HUGHES DELIVERS
 WARNING TO ALLIES
Says He Would Not Tolerate h.
 reference With Business

Philadelphia, Oct. 10.-For the first llnle Tn his fight for the presidency. since ms speech of acceptance, Charles h. Hughes last night brought for ward the sinking of the Lusitania bv German submarine as a campaien issue, pointing out that as result of the sinking the Hives of American men, American women and American children were ruthlessly destroyed D
 He followed this with the declaration that we propose to protect Ameri- can lives on land and sea-"
 coming at time when German supmar1nes were sinking ships off the coast of the United States, the statement stirred up much specula- lon. It was greeted with enthusiastic applause. 1t was obvious that it had served to emphasize in the minds or ms auditors the fact that Germany had carried it's U-boat warfare to the shores of this country.
 MT. Hughes, in a statement issued earlier in the day at Newark, had let 1t be known. that he would not because of the U-boat exploits, as he did not wish to embarrass the admin 1stratlon in dealing with current events. He did not mention last night the newest phase of the inter- national relations between this coun- try and Germany.
 The nominee was in fine form. and was stirred to his best efforts by a, great crowd, which filled the huge Metropolitan Opera house to over flowing. He made his reference to the Lusitania part of a comprehen- slve declaration of his belief as to what should be the attitude of the government of this country in up- holding the rights of it's citizens.
 With the Lusitania out of the way he turned to the alleged wrongdoings of England and other allied coun- tries in their attitude toward the United States.
 T do not put life and property on the same footing" he said, and later added:
 Warning to Allies. We do not propose to tolerate any improper interference with American property, with American mails, or with legitimate commercial inter- course. No American who is exer- clslng only American rights shall be put on any blacklist by any foreign nation.''
 Mr. Hughes did not mention Eng land or France. but he made his 1 meaning plain. Then came this dec- Iaration:
 T repeat in Philadelphia what I said in Milwaukee: We have no in trigues, no unstated purposes, no covert understandings or arrange ments. We stand four-square to the 1 world, representing the United States and it's interests. and it's interests alone, first, last and all the time"
 The crowd. which earlier in the evening had started long demon stration at the mention of the name of Roosevelt by President Riddell of

ethey limit it to 20 per cent of the employees, and those the highest paid? Why did they not give 100 per cent. the benefit of the judgment of society. Why cannot we have things dealt with candidly. Why do they except electric railroads? Are not these men entitled to a fair show? Why do they except railroads less than 100 miles in length? Does the judg- ment of society stop there? The bill on it's face shows that this sug gestion of the judgment of society was a mere pretense."
 A resolution said to have been adopted by the American Federation of Labor in November, 1914, and ap- port of the nominees declaration that proved a year later, was cited in SUD- la Dor had gone on record for the prin- ciples of regulation of wages and hours through trades union activity and not by legislation"
 Continuing, he said the Adamson act was "a decided blow at the prin- ciple of collective bargaining, which labor has stood for, as opposed to the principle of fixing hours and wages by legislation. If wages can be in- creased by legislation, they can be decreased. If powers are going to override judgment and secure govern mental action, before the justice of the case is known, that is a thing that can work both ways, according to the powers that are powerful at particular time

ignoble, personal war; against Huer- ta. John Lind's alleged authoriza- tion to state that "Huerta would be put out,' the occupation of Vera
 Cruz, the sending of the punitive ex- petition into Mexico, and the failure of the American troops to utilize Mexican railways were points upon which MT. Hughes touched. i Has America forgotten Carrizal 2" he asked. What was that? Peace | or war?'
 One ''brave officer,'' the nominee said he had been informed stricken with pneumonia, was compelled to travel four days in an army wagon over rough roads in intense suffering,
 and died in the camp tc which he was thus removed This followed the
 ''cIrt refusal by Carranza authori- t:es to allow the American troops to use the roads.
 We have not been kept out of
 war;" Mr. Hughes repeated. We have had intermittent peace without honor, and intermittent war without honor. We cannot see now in what
 particular sort of mess We shall find things in March next. But this much is certain If entrusted With responsi- i hility, we shall be able to have it un derstood that there will be no med ding in matters which do not con- cern us: that we shall not simply talk Ot the rights of other states, but shall observe them; and, further that at ali events, the lives and property of American citizens will be protected" In Newark the candidate had an
 audience of 5000 people, He spoke from the bandstand in Military park. He renewed his attack on the Ada m
 son eight hour law, and was literally
 applauded.

 This Simple Ldxnt1pe
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Relieved Her Baby When
 Nothing Else Would.

Little Max Pendergast is now four years old, and a fine healthy boy. When but a tiny baby, in fact alm ost from birth, he suffered a great deal from constipation. His mother Mrs. Carl w. Pendergast Red Key, Ind, heard of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, !, obtained a bottle of it from the drug store, and with it was able to quickly correct this condition.
 Mrs. Pendergast says Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin has saved them from calling the doctor many times, and that she will never be without a bot tie of it in the house to use when needed. She found it equally effective as a laxative for herself and other members of the family.
 Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin, pleasant to the taste, mild in action and positive in effect. It does not gripe or strain, and con- tainS no opiate or narcotic drug. It is the ideal family laxative, mild and pIeasan for baby, yet acting quickly on the strongest constitution. -

referred to the fact that as a boy l attended the Newark High school which he entered just forty-three years ago. Passing on to the issues of the campaign, he advocated a prOtec- tive tariff for the benefit of the work ing men and said his record at Albany proved him to be friend of labor.
 Then he took up the Adamson bill. He said he approved the principle of the eight-hour day, but the Adamson bill was not an eight hour bill but a wage increase bill. He developed this 1dea along the lines of his previous speeches on the subject and quoted Senator Underwood, dem ocrat, to Np- Told his contention that the law was not an eight hour law, but a wage measure.
 Calls Bill a Subterfuge.
 Now, why is it." he went on, that we are continually talked to about an eight hour day in connection with a bill that does not provide eight hour work day at all. The reason is that they know very well that if they call it by it's right name they expose the evil, which consisted in putting the thing through without any chance for any inquiry, solely under a sub- tCrfuge.
 "Now, it was said that the judg- ment of society had passed upon the matter of an eight-hour day, and that is urged to support this bill Well, now, if the judgment of society had passed upon an eight-hour work day for railroads, why did not the presi- dent ask congress to provide 1t? Why did not congress provide it?
 Further if the judgment of so- ciety had passed upon this, why did

they increase rates. We have got to do what is just, even if rates are in1 creased.
 What I oppose is taking delicate and difficult, intricate matter of this sort, and under duress, under pres sure, without anybody knowing whether it is good or bad, having a. surrender of executive power and federal power in congress and rush. ing a bill through putting a flat in- crease on. That is not American government, and I am opposed to it.''

suffered fire losses Of more than Sl5.
100000 and a number OF lives were
lost The greatest sufferer was our
own fair little city o. Paris. This ter

there Is a warning for our home
town Bryan-the same as all other
places. It has been dry here as well
as elsewhere. the same inflammable
conditions exist and only a spark. a
match, a piece OF burning paper
blown by the wind. would start the
conflagration. Every citizen should
interest himself at once, and every
fire hazard about residences and bust

to reduce the danger Of fires TO the
lowest possible minimum. A little

us from a fire tragedy that would be
