He quoted Mr.. Hughes as having
said that I'VE have a sham battle over
prohibition" and asked il Hughes
took the position that the American
people were not concerned about
this.
Does he mean to say that they are
satisfied with conditions rs they ex-

He added Hughes also said that
Smiths election would greatly in

and demanded to know by what pro-
cess Of reasoning the former secre-
tary of state believed it to be a

He said President Hadley Of Yale

millions of right-thinking men and
women when he declared that the OBJ

Ject has not been attained"

The governor said this put an end
TO an effort by Mr.. Hughes and his
republican colleagues "to disturb the

statement that the cost OF the gov

that he gave the federal government

economies to lead the American peo-
pie to believe that there had been a
reduction in the cost Of government
