Hughes chose Peoria as the city from
which he should hurl forth today the
first speech of his second presidential
campaign tour. He spoke in the hall
in which the state Republican confer
ence was meeting and in an hours

ture enunciated practically every one

protective tariff, adequate laws cover
ing labo and fair treatment to legiti-

plenty of ginger in his uppercuts at

cisms of the Democratic administra-

Fond du Lac and Milwaukee
Party of Broken Promises
Charles E. Hughes, opening his sec
ond presidential campaign trip in an
address here today. characterized the
democratic party as party of brok-
en- promises which now presents ex-
travagan claims. The nominee took
up point after point touched on IN
President Wilson's speech of accept
ance and declared that The claims
made therein were extravagant and
that nothing of the sort had been ac-
eompfished. Il believe Mr.. Hughes
said that credit should be given
where credit Is due. but l think it inn
portant that no man should claim TO
have done what he has not done
.sOur opponents present a record of
broken promi !. : They promised to
reduce the cost OF living They have
not touched ii.
They promised to prevent was+s
and extravag ance They have been
more extravagant in the recent con-
GEES as I am informed on unim-
peachabIe authority. than any proceed
ing congress.
Let us be far. do not deny to our
opponents any reasonable credit for
what they have done. but I protest
AGAINST their taking Republican work
and after they had first prepared an
unavoidable bill demand extrava CANT
credit from the country for finally
aiding business by building upon u
Republican foundation"
