that the Republican party, whatever its
shortcomings, has had constructive
genius"
"If I were asked to name the man
who in my judgment is the leading
progressive of our day." Mr.. Hughes
said, Il would name the Republican
candidate for President Herbert Hoover.
To think progressively-that is, toward
betterment, to plan to achieve some
thing worth while by practical methods
in the interest of the American people
is as natural to him as to breathe"
He declared that Hoover did not favor
forcing Government into business.
Present prosperity. he said, may be con-
tinued by economy, by protection to
American interests through adequate
tariff, by the extension of transporta-
ton facilities and by Government CO.
operation in cooperative enterprises.
Mr.. Hughes quoted from speeches of
Gov. Smith criticizing Republican pros
perity claims. and said sit is fatuous
to ask American voters to support Gov.
Smith in order to maintain the Re-
publican policy of protection"
The Republican nominee was char
acterized by Mr. Hughes as "labor's
best friend" and as the efficient friend
of humanity, with an Americanism that
is not thing of slogans or catch words
to win voters
For the first time in the Nations
history, he continued, system of gov
ernmental economy has been put into
force by Republicans which has pre-
vented oppressive taxation.
