HUGHES GIVES
ATTENTION TO
LIND MISSION
Republican Candidate Tells of
the Treatment to Smaller
State.

RICHMOND. Ind. Sept. 22-In-
structions said to have been given by
President Wilson to John Lind, his
personal representative in Mexico.
during Huerta's time. was cited in
speeches by Charles Il. Hughes Mt
Fort Wayne and here in support or
Mr.. Hughes's denial that the admin
lstratlon sought TO deal with small
states in the same spirit as with large
states.
II have only recently received the
authentic information OF the actual
instructions that were given with re-
pect to tho government OF Mexico,
such as Mexico then had" Mr..
Hughes said. John Lind was au-
thorized by the executive to state
this proposition to a minister of an
other government, namely: 'Huerta
will be put out II he does not get out.
That is the preference OF the presl-
dent that II should be accomplished
by domestic means, II possible, but
that II 1t cannot be done by domestic
means. other means for the purpose
Will be resorted to-
There is no basis for that in the
recognition Of small states" Mr..
Hughes added. There is no basis
for that in the recognition of the SOW
ereignity of our neighbor. There, Is
no basis for that in a true and correct
American policy. We departed from
an American policy and left our citl-
zens to suffer from the barbarity
which resulted when all government
was destroyed and anarchy was su-
preme In Mexico. 1t is a deplorable
recital"
Refers 10 "Dinner Pail"
In dozen speeches today, most OF
them as rear platform addresses. OF
only few minutes each, the Repub-
lican nominee for president outlined
his views on Americanism, protection
of American rights, the protective
tariff, and the other party policies.
In one address, at Delphi, Mr.. Hughes
referred to full dinner pals" plo-
cards plastered on bill boards at La
fayette by Democrats.
"As l was going through the streets
OF Lafayette" Mr.. Hughes said. 81
saw n campaign placard which had
been put up by our friends on the
other side. That placard bore this
statement:
No idle men. Plenty of work.
A full dinner pail
~ though what an extraordinary
tribute to the memories of the Amer
lean voters How was 1t in 1914 and
in the early part OF 1915, after the
passage of the Underwood bill? Was
there plenty Of work? Were there
then no idle men? Were there then
full dinner pals?
''If we have no idle nen today, It
is not due to the policies OF our
friends on the other side, but in spite
Of their policies and because OF the
European war"
Mr.. Hughes again declared for the
protection Of American rights, in
Guiding lives, property and COM
merce.
For Pure Americnnism.
I'VE are not here for this nation,
Of that nation" he said, for this
side or that side. So far as / am
concerned, II entrusted with execu-
tive responsibility, / shall. to the ut
most OF my powers, maintain Ameri-
can rights on land and sea through
out the world. With respect to all
nations, stand here for the right
of Americans, four squares to the
world" j
In most of his addresses Mr..
Hughes again assailed the administra-
ton for the enactment Of the Adam
son law.
At Lafayette, another stop, Mr..
Hughes referred to the protective
tariff as an American doctrine, rather
than a partisan preachment.
Henry Clay called the policy of
protection the American doctrine, and
30 It is," Mr. Hughes said, ct ought
not to be partisan doctrine"
Tho future Of the United States,
Mr., Hughes told several audiences is
"full of nothing but agitation and
disturbance unless reason rules our
force"
II can see the United States en-
brotled in the most serious social
controversies" he said. II can see
certain course OF action taken that
would lead up periously close to civ
il war, / tell you. my friends, we've
got to have vision and justice. open
mindedness and care, and do all
that we can. noe to remove controv-
ersy-that is impossible to see
alive the sense Of Justice and have
