ing and the working people Tn tn country"
 MT. Hughes also reiterated his dc claration that after the war erGs, world court should be established settle Controversies among the nation
 What we need to preserve tn. peace of the world,' he said, "is iii ternational legislation or what cor responds to international legislation
 MT Hughes said in the first aG dress that the prestige of the United States has been cut practically il half as a result of it's dealings witt Mexico. The Lominee again took th, administration to task for retiring trained men from diplomatic service ito make room for men without an! special qualifications other than part loyalty"
 MT. Hughes said he deplored tho fact that the present administration has to such a large degree disregard ed and violated the principles of our system.
 We can have peace without trouble in thls country" said the nominee ii discussing the Mexican situation "Only inexcusable blundering ccul, get us into war. We don't want any thing; we got all we need; we ar, ISt aggressive; we are not seekinl trouble; we are not trying to exploi anybody. We simply want to go aheao in our peaceful pursuit of our ideals and have prosperity.
 But that does not mean that oul rights are @ be ignored, that we arc to be lacking in the execution oi those rights. Our conduct in Mexico infailing to protect the rights of our citizens down there, cut down our in ternational prestige, I should say practically one half It is a very seri ous thing for a nation to be known as willing to forego those primary obligations of maintaining the right. of it's citizens which every nation has"
 MT. Hughes said that in other na tions diplomacy is great profession that men enter the lower grades and are promoted until they reach tho highest opportunities of diplomatic agency.
 We were making a fine start il that way" he continued. We had a number of men who had started il at the bottom, men who had gone through several grades, starting in a. attaches or securities, appointed tC this place or that place, obtaining splendid repute. a very important knowledge and training. And it has been lamentable to see under this administration man after man of that description taken right out the sery ice and retired only e make room for men without any special qualified tion other than party loyalty. That was done cOnspicuously in Latin America, despite our nrofessiOn Of desire to cultivate the closest rela tAbAAN AAA A-tA AAAA -A lll'l " tAs AAAN -tAA pOrtance of which is very obvious"
 MT Hughes again gave his reasons for favoring a protective tariff and then said:
 Our friends still insist that we shall not foster industry by the tariff Why, if We proceeded on their theory what would become of the industries of the state of Nevada What would become of the protection necessary for the enterprises of California? This whole section of the country needs the fostering care of government, not that we should have private persons secure an unfair advance at the public expense.
 But we should have fairly applied a principle which makes dinuscs all over the country a conditio: where wages are higher and standards of living are higher than those in any other part of the world"
 Mir. Hughes left this city for ogden. Utah, at 9 o'clock.
