HUGHES
BRANDS
CHARGE
"Invisible Government"
Challenge Without Basis
Cites State Administration

Omaha, Oct. 17-Charles E. Hughes.
replying to the charge that his election
might mean that invisible govern
ment' would be installed in the United
States, told the audience that crowded
the auditorium here that as there had
been no invisible government in New
York while he was governor there
would be no invisible government in
the United States If he were president
'I think indeed, it might be said" Mr.
Hughes asserted, that the present ad-
ministration has been in large measure
an administration Of unofficial spokes-
men of mysterious influence. And l
can say in entire good humor that l
desire government through two houses
and not through three"
Mr.. Hughes assailed the administra-
ton more vigorously than he has be-
fore for the enactment of the Adamson
law, declaring that It was "unAmeri-
can and absolutely without justification
ever to surrender either legislative or
executive power to the demand of force,
either by capital or labor, and declared
that the plain people of this country
should rebuke the administration for
it's surrender to force.
President Wilson's reference to "un-
shackled business" made in the same
hall on the presidents recent visit here
was answered with the declaration that
thereShad been no Qualification of the
antitrust act" and by the nominees
assertion that he was amazed at any
such claim as there has been put for
ward. ..'
~ Charge Is MOnstrOuS.
The administrations Mexican policy
was cited as answer to the declaration
that the country had been kept out OF
war The charge that vote for
Hughes meant vote for war was
characterized as a "monstrosity".
What Mr.. Hughes characterized as
the Administrations weak and vacil-
lating policy" was attacked.
Some one told me today" Mr.
Hughes said. "and 1t seems at times to
be the case, that the motto of the pres
ent administration is. "A problem
avoided is a problem solved.
Every seat in the hall was taken and
all the standing room in the rear OF
the hall was crowded, many deep. In
the galleries at the far end of the hall
there were, at times, confusion and in
terruptions which the nominee took, In
one instance, to mean an attempt to
heckle him on the Adamson law.
There has been a whisper back there
in the gallery" Mr.. Hughes said, "ot
some one, l think, who wants to know
my views on the Adamson law. l don't
propose to leave here till tell him."
The nominee reiterated his attack on
the administration for the enactment
of the law, closing his speech with it.
The crowd stood, waved flags and
cheered.

That the meeting is going to be a
great one for all of the states of North

shown by the fact that Governors
Hanna of North Dakota, Burnquist OF
Minnesota and Byrne of South Da-
kota have informed local workers for
the meeting that they would be pres
ent in person and would do every
thing In their power to push the pro-
ject.
The forenoon meeting will be for

OF SKEFFINGTON
IN IRISH RIOT

London, Oct. 1.-THE commission
which was appointed to inquire into
the shooting of F. Sheehy Skeffington,
during the rebellion in Ireland last
spring, has reported there was no
good ground for complaints. against
the action of Lieut.. Morris, who
caused Skeffington to be detained and
sent to the barracks. Sir John Simon
is chairman of the commission. which
describes the action of Captain Bow
en-Colthurst, who took Skefington
from the barracks into the street as
a hostage as remarkable. almost
meaningless"
None of the evidence offered, the
commission reports, afforded any JUS
tification for the shooting M the boy
Coade. Concerning the execution of
Skeffington. the report says:
1T is a delusion to suppose that the
proclamation of martial law confers
upon any officer any right to take
human life in circumstances where
such proclamations and this delusion
had tragic consequences in the pres
ent case"
The commission reported that it
was satisfied that the seriousness of
the irregularity committed by Cap
tain Bowen -Colthurst was not fully
realized by those, under whose com
1 1lldIu lS was SuppOSSu 10 D0
Either because OF the lateness Of the
hour or the strain of anxiety caused
| by events outside the barracks, Cap
tain Bowen Colthurst was not reprim.
anded effectively and the civilians de-
| tanned were not rendered more secure
with the result. The report says thai
| Captain Bowen Colthurst was at lib.
erty next morning to override or dis.
regard the officer or the guard and
deal with the civilian prisoners as ht
pleased.
The commission found also thai
Captain Bowen Colthurst added to the
documents found on Skeffington's

ders to the militia which the com.
mission found was a forgery from be.

| Apart from the defense Of insanity
the commissioners state:
There can be no excuse or pallia.

conduct from first to last"
In addition to F. Sheehy Skef-
fington, Fred Mcintyre and Thomas
Dickson were put to death at the or
