Republican A. P. Leased WIrel

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept 4. - Tn territory which no republican presi- dential nominee ever has visited be- fore, Charles E. Hughes tonight faced tumultous audience in the auditorium here. With cheers for Woodrow Will son ringing again and again in his ears, heckled by questioners and halted often by democratic sympathizers, the nominee criticised the administration for it's policies argued for a protective tariff, and in a reference which the audience took to apply to the enact ment of the Adamson bill, asserted that he stood firmly for the administration of all industrial disputes.
 "l believe there is no grievance with respect to labor" MT. Hughes said, that cannot be settled by a fair, can did explanation of the facts.
 We have in the past, had to deal frequently with the opposition of em- ployer to the principle of arbitration. Sometimes they have refused to arbi- trate disputes. Public opinion has been against them. I stand here firmly for the principle of arbitrating indus trial disputes, and I would not sur render it to anybody in the country
 l believe that anything that is right in this country can be settled right. What is our republican government?
  have come down the long course of his- | tory with the people fighting slowly, slowly-now with defeat and now with victory-for a recognition of the reign l of reason istead of the reign of tyranny and force.
 Now. then, I stand for two things: First, for the principle of fair, i'm | partial, thorough, candid arbitration, and
 | "Second, for legislation on facts ac- fcording to necessities of the case. And am opposed to being dictated to, either in the executive department or congress, by any power on earth be- | fore the facts are known.
 l We have greae country, and a great future. But it can only be pre- l served in one way: that way is the way of all honest persons = fair l, investigation and candid treatment. Show me the way that is right. and [ l will take it; but I won't take any way that do not know anything about" l The audience which had inter- rupted Mir. Hughes repeatedly in the | earlier portion of his speech to cheer for Wilson, heard the nominees declaration in silence and at it's con- clusion applauded him.

Tillman, chairman of the meeting. stood up. MT. Till man was on his feet for ten minutes. much of the time vainly endeavoring to make himself heard. He intro duced MT. Hughes and the audience waited in silence.
 T shall not forget the warmth of the welcome of this vociferous meet ing" MT. Hughes said, and the audi jence applauded. He added that what U he had to say was to be said good
 naturedly," at a time that the Amer ican people were taking stock. T do not desire in anything I say,
 to express naught but the highest
 respect for those who do not agree
 with me-" he confined. q simply de-
 sire to say what I think, why think it. why I am here and then
 let the American people judge ac- cording to their own consciences." : The audience applauded, and MT ' Hughes. outlined his views on Amer ican indutsry, the test it will face , when the war ends. and the doctrins of a protection tariff.
