Washington, Aug. President Viii
son had Charles Evans Hughes speech
Of acceptance for breakfast this morn.
ing. He mad plenty of time to thor,
oughly digest 1.-THE speech-before
cabinet meeting. When that body con.
vened they all went to it.
The speech followed lines anticipat-
ed by the president and his advisors,
it was declared.
So certain were administration lead
ers that Hughes would say what he dill
so they said today-that tne presi-
dent has been preparing his own
speech of acceptance for several weeks
and it is now practically completed
with only few changes necessary
1t is understood his reply will be
largely constructive, dividing itself in
to two major parts:
Development of a declaration that
the republican party is "reminis-
cence' with platform of policies,
some of which it failed to handle when
in power and many of when the demo
Gratis have put into laws during recent
months.
Enunciation of a constructive bust
ness policy for the future, showing
what has been done and what will be
done through industrial preparedness
to meet the economic upheavals after
the war.
The president S address will not be
as long as that delivered by Hughes.
1t will include defense of the ad-
ministration S diplomatic course in
Mexico and toward European nations.
1t will point at length to prosperity
and peace.
There is now no intention on the
part of the president to reply to
Hughes address previous to his speech
of acceptance at Long Branch.
