 CHICAGO, Oct. 5.-Former United States Senator Albert J. Beveridge. opening his western speaking tour in behalf of Charles E. Hughes here to- night, attacked the administration foreign policy claimed republic credit for the so-called constructive legisla- tion of the administration and de clared the prosperity of the present was sectional, spotted and stained
 He characterized the handling of the threatened labor strike as jug gling with eXpediencr" and declared it had wrought deadly harm to the cause of union labor.
 Senator Beveridge denied that the country has been kept out of war. We invaded Mexico, he said. and withdrew. But American marines were killed. Our territory was inVad- ed by Mexicans who were driven out. but again Americans were killed. We invaded that country once more and today our military forces, with siege guns are entrenched in the heart of northern Mexico. They have fought with uniformed Mexieans. and soldiers of both sides have fallen"
 | Said Mir. Beveridge:
 The administration boasts of con structive laws Where did they come ! 2 | law? A republican. Who was the
 author of the national child labor | law A progressive and republican, | Who proposed and framed the tariff 1 commission law? The same man who originated national child labor legis- l latiCn. Who advanced the idea of a national trade commission2 An eHi- nent American business mana pro-
 gressive and republican.
 l ssH 1 fighting for these reforms MT. Wilson and his party frowned upon and op- posed them, Only when the fight was finished and public opinion so firmly i behind these aggressive measures that the forces of reaction and localism | dared oppose them no longer. did MT | Wilson change his mind and force q reluctant and grumbling party to half -heartedly support them And this was done at the twelfth nour
 under the compulsion of terror of the | i'm bending election. How will laws, so originated and so enacted, be exc

 unfriendly?"
 On the subject of prosperity, said MT Beveridge:
 ''The administration points to our prosperity. Where it is? in Massa-
 chusetts? Yes. In California? No. h COnnectCulF les. Tn oregon 1 No. In Pennsylvania Yes. In Wash ington2 No. In the Mississippi val ley? Yes. In the western mountain l states? No. Certain sections have industrial imitation, but other parts of the country shave depression Genuine prosperity must be nationwide.
 Put our so-called prosperity today
 is sectional. It appears only in sots.
 It is a spotted osperity-spottad and stained. Wherever the war has di-
 rectely reached the sources of ro
 duction. business is good; elsewhere
 business is bad. We must have a
 tariff that will protect all parts of
 the country alike in peace as well as in war. and make our prosperity
 genuine steady. and national. , The capture of foreign trade is only less necessary than the preserva- tiOn of our home markets and it will . ibe harder tG accomplish. Yet it must be done We were making a surplus l before the war; that surplus will he 3 greater after the war. Unless we sell it abroad, we will have congestion at home. This means lower wages, idle l men, tighter mOney-all the elements t of panic. An unsold surplus is the I blood clot in the heart of business. \ For q long time the nations at } war cannot buy from us, except in ] (Contlnued on Page Two)
