nominee. r....r -.
Chicago, Aug. S.-Charles E. Hughes
tonight told an audience that crowded
Chicago's great coliseum, the hall
where he was nominated, what he
would do If elected president of the
United States.
Mr.. Hughes said. the present admin.
istration was waste extravaganza and
vacillation. He declared that it had
not kept the country out of war, but
that it had fought an ignominous war
in Mexico and had withdrawn from
that war ANONYMOUSLY. He said the
administration which, having brought
the country much nearer to participa.
ton in the European war than the
country would have been, had the
administration .'stood for American
rights"
He declares that it was no more
possible to expect tariff protection to
American industries from q Demo
cratic, congress than 1t would be to
get "a revival sermon out Of dis
orderly house" ),
The. nominee assailed the admins
tration, for appointment to offices and
declared that, if elected, he would ap
point to. Office only men who were
qualified. n, =.
Attacks Navy Expenditures.
Democratic expenditures for rivers
and harbors were attacked by the
nominee.
Il proposed that we shall stop this
coarse business" he said. Il propose
that we shall have government in q
business-like way. We won't have
anymore, if l can stop it, of these
Kiss me and I'll kiss you appropria
tions in congress.
The nominee said he stood for 8
"business-like responsible budget
based on facts.
Il don't want any hot air in mine,
he added.
Approaching Protective Tariff.
The. Democratic party, Mr.. Hughes
said, was approaching the idea of g
protective tariff, like skittish horse
to a brass band" I'm 1872" he add
ed, "the Democratic platform said il
effect that protective tariff was un
constitutional.
"They say in effect now that thu
European war has changed the con
stitution Of the United States" hi
continued, "but do you think they are
converted? Don't you trust them q
little, minute with protecting Ameri
can industry. They haven't got it il
their bones. &~N .....
''All through the administration
policy" Mr.. Hughes said," I'VE have
allowed our word to be eaten up by
hesitation-by delay. We have some
how or other convinced the worli
our talk is cheap.
II propose that we have a new brit
of American purpose and courage. W.
have no occasion to fear war in thu
assertion of those rights, which al
the world will recognize and only hon
or and respect us for so doing"
The Mexican Situation.
Speaking of the Mexican situation
Mr.. Hughes said: IT the administra
tion had, at the outset, said to Huerts
we will recognize you if you can per
form your International obligations, i
you have got real government tha
can discharge it's duties,- we won
recognize unless we are satisfied tha
you have. But there is one .thint
that you and everybody else must un
derstand and that is this, American
rights and the privileges Of American
citizens in Mexico must be protected
and we will see to it.
THAT was the straight and correc
policy. That was the one thing tha
the administration ought to have don,
and the one thing that it could not do
"When men, who had been deserted
by their government when our war
ships left San Pedro, and allowed
British and German warships to res
cue our own people-think of it, wher
we had run away when one of thu
officers was asked about it, what dt
you suppose he said? He replied
you went down there to make money
didn't you?
