 MT. Hughes speech of tonight marked the end of his first days cam paign of his two days tour of the
 state. It was day of crowds and noisy welcomes. .
 Going through Indiana he told the audience here tonight, T have met the most hearty greeting and to me it is a prophecy and an assurance that we are going steadily forward to victory
 on the seventh of November.
 1 We cannot say just how We will find things next March but we can
 state the principles by which We shall
 be guided" ne said. If 1 am elected
 president as 1 expect 10 be, 1 shall be
 guided by the principles of business
 administration in our great depart

 We are living in a time which is
 full of opportunities for the American
 people and also full of grave dangers.
 IL is no time to be contented with
 legislative phrase making without ref
 erence to the power of the statutes
 that are enacted to accomplish the pur- ] poses for which they are designed. We ! must have in this land more thor oUgh-gOing. more true and explicit . legislation If We are to accomplish the purposes which We have in view.
 "The executive is the nations honor.
 He is entrusted with our diplomatic
 instrumentalities. He is the man who represents the country in all its deal ] ing with foreign nations. It is today of the utmost importance that We have ! q proper expression of the rights of , American citizens and the dignity of
 American citizenship: and I desire and if l am elected, I propose so far as in me lies, to see that the right of Amer : ican citizens with respect to life. ] property and commerce are safe l guarded throughout the world That is not a policy that leads to l war. What a travesty it is 10 say that Q a policy that forfeits self respect, or
 does not represent America with the
 courage and indomitable spirit that our
 country has, is policy which will be
 to our lasting peace and security
 T do not want to be president of a b decadent people. The American people c are not decadent. They have the same . spirit which won and preserved our = liberties. All that is necessary is to r give a true expression to the spirit of . American life, and that expression will d conserve Americas peace because il s will present us to the world as a nation | (Continued on Page Two)
