filed Cohans Grand opera house,
ripped into the wishy-washy stand
taken by Mr.. Justice Hughes in his
race for the presidency and branded
the former supreme court justice as
the candidate of Wall st. and all
that that implies with its aims to
undermine the firm financial foun-
dalton upon which this government
nov stands as the result of legisla-
ton brought about under Woodrow
Wilson.
The secretary was cheered time
and again as he asked what Mr.. Jus
tice Hughes would do in regard to
the federal reserve law, the farm
loan law, and climaxed his charges
with the Roosevelt statement that
hewould haveseized German ships in
our waters when the Lusitania was
sunk. This, the secretary said, would
have meant war.
Mr.. McAdoo pointed TO the repub-
lican platform as il touched the
farm loan law and said there is
