here tonight He spoke chiefly on re-
publican policies affecting agriculture,
subordinating other campaign issues
The protective tariff. the need for
preparation to meet the competition of
an energized Europe after the war, and
the Adamson law. were the nominees
chief topics. Maintenance Of American

essential to all prosperity and progress.
There must be with us as with our

Devoted to Interests Of Peace.
Now arises some one to say There
have been those going through the land
who have said vote for me i: ote TO-
war; 1 repudiate that suggestion. 1t
is an unworthy and preposterous sug-
gestion. I am a man devoted to the in

Of peace.

have greeted me today show beyond
any question; as it seems to me. that

I'VE must take a view of the primary
duty of the executive. What is it? The
G.
primarily the executive. 1t is not his
function to barter; it is not his func-
ton to grant or withhold privileges of
citizenship. He is the executive of the
people. lie is intrusted with the busl-
ness management of the great affairs .of
the nation. And his first duty is to
give a first-class. efficient, business adj
ministration of the government of this
country.
Criticises Secretary Baker.
"At the very outset of this admins
tration there were called to the high
positions of Secretary of State and Sec
rotary of Navy-positions closely re-
lated to our international affairs-men
of amiable qualities, men of excellent
character. but men very clearly I'M
equal to the high duties Of those posi-
tions We cannot attend to American
business in that way. And recently we
have found our Secretary of War SO
busy explaining his unfortunate utter
ances that it seems he could hardly
have time to attend to the necessary
duties of his Office 1t is of little i'm
portance that we should have vast ap-
for preparedness, unless !
we have the most competent admins
tration in the expenditure of the public
money"
After asserting that he was "a man
of peace" Mr.. Hughes continued:
