THE other afternoon ! saw two
| dear old ladies standing on
the sidewalk, watching the
taking Of pictures. only they had no

WILSON WARNED OF PENDING R. K. STRIKE
That Is New Claim Of Hughes in
 Saratoga Speech

Saratoga Springs. N. Y, Sept. 29.
 The republican state conference, after adopting platform in which the presidents method of averting the threatened nationwide railroad strike was condemned, listened last night to a speech by Charles E.. Hughes in which the candidate for president made the Adamson Eight khour law the paramount issue of his &cam paign.
 Referring to President Wilson, not
 name but as the Executive" MT
 ghes In effect charged that the
 Fesident had told a wilful untruth
 asserting that the country had 8een faced unawares by crisis which Aemanded the passage of the legisla Yon. He produced documentary evil dence to support his assertion that the administration and President Will son personally was urged by the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, weeks before the actual threat of a strike was made by the railroad brotherhoods, to start an inquiry that would avoid Just such a crisis as finally did confront the country.
 MT. Hughes was honored with a demonstration lasting eleven minutes when he appeared with Mrs. Hughes on the platform of the great con- vention hall where he was nominated for governor in 1906 and 1908. the first time, so political history re- lates, at the order of Theodore Roose- velb who was then president and who today is supporting MT. Hughes for that office.
 There were grouped on the plat fform with him Governor Whitman, who presided at the meeting, and most of the republican leaders. There Fwere few ex-progressives in sight. lJohn W. McGrath, political assistant to George W. Perkins. occupied a seat at the press table. He had come to the convention with the demand that the progressives have eight of the presidential electors to be nom- mated or there would be fight. While definite action on this issue , was delayed until Oct. 8, there Is little made.
 It was a subject of comment that not once in his address did Mr. Hughes refer to Governor Whitman or any other candidate on the state ticket. MT. Whitman, who intro- dueed MT. Hughes, started out on what promised to be an elaborate 1audatory address. When he men, toned the name of MT. Hughes the crowd rose and cheered. The nom- inee stepped to the front of the plat form and began to speak as soon as the demonstration ended. The meeting, with it's county organizations and cheer leaders, provided plenty of noise. It gave MT. Whitman one min- ute and thirty seconds of applause.

JOFFRE AND HAIG
 SEE SURE VICTORY
Exchange Notes on Recent Suc-
 CeSSeS in SOmme Area

British Front in France, Sept. 29, 12:15 D. m., via London, 2:17 D. m.- General Joffre, commander in chief of the French army, has sent mes sage of congratulation to General Sir Douglas Haig, commander in chief of the British forces on the recent British successes.
 "FolloWing on the continuous prog ress made by your armies since the beginning of the Somme offensive,' the message says, "These fresh sue victory over the common enemy, whose physical and moral forces are already severely shaken"
 After saying that the combined of fensive has bound still closer the ties of the two armies and that "our ad- versary will find therein a proof of our firm determination to com bine our efforts until the end to insure the complete triumph of our cause" Gen. Joffre concludes:
 ''I bow before those of your soldiers have been achieved, but who have fallen before the completion of our task and I ask you to convey in my name and in the name of the whole French army to those who stand ready for the battles to come, greeting, com radeship and confidence"
 General Haig's Reply.

best that can be done. He says re- ferring to the recent railroad situation that I object not to the 'averted strike,' but to the mode of it's ac- complishment, to wit: by the threat of a strike within time too short for due consideration of necessary legislation.'
 II am not prepared to admit the necessity of wage increase by law. But I do object in every fibre of my being to legislation under duress. I object to the surrender of the executive force. That is the path of disas- ter. If the distinguished ex-secretary of state desires to take the nation along that path, I will not accompany him.
 HIS asks why I did not urge 'twen- ty-eight republican senators to fill buster to the last ditch.' We'll, I do not believe in filibustering, for one thing. If congress through it's major ity determined to pass the bill tn ere was no reason whatever why its ac- tion should be merely delayed by fili- clustering. Arguments along this line really come to this, that in some way the administration should have been saved from itself
 "The truth is that the executive destroyed the moral strength of the situation when he threw up his hands, yielded the principle of arbitration and went to congress demanding the railway wage bill as the price of peace. Congress, so far as the morale of the situation was concerned, rati- fled a surrender already made.
 .'The administration chose it's ground; it selected it's ground care fully and with a manifest view to partisan expediency. In the closing days it acted with swiftness and it cannot now cry that a republican can didate a thousand miles away should have saved 1t from carrying out it's fixed determination"
 MT. Hughes then read this extract from a letter, date July 29, 1916, to President Wilson from Harry A. Wheeler, chairman of the committee on the railroad situation of the cham Der of commerce of the United States:
 'T feel constrained to bring to your attention a matter in connection with the controversy between the railroads and the trainmen's brotherhoods in the hope that you will see fit to start an inquiry on DehalI or the adminis- tration as to the near approach of an actual crisis in the matter and to verify the statement which herewith submit.'
 Then Mr. Hughes continued with the reading of the correspondence, which he gave as proof that the ad- ministration had been warned in time to prevent the "crisis' which the president asserted had faced the coun- try.
 In addition to this attack, Mr. Hughes built up his criticism of the administration step by step, as he had done in previous addresses. He charged that the democrats presented 8 record of broken promises, and named them one by one. He referred to the welcome home" as the hap. piest event of his campaigning days
New Britain herald., 1916-09-29

the Adamson legislation with 8 ref erence to the recent statement by Richard Olney supporting the presi- dent, and made this assertion, which caused enthusiastic cheering:
 "Mr Olney says that I doffed the judicial ermine to wear the motley garb of a seeker for off1ce I say to him, I did doff the judicial ermine and I admit that you know, and every American knows that it fell from my shoulders unSullied.
 "No American need apologize for being a candidate for office, least of all I. I desired to remain on the bench, I had no desire to return to politics, but there came summons which no honorable man could re- fuse. did assume the garb, call it motley or what you will. of a seeker of office, and l am now before the American people seeking the highest office in it's gift. For what purpose? Not that I covet power, but I do covet the opportunity, 1T It is afforded, to maintain American rights and American honor.'
 While speaking, MT. Hughes made vigorous gestures and paced up ana down on the platform. As he con- cluded his reply to MT. Olney the au- dience of 5000 persons rose, cheered and waved banners. Mrs Hughes seemed deeply affected by the demon stration. What MT. Hughes said was taken as his answer to those who have criticised him for dragging the Su- preme Court of the United States into politics."
 After the demonstration Mr. Hughes continued
 Our distinguished former secretary of state has made some observations with respect to American rights. He makes a mistake in assuming or suggesting that the criticism of tho Administrations foreign policy Is, as he puts it, that our peace Is peace without honor,' saying that If our national honor had been consulted, the United States would be fighting We have no occasion to get into war with respect to known rights that any nation will respect if we know how to convince that nation that we arc firm in maintaining them.
 "I like MT. Olney's pen as secre- tary better than his pen as an apo!- ogist. We have no convincing sign that we meant to enforce rights. That is the difference between resolution in fact and resolution in theory.'
 Assault on White House.
 Tn his attack upon the president in connection with the Adamson law, MT. Hughes quoted this passage from the presidents address to congress of Aug. 29, asking that the legislation be adopted which followed declara- tion by the executive that he yielded to no man in his belief in arbitration:
 But matters have come to a sud- den crisis In this particular dispute, and the country has been caught un- provided with any practicable means of enforcing that conviction in prac- tice, (by whose fault we will not now stop to inquire). ....- ...
 MT. Hughes developed his argument I in this way:
 "A distinguished democrat, a for 1 mer secretary of state, (Mr O1ney), l wh om I have always admired and re- | spected and whose record presents a singular contrast to that of the pres ent administration, springs to it's de- fense in it's hour of trial.
