 WAR + RIGHTS
 ARE MAINTAINED
Republican A. p. Leased Wlre1

KALAMAZOO, Mich, Oct. 1S.- Charles E. Hughes told an audience in the armory here tonight that a vote for him, far from being vote for war, meant vote for the maintenance of American rights and that when Amer jeans went abroad lawfully to further American enterprises. they should go with the backing of the American gov ernment"
 The nominee assailed the adminis- tration for it's foreign policy, for it's claim that it had aided business, for the Underwood tariff, for alleged fail- ure to observe the merit system in making appointments, and for eXtrava- gance. He declared the present pros perGy of the country temporary and due to the European war. The federal reserve bill, he said, giving credit where credit was due" was largely the result of the report of the republican monetary commission, and contained defects which should be removed
 MT. Hughes also took occasion to correct a misquotation of the official transcription of his speech at Omaha in which he was quoted as saying that the administration had not clarified the antitrust act but had added a fake phrase" MT. Hughes said he had not used the words fake phrase but that he said that the phrase was a vague phrase.
 The special train carrying Mir. Hughes on his campaign trip, delayed by a freight wreck, reached Kalama- zoo more than two hours late. MT. Hughes was greatly fatigued by the day of travelling, which was broken only by stops at Niles and Dowa giac. He spoke for ten minutes at Niles and said a few words to the crowd at Dowagiac. The Hughes special left Kal- l amazoo two hours late.
 In his speech here the nominee again replied to the declaration that he was the sponsor for invisible government" T came into public life as the op- ponent of invisible government" he said. T came into high public office in New York because of the belief of the people of that state that I was the opponent of invisible government: | during nearly four years that it was my privilege to serve in executive ca pacity there was no invisible govern | ment in Albany and if I am elected ! president of the United States there | will be no invisible government in | Washington.
 1 "I believe in government according | to the intent of our constitutional sys- | tenn. 1 am opposed to abdicating off | cial or moral authority on the demand | of force, either of labor or of capital. | 'I propose that in all that we do. to l settle the grave problems that will un- l doubtedly confront us, that we proceed | in the American manner, to judge the facts, to ascertain what is true. and in the light of the facts, to legislate | and execute in accordance with our l best ability
 "I do not propose that laws shall be passed without inquiry at the demand of any one. I do not propose that any
 mysterious influences shall be put over in the Hobbies of the capitol. 1 pro 1 pose that we shall have government in | the open
 MT. Hughes, replying to the declara- |! tion that a vote for him meant a vote | for war declared that that was "a most | extraordinary way of attempting to l fence"
 q grant you" he said, that a vote l for me does mean a vote for the main l tenance of American rights; but it is
 a great fallacy to suppose that main
 tenance of American rights involves
 surrender of the ideals of peace. or
 a disregard of the vast importance of | peace.
 q desire to have every opportunity open for legitimate American enter prise. The importance of protecting
 our citizens should be noted in%that | connection. We have a remarkable | demonstration of lack of thoughtful ness. at least, on the part of the ad ministration at this time, or at least
 so far as it is represented in speech" MT. Hguhes was presented by the | Hughes Fairbanks club with a cane, which, he was told, was made from a
 rail split by Abraham Lincoln and presented by Lincoln to D. s. Wal
 bridge at Kalamazoo in 1856. In
 acknowledging the gift MT. Hughes
 said:
 T cannot think at this time of any benediction that can possibly fall upon the American people equal in import l (Continued on Page TWOl
