HUGHES DEPLORES
IDEA OF CHANGE
OF PRESIDENTS
Coolidge = AmericanisEn
lnearnate. Says See
rotary Of State

CINCINNATI, o., Oct. 1.-The re-
publican presidential eompaign IN Ohio
formally was opened here tonight with
Secretary Hughes as chief speaker, his
address covering almost every issue
raised thus far By either democEatic or
independent orators.
..Whatever may be the subject of cam
paign speakers" the secretary declared,
"there IL really only one issue In this
campaign and that is--shall the admin
istration Of Calvin Coolidge be con-
tinued?
THE average man, who is not inter
ested in the tactics of the campaign
why should there be changer"
Taking up first the arguments Of
"our historic opponents Of the Demo-
cratic. party" Mr.. Hughes dismissed
briefly what he termed eloquent dis
courses ohs the fundamental principles
Of American government.
Does it occur to our friends, that
If the question is one of Americanism,
you could not find in the length and
breadth Of the land a more typical
American than Calvin CoolidgeT he
asked.
Calvin Coolidge incarnates Ameri-
canism. There could be no betterment
in change 1t was equally vain tow
In change" IL was equally vain" to
seek nm isslfe In common honesty, Mr..
Hughes declared.
Fortunately, honesty Is com.
mOn," he added. ct II common
to both parties, because it Is COM
mon 10 Americans. II Is not the
special quality Of any party.
I'VE detest political corruption and
we demand the punishment of the guilty.
The republican who soils his hands in
corrupt dealings ID as treaeherous to his
party rs to his country. Every demand
Of justice Is being met and every in
tefest of the government Is being safe
guarded. No guilty person is being pro-
tected; every guilty person will get his
just deserts according to the law Of
the land" 4
The speaker decried however, "our OPP
ponents swiftly shifting to general
denunciation mingling the innocent with
the guilty in diatribes which are the
last resort Of desperate partisanship,"
1T is the open season for reckless at
tacks upon character. The democrats
assail the republicans and the Third
party pours out its yials of wrath and
condemnation upon both. When it
comes to indicting a whole nation, the
Third party has the best of 1t. But we
not only have common honesty in this
country we have sense Of humor."
From these matters Mr.. Hughes said
he would turn to more substantial
i:sues." He toUk up frs. the need of
economy in government. citing figures

in the annual cost of government of
