the policy for which he stands
Il stand for the firm and unflinching
maintenance of the rights of Ameri-
can citizens throughout the world" he
said. That is a vital question.

"Co-operation and Efficiency
Mr.. Hughes today also told bust
ness men of Denver at luncheon at
.he Mile High Club that American en-
terprise stood face to face with a new
era in which the watchwords were
cooperation and efficiency: that cap
ital and labor ARE our two hands," both
of which must be used intelligently and
with cooperation in the years to come
to make America first and America
efficient
Patriotism, the nominee declared,
needed to be directed a little differ
entity in the future than it had been
in the past. A sense of patriotism was
needed in public business, he said.
The United States, as "the greatest
corporation on earth, on its business
side" was entitled ito be as well man
aged as any corporation on earth,' and
to the full worth of its every dollar
spent in administration
The business men OF America Mr.
Hughes said, were, in his opinion, pa
triotic, broad. sound In their views
and ambitions. The day of building
private citadeIs along the highway of
commerce. by which the, tordinary
traveller could be held up and pay
tribute. he thought. had passed
A New Consciousness.
There had been, Mr.. Hughes said, a
new consciousness of what is due the
public with respect to public rights and
privileges. Because of that he looked
confidently to the future, where other
wise he would look with deep dismay.'
The luncheon was non-partisau
gathering. Among those at the guests
table with Mr.. Hughes were Robert W.
and Julius G. Gunter. democratic candi-
date for Governor of Colorado.
Brown University alumni were con-
spicuous at several tables. They well

the luncheon to get a glimpse of the
nominee on his departure.
Il do not think there has been in
many years a campaign in which bust.

so deep an interest" Mr. Hughes said
THE difficulties with which we are
dealing are. in the main. economic diff
ficulties. And these, l think, are ques-
tions that pass beyond partisan differ
ences.
I'VE ought to be able In this country
to do right, TO insist upon what is
right, to prevent abuses. to cut off
monopolistic practices. to check and
prevent monopolistic discrimination in
every unjust form. while at the same
time we have a fine sense of co-opera-
tion to have the United States go ahead d
and take a worthy place as nation.
