HUGHES OUTLINES PRINCIPLES
Tells of Policies by Which He Will be
Ruled If Elected.

Boston, Oct 81. Charles Evans
Hughes, speaking here last night, out
lined explicitly the policies he pro-,
poses to pursue If elected president.
Following on his declaration of yester-
day that he will be elected. his state
ment attracted much attention. These
are the principles by which Mr.
Hughes said his administration would
be guided:
An executive responsible to the
whole nation.
A cabinet chosen from our ablest
men.
A foreign policy that stands courte-
ously but firmly and consistently for
American rights.
A flag that protects the American
citizen in his lawful rights. wherever
his legitimate business may take him.
A. preparation for trade cooperation
which shall protect all groups Of Amer
ican workmen.
A government supervision Of busi-
ness which, while preventing abuses.
will act on the assumption that the av-
erage business man Is honest.
A domestic policy which looks to in
duetrial peace and cooperation, not to
industrial war.
His Presidential Policy.
INC man can. tell in advance" Mr..
Hughes said, what unexpected de-
mands the next four years may pre-
sent, but one whose conception of a
presidents duty rests upon funGa-
mental principles can describe with
sincerity how the problems of adminis-
trat!on would be approached and In
what spirit they would be solved.
"I propose, first Of all, to start right.
The president is primarily the execu-
tive. 1t is his supreme duty to attend
to the business of the nation, to safe
guard its interests. to anticipate and
understand It's needs, to enforce Its
laws. The first act of president who
takes this view of his duties is to call
about him the ablest cabinet the coun-
try can furnish, the most competent
administrative heads of the vast de-
partments Of the nations affairs; men
who can deal with the tremendous in
ternational and domestic problems
which will confront us in the next
four years.
The Wilson Cabinet.
my conception Of tho presidency is
radically d::H:screH. s-c.: that which
seems, to have governed the action Of
the present administration. At tho
very outset Of the present administra-
tion, in the two departments of gov
ernment most closely touching our
foreign relations - the department OF
state and the department Of the navy
there were chosen men who. whatever
their amiable qualities, were absolute
ly, unequal TO the high duties of their
great positions.
ut is manifest that the great inter
ests Of the nation and the most inn
portant executive obligations were sub
kordinated to conception OF partisan
Iexigency. can.3sec far enough into
the future to assure the country that
Il / am vested with executive respon-
sibiiity 1t will be discharged upon
sound administrative principles. thru
the ablest cabinet the country can
supply"

Villa and his bandits have left the Mex

request by Andres Garcia, inspector
general of consulates, asking for defin-
ite information regarding Villas move
ments.

MED there had been any fighting at
Fresno, eight miles from chihuahua
