Sept. I. Charles B. Hughes, before an audience that filled the gTeat Convention Hall here to its capacity, tonight assailed the Admin istration for its policy toward San Domingo and Haiti, while it "professed inviolability of treaty rights and sov ereign rights of smaller states." "I yield to no one in respect to the sovereignty of states, great or small, for the inviolability of treaties, for rights under international law," he said, "but when we speak of the inviolability M small states and of their rights, what have we to say with respect to the course of the Administration in San Domingo and Haiti, where today armed rule exists by our marines on the soil of these states? "We want in this country, professions to match practice. We want deeds to match words and we want a sure policy which will protect the lives of Ameri can citizens." Programme Is Constructive. Mr. Hughes again declared for pro tection for American rights, American peace, American industry, and for "a businesslike administration of govern ment." He declared that his programme was "constructive, not destructive." "We are desirous to promote the suc cess of the National ticket," Mr. Hughes said, "but we also desire to have both the Senate and the House, in order that we may have an administration that will achieve results." Mr. Hughes spoke to an audience that packed the great convention hall. A sprinkling of Grand Army veterans was scattered over the floor. In open ing his speech, Mr. Hughes referred to the Civil War and the part taken by the veterans in preserving the union. "No one can tell me." Mr. Hughes said, "that we have lost the spirit of years ago. The same indomitable spirit is with us today and what we need is to harken to its call." America Is Facing: Test. America faces a test today, Mr. Hughes declared. "The test is." he said, "whether this Nation so preserved, shall achieve its highest Ideals, whether it shall go for ward or halt, whether it will be re sponsive to its ideals or will lose its tone and the spirit of its former life.'- Before hia address at the Convention Hall, Mr. Hughes was the dlnnvr ini.. of the Republican Club. At the dinner Were 60 Grand Army veterans who voted for Lincoln for President. Some of the veterans sat on the platform with the nominee at Convention Hall. Upon, his arrival here Mr. Hughes sent the following telegram to Theo- dore Roosevelt: "I heartily congratu late you on your speech at Lewlston and warmly appreciate your effective l support." " En route to the city, Mr. Hughes' received a telegram from Governor Johnson, of California, in reply to the . . congratulatory message sent by the nominee upon Mr. Johnson's success in the Senatorial primary fight in Cali- , ..fornia. Governor Johnson's message was as follows: "I was very glad to receive your telegram of congratula tion and I thank you for it." , Great Audience Entfcusiantlc. Mr. Hughes entered the hall 16 minutes late. The audience gave him a three-minute cheer. He was intro-"-duced by Walter S. Dickey. Republican nominee for the Senatorship. "' TOPEKA, Kan..Sept. 1. Charles K Hughes, speaking today at the Capitol : grounds to a crowd that stood through - a shower to listen, declared that the -- Protection for which he stood was more '". than protection in a commercial sense . ; and embraced protection of American rights tn land and sea, of National peace. of American industry and against inefficiency in Government. ' ''I stand for protection in a compre "4t hensive sense." Mr. Hughes said. "I use the word to embrace all that is needed to foster and promote American enterprise and to better our condi tions." The nominee said he placed first a "firm insistence upon all American rights on land and sea." American peace, he said, should be protected "by our being Influential to develop the instrumentalities of international con sideration." High Standard Demanded. This could not be done, he added, by a reduction in the standards of diplo matic intercourse, for which he assailed the present Administration. Unless American industry were protected by a protective tariff, Mr. Hughes said, "we shall be a sluggard in the inter national race." Safeguarding public institutions through administrative work. Mr. Hughes said, was "a hollow mockery" unless administration were efficient. "No corporation could afford to be run the way this Government is." the nominee said in speaking of his pro posed executive budget. "We should cut our coat according to our cloth." rharaea of Exinniuce Reiterated, Mr. Hughes repeated his charges that the present Administration had been more extravagant than any other in the history of the country. Half of the audience was women One thousand women, members of the Kansas Hughes Alliance, welcomed the nominee on his arrival at the grounds, SALINA, Kan.. Sept. 1. Charles E. Hughes today charged the present Ad ministration with being the most ex. travagant in the history of the United States. In a brief address from the rear platform of his car at Ellsworth the nominee said: "I understand from high authority that we shall have in present appro priations outside of preparedness and all increased appropriations for Army and Navy and fortifications outside of all those the appropriations will ex ceed by $150,000,000 the appropriations of any former Congress in . time of peace and exceed even the appropria tions we had in the Civil War."

While stopping at San Diego on the Western campaign tour, the Hughes party visited the exposition grounds. They were much taken by the children In the Indian village on the exposition grounds, and. as the photo shows, they were bounced up and down on the presidential candidate a lap. Triplet Calves Born.

MAYOR QUITS OFFICE Sebastian Resigns Seat Result of Charges. as ILL-HEALTH IS PLEADED Resignation Is Tendered to Direc tor of Merchants and Manufac turers Association, Which Conducted Inquiry. IX)S ANGELES. Sept 1. Special.) ' Charles E. Sebastian, the "Chinatown cop" Mayor of Los Angeles, has re signed abruptly. The Mayor's resigna tion will be considered tomorrow at 9 o'clock at a specially called meeting of the City Council, when it will be accepted and his successor will be con sidered. The Mayor's resignation. tendered under dramatic circumstances, came as the result of persistent charges against his moral character and general unfit ness for office preferred by the Los Angeles Record, and followed by only a little more than 24 hours the Mayor's action in causing the arrest of Dana Sleeth, managing editor of the Record, on a charge of criminal libel. This was based upon the publication Wednesday of three notes alleged to have been written by Sebastian to Mrs. Lillian Pratt, with whom Sebastian was jointly indicted more than a year ago on a statutory charge. Both were ac quitted after a trial lasting less than month. The Mayor's resignation is said to have been tendered to Fred L. Baker, president of the Baker Iron Works. personally, in the Mayors office late today. ' Mr. Baker is a director of the Merchants' and Manufacturers' Associ ation, an organization which lately has conducted an investigation into the public charges against Sebastian. At 11 o'clock tonight, after the city had been searchced for him, Sebastian was found at his home. When asked for a statement he declined to com ment on his action in resigning, further than to plead it was caused by ill health. He appeared in a highly ner vous condition and his eyes were blood shot. Sleeth was arraigned today on tha criminal libel charge and pleaded not guilty. His trial by a jury was set for October 18. Sleeth came to Los An geles from Portland. Or. already been accomplished by man. but a great many human elements remain uncontrolled. "War and politics are still beyond control." said Dr. Fikes, "and the man of tomorrow must be big and strong enough to subdue them. The difference between patriotism and politics must be overcome before the world govern ment can realize its true meaning. "The ward politician represents to me all that is corrupt and vicious in our government today. With their pol itics they will damn our government for private gain. They are putrid with the fumes of hell. Patriotism is gen erous self-abnegation for public good. Politics will sell us all for private spoils. Patriotism is the only antidote to the poison.

Mr. Lehmann was former solicitor general of the United States.
