plause During Speech

New York, Oct. 24.-Charles E.
Hughes tonight told an audience that
crowded Schuetzen Park hall in
Queensborough, that he did not want
the support ''of anyone who has any
interest superior to that of the Unit
ed States, who would not instantly
champion the rights and interest of
America against any country what
ever, who wants immunity for foreign
aggressions, or who would have the
power of this nation held captive to
any foreign influence or swerved by
tlien Vaccinations. ....
Mr.. Hughes declaration was made
at the first Of three meetings at which
he spoke in New York City tonight.
The other two meetings were held in
Harlem and in the Bronx.
Exclusive American Policy.
ut Is hardly necessary to say that
if am elected" Mr.. Hughes declar-
cd, I'VE shall have an exclusively Am.
erican policy in the service Of Amer
lean interest. W | have no secret un-
derstandings, no unstated purpose. II
anyone supposes that in case Of my
election, the right and interest of
American citizens will be suDordinat-
ed to any ulteriOr purpose or the in
terest of the policies of any foreign
power, whatever, he is doomed to dis
appointment.
Free Of EntaqIements.

of all foreign entanglements. We pro.
pose to have an administration, an
American administration, while deal
ing with all nations on basis fthe
most absolute fairness, will maintain
unshakingly American rights on land
and sea.
"We shall not tolerate the use of
our soil for foreign intrigue. We shall
not permit threats from any quarter
or any foreign influence to swerve US
from our action. | believe that the
great mass of American people are
sincerely patriotic.
Opposed to Government HoId-Up.
81 am opposed to government hold
up. | am opposed to surrendering the
power of the executive or congress to
the demand of force, whether labor or
capital"
Favors Jewish Rights.
Mr.. Hughes came out explicitly for
the rights of Jewish citizens OF the
United States. In this regard he said:
81 heartily endorse the following
plank in the Republican platform:
1--WE reiterate the unqualified ap-
proval of the action taken in Decem-
ber, 1911. by the president and con-
gress to secure with Russia as with
other countries treaty that will rec
ognize the absolute right of expatria-
tion and present all discrimination of
any kind between American citizens,
whether native born or alien, and re-
wardless of race, religion or previous
political allegiance. We renew the
pledge to observe this principle and
we unite in the cherished hope that
the war, which is now desolating the
world, may come to an end with all
due rapidity and lasting restoration
of brotherhood among the nations of
the earth and full and equal rights be
effected.
The settled American doctrine con.
tirmed by many treaties is that when
a citizen of foreign country for
swerves his allegiance to that country
and is naturalized here, swerving al
legiance to the United States, he is
thenceforth to be treated throughout
the world citizen OF the United
States and his rights as such must be
respected. I agree with the declara-
ton of the Republican platform that
we should secure a treaty with Rus
sia which will recognize the absolute
right of eXpatriation and prevent all
determinations between American cit
liens, whether native or foreign born.
and regardless Of race, religion, pre-
viOus political allegiance, are devoted
the principle Of civil and religious lib
erty and we cannot recognize any rae
ial or religious discrimination with
respect to the privileges of our citi-
zens. whether at home or abroad, the
