Many other letters hint at the same

 We should have but one ideal in making appointments" the republican nominee far the presidency declared. "That ideal should be efficiency. Paper programs and statutes amount to noth- ing unless we have efficiency. Eff ciency that's the watchword of the twentieth century"
 Hughes reviewed what he termed "a fine record of republican achievement in the enactment of labor legislation

Special to The Republican,

This. be said, could not be done under tariff for revenue only. bat could be accom- plished under a protective tariff such as the republican party proposed.
 Mir Hughes spoke to an audience that shivered in the cold night air, notwithstanding heavy wraps and oVercoats. The nominee was half an hour late in starting his address. In beginning. he emphasized the fact that he represented a reunited party
 We have set aside our differences In order that we may achieve great national aims NIT. Hughes said 'These aims are so high that they transcend every possibility Of differ cuce. l come as the spokesman of an historic party, recommended 10 its best ideals and pledged to the success of this great nation at an extremely crit ical time.
 The problems that we are facing today are not exactly like those which we have dealt with in the past. We are entering upor q new era Of history. do not think the world will be the same world after the European war that it was before
 "The upbuilding of American indus- try he said. lies at the very founda- ton of the future of the United States. It can never be done under an admin istration that frames it's tariff for revenue only"
 Mir. Hughes reiterated his declara- ton that he favored the appointment only of competent. experienced men to 1 the diplomatic service.

 Representatives of the men indicated tonight that such reply would be un- satisfactory.
 l. has been well known since the presidents came here that many of them would welcome a strike. Some of them have pointed out that in their opinion submission in the present crisis would weaken discipline on their lines and that it would be only d short time until the trainmen's demands are fol- lowed by similar ones of other em- ploves Many of them feel that d strike could last only a few days at the longest, and the more important systems would have little trouble handling the mails and milk trains and supplying the larger cities with food stuffs
 The railroad executives virtually dis missed from all consideration today questions of freight rate increases and of methods of insuring settlement of future disputes. They centered atten- tiOn on the two propositions of the eight-hOur day and the arbitration of wages under it.
 Statements were issued by President Howard Elliott of the New Haven, and T.. fl. Ashton of the Chicago and Northwestern Mir Elliott said he hoped d real solution would be found for the situation rather than that it should be settled hand and solely in the interest of the 400, 600 who are now pressing their demands
 President Ashton said that in 1900 the amounts of wages paid trainmen employees for each 1 900 tons of freight moved one mile was 56.4 cents, while in 1914 it was 61 cents, an increase Of 23 per cent
