GLYNN COMPARES
REPUBLICANS TO
THE HUMA BIRD
Continued from page one.)

eight hour law for trainmen. Taking
up MIR. Hughes criticism of this law,
Mr.. Glynn said:
"In his hopping for an issue. the Re-
publican candidate for president
seems to have settled for a while on
the eight-hour law, but he will not
stay on it very long after the voters
commence to ask him to explain the
contradictory views Of himself and
his party on this question. If this
bill is bad bill why did seventy-five
Republican congressman vote for it.,
and only As against it? If this bill is
bad bill why didn't the Republican
members of congress kill it as they
could have killed it by exercising
their parliamentary rights under the
no cloture rule of the senate? They
could have talked it to death as they
have talked many another good law
to death. If the Republican nominee
thinks this is such bad law why
didn't he say so before two-thirds of
his party in the house of represents
tives voted for it." Mr.. Glynn said
Mr.. Hughes failure to do so stops
criticism ON the part of the Republi-
cans "either against the bill or it's en-
actment, and when the voters COM
melce to ask for explanation Of such
inconsistent conduct. why our Repub-
lican friends will hop again, change
their views, raise new cries and like
the huma keep Oh the wing"
The Maine Result.
Taking up Republican claims based
on the Maine election result, MT
Glynn said:
"Since Monday last they have been
trying to make an issue out OF the
state election up in Maine as re-
rudiation of the Wilson policies and
a forecast of a national Republican
victory. But this contention will not
hold water The average Republican
majority iii Maine in the last five
national elections was 23,164, and YET
on Monday last the Republicans carry
it only by 10000.
"This same kind of q Republican
victory would swing New York tt
Wilson by 100000. The falling off o.
the Republican vote in Maine is &c
per cent from the vote of four Years
ago. If this percentage prevails
throughout the country On next cleo
ton day Woodrow Wilson will carry
every doubtful state in the nation"
Mr.. Marshall formally accepted the
Democratic denomination for the vice
presidency, not for additional honor
ne said, "but in the hope that l may
assist in the reelection of Woodrow
/ Wilson who has not walked where tn,
! hoc 1n1 1ryho l. of
where there was no path and WHO ha'
left TRAIL"
In speech of acceptance phraset
in characteristic vein, the vice presi
dent sketched briefly the Legislative
achievements of the administration, il
which he said he had been "an on
LOCKER" and eulogized the presiden
as 1.-The man who brooded over the re
public in stormtossed times and b.
mere words spoke peace on the troubl
ed seas Of international politics." I
changed administration, he declared
would not dare repeal a single one o
the important measures put on tn
statute books since March 4, 1913
Wanting an issue, he continued, tn
Republicans had turned to foreign af
fairs, coming such phrases as "Firn
Americanism" which they could no
define.
| The all-important question of wha
the Republicans would have done re
garding the Lusitana, Mexico and Bel
GUM, said the vice president, had no
been answered by the party's presi
Dental candidate MFR. Hughes. HI
added that "firm Americanism" shout,
be categorically defined by those VIII
had coined it, and declare the peopl
would not be willing to discharge on
doctor because he was criticised b.
another who offered no remedy.
"'In my opinion" said Mr.. Marshal
''the average American wants to know
who is in the partnership with Can
didate Hughes in this firm American
ISM Does the firm consist of Hughe
and Roosevelt, OF Hughes and Hohen
zeHlern> or of Hughes, surviving part
ner of the firm of Hughes AM
