HUGHES TALKS TO
DAYTON VETERANS
Nominee Says Every Genera
tion Has It's Part in Preser-
vation of Liberty.
PATRIOTISM NEEDED NOW

Dayton, O., Sept. 25.-The United
States, Charles E. Hughes today told
an audience of civil war veterans,
will not endure unles each generation
stands firmly for the dignity Of Amer
ican citiznship and the honor of the
flag.
What | most want to see in this
country" Mr.. Hughes said, "is to
have our young men, our middle-aged
men, all our men and our women, too,
fired with the patriotic spirit of 'ol.
@You veterans aided in preserving
the union at critical time, but in a
very true sense every generation
must preserve the union. We are
still a very young country as COM
pared with empires OF the past that
have flllen from decay. We cannot
be preserved alone by the valor OF
our ancestors, by those OF an earlier
day, but we can indeed, be preserved
if we keep alive their spirit
Call for Real Patriotism.
"As l look to the future and great
ly desire that we should find solu-
ton for the economic problems OF
our country, l am deeply impressed
with the fact that we must have
driving power OF progress, of love for
our country. Whatever our race,
whatever our creed, wherever we
spring from, wherever our fathers
were born, we must have an intense
devotion to our country, the United
States, if we are going ahead in the
troubleous days of the twentieth CEN
fury and hold our nation where it
belongs, in the front ranks Of the ma
tions of the world
Surely, my friends, you must look
into the future with some concern as
you think of the possibilities of agita-
ton and disturbances in this land.
We, you and |, so far as I could, la
bored in the past for the preservation
of the union, but the union of states
must be typical of a union of spirit.
We must have sense of comradeship
that is very real. Labor in all its
activities must feel that its work is
dignified by justice.
Must Meet Emergencies.
II look to the United States OF the
future as nation with governmental
policies, which will maintain general
as nation prepared for
every emergency. We seek peace, but
we are firm in the determination that
we will enforce American rights and
have peace with honor and security
The republican party has been the
party OF national honor. In our in
ternational relations under republican
administration the dignity and pres
tige of the United States has been of
the highest"
Mr.. Hughes had intended to deliver
four addresses here today, but the
throat specialist accompanying him
vetoed the arrangement. The nominee
will deliver one more address in Day !,
ton at the auditorium tonight. His
voice seemed to have improved today.

NEAR-DROWNING
AT DAPHNE POOL
CORDELE PARTY UNDERWENT
EXCITING EXPERIENCE WHEN
PLANK WAS UPSET IN PLAY.

An exciting experience, in which
had hair-breadth escapes from drown.
| ing, occurred at Daphne Friday after
noon. The near-tragedy occurred when
members of a recreation party from
| Cordele were in bathing in the pool
at that resort.
Mrs. John E. Greene and Mrs. A. S.
Denham, thoroughly frightened and
exhausted, sank for the second time
and but for the timely arrival of aid
from other bathers, would have gone
down for the usually fatal third time.
Wayne FAINT and Robert Poole, who
were in bathing with the ladies at the
time of the experience, came near
losing their lives in an effort 20 save
the women. At every attempt on the
part of FAINT and Poole to pull them
to the bank, the women, following the
instincts of drowning person, clutch
ed them desperately and twice they all
went uHuer tOSeJleT.
@. j. Taylor young man who was
among the bathers, readily took in the
situation and unhesftatingly went to
the assistance of Mrs. Denham, who
would certainly have been drowned,
according to bystanders but for his
efforts. At the same time Wilbur
Johnson swan to the aid of Mrs
Greene and carried her to safety
Poole was practically helpless when
FAINT swan to the bank and then dis
covered him struggling in the water,
returning to his assistance. All had
swallowed a large quantity of water,
which was over eight feet deep where
the bathers were.
The accident occurred when Mrs.
Greene, Mrs. Denhan, Mrs Seymour
Catchings and Messrs. FAINT and Poole
were floating on large plank in the
pool, the men teaching the ladies how
to swim. Wilbur Johnson dived from
the bank and came out of the water
near them, and mischievously, pulled
the plank from under them. Mrs
Catchings succeeded in again reach
ing the plank and chung on until the ex
element was over
