RAILROAD WORKERS
ESCORT FOR HUGHES.
Six Hundred Men Lead Great
Demonstration for G. o. P.
Candidate at Terre Haute.
SCORES GOLD BRICK" LAW

Terre Haute, Ind, Nov. 2.-(Spe-
cial Telegra.. six hundred railroad
union men escorted Charles f.
Hughes last night at the head of the
biggest demonstration accorded him
during his campaign. For two hours
he reviewed the parade in his honor
and then spoke at the Wigwam, filled
with 10000 people. The sides Of the
Wigwam, the center of lumber
yard, were torn off in many pleaces
by the crowd, insistent on getting
glimpse Of the can idate.
! we have got some respect for law
and order in this country" stated the
nominee, land | tell you every work
ing man has got more at stake in that
than anybody else in the community.
There is no one that has got so much
at stake in the orderly processes OF
government, as the present plain man
who has got nothing but his wages
between him and serious distress. and
what we want in this country--and !
will stop here to say that ] UNDER
stand that word has gone out through
labor circles in official channels to
vote against me, and knowfperfect-
ly that l am saying profound truth,
and every union man knows it-that
noLody can direct or control the
labor vote Of this county (applause).
Something Done to Labor.
"That vote is going to be cast ac-
cording to its sound judgment ac-
cording to what the men think is
right and fair. This Is an American
government and our workingmen are
the best citizens we have, because they
are producing and working, and have
the utmost confidence in the freedom
of their judgment, according to their
conscience, uncontrolled by any
power. We have been hearing of late
something or other about what has
been done for labor, and some have
begun to learn that something has
been done recently to labor. Applause
and laughter) We had talk about an
cight-hour work day bill. The Adam
son bill was not an eight-hour work
day bill. Things that are right can 20
by their right names. Things that are
right don't have to trade on improper
designations. You don't have to resort
to masquerade, or subterfuge, il you
are right upon the merits.

BULL MOOSE BACK
OF HUGHES SOLIDLY
H. L. Ickes Of Illinois Gives
Statement as to Position
Of the Progressives.
WILSON MEN DESPERATE

Chicago, Nov. 2-(Special Tele-
gram )-H. L. Iekes, progressive ma
tional committeeman from Illinois,
and now member OF the western
republican campaign committee, took
notice today of the democratic at
tempt to maxi it appear that there
is strong progressive detection to
Woodrow Wilson. Mr.. Ickes said:
THE democratic national commit
tee has resorted. to misstatement OF
facts in an effort to make it appear
that Wilson is receiving consider
able progressive support. A state
ment sent out from New York yes
terday was to the effect that eleven
OF the nineteen members OF the reso-
lutions committee of the progressive
national convention In 1917 had
signed statement in favor of Presi-
dent Wilson.
1.-THE fact is that the resolutions
committee,o Of the progressive conven-
ton in 1912 consisted Of one member
from each state and territory, fifty
two in all instead OF nineteen, as
claimed by the democrats. Eleven
out Of fifty-two is not much to boast
of, especially when it is considered
that Of the eleven signers Of the
Wilson statement, five represented
southern states, all OF which are nor
mally democratic, and in only two of
which is the result in doubt this
year. Moreover, OF the eleven sign
ers, four we're former democrats who
naturally would be supporting Wilson
as the result OF the realignment Of
the major parties.
Where White Stands.
civilian Allen White is quoted as
endorsing the statement. This is a
wilfui misstatement OF fact. Mr..
White has been and is supporting
Mr.. Hughes publicly, and he has is
sued a statement denying that he
had signed or endorsed this demo-
cratic statement.
Isaac N. Stevens OF Colorado is
quoted as one of the eleven signers.
Mr.. Stevens autographed the follow
ing message: AS member of the

gressive convention Of 1912, | sighed

to the number of hours that men are
to work. 1t changes wage scale. 1t
changes basis for the payment OF
wages, and there was no question
whatever involved as to an eight-hour
work day. 1t was said that the judg-
ment of society had been passed in
favor of an eight-hour work day.
well, il that principle was being
applied, and it was suddenly decided
over night to carry into effect this
judgment Of society which had been
ignored by the administration for
over three years, why was that judg-
ment put into effect as to 20 per cent
OF the men, and not put into effect
as to 80 per cent of the men2 Why
is it that we should have exceptions
from such judgment Of society?
We did not have any dealings with
the judgment OF society--that is the
answer. that we are not dealing with
the eigRt-hour workday. 4
you have got here something that
proceeds upon suggestion which is
not borne out by the facts, and you
have got something else--even for the
men, even for the men who are sup
posed to be benefited by the fact, |
believe it will be found that this is a
gold brick. Let me give one or two
suggestions. You know the basis of
pay was not simply an hours basis
il was hours and miles, and the mile-
age feature OF the former basis, was a
very. important thing to the men
who were employed.
81 do not believe that there is any
desire to change that basis. How
about the man who runs his 100
miles in five or six hoursl How does
he figure under this bill? Will he get
full days pay when he runs his 100
miles in five hours, or will he get
five-eighths of days pay--if the
bill provides, as | think Il does pro-
vide, that there should be as a basis
Of payment Of wages, not as basis
OF the work in hours, the eight hours
taken as a basis, then man would
seem to have to work his eight hours
to get his days pay.
That is a very unwclcome surprise
for good many men who have won,
after years Of labor, the concessions
which have been made, and under
which there were full days pay for
a run of given extent, even though
completed in less than the ten hours,
which was the basis for compensation,
even though completed in five or six
hours. Let me read again what is
said by the president in this direc-
ton to local chairmen, speaking Of
the eight hours, as the measure OF
compensation: This provision of the
law will, I believe, eliminate the pay
mcnt Of all arbitraries which are
based on time, when made within the
first eight-hour period of service and
with respect to other provisions, and
their effect, this general chairman
says. just what it will finally be de-
cided to mean, no one can now tell, as
it is possible to construe 1t in several
different waysp (App1ause.)
THAT is the kind of legislation OF
which we have altogether too much.
Legislation that seems to speak one
word, and yet you cannot tell but
what it may speak very different
word"

who in the last meeting Of the COM
mittee opposed the resolution endors-
ing him, Mr.. Hughes has gained
strength among the progressives since
that meeting and Mr.. Wilson has
lost it.
Hughes Election Assured.
AFTER careful canvass OF the pro-
gressive situation in every state with
in the jurisdiction of the western head
quarters, ! am satisfied that if Mr..
Hughes will hold the republican vote,
and Of that there can be no doubt, he
will be Overwhelmingly elected
I'm some states, of which Kansas is
type, more than 95 per cent of the
Roosevelt vote Of 1912 will be added
to the Hughes in 1916. In some states
the percentage will not run so high,
but in no state will less than IS per
cent of the progressive vote support
Hughes.
Il am not making this statement
from guess work. / have correspond
ed with thousands of progressives in
this western territory, and | have had
direct reports from practically every
western state by men sent out from
these headquarters to study local stu
atoms and to report actual facts. In
few states, of which Utah is type,
where at the outset it appeared the
progressive vote was so disaffected
that the state might go democratic,
active organization work has been
done among progresives, with the re-
suit that the progressive vote support
ing Hughes will average with the
other states.
Wilsonites Desperate.
"The determined effort being made
in these latter days of the campaign
to line up the progressive vote for Mr..
Wilson demonstrates two facts: First,
that Mr.. Wilson is desperately in need
of that vote and realizes that without
it he cannot win; second, that the
democratic management realizes that
the overwhelming percentage Of the
progressive vote is for Mr.. Hughes.
If Mr.. Wilson did not need the pro-
gressive vote so badly as his managers
now confess, progressive speakers on
special trains would not be hurrying
through middle western states. And
if he has this vote now, as his man
ayers try to make it appear, he would
not have to be going after it with a
dragnet.
so far as the progressive vote is
concerned, we are ready to go to the
polls. This is an intelligent move
ment and Cannot be stampeded to the
supporter man whose twistings and
turnings, whose vacillation and indie
cision, have made it difficult for even
traditional democrats to follow him."
