WOMAN TO MAKE CAMPAIGN FOR HUGHES.
S
laboring class in prosperity, he said,
but 'the prosperity of the country or
its lack affected all citizens. It be
hooved the men responsible for the
policies of the country, he said, to
look forward to the day when. Eu
rope, at peace, would wage fierce com
mercial competition with America and
to guard American workingmen
against that time.
After his main address at Arcadia
Hall. Mr. Hughes delivered a second ad
dress at the Light Guard Armory In
which he reiterated many of the state
ments made In the first address.
Six Speeches Made During Day.
Mr. Hughes spent a strenuous day in
the stifling heat of Detroit. He made
six speeches between noon and 10
o'clock tonight The first talk of the
day was delivered in a little room of
the hotel which he made his headquar
ters and was addressed to about 40
manufacturers, interested in the social
welfare of their employes. The second
address, delivered in the same room,
was on suffrage. One hundred women
heard him repeat his New York declara
tion that he wanted the question speed
ily settled by granting women the
vote through amendment to the Federal
constitution.
After luncheon the nominee went to
the ball game. He shook hands with
the members of the Detroit and Phila
delphia American League teams and
watched one inning of the game. Then
he motored away to two of Detroit's
big automobile factories and addressed
crowds at each on industrial co-operation.
Between speeches he helid many
short conferences with local political
leaders, shook hands with about 2000
persons and managed to find time for
two ehort naps. He left late tonight
for Chicago.
Alien Population Is Problem.
Mr. Hughes at the meeting at Arcadia
Hall spoke in part as follows:
"You have here the problem of the
sudden introduction of a large alien
population. You did not remain indif
ferent. You set an example in Amer
icanism to all America; and we point
to Detroit as the one place in this land
where there has been shown a quick
ening of interest in the development
and training and Americanizing of
alien men and women who have come
to this land.
"It is perfectly idle to expect a sound
sentiment of American unity among
those who come among us as stran
gers come, merely to be exploited.
When we admit to this country men
and women, we assume obligations with
respect to their training, as well as
-grant to them privileges; and we have
got in this country to be awake to
those obligations and to realize that
In every community there must be a
well-organized effort to make America
supreme in the thought of everyone
'who comes into the community; to have
the language understood and spoken;
to have American sentiment replace
foreign sentiment; to have American
ideals replace foreign ideals: to have
a realization that this is a country,
not simply giving an opportunity to
work for dollars, but a country that
Js devoted to the betterment of human
lire; to the enlightenment of the stand'
ards of human thought, to the liberal
ization of all those things connected
with human understanding and pur
pose; we want America first in the
mind and heart of everyone in this
land.
Country Is for Average Man.
"But America is not simply a land for
the man of special talent or of distm
guished aptitude. This is the home of
the average man, the ordinary man
who is doing his best, whether by tal
ent or aptitude; and in our large in
dustrial occupations, where thousands
are gathered together in one service,
we want a recognition of human broth
erhood in providing for the weltare of
those who make the wealth of this
great country.
"We want workingmen to be safe
guarded from every Injury that can be
prevented. We want the health of the
workingmen looked after; every means
provided which conduces to the proper
standpoint of living; every means pro
vided for proper recreation; appropriate
means for education, for vocational
training. In short, the workingman
who is In his job and expects to con
tinue in the job ought to feel that he
is doing something worth while for
rommunity that appreciates it and
gives him a fair chance to lead a happy
and a decent life.
Fast Has Been Too Easy.
"We have got along in this country
altogether too easily, with our wealth
of natural resources. Men have been
content, living apart in their separate
lives, to try to make something for
their Individual selves; but now
have reached a point where it is neces
sary, as it has been necessary abroad.
to try to reduce all waste, to try to
prevent all unnecessary outlay and to
trv to make business successful accord
ing to the merit of a well-organized,
economically conducted business.
"I want efficiency in the Government
of the United States. If a manager
were to be appointed in an automobile
factory would you appoint a man that
never "had seen an automobile? If you
want to run successfully a large busi
ness enterprise in production would
you appoint a man that never had
seen the works and didn't know any
thing about it, simply because he voted
the ticket that you vote? My'friends.
the world that we are about to live in
in the next 25 years is going to be a
very different world from what it has
been.
"Now, if you have a great adminis
trator appointed to a position of
extraordinary power, how will you
judge his efficiency in the conduct, of
the enormous business interests with
which he is entrusted? Judge him by
his words? I judge him by his ap
pointments. Efficient Men Turned Out.
T want to state a few things that
are not very pleasant things to state
to an American audience, but this is a
time when we are facing facts. We
have said frequently that we desired
to cultivate the most friendly relations
with Latin-America. What have we
done? In country after country we
have taken out men who have given
long periods successfully to the study
of diplomacy and have represented the
country with credit, and had acquired
an admirable and important experi
ence, W'e have taken them put and

ALICE. CARPENTER.

say it is inexcusable. Let me tell you
this country will never be worthily

among the nations if men are ap
pointed merely to iiatisfy partisan ob
ligations, and theie is no Ideal of
continuity of service in our diplomatic
intercourse.
"Past Administrations, I grant you.
had sinned in that particular, but stan
dards were being made and there were
men in our service of long experience
and fine training. It was just as
though you had taken the manager of
an automobile factory that had gotten
up to that place after many years or
application, who thoroughly knew his
Job. and rut him out and put in an
inexperienced man. simply as a matter
of personal favor.
Civil Service Laws Disregarded.
"We have had a serious disregard
of the spirit and requirements of our
civil service law. I a Democratic
community the hardest thing In the
world in a sense Is to get a general
appreciation of the importance of hav- i
lug lit men attend to the business or
the Government They understand it
in irivato business, but, between you
and me, in public business anything
OCi.
"The Republican platform says that
under the Democratic Administration
there have been created since March
4, 1913. over 30,000 places which have
been taken outside of the original op
eration of the civil service laws. Read
enactment after enactment, providing
in substance as follows:
" "That the agents, clerks and other
persons to be appointed under this law
shall not be appointed under the re
strictions of an act passed so and so.
at such a time, which means the act
establishing the classified civil service
period.'
It has been a raid upon the civil
service of the United States and the
American people ought to understand
it. And we have had positions, expert
positions, requiring expert knowledge,
which have been subordinated to the
demands of what I regard as an ignoble
partisan expediency.
"Take, for example, the Bureau of
the Census. There was Mr. Durand, an
expert statistician, a very competent
man, well understood to be such. We
have him retired and in his place we
have a Democratic politician from a
Southern state. And he is hardly warm
in his place before he is transferred to
the Trade Commission. The Trade
Commission itself was fairly emascu
lated by the men. for the most part,
who were appointed to places upon it.
"My friends, that sort of thing has
got to stop in this country if we are
going ahead to meet the demands that
are to come upon us.
"We had in the Coast and Geodetic
Survey an eminent scientist, a man
who had won distinction in connection
with his scientific work, a man of
eminent rank. He was displaced to
make room for an excellent stock
breeder and veterinary surgeon.
"In the Coast and Geodetic Survey
we have had an extraordinary con
dition with regard to expert places. I
mean places that were taken out of
the civil service laws. I shall not go
into the exact figures. In the year
ending about April, 1916, there were
removed from the operation of the
civil service laws places to the number,
I believe, of about 104. I believe that
some of those were made without seek
ing the advice of the Civil Service Com
mission. I believe, that about 22 were
made after seeking the advice and with
the approval of the Civil Service Com
mission, and I believe that 62 were
made In opposition to the advice of
the Civil Service Commission.
Record Must Be Clear.
"Now then, we want, in the first
place, to have our record perfectly
clear that we are going to insist that
Mexico shall treat our citizens properly,
and we are going to insist in a way
that will make us respected because we
are not going to say we are not en
titled to it, but we are going to see
that this is done which we are entitled
to have done. We are going to have
that platform understood. Protection
to American citizens, to the property
of American citizens, and to our border
from incursions, the . rights that we
have as one Nation" relatively to an
other nation at oux doors.
"Wre are .going to insist that those
obligations be performed which we. as
the United States, are going to have
performed: that we do not propose any
meddlesoma policy; that we do not
propose, while we wish well for every
one in Mexico, to do anything that is
contrary to their wishes, if they do
what we are entitled to have done.
Put that clearly before them, insist
upon that and we will make some prog.
ress toward having it aone at the earn
est opportunity; and our policy should
be to see that it is done and promptly.
"There is not a particle of militarism
in -my composition, but were is

sturdy determination if I am put in a
place of executive responsibility repre
senting all the American people, to see
to it and that is my purpose that
America's rights are safeguarded, and
that America's name In administration.
In policy and in execution Is honored
throughout the world."
Object Leuons Change Sentiment.
"1 used to think that if there was
one thing which the American public
was less Interested in than anything
else. It was the actual administration
of their Government. But I am begin
ning to believe that, with the oblect
lessons we have had abroad and with
the definite appreciation of the crisis
we are in, there is a different notion
in this country about those things. I
hold it Is the most unworthy thing an
Administration can do to take public
business and pay political debts with It.
"When I say I am an American citi
zen I ought to say the proudest thing
that any man san say In this world.
"You cannot have more pride, you
cannot have more love, if American
citizenship Is a cheap thing, if it is a
dishonored thing. If It is something
which is not worthy of protection this
wide world over.
'There is no one who could success
fully present to any American com
munity the platform that an American
citizen's rights stopped with the coast
line, and that the moment he left his
shores he was a prey to any person
that saw fit to murder or destroy him.
Citizen Has Right to Protection.
"If a man is an American citizen he
goes with his rights and the right to
proper protection of his country under
international law wherever he Jour
neys throughout the world. Now, that
is what the Democratic platform told
us in so many words In 1912. They
did not stop with Americans. They
did not stop with American citizens.
They said "American citizens and their
property."
"We have had an exhibition in th
last three years which I confess fills
me witn a deep sense of shams. I
would not counsel any action that was
contrary to the dictates of those usages
and customs and recognized rights and
obligations which we comprise under
the name of "international law.' It was
our business to stand for all the rights
of ' American citizenship under inter
national law to vindicate internation
al law.
"Take, for example, the case of Mex
ico. We had certain things that we
had a 'right to demand of Mexico; and
there was a proper way of demanding
them. We should have said that we in
sisted upon the protection of the lives
and property of American -citizens, of
just protection, such protection as we
are entitled to from a government that
periorms the functions of government.
w e could have said we would not
recognize Huerta if his government
coma not discharge those functions.
Mexican Affair Criticised.
"We had no business to recognise
him unless the executive was satisfied
he could discharge those functions. But
it was another thing to take an atti
tude quite apart from the protection of
American rignts and wage war upon
an individual and try to take control
of Mexican affairs in the interest of
wnica we think they shoulrf do.
"This is precisely what was done. We
did not content ourselves with not
recognizing Huerta. There is no ques
tion aoout recognizing or not recog.
nizing Huerta. That was a matter to
be determined according to proper Drin
ciples, according to the understanding
of the executive as to the capacity of
mat government, lr it was a govern
ment, to furnish adequate protection
ami discharge international obligations.
tsut our Administration said to Huerta:
"You get out. You can't even be a can
didate. We won't allow you to run for
office. We are so determined to get
rid of you that you can't put yourself
up to be voted for." And immediately
after recognition was withdrawn from
Huerta it was extended to that incom
parable, that ideal character. Villa.
International Attitude Abandoned.
"In my judgment the Administration
did a wrong thing in abandoning Its
proper international attitude and tak
ing the attitude that no international
lawyer could understand that no Mex
ican could understand.
"Well, the Mexicans did not under
stand our attitude; there was a fight:
19 Americans and a large number of
Mexicans were killed. And they, the
Administration, they kept us "out of
war." That was war, and very Ignoble
war.
"Having gotten rid of Huerta. what
next did we do? We said 'let these
Mexicans spill as much blood as they
want to, that is their blessed privilege.'
So we coquetted with Villa, with Car-

Human Factor Strong.
DETROIT. Aug. 1. Charles E.
Hughes. Republican nomine for Presi
dent, addressed 40 manufacturers, who
employ nearly 100,000 men, here today.
His address was impromptu, and fol
lowed a brief speech of welcome de
livered by J. W. Eaton, spokesman for
the manufacturers, who had suggested
that Mr. Hughes indorso a plan for tho
organization of a National Welfare As
sociation of Manufacturers. Mr. Hughes
said:
It is an awful mistake to think of
the mn through whose activity pro
duction Is possible as mere economic
units. They are human beings. We
are all working men in this country.
W nr. In H i fffrfn t ftnhftHR of activitv.
but we ought to have a sense of co
operation so that every man takes
pride in what he is doing and in doing
it .o the best of his ability because
he is working alongside of every other
ian for the good of the country.
Human Factor Dominant.
"In your welfare work you are but
tressing democracy. The human factor
is. after all. the important factor. You
may develop your physical plants, your
physical instrumentalities, distribution
and everything that goes to make up
the material side of prosperity, but you
are absolutely hopeless -without the.
human factor, and in America, the
land f free men, the man who is at
work for a living must feel that the
country is doing the right thing by
him. He is entitled to be safe In his
work to have every precaution taken
against every sort of accident that can
be prevented.
"A man Is put at work. How can
he refuse the Job which stands be
tween him and starvation? It is per.
fectly Idle to say. in our industrial con
ditions that he can take or refuse the
work, .according to his Idea of the
safety appliances which may be pro
vided to protect him. You have got
to protect him.
Americana Are Idealists.
"Ve are not materialists In this
country; we are all idealists, but the
one thing that appeals to the working-
man is the Idea that he is eqnal to
some Job in a first-class way. That Is
what makes him proud; that Is what
makes him satisfied, and when you
consider our great industrial manufac
ture and the enormous extension of
our Industrial markets, the hope arises
that In a'.l this there will be right
through It the spirit of human broth
erhood, of fellowship and of co-operation,
so that managers and working
mea will feel that they are engaged In
common cause.
"Wo will get through with this old
strife between labor and capital. De
mocracy cannot stand it. We are not
laborers and capitalists In this country.
We are fellow citizens.
That is what I stand for. and there
fore, because you enrich our citizen.
ship: because you build permanent the
foundations of our society, I greet you
and wish you the best success in your

JAPANESE ADMIRAL DEAD
Eamimnra Famous lor His Part in
Battles Witn Russians.
TOKIO, Aug. 8. Vice-Admlral Hiko-
nojo Kamimura. of the Japanese navy,
is aeaa.
Vice-Admlral Kamimura. who was 67
years old, was one of the most promi
nent officers in the Japanese navy. As
commander-in-chief of the second
squadron, he played an important part
in tne -ttusso-japanese war and Is be
lieved to have led the naval assault
with the British squadron against the
German base at Tsing-Tao, China, in
1914.
In August. 1906, the squadron of Ad
miral Kamiura defeated the Russian
warships Rurik, Groraboi and Rossla
off the east coast of Corea, sinking
the Rurlk and capturing the other
two, badly damaged. Prior to this.
Kamimura had been unpopular because
the Rurik. with which the Gromboi and
Rossia composed the Vladivostok squad
ron, had destroyed two transports
loaded with Japanese troops. His vic
tory redeemed his reputation vath the
masses in Japan and his reputation was
further enhanced later when his squad
ron took a leading part in the battle
of the Sea of Japan, when Russia's
naval power was destroyed.

of the new farm loan board, which Is
to administer the ' new rural credits
system, was perfected here today with
the induction into office of Its four
appointive members,- the designation by
President Wilson of an active head and
the selection of a secretary. The board
will meet again tomorrow to consider
how It may be best to obtain informa
tion on which to base us nrst impor
tant work, division of the country Into
12 land bank districts with a Federal
land bank In each."
President Wilson named ueorge w.
Norrls as farm loan commissioner, or
executive head of the board. The oaths
of office were administered In the of
fice of Secretary McAdoo, who Is ex
offlclo member and chairman. Mr. Mc-
Adoo made a brief speech, pointing out
that the farm loan act was the first
legislation to provide financial aid for
farmers on long time and easy terms
enacted since the foundation of the
government and declaring it meant
more prosperity for the farmer and
more In consequence for everybody else.
At a short session arterwara, w. .
Flannagan, of Montciair, is. j., was
chosen secretary of the board. Mr.
Flannagan has been secretary of the
Joint committee which Investigated
rural credits in Europe and drafted the
present law.
The board also discussed the itinerary
for its trip to the Pacific Coast and
went over the applications and recom
mendations of 40 cities for Federal loar
banks. No route for tne trip was de

held in Washington also, but no date
has been chosen for them.
