 SAN FRANCISCO, Aug, 1S- Charles F. Hughes told an audience here tonight that he had no concern with local differences in politics. but the great national aim" he had in view transcended all possible local differences, and that he regarded the republican party as reunited. in- spired by lofty traditions" and de- oted to the accomplishment of great achievements.
 Before making his address Mr Hughes had conferences with leaders over differences in California between progressives and republicans. In his address he said:
 T come here as the spokesman of the national republican party. With local differences I have no concern. The great national aim have in view transcend all possible local differ ences and we are together reunited, inspired by the loftiest traditions of our historic party and devoted to the accomplishments of great achieve ments upon which must rest our enduring prosperity as a nation"
 Speaking of preparedness Mir. Hughes said:
 T desire that We should take no narrow view. We live in a very criti- cal period. There is a new world in process of formation. Out of the great European conflict will issue a new Europe but there must be in q very true sense a new America to meet the eXigencies of that time. It must be an America that has found itself; it must be an America that takes long look ahead-not content with the prospects of few years, even of decade or a score of years. hut an America planning for the twentieth century.
 We must conserve the very bases of our prosperity in conserving Wo- men and children. We must endeaYor to have a contented America; and America contented because of the | prevalence of just dealing between man and man, aided by wise laws. We cannot afford in looking into the future to fail to take account of the cause of discontent and of un- rest. We do not need to have a pc | rennial agitation in this country. All that is needed is q firm ser@a of co . | operation and If realization in our practical industrial fite of those 1 doal~ cf hlmau n-0'hcrhood upon | which our constitutional system is l based
 1 There is a new spirit. I believe. abroad in the land. There Is a dls- l position to take account of just glsev- ances and to provide reasonable rem i edies.
 We can have not only a humani. l tartan outlook. which is absolutely | essential because it is right from g
 human standpoint and because 1t i'
 necessary from an economic stand point"
 Mir. Hughes repeated his tariff
 views and his pledge that no onC
 would put over anything for pri- vate gain at public expense in tariff adjustment if he could help it.
 T do propose, however" he said
 that We shall have constructiv,
 tariff policy which will foster. no cripple; which will build up, not de
 stroy: which will count Americal achievement honorable and not some thing to be reduced: which will SC the United States ahead, worthy O competing in this economic struggl with any nation of earth"
 The nominee reiterated his views O
 preparedness and assailed the admin
 istration for vaccilating in respect [ 7 preparedness and for failure to pre- I pare for the Mexican crisis. l Mixing politics and military prer - ! arauon IS the worst tllllS lhal Cd ' happen to nation," he said MT. Hughes said he favored a 2 army of citizens trained by the fed | eral government. Of the navy NJ = | Hughes said:
 'T am informed on high authorit
 that our ships are undermanned an
 our supplies inadequate. Our organ
 ration is not what it should be.
 do not think that the administratio
 of that great department of the gov | ernment reflects credit upon u I | American people.
 Those who are interested in pr, \ I paredness are not simply content ! studying lists of battleships. Th'
 know the quality of our organizatio
 the capacity of our leadership. It
 Important in this country that V ,e have patriotism not simply in decl le nation. but in efficiency of goverl v ment.
 iBi When I read of the hundreds ~ millions appropriated for military al 7 naval purposes I am not satisfied. . want to know how that monT ~ spent. I want to know whether !
