Buffalo, n. Y. Sept. 30.-Nominee
Hughes closed his scheduled campaign
tour here tonight with a new broadside
fired from fresh ammunition, at Presi-
dent Wilson's campaign position that
he desired to see American business
expand and seek new fields abroad
American pitted against the world, not
in selfishness, but in brains.
The Republican candidate did not
mention Wilson or Bryan by name, but
his language of criticism and analysis
called forth to seek votes in any other
previous speech. He listed failure of
the Democratic state department to
aid in the Chinese six-power loan; the
supplanting of trained diplomats in
Latin-America with unframed men;
the Santo Domingo scandal and the
Lack of protection afforded American
business and American property in
Mexico. all as granting IAN opportunity
to test the promises that are made
with respect to the development of
American trade ana the opportunities
of American enterprise by the fail
ures of the policies and the regrettable
mistakes that we have observed in
connection with the administration"
1t was remarkable tonight that this
new charge against the Wilson admin
istration came first from the G. o. P.
candidate In the country whose great
est product-grape juice-was made
famous by the secretary of state, whose
dollar diplomacy Hughes attacked.
The nominee made his first fling at
Bryan although not by name-in a
speech at jamestown, and he reiterated
that attack also without names in
even stronger terms here in Buffalo
tonight to one Of the biggest and most
enthusiastic audiences he has had on
his present trip.
A LOST OPPORTUNITY.
Our opponents. he said, "have a.
great deal to say now as they have
said in times past, with regard to the
facilities for American enterprises and
the principles of American trade. 1t
was important to the nation that we
should have fair relation to the ad-
vantages with China in the future
But when the present administration
came into power and these bankers
asked whether they would have the CO.
istration, they were informed, In ef-
feet. that the administration did not
desire them to continue. We lost an
important opportunity for American
trade"
Continuing. Hughes remarked as
very regrettabe' that despite claims
of Latin American relations. the ad-
ministration withdrew man after man
from the nations who was a
trained diplomat well known for ex-
perience and special fitness, in order
to supply places and meet the demands
of partisan expediency."
I'VE cannot afford In the future" he
added, ito have men of second or third
or fourth rate take the places of men
who are known to have given many
years faithful service in diplomatic In
tercourse and have acquired experience
and training OF the greatest value to
this country. In one case, the presi-
dent on one of the republics was asked
what he thought of the new represen-
tative and he replied: We'll, I sup
pose we think OF him about the same
as you do 1t was a very polite way
of stating the opinion which had been
gained, as we'll as intimating the opin-
ion that had been sacrificed"
CASE OF sANTo DOMINGO.
The candidate then cited the case
Of Santo Domingo. where he said the
Democrats superseded Republican ex-
perts appointed with men without ex-
perience or other than political recon-
mendation to administer their trusts.
1T is said by the administration that
they desire to open the door for Amer
ican enterprise. What is the induce
ment for our merchants and business
men to go to foreign countries and en-
gage in American enterprise IL they
and their investments are treated as
