in the act of speaking. his face usual
w wearing a smile In the moving
picture part OF the program special
stress was laid on Governor Hughes
attitude on the labor question. What
he had done TO further the interests
OF the working classes during the time
he was~governor Of New York State was
given prominence in short. snappy
sentences thrown on the screen. PIC
lures illustrating preparedness and
scenes at Vera Cruz. where American
marines lost their lives along the Dor
der, were shown.
Mayor James F. Price presided at
the meeting and on the platform we're
many prominent Wilmingtonians,
candidates for office and city officials.
In presenting Mr.. Lands, Mayor
Price said: I'VE are at the height OF
n war of ballots. The campaign is
of interest to every citizen Issues
are being raised on many points. and
while some here may not have de-
cided how to vote this fall, | want TO
say that the Republican party is the
safest party for which to cast your
ballots.
I'VE have a candidate for President
who is second to none, one who
knows his own mind and own will,
and we can guarantee that when
Charles Evans Hughes is President
of these United States he will be the
President. We have important
work in Delaware to do. We
have a Republican Governor OF this
State to elect; a United States Sen
ator to re-elect, and a Congressman
TO send back to the House of Repre-
sentatives.'
Mayor Price introduced Mr.. Lands
as a former Congressman from lndi-
ana but now a full-fedged Della
warean."
Mr.. Lands spoke slowly and de-
liberately throughout. He emphasized
the fact that this is a government
OF political parties and that every
man and woman in the country should
he informed Of what is going on IN
the nation. In 1905" he said. when
the voters of the Ninth Congressional
District of Indiana decided they want

Kenneth Pike and feel lige a sure

ct have always been a Republican
by heredity and conviction and al
WAYS expect to be one. When little

Republican SReasOn Rule
'Experience and reading have
taught me that the Republican party
and its antecedents present intelli-
pence and reason in the conduct or
national AFFAIRS. The party has al
Nvavs favored industrial improve
ments. the building Of canals. the
construction of railroads and other
great enterprises. The Democratic
marty believes in the integrity OF the
state and loses sight of the nation.
Those conditions existed in James
Ruchanan's makeup and caused him
IN fail in the crisis OF 1860. The
marty has always been unreliable, un-
denendable. You never know where
IN find II in two successive cam
paigns.-here today, there tomorrow
and nowhere next week.
'aThat is why Woodrow wilson
made such a mess OF that Mexican sit
nation. 1t was only three years ago
that President Wilson took charge or
the Mexican situation but it seems like
three centuries and will continue long
drawn out unless we put some one in
the White House who does know what
TO do.
"T am amused whenever I look at
the Democratic banner hanging on
Market street and read the slogan on
II. Peace with Honor. and Prosperity
The party changes its slogan every
campaign. Once It was free silver,
then tariff for revenue only then I'm
perialism' Last time it was opposition
to high prices. II is interesting to go
back and read the various slogans the
Democratic party has waged its cam
paigns under.
Protect American Interests.
THE Republican party always fights
under the same banner and always
uses the same slogan. Protection to
American industries and sound money
the party has always stood for these
things. In this campaign ii stands
for sound money, protection to Ameri-
can industries and protection to
American lives as well.
"It is interesting to study the plat
form OF the Democratic party in 1912.
One of the most prominent planks in
the platform was free tolls for coast
wise vessels passing through the Pan
ANA canal Scarcely had the Demo
Gratis warmed their seats in Congress
than at the behest OF Great Britain a
bill was passed placing tolls on all
vessels passing through the canal.
Democratic Broken Promises.
"Then there was the pledge against
the reelection OF any President. we
favor a single term for President and
10 that end we urge an amendment
10 the Constitution making a Presi-
dent Ineligible to reelection said the
platform. Why was that put there
Personally. am opposed to more
than one term. A six-vear term and
ineligible 10 reelection is my plan
That might be a long time under a
Democratic President. but I advocate
t." said Mr.. Lands.
Free tolls gonei A single term 70
President gonei Then there is tn
high cost Of living. That was to hav,
been corrected by the Underwood tarif
law. You know how the Democrat
went about blackening the character o
the protective tariff. They declared tina

that taxed for the bed he slept in, 70
