventing the French
from sending reinfurcements to the
Somme.
British observers express statistic
tion with the progress made. 1t is
believed here that the Germans pow
er of resistance must have been weak
ened by the heavy casualtis from the
bombardment and then taking of 49,
600 prisoners and a great quantity Of
war material, together with losses in
flicted in counter-attacks.
The Russians continue to record sue
cesses, some of great Importance,
along the whole front from Riga to the
Carpathians. They have crossed the
railway between Delatyn, west of Ko-
lomea, Kcrnsmezo, on the main lines
between Galacia and Hungary, upon
which the Austrians depend largely to
supply their armies at Stanislau and
before 1arnopol. This places General
Bothmer's army i'll a mort dangerous
position. 1t is thought he may with
draw toward Lemburg.
In The Lutsk salient at Baranoyichi
the Russians claim they are making
progress and to have repulsed coun-
ter-attacks.
German correspondents express the
opinion that General Kuropatkin is
preparing an offensive in the Wilma
region,
The Caucasus situation is confusing.
Turkinsh and Russian statements vary
more ihan usual. Both claim victory
in the Achoruk region, on the Russian
right Ii appears, however, that the
Russians right is drawing back to-
ward the Black Sea, the extreme left
it retiring across the Persian border
in the Kermanshah district, and the
center is advancing from Jaiburt south
to west of the lakes Van and Urumiah.
