tically cheered and supported by thou
sands of Philadelphia's most represen-
tative citizens. Charles E. Hughes Re-
publican Presidential nominee, last
night scored the Democratic admins
tration in one of the most complete
arraignments of it's kind. skillfully
pointing out its errors and incapaci-
ties, finally closing with strong dec
laration for real Americanism.
Seldom before in the history of the
city of Philadelphia has a candidate
for any office. National, State or NUM-
cipal received such an ovation as that
accorded the present standard bearer
of the reunited Republican party.
Thousands waited outside the Met
ropolitan opera house for a possible
word from Mr.. Hughes when he should
have completed his speech within the
building. They heard the wild cheers
of his listeners and renewed the ap-
plause with even greater abandon.
Patriotism Reigns
1t was a night when patriotism reign

audience urged him on to even greater
efforts. the man who left the Supreme

a restoration of American policies and
ideals, tore to shreds the weak excuses
and varying explanations of President
Wilson's action as the Nationals head
made by his Cabinet members and
other chief political supporters.
Skillfully varying his attacks with a
frankness of purpose and expression
that won for him not only the support
of his most ardent admirers. but even
that of a very small part of the au-

pathetic mood. Mr.. Hughes pleaded

spect for the Nation in every part of
the globe and yet would not plunge
the United States into the dreaded
wars pictured so vividly by Democra-
tic orators in event of Republican sue
cess at the polls in November.
With the daring actions of the lat

shipping still fresh in the minds of the
audience. Mr.. Hughes outlined the
policy of the Republican party in most
appropriate terms. He said:
I'VE do not propose to tolerate any
improper interference with American
property with American mails or with
legitimate commercial intercourse.
I'VE will not tolerate any practice
that any American who is only exer-
cising his American rights be put on
any blacklist by any foreign nation.
I'VE will put them according to
their just rights under international
law.
I'VE stand for the interests of the
United States and its citizens. and
these only, first, last and always"
In these words the former Governor
of New York outlined the principles of
true Americanism which will be in
augurated in the conduct of the Ma
tion's affairs with the success of the
Republican party at the coming elec-

natural consideration of the interna-
tional rights of others.
Reviews Wilson's Rule
Taking the Wilson administration
from it's first day in office nearly four
years ago, the Republican nominee

be faced. He described in detail the
economic problems which must be met
when Europe once more turns itself
to the pursuits of peace.

the reelection of President Wilson, his
