 OMAHA, Oct. 16-Charles E. Hughes replying to the charge that his election might mean that invisible government" would be installed in the United States. told an audience that crowded the auditorium here to the doors that as there had been no invis- ibie government in New York while he was governor, there would be no invis- ible government in the United States if he were president.
 'I think indeed it might be said" Mir. Hughes asserted, That the present ad- ministration has been in large measure an administration of unofficial spokes- men, of mysterious influences.

 Mir. Hughes assailed the administra- tion more vigorously than he has done before for the enactment of the Adam son law, declaring that it was "un- American and absolutely without jus tification ever to surrender either leg lslatlve or executive power to the de- mand of force, either by capital or labor" and declared that the plain people of this country should rebuke the administration for it's surrender to force"
 President Wilson's reference to "un- shackled business" made in the same hall on the presidents recent visit here was answered with the declaration that there had been mo clarification of the antitrust act" and by the nominees assertion that he was "afnazed at any such claim as has been put forward"

I don't propose to leave here till I tell him" The nominee reiterated his at tack on the administration for the en- actment of the law closing his speech with 1t. The crowd stood, waved flags. and cheered.
 Tt is d time for taking account of stock and ascertaining what is really for the best interests of the American people" MT. Hughes said. when we at tempt this critical examination. we are met by various pleas. 1 confess that I [ am not only surprised but amused at the character of some of these pleas For example. it is now said in sub stance that if 1 am elected to the posi- tion of executive responsibility for l which 1 have been nominated, that it will result in installing invisible gov ernment The fact that I was an op- ponent of invisible government was my title to public confidence, and it was because l was an opponent of invisible 1 government that, not according to my Continued on Page Two)
