Has Not Lowered His Flag.
AR. Hughes told an audience in the
Shriners Auditorium here last night
that he had not hauled down the flag
he put up in New York.
He spoke before his second audience Of
the night at the Shriners' Auditorium.
The first was an overflow crowd that
stretched from curb to curb of the wide
street outside for nearly block.
In his brief address to the overflow
crowd the nominee reiterated his views
on the tariff, preparedness, dominant
Americanism and Industrial co-opera-
tion.
Inside the auditorium the nominee
faced an audience of which one-half
was composed of women. Half of the
three hundred members of the recep-
tion committee, seated on the platform,
il was officially announced, were pro-
gressives, the others republicans.
Rush Avery, former progressive, In
troduced the chairman of the meeting,
Stoddard Jess. banker and republican
leader of this city.
In closing his address the nominee
said he claimed the support of "all
republicans and all progressives" in
his campaign.
I'VE have had periods when the public
interest in this country was ignored;
when 1t was derided and not safe
guarded by law Mr.. Hughes said. II
am glad those periods are past I be-
Heve they have passed. 1 believe there
is a new sentiment abroad in this Land
which recognizes the interests of COM
munities, and that there is sentiment
which demands protection of the in
terests of communities against all
spoliation, against conspiracies and
against combinations Of every sort I
am against every abuse of community
interests for the sake of private ad-
vantage. I did something in New York
along that line and I haven't changed
my mind bit in regard to it.
II also believe that regulation and
supervision by the government II a
mockery. unless 1t is Just and square
with the facts. I put that flag up in
New York also. and I never hauled 1t
down, and 1 never propose to.
There again 1t Is the question of
studying the facts. of analyzing the
actual conditions. and coming to con-
clusions that are fair. What men are
afraid of in this country Or one side
and the other of great controversy 10
that they will in some way be taken
into camp, and each side is inclined to
push up it's side just little above
what Is fair and right. Now, let us
have the confidence of honest people
that it is going to protect the public
to maintain individual rights. and that
1t Is going to have justice reign in this
country-not because 1t will help you
as against this one or that ono; not
because it win enable you to get this
or that, but because 1t Is Justice and
because on Justice must be founded the
lasting prosperity OF this nation.
Protection Without Medding.
L would have IT understood that we
have passed the day when We had to
restrict what was legitimate in order
to crush out what was illegitimats and
unfair and illegal. We can protect our
selves against every kind of monopolis-
tic practices without meddling.
we must not SCOT at that which
makes possible and expands trade. We
must cut where there is abuse. and cut
in order that we may prepare the way
This is not an ordinary campaign.
We are to determine q crucial period
whether we shall halt or advance.
whether we shall have fostering. en-
whether we shall enter wavertng. half
hearted and uncertain into tho eXperi-
ence which We arc sure to meet when
the great European war 10 over.
Devoted to Ideals Of Peace.
the horrors Of that war. am devoted
to the ideals of peace and I look with
the deepest sense OF dismay at the con-
nict abroad But at tho worst We know
that tho nations at war have not gone
mad, that they arc prosecuting their
policies and that each nation thinks II
has had to take the position 1t has
taken
There win emerge from that war .
now America. We cannot meet tho
exigendes which arc before US unless
we have a patriotic consciousness both
Of our power and of our unity.
Il desire to SEQ throughout this great
land a nominal sense of national unity
rising above all the differences of race
and creed and inspiring US to a CO.
opera ton with the single desire to build
up and maintain the honor and the
prosperity Of the United States"
Mr.. Hughes spoke of commercial con-
ditions which he thought would prevail
