MARSHALL DARES.
HUGHES To SAY
What HE'LL DO
Vice President Challenges
G. o. P. Candidate to Come
Out in Open.

Richmond, Ind, Sept. 22--Vice
President Marshall in an address
here tonight issued a challenge 10
Chas. E. Hughes, the Republican can
didate for president, who spoke here
last night, to say what he would do
under the same conditions which COZ
fronted President Wilson and the
present Democratic administration.
He asserted also that Mr.. Hughes
election would mean control of the
government by "stand patters." He
said in part:
"The election of Mr.. Hughes will
put the government under the control
of stand patters. for the rule of
seniority will confer the chairman
ship of the senate committees upon
such men as Boise Penrose, Reed
Smoot, Warren of Wyoming and
Lodge of Massachusetts"
The vice president denied that la
Dor had injured the country, in press
ing for the passage of the eight-hour
bill.
every bit of legislation passed by
any congress in response to the de-
mand of labor has been wholesome
and beneficial legislation, but the
eight-hour law is not the vital or
paramount issue of thi scampaign, de-
spite the efforts of Candidate Hughes
to make it appear so. The real is
sue is whether the president of the
United States can continue so to
handle our foreign relations as to
keep our country at peace with
honor" he said.
The vice president challenged the
Republicans to say they would inter-
vene in Mexico. He criticised Hughes
for finding fault" without saying
what he would have done under the
same conditions and circumstances,
or what he will do if elected.
