Seattle, Aug. 15-Charles E. Hughes
told two big audiences in Seattle and
Tacoma today that he would not shirk
war II it came through the performance
Of an obvious duty
With this declaration he coupled a plea
for international agencies which will
compass a lasting peace.
These, and an attack on the anti-dump-
ing act OF the Wilson administration in
tended to prevent the flooding of Amer
lean markets with cheap European goods,
and a charge that the administration was
forced in 1918 to seek the refuge of the
Aldrich-Vreeland bill of Republican re-
vising to save the nation from a panic
threatened by its tariff policy were the
new features of the candidates two
speeches OF the day.
Hughes stakes his judicial reputation
on the worthlessness of the anti-dump-
ing act. For the rest, he renewed his
plea for a restoration OF the protective
tariff and pledged himself once more
to maintain the national honor through
out the world.
Seattle and Tacoma both cordially well
coined the nominee-not demonstratively,
but with vigorous handclapplng and
hearty appreciation of the telling points
of his addresses.
The tariff. a business administrati ton
of the affairs of the nation, and the
upholding OF the national honor. were
the three topics accorded the most last
ing applause. with the tariff apparently
closest to the hearts OF the people.
Here in the Northwest, the claim is
