HUGHES POINTS THE WAY

The speech of the Republican can
dldate Tor President was a keynote
speech, indeed. Not one person in
the great audience at the Carnegie
Hall meeting was In doubt for one
moment as to Just what he meant by
everything he said.
His address was comprehensive, fog
zeal, clear and all sufficient for the
occasion. There can be no dispute
MS to this. Plainly Mr.. Hughes is a
man who KNOWS what he wants when
he wants IT," and II is the opinion
of political authorities who heard him
and who have since read his remarks
that he knows, also, how TO get It.
II was incumbent upon the Repub-
llcan candidate to confne the scope
of his remarks to the limitations of
the occasion, but his crushing analy-
sis Of the shortcomings Of the pres
ent administration of the government
is merely an earnest Of what the tone
and the contents Of his speeches will
be when he gets on the stump
At Carnegie Hall Mr.. Hughes adj
verted to every general question that
Is apt to be a serious issue in the
campaign and in language that win
be absolutely clear to every man or
woman able to read he stated his
opinions, his convictions and his pur-
poses. On the stump he will argue
those points in detail AS an orator
he is eloquent, his personality attrac-
tive and his marshalling of facts so
cohesive that he holds his audience
to the end. He makes II easy for
them to follow him and his points
are not lost.
There was nothing equlvocal, moth
ing apologize in the Republican can
didate's speech of acceptance. He
called a spade a spade, and the unani-
nous opinion OF those who heard him
was that he shot to the center and
rang the bell. The Rcpubliran cam
paign is now open, and those who
will speak and write and work for
the success of the Republican ticket
can wish for no more adequate cam.

WAR AND TARIFF
HUGHES TOPICS
Would Not Shirk From Fight TO Pro-

Anti-Dumplng Provision Of
Revenue Bill Is Touch
ed On.

Tacoma, Wash, August l5--Charles
E. Hughes told an audience In Ia
comas stadium today that he would
not shrink from war in ENFORCING
American rights abroad. He read the
Democratic program of 1912 declar.
ing for protection OF American rights
abroad.
81 want that made real" the nomi'
nee said. L do not think in making
that real we would encounter the dan
ger of war"
Mr.. Hughes confined his remarks
almost wholly to what he termed tho
need for protective tariff.
II propose wise tariff without
abuse" he said, "but frankly tariff
to build up and maintain American
industry"
Mr.. Hughes reviewed Democratic
tariff legislation and the Democratic
platform plank of 1912 relating to the
tariff.
Our opponents said they would re-
duce the cost of living" he said. "Be.
hold the result.
Through an unfortunate develop
ment in the Republican party, Which
is now happily healed, our opponents
got into power, and they did not re-
duce the cost of living. We dom
propose that the shortcomings of the
administration with respect to the
protection of American industry shall
be forgotten. They want to forget
them They think that the European
war, like charity, covers a multitude
OF sins"
Mr.. Hughes referred TO Il statement
issued by Secretary McAddoo soon af-
ter the war started in 1914, i'm which
it was announced that 100000 in
emergency currency was available ia
relieve financial stress.
Our opponents had to resort to a
Republican measure of precaution
the Vreeland law" he said, ito still
the fears that their policy had en-
gendered among the people of this
country. 1t was that Republican mea-
sure that took us through that critical
period"
Reverting to the tariff, Mr. Hughes
asked why the Democratic Party want.

COAL MARKET IN
 CRITICAL CONDITION

Despite the high prices that prevail, the operators say that they are not mak- ing profits in proportion to the increase. One prominent operator said that 9s per cent of the coal shipped out of Brming- ham Is being sold on contracts made last spring and summer. when the companies were forced to accept orders to keep operating. Operating at an average of four days a week, the overhead charges run for seven days and, therefore, they say they are not making normal profit
 we have received 100 letters this week from men operating industries along rail- road lines stating that they will be forced to shut down unless we can supply them with coal.'' Birmingham operator said yesterday. "I have never seen such a critical situation since I have been in the coal business"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-10-22

Steam coal is quilted at s3.25 ton for delivery at the mines in Birming- ham,. Normally 1t will not bring more than $1.25.
 Fifteen out-of town buyers are in the city in an effort to get coal for railroads and large industries. The coal situation is so serious, according to the operators, that they predict freely that the south will have coal famine. Unless unforeseen events come, industries will shut down for lack of coal within the next few weeks. At the present some are operating under hand-to-mouth arrangement
 Railroads are sorely hit. The Cen tral of Georgia railroad on Thursday had total amount of 800 tons for use on the entire system. Ordinarily there are 10000 tons of coal ready for the demands of the line. The sales man ager of one of the largest coal com panies in Birmingham said that every railroad in the south was lacking in coal supplies.

SCANT RESPONSE IS MADE TO APPEAL FOR
 CAMPAIGN FUNDS
National Committeeman E. D. Smith Confident of President Wilson's Re-election-Finance Commit
 tee to Devise Plans

? The fund that Alabama has given to wage the democratic campaign so far is rather scant. For the 1912 campaign, democrats of the state subscribed s14,000. But, thus far, less than one third of this. amount has been raised, according to E. D. Smith, national committeeman from Alabama
 "A sum of s400o represents the total funds subscribed by supporters of the democratic party in Alabama for the national campaign" MT. Smith said yes- terday. The figure set as the objective was s25.000. We have sent out appeals to the democrats of the state, and have received some subscriptions. but many who have expressed their willingness to aid, are without means to do so.
 T believe that the democrats will win In November. Every recent development in the political arena has strengthened Mr. Wilson and his followers. While am of the opinion that the fight will be close, I feel reasonably sure that the ad- ministration will be returned to power"
 MT. Smith will confer with members of the finance committee Monday to de- wise some plans to increase the size of the Alabaam contribution. More urgent appeals will be issued. and active solici- tation made.

RAILROADS AND INDUSTRIES FACING SERIOUS COAL SHORTAGE
Given Reason for Railroads Threatened With Cessation of Operation Unless
 Coal Can Be Had

St. Andrews Bay railroad arc virtu- ally threatened with a cessation of operation unless coal can be gotten to them immediately, he said.
 One railroad was forced to run an engine to supply another in transit in North Carolina with coal before move ment of the freight was possible. The Yazoo and Mississippi valley railroad was forced to confiscate 25 cars or coal out of Memphis to run it's trains this week. t-
 The assistant general purchasing agent of the Seaboard. W. M Port lock, has been in the city all during the past week in an effort to get coal for the Seaboard The shortage of cars has reached the point where one of the largest coal companies in Birming- ham has sent out letters to it's patrons urging them to lay in supplies of cord wood, inasmuch as they state that the coal companies will be unable to sup ply the dealers with sufficient amount of fuel.
 Steam coal has been sold in Birming- ham as low as S1 a ton. It is now selling at over s3. At New York coal on cars at the piers has been sold for s4.75 It Is bringing s3.50 at the mines in Pennsylvania.
