Of an insistance that they would work

clared their assistance was not need

"A first-class garage here. The Pierce
Harvey building is an ideal building
for garage, as the building is about
forty-five feet wide and well located.
Mr.. Collins is one of Atoms most

ton Has Shown obs
regard for Rules.
SPEAKS IN TEMPLE
AT SALT LAKE CITY
Declares People Are Not
Militaristic but Ready
to Defend Nation.

GAIT LAKE CITY, Utah, Aug. "a
~ Charles +. Hughes, speaking be-
fore an audience that crowded every
available foot of space in the great
Norman tabernacle here tonight as
sailed the administration for "specious
disregard" of the civil service regula-
tions in making appointments; de-
clared that he stood for faithful OBJ
servance of the civil service and
asserted that he would extend its
sphere if elected.
Mr. Hughes spoke with the Demo
cratic candidate for governor on the
platform and with other Democratic
candidates and party officials, speci-
ally invited guests in the hall
Mr.. Hughes referred to claims of
all candidates that they want effici-
ency of government"
II should not expect YOU would
think what | say worthy of special
attention" he said, were it not that
| have devoted four of the best years
of my life. regardless of politics, in
maintaining those ideals in the En-
pire state"
The nominee referred to the ad-
illIll@tTdJlOn pOICN lONdIu lnc
Philippines.
"If our friends on the other side
had had a proper sense Of the ohlt-
cations of this government" ne said,
they never would have proposed that
we scuttlc out of the Philippines and
leave them to take care Of themselves
| propose that we shall have in the
administration of the Philippines the
highest standard OF efficiency and
fair dealing"
Not MiIitaristic
on preparedness Mr.. Hughes said /:
I'VE are not mlitaristic Why you
could not get up militaristic spirit
in this country if you sent out a
team of organizers to do so. We pro-
pose, however, to be ready for any
emergency and have our words taken
at their fun value
The nominee repeated his assertion
that the regular army should be large
and efficient enough to do border
duty such as is now being done by
the national guard and the navy ade-
quate to protect both coasts.
The nominee repeated his condem-
nation of pork barrel legislation.
Tho other daY | pointed the finger
of socrn at the pork barrel bills
PASSED under this administration" he
said. And Immediately there was a
flutter of the hit birds in the halls
OF congress"
Mr.. Hughes left at midnight for
Cheyenne. Wyo., where he will speak
tomorrow night.
