Is Out For

Justice Hughes Scores Both

ing Endorsement.


MARION. O., Aug 25-Charles
Evans Hughes. republican candidate
for president in 1915. came out today
ScnaS1I Warren 6 Harding after
spcrding "A hours iii Marion.
In his rrst formal utterance since
the Chicago convention. Justice Hugh
IS not only expressed complete con
foence in the 1920 nominee. but he
also gave his approval to the plan Of
All association OF Nations for Inter
national Justice" proposed by Senator
Harding n his speech OF acceptance.
It is generally believed that the de-
tails for such a combination of gov
ernmcnts are now being worked out
in Europe by Elihu Root and VIII later
be injected into the republican cam
paign as the G o. P. substitute for
the league plan brought back by Pres
ident Wilson. Its function would be
70 promote international justice and
its powers limited 70 the decision Of
justicible questions
Justice Hughes also took occasion 10
score briefly both Gov Cox and Pres
dent Wilson The nomination 81
Gov Cox he said was brought about
by "baneful influences" while Pres
dent Wilson's @obstinacy' alone IS res
ponsible for the chaotic condition Of
our foreign relations.
Senator Harding and Justice Hughes
conferred at length over campaign
matters and particularly the league Of
nations issue While Justice Hughes
position on the league issue has never
been widely known. il has generally
been accepted that he sided with ma
iority of the republican senators who
voted for reservations Present also
the Hughes Harding conference was
Col George Harvey an irreconcila Bile
opponent OF the league and the Wilson
administration.
1t Is hardly necessary for me to
say that I shall earnestly support Sen
port Senator Harding said Justice
Hughes today, He is a man Of rare
poise. high minded and sincere NJ
one can meet him without being inn
pressed BY his exceptional capacity
and his integrity of purpose
He has complete familiarity with
the problems of federal administration
and We can feel assured that he Will
maintain the highest standards in G3v
ernment he knows how to secure
economy, to put an end 10 the extra
vagance which has marked the present
administration.
we cannot afford TO have a Tam
manyized federal government The
nomination OF Gov. Cox was. .bfought
about by the skillful and determined
effort OF local democratic bosses who
represent the most baneful influences
in our political life There Is one
sure way to defeat their effort to cap
tur the government al Washington and
that is to beat their candidate
7 believe also that Senator Hard
ing's election Will afford the surest
way or securing our proper relation
to international cooperation. This
country must do its part, but 1t must
reserve the right to act in any future
contingency according to its duty as
that contingency reveals it.

and to secure the advantages Of in

be secured and ] believe will be Sc
cured under the PRESIDENCY Of Mr..
Harding without guarantees which at
tempt TO commit US to unknown con-
tingencies and which vii lserve as
trouble breeders and not peace
makers.
we should have had an effective
international organization long ago il
1t had not been for President wilson's
effort TO commit the country to inde-
fensible guarantees and his obstinacy
in insisting on his own plan without
the notifications necessary for our pro
lection
Justice Hughes left here today for
St Louis. where he will attend a meet
ing Of the American Bar Association.
Senator Hardings only definite en-
gaEement today was a brief speech 10
a delegation Of Wyandotte county (o.)
republicans who will come 10 Marion
for a front porch talk.
