HUGHES DEMANDS
 COX REP PUD|ATE [ IF LEAGUE
[RepublIcan A. p. leased WIrel

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct 2S-A demand that Governor Cox frankly repudiate the obligation which article ten of the league of nations would im- pose upon the United States" was made in an address here today before the Columbus club by Charles Evans Hughes
 The speaker after a detailed andy sis of the article, declared it would ob- ligate the United States to under write the territorial delimitation of the Versailles treaty. whether good or bad" He said there was no necessity for clarifying" the article, as pro- posed by the Democratic presidential candidate.
 The only thing that will reassure the American people is to eliminate it" said Mir. Hughes. "In case of future conflict" the speaker continued whatever may be our opinion of its merits, and however removed it may be from any interest of ours, we are l bound to 20 to war if necessary to preserve as against external aggres- i sion. territorial possessions recognized under the treaty. The objection to this | is that 1t does sacrifice our independ ence of judgment. It commits us in advance to act in unknown contin- ! gencies.''
 The speaker cited the Democratic platform and Governor Cox's confer 1 ence with President Wilson soon aftel his nomination. in an effort to show that the president and Governor Cor stood together on article 10.
 Governor Cox now says that he i! willing to accept reservations that vii clarify, or will be helpful, that will re assure the American people, said MT Hughes Does the candidate expec to escape with such banalities? Wha will 'clarify,' help or reassure?'
 There is no necessity to clarify the obligation is retained and the on thing that will help or 'reassure' i to eliminate the obligation. Will MI
 Cox do that? Not by trying to re assure and retaining article ten at tn
 same time. but will he frankly repud
 late the obligation which this articl
 seeks to impose?"
 Mr Hughes asserted that Americ
 desires an association of nations which would dispose Of controversie ! according to law and not expediency.

SAYS WILSON ADMINISTRATION GREATEST REIGN OF SECRECY
 AND OPPRESSION IN HISTORY

Senator LaFollette and a fraud on the American people.
 When l heard that Senator LaFol- lette was refused access to my report. informed his counsel and told his counsel to inform the government that would testify in support of the sen ator's statement and that l would not remain silent and see any man cruci- fled for telling the truth. Whereupon the trial was postponed from week to week and finally dropped. It has been admitted by the German admiralty that the Lusitania was struck by a Ger man torpedo. But it will never be known whether or not there was a sec ond explosion in the Lusitania's cargo which made her sink before she could be reached e We do not know and never will know actually what was in all the hoxes and cases which made up this cargo. But we did know that there was one consignment on board the Lusitania of 4200 cases of Spring field metallic cartridges. each case containing 1000 cartridges with five pounds of black powder. Therefore. there was concentrated in one con signment in the hold of the vessel a shipment of nearly II tons of black powder. which by the impact of the torpedo may very well have contrib uted to the incredibly rapid sinking of the great. liner. The other consign- ments of ammunition and shrapnel known to have been on the Lusitania were consigned to the British govern ment, but contained no explosives. | Denies Ship Was Armed
 ''President Wilson was perfectly right when he denied the charge made by the German government that the Lusitania was armed. She was not armed But the administration was dead wrong when 1t sought to keeI from public knowledge all the fact: about the Lusitania case"
 Concluding his address, Malone said
 ''No matter what may be the indi- vidual opinions on the Lusitania. ol any other question of public knowl edge, we must teach our political lead. CTS and our government that the Amer
 ican people are not afraid to learn tn
 whole truth about anything and ar willing to draw their own conclusion
 when all the facts are presented. Tn
 autocratic suppression of the truu
 through the arrogant autocracy of th Headers of both old parties is merel another reason why the people at thi
 election are seeking for a new Kind
 administration, politics and govern ment"
