Mr.. Hughes's Address.
"The close of the campaign brings us
back to vital questions" said Mr..
Hughes. They are questions which
affect every wage Garner, every one in
industry, trade or agriculture.
THE tests are very simple. The Re-
publican Administration does not face
these questions with mere professions
and vague promises. The Republica
Administration stands on che solid ground
of actual achievement In the face oi
what has been accomplished under this
Administration ii is idle to rehash old
controversies or to try TO stir up false
issues. What the American people
wanted has been done. and they know
that the credit is not due to those VIII
have obstructed but to those who have
helped.
Every one here is aware OF the Sc
rious conditions which existed twenty
months ago. No Administration since
the civil war has faced greater difficult
ties. In our domestic affairs we were
in a mess. Business was at a very low
point industry was languishing. In
consequence there was dire distress and
widespread unemployment. Five mill.
ions who wanted work were unable tc
get it, In our foreign affairs. IL possible
we were in a worse mess. The new
Administration was expected not to con-
tinuea useless debate but to act.
''The new Administration was expect.
ed to solve these difficulties. How, nd
body could tell. IL seemed to be task
impossible of performance. But the
Administration had been chosen because
of the confidence reposed in 1t by the
people. and 1t was expected to get the
nation out of these troubles and 90 lead
It back to prosperity.
Work of Recuperation.

perated' Many said You can't do any
thing unless you reform the whole world.
Well. IL you don't begin somewhere you
won't get anywhere and the United
states is a good place to begin to recu-
perate. And we have recuperated.
1T is of no use for our opponents.
even IL they are blinded by PARTISAN
ship. to attempt to delude the people as
to present conditions and the great
change that has been wrought. There
has been an enormous Improvement.
To-day industry, instead Of running be-
low so per cent. is running at 20 per cent.
OF capacity. The daily papers tell us
not Of enterprises that are being shut
down but of enterprises that are re-
opening. Prosperity has returned.
There Is no problem OF unempioy-
ment The difficulty is just the reverse.
The problem now. as we look into the
future. is how to get the necessary
la Dor. Industry Is looking for men who
want TO work; farmers are looking for
men 20 help them: the question is how
we are going TO get labor enough to
carry on the undertakings which are
going ahead In this splendid recovery of
business.
IL am very GLAD to have this oppor-
tunity OF attributing the great gains
that have been secured. in the contribu-

operation, for enlisting and appreciating

leadership and cooperation In thar White
House and In Congress. IN the House
and IN the senate.
Twenty months ago there was one
outstanding national need which
dwarfed all others. Tt was the absolute
necessity of Immediately stopping ex-
