THE MORNING OREGON! AN, TUESDAY , AUGUST 22, 1916. a HEW EUROPE WILL NEED NEW AMERICA Mr. Hughes; Emphasizes Ne cessity for Preparing for 4 Conditions After War. NATIONAL UNITY REQUIRED Question, Says Nominee, Is Xot for Year or Pay, but for Long Pe riod Ahead Path of Success . Held Through Co-operation. LOS ANGELES, Aug. 21. Charles E. Hughes, Republican nominee for Pres , dent, delivered two addresses here to night, the first to an overflow crowd that stretches! from curb to curb for a distance of a block, and the second to a great audience in the Shriners' Auditorium. Inside the auditorium, the nominee faced an audience of which one-half was women. Half of the 500 members of the reception com mittee, seated on the platform, it was officially announced, were Progress ives; the other Republicans. The raft ers and balconies were hidden by a wealth of flags ami bunting. Russ Avery, a former Progressive, Introduced the chairman of the meet ing, Stoddard Jess, banker, and Re publican leader of this city. Mr. Jess read his introduction of Mr. Hughes to the audience. In opening his address the nominee paid he "had barely survived the in tensity of the pleasure" of seeing as much of California ae possible in so short a time. In closing, he claimed the support of "all Republicans and all Progressives" in his campaign. Crucial Period Dawning- In his address inside the Auditorium Mr.- Hughes said, in part: "This is not an ordinary campaign. We are to determine in a crucial pe riod whether we shall halt or advance; whether we shall have fostering, en nobling, encouraging policies , or whether we shall enter, wavering, half hearted and uncertaintly upon the ex perience which we are sure to meet when the European war is over. "I shrink from the contemplation of the horrors of that war. I am devoted to the ideals of peace, and I look with the deepest sense of dismay at the conflict abroad, that a continent should be plunged into war. But at worst we know that the nations at war have not gone mad; that they are prose cuting their policies, and that each nation thinks it has had to take the position it has taken. ."There will emerge from that war a new Europe, which must be met by a new America. We cannot meet the exigencies which are before us unless we have a patriotic consciousness both of our power and of our unity. "I desire to see throughout this great land a dominant sense of National unity rising above all differences of race and creed, and inspiring us to a co-operation with the single desire to build up and maintain the honor and the pros- perity of the United States." Mr. Hughes spoke of the commercial conditions which he thought would pre vail after the war. "Then let the United States be warned," he said.' "Then let the United States take count of its resources, its talents, its strength, its capacity for co-operation, its self-knowledge. Then let the United States arise, and in this commercial rivalry prove itself big and strong enough, with a sense of fellowship deep enough, to hold its own worthily among the nations as an exponent 6t power and efficiency under popular government. Foundations Most Be Laid. "Let us lay the foundations broad and deep. This is not the question of a day. This is not the question of a tew. years. Wo must plan for a long period ahead.. "Our National conditions, or, rather, our conditions of National greatness, must be looked at in connection with the betterment of human life, for with out that, under free government, with discontent and the failure to maintain proper standards for human living, there is no possibility of permanent National greatness. We shall succeed as a great fellowship or we shall not succeed at all. "The vision that some may have of little citadels acquired for individual success for which the rest of the com munity may be held up and be com pelled to pay tribute, is a vision of America, of a man without vision, and for. whom there is no hope in Amer ica. The path of American success is the path of co-operation, of conscious co-operation. "We do not exist to make statistics of production, simply to have the ex tent of our territory or the vastness of our population displayed before the world. Human Rights Paramount. "T should protect human life, human safety, human comfort, and I regard human rights as paramount to every thing else, because this is a country of human beings, dedicated to the ideal of human betterment and human pros perity. "I should protect women, I should protect children. If we take a look ahead, wo cannot afford to trifle with the future of the race. Anyone who would exploit women or children in Industry by unreasonable hours, in the last analysis Is the enemy of the, pro ductive capacity of this country. The country cannot stand that sort of thing. "We are seriously threatened by the tariff bill passed by our opponents. I read the other night something that was said by an eminent member of the great opposing party, and he put at the head of the list of so-called achieve ments the Democratic tariff. Why, the Democratic tariff would haveruined us if it had not been for the European war. "If we are going to have, when this war ceases, a condition which will per mit the extension of American indus try and keep our factories going, give room for our surplus for that is very necessary and extend our trade, we have got to make reasonable and wise tariff legislation so that here in Cali fornia and everywhere through the country where there is a legitimate Interest needing protection it shall have it and not be denied." Mr. Hughes left at 10:15 for Sacra mento, where he will speak tomorrow night. He also expects to deliver sev eral brief rear-platform addresses en ; route. FORESIGHT PRIME ESSENTIA!. Need of Industrial Co-operation Em phasized at San Diego. SAN DIEGO, Aug. 21. Charles E. Hughes, addressing an audience on the Exposition grounds here today, out lined his views on the protective tar iff, dominant Americanism. National unity and preparednecs. ' Mr. Hughes cited the removal of the tariff on sugar by the Underwood act. as an illustration of a policy to which he was opposed. "Why should there have been an at tempt to cripple and destroy the sugar industry in this- country?" he said. "Was there any reason for it? Was there any statesmanship in it? Was it called for by the country? No. "Our friends discovered their mis take after a while, but we desire to be represented by those who have fore- sigbt and not simply hindsight. "America must be sound and honest in its public life, but it must bo busi nesslike, it must be direct it must be patriotic, with America first and America efficient. "My friends of California, do not misunderstand me. There is not going to be any private grip on any public privilege for any corporate interest or combination of Interests at . the ex pense of the interests of the -people of the United States if r can prevent it.' Mr. Hughes spoke of the need of "industrial co-operation." "The man who looks upon his labor ers simply as mere economic units has not caught the vision of the 20th century," he said. "What we need in this country is not demagogery, nor standpatism, but tire sense of deep de sire to benefit our fellow man by working together to that end, accord ing to the spirit of our institutions. "We do not wish to wait," Mr. Hughes continued, "until an important industry is crippled and in danger of destruction. The good people of Louisi ana protested In vain. They presented facts, only to be disregarded. "Now I protest against any action aimed at the crippling of American enterprises. Why should American In dustries go out of business? In or der that we nay buy goods abroad? That is not sound American policy." The nominee declared he favored "the protection of the generations of the future." "I believe In preventing children from being drawn too early Into the hardships of Industrial life." ho said. ROBBER, VMS, JAILED KLAMATH FALLS NEGRO CHARGED WITH HOLDING TJP GAMBLERS.

Savins Accomplished by Elimination of Articles That Cannot Be Par chased In Competition. WASHINGTON. Aug. 21. Despite the fact that the cost of living has gone up approximately 10 per cent since the outbreak of the European war, the cost of subsistence in the Navy has de creased three-quarters of a cent a man this year as compared with the fiscal year of 1914. A report handed to Sec retary Daniels today by Paymaster General McGowan says that a net sav ing of about $100,000 is indicated com pared with the 1914 figure, or a saving of close to half a million dollars if the 10 per cent Increase In the cost of food supplies is taken into consideration. The reduction has been effected, the report says, by the elimination of pro prietary articles, food substitutes and other supplies which could not be pur chased in competition. "The fact that the men are better fed today than ever, even at the reduced cost," says the Paymaster-General, "is fully attested by reports from all sources."

CAUCUS DECISION DEFIED Revenue Bill May Be Displaced, In AVliicb. Event Adjournment of Congress Will Be Postponed to Indefinite Date. WASHINGTON, Aug. 21. An unex pected Democratic revolt in the Sen ate today resulted in taking up the Immigration bill in defiance of the Democratic caucus and opened the way for efforts to displace the revenue bill as unfinished business, an action which might prolong the session of Congress Indefinitely. Ten Democratic Senators voted with the solid Republican minority to take up the immigration bill, on a motion by Senator Smith, of South Carolina, chairman of the immigration commit tee. They were: Ashurst, Beckham. Chamberlain, Culberson, Hardwick. Lane. Myers. Overman. Smith, of South Carolina, and Vardaman. Debate began on the measure im mediately and proceeded until 2 o'clock, when the revenue bill automatically came up before the Senate. Senator Smith then moved to displace the reve nue bill, provoking an all-afternoon discussion, which will be resumed when the Senate meets tomorrow. All Calculation May Bo Upset. Administration leaders said tonight they had enough votes to defeat the Smith motion. Even some of the re volting Democrats have declared their intention of voting against it. Should It prevail, the resulting fight over the literacy test provision would upset all adjournment calculations. Senator Stone, chairman of the for eign relations committee, was partic ularly aggrieved over the action of the revolters. He charged them with treachery to the party in overturning the decision of the Democratic caucus to postpone action on the immigration bill until December. "It turns over to the Republican mi nority the control of legislation," said Senator Stone. "I, for one. would rather bo in the position of standing with the Demo crats who remained faithful to the party action than to cross the aisle and join hands with the Republican minority." Democratic Ire Aroused. Senator Stone's words aroused the ire of Senators Hardwick and Smith, of South Carolina. "T promised my constituents that I would do all in my power to secure the passage of the immigration bill," said Senator Hardwick, "and I propose to stand by that promise. My constit uency is greater than the Democratic caucus." Senator Smith Insisted that the im migration bill never had been a parti san issue. "In view of some of the revelations that have come in this country since the beginning of the war," he said, "I should think even the? opponents of the immigration bill would bo con verted. We should shut our doors un til wo can Americanize the crowd we now have, so that men on this floor might fight for the American flag without fearing half-baked foreigners whose allegiance. In their hearts, is to another country." Revenue Bill Shut Off. Today's development shut off debate to tho revenue bill, but the adminis tration leaders hope to get it under way tomorrow. Senator Simmons announced tonight. In answer to a flood of telegrams from insurance companies, that a clerical error had been made in tho bill as reported to. the Senate from tho fi nance committee. In the section re lating to reductions from tho corpora tion income "tax there was inadver tently omitted the provision "that In the case of insurance companies the net addition, if any, required by - law to be made within tho year to reserve funds and the sums other than divi dends paid within the year on policy and annuity contracts, should be exempt.
