HUGHES TO FLY
WILSON'S CLAIMS

CONTINUED From First PageJ
VILE tonight and continuing until Sep
tember IL Mr.. Hughes will answer
nightly certain of the assertions of the
Chief Executive as to the accomplish
ments of his party during the past four
years.
The Republican nominee believes that
the Democratic claims of benefits con-
ferred on the people during their
regime are so exaggerated as to be
humorous. and at the risk of being
again called supercriical he is going
to endeavor to show the public where
the eXaggeration lies.
Saturday at thc Coliseum he at.
tackled the child labor law as in
efficient and declared the Clayton act,
man antitrust law, a mere parcel of
words.
Will Continue Attacks
Mr.. Hughes will continue these at
acks, suggesting each time with
scrupulous care-so his advisers state
constructive measures which must
be passed to correct the deficiencies of
the Democratic laws he believes are
futile in accomplishing the purposes
for which they were purposed.
Chief among the criticisms he will
make will be an attack on the Demo-
cratic tariff measure, which is held up
by the administration es an act which
has brought prosperity to the country.
Here, in Missouri, the doctrine of pro-
lection is strong alike in Democrats
aud Republicans.
The Republican nominee in all of
his speeches in Missouri struck a popu-
lar note when he advocated tarln
which will aid the country's industries.
How popular a note may be judged
from the information brought him
later by advisers.
Among Mr. Hughes friends here is
Thomas H. Neidringhaus, with whom
Mr. Hughes was at school, Mr.. Neid-
ringhaus is vice-president of theg Ma
tional Enameling and Stamping Com
pany, a 100000 corporation with
plants in ten cities employing about
80 900 men.
Half Time Due to Democrats
Because the tariff on enamel ware
was reduced from So to 25 per cent. by
the Democrats. the National Enamel
ing and Stamping Company was run
ming half time when the war broke
out Germany and Austria were send
ing vessel loads of enamel ware to this
country and were underselling Ameri-
brought us the greatest protective
tariff possible" said Mr.. Niedringhaus
TO. day. I'VE are selling to South
America and England. markets we
never could get in before. But our
representatives in Germany and Aus
tria tell us that enamel ware plants
there to-day are being run fun force
by old men and women, and that the
products are being stored in ware
houses awaiting the end of the war:
What will we do then, with tarln
too low for us to compete with Europe
in normal times against flood OF
merchandise made under war con-
ditions to sell for cash for whatever
it will BRING"
Mr.. Hughes spent Sunday resting in
St. Louis and left last night for Nash
Vile. Tenn. He went to church in the
morning. had luncheon and dinner
with William r. Wilcox, Republican
national chairman. and before board
ing his train. which left at $40 p. M,
took an automobile ride through the
CITY and suburbs. The nominee said
he was feeling in good condition for
the heavy work of the coming week.
which will close with a whirlwind trip
through Maine.
The nominee conferred with Chair
noan Wilcox over the itinerary of the
trim through Middle Western, Central
and Southwestern States on which Mr..
Hughes expects to start September lS.
Mr.. Wilcox said he thought the
itinerary would be announced in New
York this week, probably wednesday.
