Denver, Col, Aug. 25.-Charles z.
Hughes closed the first three weeks OF
his transcontinental campaign tour at a
big meeting in the Auditorium here to-

Hughes parting word before going into
his mountain retreat left this indictment
against the Wilson administration:
Before 1 leave want to saw what Is
very close to my heart We have 4 to
have economic, business-like administra-
ton of government In this country, in
charge of competent men.
Our opponents said they would reduce
the cost of living. They haven't reduced
1t.
They said they would stand Tor the
merit system in government. They have
shamelessly betrayed the merit system
In government.
They said they were for the mainte-
nance OF the constitutional rights Of
American citizens throughout the world
They left our citizens TO be murdered and
their property to be destroyed right here
in Mexico close to our boundary.
They did say they were opposed to
a tariff for protection. That they carried
out. with the result that before the Eu-
ropean war broke out, unemployed men
were walking the streets of our cities,
jobless, asking for work and having to
he fed by countless charitable organiza-
tions.
Il want to see efficiency in government,
efficiency in business" he declared, "effi-
cheney in the execution Of all laws relat-
ing to governmental activity. 1 desire to
see a contented people. living under just
laws as fellow working men, fellow
laborers in a splendid cooperative en-
terprise. That Is what free institutions
means They mean cooperation.
Now, my friends, I leave the word
with you. Shall We. as a great people,
advance and hold ourselves in the diff
cult days OF the twentieth century? If
can aid to the accomplishment of that
end, my service is at your command

about the recesses of an unusued passage
way of the Retos Mining Company's salt
mine about a mile and a half from this
city for the past ffteep days, keeping
alive by eating salt brine, was the story

found by a searching party. He was sill
conscious when found, although his body
was turned entirely black.
Two weeks ago GoGowsky. employed
in the salt mine, became separated from
his companions, and before he could
reach the shaft of the Ininr the electric
lights went out. Wandering through the
various passages he struck an unused
shaft. and. becoming fatigued, fell into
a pool of salt brine
Here he lay exhausted. eating nothing
but salt from the side of the mine ard
drinking nothing but the brine at nis
feet. Physicians declared that the black
ness of his body was the result of drink
ing and lying in the brine and they gave
that as the cause for his being alive.
