Republican A. p. Leased Wirel


 BILLINGS, Mont, Aug. I1.-Charles l.. Hughes, addressing a Chautauqua audience in a big tent on the village square here tonight, prefaced his ad- Vocacy of d protective tariff with the declaration that if he had been elect ed president, nothing would be pulled off for private benefit at the public expense if he could prevent if. MT. Hughes also adopted a demo- cratic slogan of the 1912 campaign 'pitiless publicity"
 'I desire in all that we do in this campaign" MT Hughes said, ito have what was called little while ago, four years ago, pitiless publicity I want pitiless publicity with respect 10 the pork barrel.
 T want pitiless publicity with re- spect to the sectionalism of this ad- ministration. I want pitiless publicity with respect to the extravaganza and wastefulness of this administration
 T want pitiless publicity with re- spect to the incompetence of ap- roin;ees of this administration. Let IS see that we have America first in the hearts of every American, Of Whatever race CT creed, and also America equal to her tasks-America efficient"
 MT. Hughes also assailed the ad- ministratiOn for having changed it's tariff views since 1912 and repeated his declaration in favor of a protec- tive tariff whose enactment and en- fOrcement should be left to the re- publican party.
 T desire to see a proper attitude toward business in this country" he said. T have done my share in at | fasra. l have just said must be supplement- ed by the remark that if I am elect ed. In connection with the tariff legis- lation there will be nothing pulled off | for private benefit at the public ex- : pense if 1 know it and can prevent it ] If ! am chosen, 1 propose to de vote whatever ability I possess to have things done right in this country for the interest of the people believ- ing that my part will achieve honor l and win the success it deserves and the only success it deserves. it is n party of service: and l shall not prostitute the offices of the United States for partisan rewards of in- competent persons.
 T have something to do with cut ting out abuse, but I believe that in this country We must be strong | monopolistic practices: fearlessly to prevent any action inimical to the public interest while at the same time we encourage honest American en thusiasm, endeavCr to have our for eign commerce extended and in every way make the American name com mercially a name of the first rank throughout the world.
 And I desire that no enc need hang his head in shame We are mol a ~ar-like people. We do noi near to threaten anybody. We do not want anything from anybody that ws are not entitled to, but when we say a thing the world should know thai we mean it and that we are able t' enforce it.
 The nominee repeated previous at ! Jacks on the course of the admiris traitor toward Mexico. also his dec laration that the administration ha, brought this country into serious diff ficulties with Mexico.
 No one could very easily, withou the utmost follv have brought us int war" Mir. Hughes said, but We hay been brought far closer to it than w should have been by the weaknes and vacillation that this administra .. tion has shown

 nominee also emphasized what h
 termed the need for industrial an
 commercial cooperation and prepar

 Inasmuch, he said, as within te
 years after the Russo Japanese wa
 Russia instead of being steeped e debt, had doubled in prosperit, e there was every indication that rC n covery from financial burdens ir
 rosed on the present European bel
 ligerents would be much more rap
 than anticipated now. This. he sai
