Wants Driving Force
Charles e. Hughes, addressing his
second audience Of the day in the open
air at Lafayette outlined the policies
for which he stands, and declared that
he wanted to see in the United States
"a great driving force of patriotic
sentiment" which would furnish the
motive power for progress.
Il want American rights protected
throughout the world" Mr.. Hughes
said. II desire to see a great driv-
ing force of patriotic sentiment which
will give us the motive power of pro-
gress. We cannot have progress un-
less we have that loyalty and love for
our country which will enable US to get
up steam to supply energy.
And therefore that we may have
that I say that American rights must
be restricted throughout the world
with respect to American lives, prop
erty and commerce, with respect to all
nations of the world
The nominee reiterated his declara-
ton that the pathway of surrender
to force leads to civil war in the end"
declared that he stood firmly for arbi-
tration of industrial disputes and added
that as the friend of labor he would
not take the first step "along that path
way"
Friend of Labor
"I am the friend of labor" he said.
Who is not the friend of labor? If
a man isn't the friend OF labor he isn't
the friend of America because we are
all laborers in this country and we
have all got to go up or down together.
I'VE are good natured in this cam
paign. You cannot separate me in
friendship from any American citizen
whether he is a Republican or a
Democrat. 1 make no partisan ap-
peal in bitter way. I make no Re-
publican appeal in a purely partisan
spirit"
Mr. Hughes defined true American
as follows:
THE man who is a true American is
ono who rejoices in the victories of
our institutions in giving opportunities
IN which everybody shall have a share,
not selected few, but the diffusion
OF prosperity among the great mass
OF people in this country"

Speaks on Americanism
In his journey through Wisconsin

nelo the pace he set for himself in IL
llhols as the central figure in a we'll
managed, perfectly-staged tour. He
was, the leaders feel, a success. They
seem satisfied that Mr.. Hughes will
carry the State and that a strong Re-
publican trend is developing in the
Middle West.
In territory where there is a, large
population of citizens of German birth
or German extraction he emphasized
the issue OF Americanism. He did not
PICK out any nation for attack and did
not mention the word "hyphen." But
there was one statement made early
IN the day at Green Bay which was
taken generally as an answer to those
VINO nave alleged that he has side-step-
ped so direct treatment CT the issue
because the German-American ALL
ance and other German organizations
have declared for him.
Nobody can embarrass me by talk
ing about Americanism." Mr.. Hughes
exclaimed. II am not for this one or
for that one. l am for the United
States first, last and all the time,

In his talks about Americanism. Mr..
Hughes also laid stress on the inter
ruption of American commerce which
the Germans have alleged President

we propose that we shall enforce
American rights on land and sea "
said Mr.. Hughes in this connection,
with respect to all nations through
out the world, with respect to Ameri-
can lives, American property and
American commerce. We propose TO
stand four square among the nations
of the earth. We have no secret un-
derstanding; we have no intrigue of
