dress here Monday night. Charles L.
| Hughes Republican nominee for the
presidency, emphasized his views on
/ protection. the tariff. the need for safe
guarding business and not meddling
with it. and in protecting. also. the full
right OF the laboring man.

lie interest in this counery was ignored,
when it was derided and not safe
guarded by law" he said. I am glad
those periods are past. l believe they
have passed. I believe there is a new
sentiment abroad and that there is 4
sentiment which demands protection

all spoilatio1. against conSplracleS ana
against combinations of every sort. /
am against every abuse Of community
interests for the sake of private adval-

along that line and / haven't changed
my mind a bit in regard TO it
Regulation Must he Just.

There again it is the question Of
studying the facts of analyzing the ac-

into camp. and each side is inclined to
push up its side Just a little above

going to have justice reign in tits

We must not scott at that which /
makes production possible and expands /

prepare the way for healthy action.

while we cannot live by surgery
alone. we can live If we have surgery
