This was the slogan with which
Charles E. Hughes last night formal
ly accepted the Republican nomination
for President before an enthusiastic
audience which thronged Carnegie
Hall to capacity. On the flag-decked
stage from which he enunciated the
Republican policies were gathered
three hundred leaders of the reunited
party from ali sections OF the country
and from central tier box Theodore
Roosevelt applauded vigorously the
nominees caustic criticism of the
Democratic administration.
Amid outbursts which at times ap-
preached tumult, the nominee cnarac-
terized the conduct of the Democrats
in the country's foreign relations as a
"lamentable sacrifice of National re-
pute," and its course in Mexico dur
ing the past three years as a "travesty
of international policies" He laid the
blame for the existing condition of an
archy, murder and rapine in the ad-
joining republic directly at Mr.. Will
sons door and described the various
