CAN'T GET PROTECTIVE TARIFF
RidicuIes Democrats in Brist-

Mulvane and Stanley of Kansas,
Confer With Hughes.
BY WILLIAM HosTER.

Chicago Aug. 9.-About 10000 peo-
pie, crowded into the Coliseum here
last night, cheered for a full minute
this definition by Charles E. Hughes of
the paramount issue of the campaign:
eff anything in the campaign is real" 3"
he declared, sit is that we are now
facing the question whether we want
words, or whether we want deeds;
whether we want that which is writ
ten or spoken or whether we want
American action in the interests of
the American people, worthy of the
American name, maintaining the
American honor and buttressing the
prosperity of the United States
Hughes, after another smashing
campaign day, mounted last night the
same platform from which he was
nominated for the presidency, fifty
troit triumph of Monday night.
Once more he struck out with
force, scorn and derision at the per-
sonal policies of President Wilson
Tho a bit husky of voice, he held
the attention of the vast audience for
full hour, moving them first to
cheers and again to laughter by his
epigrammatic sallies.
Renews Mexico Assault.
lie repeated his mexican assault
and. in addition last night, opened a
new attack on the administration for
extravaganza, pork barrel methods,
rejection of the budget system, raid
of the civil service law and using
diplomatic appointm to pay po-
litical debts.
His speech bristled with epigrams
revealing Hughes in an entirely new
light
Ridiculing the Democratic tariff
policy, he cried: you could no M
get a protective tariff out of a Demo-
cratic congress. sectionalIy organ anized,
than revival sermon out of disor-
derly house.
He referred to Villa as that emf
rent Sunday school scholar"
"I don't want any hot air in mine ."
he declared in another place
We got into an ignominious war
he said of the Vera Cruz affair, and
we backed out ignominiously."

He promised a business like admin
istration- if elected.

WHEAT SKYROCKET
Up 11% Cents a Bushel on Chicago
Grain Market.

Chicago, Aug. at tip top prices
of today's session OF the board of
trade. wheat showed an advance of
11s4 cents a bushel over last night.
The market thruout the session gave
evidence of great tension owing to
millions of bushels in domestic crop
losses officially confirmed and because
of disastrous further losses indicated
in Canada. The market closed ex-
cited, 10ss a Il ss C net higher. with
September at SLAM G1.443 and
December at $1.4S 11.4SSs.
Wildness of Buying Is Record
Wildness of buying by wheat trad
ers today exceeded any similar display
since the outbreak of the European
war. The majority of spectators here
had been decidedly incorrect regard
ing what the government report would
indicate and their belated efforts to
acquire holdings were made difficult
by like attempts on the part of for
eigners and by shorts who were caught
by the sudden upward whirl of the
market.
Despite lively profit taking the sup
ply of offerings in the wheat pit con-
tinued inadequate to meet the demand.
Alarming reports as to a further
spread of black rust in Canada added
to the strength due to the immense
losses confirmed on this side of the
international border.
