HUGHES SAYS HE
DIDN'T USE FAKE"
IN OMAHA TALK
In Kalamazoo Address Can
didate Explains Attack on
Antitrust Amendment
by Administration

Kalamazoo, Mich. October 1S.-Charles
mory here tonight that a vote for him,
far from being vote for war, meant
vote for the maintenance of American
rights and that when Americans went
abroad lawfully to further American en-
terprise, they should go with the back
ing of the American government"
The nominee assailed the administration
for its foreign policy, for its claim that
it had aided business, for the Underwood
tariff, for alleged failure to observe the
merit system in making appointments,
and for extravaganza. He declared the
present prosperity of the country tenn
porarfly was due to the European war.
Mr.. Hughes also took occasion to cor
rect misquotation in the official tran
script of his speech at Omaha, in which
he was quoted as saying that the adj
mnistration had not clarified the anti
trust act, but had added a fake phrase.
Mr.. Hughes said he had not used the
words fake phrase" but that he said
that the phrase was vague phrase"
The special train carrying Mr.. Hughes
on his campaign trip, delayed by a freight
wreck, reached Kalamazoo more than
two hours late Mr.. Hughes was greatly
fatigued by today's travelling, which was
broken only by stops at Niles and Dow
agiac. He spoke for 10 minutes at Niles
and said few words to the crowd at
Dowagiac. The Hughes special left Kala-
mazoo two hours late.
In his speech here the nominee again
replied to the declaration that he was
sponsor for invisible government" as
sorting that he came into public life as
the opponent Of invisible government.

The boil weevil has just been discov-
cred in Marshall county. 1t was not
known until today by the state agri-
cultural department that the insect had
travelled so far to the north in this
state.
G. C. Heard of Horton, in the south
ern part of Marshall county, sent
small bottle of insects today to the
department, asking for an opinion as to
whether they were weevils. Officials
quickly found them to be the genuine
species and have written Mr.. Heard ad-
vising him of their decision.
A few days ago it became known also
that the weevil has appeared in Lime
stone county, a similar bottle of wee
wills having been sent to the depart
ment from that section.

CANADIAN GENERAL
WRITES DR.. caves
Sympathy and Coincidence
Expressed for Death of
Heroic Soldier Son

That democracy is in the ascendency
was the statement of Dr. George Eaves,
the secretary of the Anti-Tuberculosis
league, upon the receipt of letter from
General Sam Hughes. the Canadian min
lister of militia and defense, containing
coincidence on the death of the formers
son, Alfred Eaves who was killed on
the Somme few weeks ago.
My son was only one of thousands"
said Dr. Eaves, and it does not seem
possible that his death would be noticed
by harassed government such as that
of Great Britain and her dominions dur
ing the present world struggle. 1t is
a clear indication that democracy is in
the ascendency when officials will take
such notice of the feelings of the parents
of those who fall in battle"
The letter of General Hughes, which
DR.. caves received, follows:
Minister'S Office, Ottawa, Can, Octo-
Der II.
Militia and Defense.
(SeaD.
Canada.
Personal.
Deal I-r. Eaves: Will you kindly ac-
cept my sincere sympathy and condo
lence in the decease of that worthy citi-
zen and heroic soldier, your son, Private
Alfred Eaves?
While one cannot too deeply mourn the
loss of such a brave comrade there is
a consolation in knowing that he did his
duty fearlessly and well, and gave his
life for the cause of liberty and the
upf.uilding of the empire.
Again extending to you my heartfelt
sympathy. Faithfully.
