FULL PATRIOTISM URGED
WORDS
Nominee Says World Has Found It-:
self and That New Spirit Will
Demand Klficient Govern
. nient for Everyone.
SPOKANE. Wash.. Aug. 14. (Spe
cial.) In two words Governor Hushes
won the hearts of his Auditorium The
ater audience of women 3000 inside
and the doors jammed with 1000 more
who had waited patiently an hour
before his arrival late this afternoon.
"Fellow citizens.'" he said, and the
phrase was the signal for a polite
pandemonium of laughter and applause
that allowed him to go no further.
They had sung the National anthem as
he entered, and Miss Jeanette Donald
son had introduced him with a few
words of appreciation.
Meeting; of Women Impressive.
Governor Hughes swung straight
into his subject. He said:
"Fellow citizens: This is the most
interesting political meeting I ever ad
dressed. I am accustomed to surprises.
but this meeting is a grateful surprise.
It impresses me profoundly with the
truth of that which I said a few days
auo in New York, that it Is perfectly
idle to suppose that the right to vote
will be denied the women of this coun
try. "As I have contemplated American
affairs, sitting aloof from actual par
ticipation in them. I have reached the
conclusion that suffrage for women
was inevitable in this growing and de
veloping republic of the nineteenth
century.
Vote for Women StronRly Favored.
"1 was deeply gratified to find that
the right of women to vote was rec
ognized by the Republican platform.
That platform did not say anything
with respect to the proposed Federal
amendment. In my address in answer
to the notification of my nomination
1 confined myself to a statement with
respect to the right, apart from the
particular method of obtaining it.
"It seems to me that if one contem
plates economic conditions in this coun
try, the presence of women in gain
ful occupations, the opportunities, con
stantly widening, the growing nature
of the demand of woman for recogni
tion in her right to participate as a
member of the electorate in the Gov
ernment of her country, it seems to
me that no one can suppose that per
manently the movement which ob
tained such headway could be resisted.
Kruitleaai Opposition Decried.
"It also seemed to me that it was
the part of wisdom in this country not
to make necessary a continuous agita
tion by a fruitless opposition.
"I desire that that question, which
was a fundamental one with respect
to the composition of the electorate,
eliould be settled at an early date.
"Women as citizens should come into
the discussion of political questions
as citizens, not from a. sex standpoint,
and I hope the day will not be long
deferred when the agitation for the
right to vote in any part of this land
will be unnecessary, and the right will
be recognized throughout the country.
Feeling that the people were entitled
to know mv position, my personal
position, with respect to the proposed
Federal amendment. I took early oc
casion to state it.
Views Not to Be Concealed.
"I did not see how it was possible.
although the matter was not mentioned
in the platform, to go througn a po
litical campaign with my views upon
that question concealed. I had no de
sire to conceal them: I had long en
tertained them. 1 think the question
is one which should be settled for the
entire country and settled as speedily
as possible, and therefore, while I do
not propose to attempt to add. and
cannot add. to the platform of my
party. I stated my personal convictions
that the amendment should be substi
tuted and ratified. v
"I speak to you as I do to men. I
did not came here to make a different
kind of speech trom the kind I make
tn men. I kn-jw you are solicitous
about the welfare of this country.
There is no doubt that the heart of
woman is patriotically thorough.
"We must have in this country a
different notion about conduct of our
business than we have had in the
years grne by." lie said. "This world
is not the world of even 25 years ago.
This world is a world that has found
itself. It has found ttself in the de
pression of a terrible Gethsemane. Hor
rible as is the spectacle of war. fright
f it as the wast?, wo cannot look upon
them without realizing that a new
Kurope is emerging from this struggle.
We cannot contemplate the conditions
of .he twentieth century without know
ing that there is to be a new spirit
in the United States if our prosperity
is to hae h firm foundation. It must
be a spirit which demands efficient
impartial government in the interests
of all the peopl".
"It is easy for some to become en
thusiastic when the bands are playing
and the flags unfurled, when they hear
the strains of the National anthem and
the crowds are around them. But we
must have a new spirit of enthusiasm
in the humdrum work of administra
tion, the spirit of patriotism in the ad
ministration of government. That
the hardest lesson for popular govern
ment to learn. Every day in the year
Is a more severe test of patriotism than
trie b oitrtn or July.
Mr. Hughes declared that he consid
ered a protective tariff essential to i
continuance of prosperity.
"The only chance that the present
Administration has to carry this elec
tion." he said, "is because the European
war has saved it from a demonstration
of its inefficiency.
The nominee repeated his assertion
that the Oemocratie party had ascribed
to itself benefits accruing from the
war.
"I wonder if they think that the
lniocratic party and the European war
are synonymous." he said. He spoke
of conditions here after the war.
"Then where will the Underwood tar
iff leave us?" lie asked. "Then, what
will become of the prosperity which is
so clearly a boast at present?"
Coeur d'Alene Applauds Nominee.
Prefacing his speech in Coeur d'Alene.
Idaho, at noon with a sentence or two
of praise for the Northwest. Governor
Hughes opened an aggressive attack
on the Administration.
Mr. Hughes walked up and down the
platform in the center of a- crowd that
surrounded it. with short, determined
steps. punctuating his speech with
hammering strokes of his right hand as
he warmed to the subject.
"You have tried the new freedom,"
he said, with his hand outstretched.
"and if this Administration can be
saved it is done only by the European
war and a deceived electorate."
He leaned forward over the crowd.
which applauded the sentiment, and

hammered the point home. Swinging
back on the tariff argument, with the
index finger of his right hand and arm
extended, he declared emphatically:
With this trouble in Europe wo now
are not involved, but when it is con
cluded there will follow a terrific
economic struggle when Europe tries
to draw on our gold in exchange for its
product."
Spokane Reception Enthusiastic.
Twenty thousand citizens of Spokane
applauded, cheered and waved hats and
handkerchiefs when Mr. Hughes" auto
mobile passed through Spokane s busi
ness section at 9:30 this morning.
To the sound of "Three cheers for
Hughes the next President!" New
York's favorite son entered his auto
mobile in front of the hotel at 9:20 to
head the parade.
The crowd that clustered around his
car and choked tne notel eniryway
cheered enthusiastically, and the band
struck up a stirring patriotic march as
the car carrying Mr. and Mrs. Hughes
swung up Sprague avenue.
Seated In the Hughes car were sen
ator Miles Poindexter, fa. A. Perkins.
Charles Hebbard and a special officer,
in addition to Governor and Mrs.
Hughes. The line of march was a sea
of faces. Governor Hughes rode with
his hat off, and almost every yard of
the line of march he acknowledged by
bow and smile the ovation accorded
him.
Floral tributes were handed to him
by little girls at several points along
the line and the nominee acknowledged
each tribute with a broad smile and
a hasty hand clasp.
Mrs. Hughes, who was seated beside
her husband and County Chairman
Charles Hebbard in the rear seat of
the automobile, also came in for her
share of applause and shared with her
husband in receiving floral tributes."
"Mr. Hughes was delighted with
Spokane's reception." stated Chair
man Hebbard. following the parade.
"He continually remarked on the en
thusiasm of the throngs along the line
of march and the wonderful reception
that he has received generally in the
West."
HUGI1KS INVITATION IS ASKED
Washington Progressives Say Sena
tor Poindexter Is Ignored.
TACOMA. Wash.. Aug. 14. (Special.)
Nine former Progressive party mem
bers, who announce they are support
ing the Republican ticket this Fall,
joined in a telegram today to Presiden
tial Candidate Hughes, saying that
Senator Poindexter apparently had
been "ignored," and asked him to in
vite the Senator to join his party in
his tour of the state of Washington.
The message was sent by H. G. Row
land, who said tonight that no reply
had been received.
The message was as follows:
- "Tacoma, Wash, Aug. 14., 1916. Hon.
Charles K. Hughes. Spokane. Wash.
We. the undersigned Republicans, be
lieve an invitation extended to United
States Senator Poindexter to accom
pany you through the state of Wash
ington will greatly strengthen the Re
publican National ticket.
"The Republican National committee
man extended invitations to other
members of the Washington Congres
sional delegation to be with you. and
has apparently ignored Poindexter.
"This gives serious offense to the
Washington Progressives who are sup
porting the Republican ticket.

KLAMATH FALLS. Or, Aug. 14.
(Special.) Ralph Salisch. of this city,
was arrested last week charged with
the theft of a promissory note for 231
belonging to Jesse H. McCall. of Bo
nanza. When taken before Justice of
the Peace H W. Gowen his bonds were
fixed at $250. Being unable to give
that amount of bail, he was committed
to the county jail. Salisch. it is charged,
after stealing the note, which was one
given to McFall by Dick Brown, sold
it for half its face value.

would come the cost of living. They
proceeded to reduce the tariff, but
they did not reduce the cost of living.
What they did was to reduco the op
portunities to make a living. They did
that right effectively.
The nominee reviewed conditions of
unemployment in the country soon
after the outbreak of the European war.
"Had there been a taking of stock
at that time." he said, "had the Amer
ican people been able to voice Its con
demnation, there would not have been
much left of the Democratic party, for
the people understood what had hap
pened to the American commonwealth
and why."
Mr. Hughes referred to the fact that
exports are higher today than ever
before.
"I am told that in zinc alone exports
Jumped in a year 300 per cent." he
said. "Exports of mules jumped 2500
per cent in one year. Perhaps that was
due to the Democratic party.
"Why. it is an insult to the intelli-"
gence of the American people to charge
that, or to credit that, abnormal, arti
ficial prosperity produced by the hor
rible war abroad to the policies of the
Democratic party."
Mr. Hughes also assailed the Admin
istration for what he termed its lack
of preparedness to meet the situation
on the Mexican border, charged that
the ' Administration had changed its
mind over night on the preparedness
issue, when "a great leader went
through the country" telling the need
of preparedness, and reiterated that he
stood for "an adequate reasonable
measure" of preparedness.
The nominee left here tonight at
9:45 for Tacoma, where he will speak
tomorrow.

II. (Special.) The tip was straight.
This was. payday.
mat slogan, "Oregon first." was
again in evidence today. Troon A is
the first and only Federalized National
t.uard unit now doing duty on this part
of the Mexican border to. receive their
pay. Just when the Army paymaster
will visit the Third Battalion is still
a matter of conjecture. It took more
than $2000 to pay the officers and men.
There Is Joy abroad in camp tonight.
While the Army paymaster was busy
paying out the SL'OOO. Lieutenant Wack
row, who has charge of the mess and
the canteen, was as busy as a "cran
berry merchant." The troops were lined
back of the mess tent, and as Captain
White called each trooper's name, he
stepped forward, smiled broadly, feath
ered in his pay, saluted again, and then
passed iown between the mess tables
to where Lieutenant Wackrow was
seated collecting the canteen toll. When
the last trooper had passed down this
line the canteen was richer by $700.
Payday was not the only thing ihat
happened today. The mall brought to
Captain White Information that all of
the equipment that the troop has been
without will be delivered at once. This
includes the large number of supplies,
such as clothing and bedding, that will
be needed at the new sector, and also
new rifles and pistols. When the rifles
and pistols arrive every member of the
troop, in addition to having a new
rifle, will have tho regulation army
automatic pistol.
Never since the troop has been in
camp here has It been fully equipped.
It has been rather a muddle to unravel
the many yards of red tape necessary to
net things In the Army, and many
things with which the camp has been
supplied have been gotten because of
Captain White's knowledge of Just bow
to reach out and grab the first bit of
fluttering red tape that put in appear
ance. Captain White today instructed every
member of the troop that tomorrow
morning the troop would take a two
day march, going to Imperial Beach.
This will necessitate each trooper tak
ing his full field equipment.
