CAMPAIGN TALKERS ARRANGE FDRTOURS The Most in Value TheBes tin Quality z Mr. Hughes Criticises Dis regard of Merit Cystem in Diplomatic Work. PEACE IS CANDIDATE'S AIM Republican Xominee Says America's Standing Bas Been Lessened One- Half .by Failure to Protect f Rights of . Its Citizens. RENO," N-ev.. Aug. 23. Charles Evans Hughes, in two speeches- hero late to day and tonight, again attacked the Administration for its Mexican policy, 'repeated hi conviction that a pro tective tariff was essential to a con tinuance of prosperity, and reiterated his declaration for a Federal liability law to cover accidents to persons in industries engaged in interstate com merce. Mr. Hughes also declared that if he were elected he would endeavor to carry out his policies without favor to anyone. "Ko one can hold executive office properly who is not ready to be de feated," he said. "It is a very neces sary thing at all times to take your political life in your hands and to be willing to do as you think you ought to do. regardless of the political con sequences." Prestige Cut In Twain. Mr. Hughes said that the prestige of the United States has been cut prac tically in half as a result of its deal ings with Mexico. The nominee reiter ated his previous declaration for an adequate protective tariff and again took the Administration to task for re tiring trained men from diplomatic service "to make room for men with out any special qualifications other than party loyalty." Mr Hughes said he deplored the fact 'that the present Administration has "to such a large degree disre garded and violated the principles of our merit system." Peace With Honor Possible. "We can have peace without trouble In this country," said the nominee in discussing the Mexican situation. "Only inexcusable blundering could get us into war. We don't want anything: we have got all we need; we are not aggressive; we are not seeking trouble; we are not trying to exploit anybody. We simply want to go ahead in our peaceful pursuit of our ideals and have prosperity. "But that does not mean that our rights are to be Ignored, that we are to be lacking in the protection of thos rights that are known to pertain to American citizens. Prestige Suffers by Policy. "Our conduct in Mexico in failing to protect the rights or our citizens down thete cut down our international pres tige. I should say, practically one half. It is a very serious thing for a nation to be known as willing to forego those priaiary obligations cf maintain ing the rights of its citizens which every nation has." Mr. Hughes said that in other nation's diplomacy is a great profession that men enter the lower grades and are promoted until they reach the highest opportunities of diplomatic agency. Diplomatic Policy Criticised. , We are making a . fine start In this way," he continued. "We had a num ber of men who had' started in at the lower ranks, men who had gone through several grades, starting in as attaches or secretaries, appointed to this place or that place, obtaining a rplendid repute, a very important knowledge and training. And it has been lamentable to see under this Ad ministration man after man of this description taken from the service, taken right out after years of devotion to the service and retired only to make room for men without any special qualifications other than party loyalty. "That was done conspicuously in Latin-America, despite our profession of a desire to cultivate the closest rela tion with Latin-America, the import ance of which is obvious. How Is the great United States, the exemplar of Republican institutions, to stand be fore our sister republics in this hemi sphere if we can play politics with the agencies of diplomatic intercourse and if ail to honor training and experience? Mr. Hubel Makes Pledge. "That sort of tl ing won't do It you put me in office I pledge you that we shall see to it that we are represented by men who will commend themselves to the countries where they serve, and raise the standard of our diplomacy." Mr. Hughes again gave bis reasons tor favoring a protective tariff, and then said: "Our friends still insist that we shall not foster industry by the tariff. Why, if m proceeded to their theory, what would become of the industries of the state of Nevada? What would become of the protection necessary for the en terprises of California? The whole section of the country needs the foster ing care of Government, not that we should have private persons secure an unfair advantage at the public ex pense, but we should have fairly ap plied a principle which makes and dif fuses all over the country a condition where wages are higher and standards of living are higher than those in any other part of the world." Mr. Hughes held a night meeting in the Majestic Theater. He left this city for Ogden, Utah, at 9 o'clock. Pica Made for Protected Labor. Speaking of improving conditions of labor, Mr. Hughes said: "I do not consider this a mere senti mental procedure. That is bound up with our prosperity. We cannot have a great United States unless in the main It is .a contented country filled with men working peaceably and shar ing fairly in the fruits of their labor, protected by sarety appliances, having sanitary conditions of labor, having reasonable hours and Just compensa tion. "Contented America will be success ful America: discontented America will be unsuccessful America. "I am glad to observe that in these days there is a disposition on the part of many of our most, important em ployers of labor to realize the human demands, the necessary demands of those engaged in productive work. I never like to think of that sort of thing as a complacent recognition, as eometmng nanoed down from above. I like to think of manager and man, of those in charge and of those at work of varied related activity, as sharers in a common undertaking realizing eacn tne importance of the others' work and all working together to pro duce that which is essential to the prosperity and happiness of all. We have got to have that sort of a spirit in America ir we are to realize the greatnese of this country in the com lng years. Liability Lairs Needed. "We have in the Federal field a -very ' Important sphere of action, under the Constitution of the United States, the ' power to regulate Interstate commerce, This power was given in broad terms. :4 II'- - - -N.-- - i Junius Speneer Morgan, Son ot J. Plerpont Morgan, Standing In Line on Deck of IT. S. S. Maine. NEW TORK, Aug. 21. Toung Mr. Morgan is one of the several prominent men aboard the three battleships which sailed from the Brooklyn Navy-Yard on a cruise for citizen tars. Mr. Morgan's name is stenciled on his blouse. happily without attempt at definition. The power has been exercised very freely. "I like to speak of the opportunities that still exist for improvement in these difficulties, for example: The Federal employers liability act was an advance, but it still leaves to the haz ard of trial by jury and not proof of negligence, a great host of cases where injuries have been sustained in a haz ardous employment. ' I like to think that in the future we shall have not eimply what the present bill in Congress provides, a provision for compensation in connec tion with employment by the Govern ment, but a fair and proper scheme of compensation for employes engaged in hazardous occupations in connection with interstate commerce; and, there fore, subject to the regulating power of Congress. World Court Advocated. "We need as much uniformity as possible. We need to have in the use of our Federal powers a wise over sight, to the end that we can gather up what would otherwise be local and varied and perhaps clashing and in convenient -to have it gathered up in a uniform system by the wise and con stitutional use of Federal power. I thoroughly believe in that; and I de sire to see that power prudently exer cised for the benefit of human living and the working people in this coun try." Mr. Hughes also reiterated his dec laration that after the war ends a world-court should be established to sette controversies among the na tions. "What we need to preserve the peace of the world." he said, "Is Inter national legislation or what corre sponds to international legislation." STRAND BILL BEST YET FTJ3T CHARACTERIZES MOST OB" MANY GOOD ACTS. Ray Lawrence, Dressed In Modish 1 Gowns, Fools Audience Completely and Laughs at Mistake. The best bill of the Summer opened yesterday at the Strand Theater. Four rattling good acts and a big Blue Bird production make it an Al offering. "Archie Hits the Hay" is a refreshing comedy headline act by Archie and Clara Kamp, a pair of well-known funmakers. "Hitting the hay," after an Axcitlnar nis-htL that hasn't left Archie sober, proves funny. Cara Kamp comes in for her share of the merri ment and) the audiences yesterday were appreciative. The setting is green Summer a scene of early morning, ana the lines are keen and well chosen. Ray Lawrence fools the audience. They all think he's a stunning girl, with his dashing gowns and fads and fashions. He casts off his dlsquise at the close of the act and becomes a handsome baritone singer. Esther Sundqulst, a talented Fort land girl, is a popular attraction with her violin. Miss Sundqulst is young, pretty and plays with unusual skill and feeling. She is one of the best liked on the MIL Three merry singers are Gordon, Moesman and Vance, an attractive girl and two men. Popular airs and classy singing and dancing acts are their of fering. With a beautiful setting In the Si erra Nevadas and an able cast. The Girl of Lost Lake" is a lovely film. Myrtle Gonzales plays the girl of the mountains and the usual all-star cast supports her, in the story of a moun tain maid who finds romance even in the Western wilderness.

"ENEMY" NOT SIGHTED YET Xavy Department Taxes Resources to Fill Tp Hypothetical Gap In Nation's Defense, Caused by "Force In Civilian Garb. WASHINGTON. Aug. 23. The Navy Department was taxing its resources tonight to fill .up the first hypothet ical gap in the country's defense, which has developed in the naval war game in progress off the Atlantio Coast. Theoretically, a mob of ununiforroed men today overpowered the naval guard at the piers at Seawall "Point, on Hamp ton Hoards, destroyed great stores of coal and supplies collected there for possible use by the "Blue" defending fleet, and burned the piers. To add to the realism of the game, Rear-Admiral Benson, chlefof opera tions, formally communicated the hy pothetical disaster at Seawall Point to Paymaster-General McGowan, whose duty it would be in war to cope with the situation there. The paymaster general immediately set his forces to work to locate new stores of coal and supplies, and to find means for send ing them to some point on the roads at the earliest possible moment. The problem requires that actual supplies be found, and the possibility of getting them forward promptly be figured out in order to test the machinery of the Department. While naval forces ashore were deal ing with this angle of the game. Rear Admiral Helm still was sweeping the seas with his scouts in a southeasterly direction from Narragansett. the base from which he sailed yesterday morn ing, in an effort to repel Admiral Mayo's "Red" fleet. Presumably the "Blue" scouts were within 300 miles ot the enemy's last known position at daylight, but no report that "Red" battlecraft had been sighted reached the Department up to a late hour. Officers here said Admiral Mayo probably has changed course and is endeavoring to slip around the end of the 600-mile line of scouts with his 15 battleships and 80 transports. If he can reach a point between Cape Hat teras and East Port, Maine, without having been sighted, he will be able to employ his fleet to hold off the "Blue" squadrons while a landing is effected.
