RATHER Be RIGHT
THAN president"
Hughes Substitutes "Reas-
enable" for Word of the
Great Henry Clay

Portland Me-, Septmber 7.-Charles E.
Hughes told New England audience
today that he would rather stand for the
principle of reason in legislation and go
down to defeat than to yield lone jot
or little" of it and become President of
the United States.
Before five crowded audiences in Mas
sachusetts New Hampshire and Maine
the nominee assailed the administration
vigorously for the enactment Of the
Adamson eight-hour law. He called it
mot an eight-hour law but wage law
said that it was passed "confessedly in
ignorance of the facts" asserted that
while it had been said in it's favor that
society favored the eight-hour day, So
ciety had nothing to do with the measure
and declared emphatically that that
kind of virus in our life would bring
the nation to disaster in the end.
Mr.. Hughes in Portland tonight faced
an audience in the city hall auditorium
from which so many were turned away
that an overflow meeting of several thou
sand was formed outside.
He spoke from the platform where Ray
mond Robins. chairman of the progress
sive national convention at Chicago, had
just told the audience why he was no
longer d OeInOCTdl Ut d progressive dIlu
why he supported the republican ticket
Previously the nominee had spoken at
Beverly, Mass, Hampton Beach and
Portsmouth, N. H., and York Harbor,
Me. In each address he assailed the
administration for the enactment Of the
Adamson law.
In his Portland speech Mr.. Hughes in
addition to his attacks on the administra-
ton in connection with the passage of
the Adamson law, reiterated his stand
on the tariff, efficiency of the govern
ment, the merit system, protection Of
American rights and other issues.
Before the nominee spoke Mr.. Robins
addressed the crowd.
IT have no apologies to make for hav-
ing been democrat or a progressive"
he said. zone reason why am no
longer democrat and do not intend to
go back to the democratic party is be-
cause 1 know the democratic party too
we'll"
Mr.. Robins said that he was born in
the south and added:
1.-THE economic and social issues which
confront the country cannot be entrusted
to a party that is under southern con-
troll. There are good men and women
in the south, but southern life has not
kept step with our western and northern
life
Mr. Hughes tomorrow will continue his
trip through Maine. two crowded days
remaining before the state election.

BORDER QUESTION
INVESTIGATION IS
WELL UNDER WAY
James Linn Rodgers Is Pres
ent at Commission Ses-
sion to Tell of COndi-
tons in Mexico

New London, Conn. September 1.-The
American Mexican commission appointed
to evolve settlement of border disputes
was not in session today, but the Amer
lean commissioners spent several hours
in studying data on conditions along the
international line and in Mexico provided
by the state and war departments. They
also questioned at length Special Agent
James Linn Rodgers and Stephen II.
Bensal, also attached to the state de-
partment, as to their personal knowl-
edge of affairs beyond the border.
Secretary Lane ltae said the American
commissioners had found many hopeful
signs. Conditions in Mexico, both eco
nomic and social appear to pc on the
mend, he said, and official reports to the
state department bear out the views IN
this regard expressed yesterday by the
Mexican commissioners.
The Joint sessions will be resumed to-
morrow, Louis Cabrera, head of the Mex
lean commission, having returned tonight
from Boston, where he was called yes
terday on personal business necessitating
today's adjournment.
The request for the withdrawal of the
American expeditionary force prob ably
will be formally presented by the Next
can commission tomorrow
One of the papers examined today was
a report made by General Pershing about
a month ago saying that the object Of
his expedition had been accomplished
SC far as it had been possible to COM
plete it under the conditions which sur
round the movement. Another was the
formal recommendations of General Fun
ston that the Pershing expedition be re-
called The Washington government has
never formally admitted the receipt of
this message, but there can be no doubt
of it's existence.
