FLATTSBURG. N. T., Sept. 12. Charles E. Hughes, in the last speech of his first Presidential campaign trip, asserted here tonight before a crowd that filled the opera-house that the result In Maine had proved the Repub lican party was reunited. He declared the party would not "change its plans or aims." Persons in the audience took the reference to apply to criticisms of the methods pursued in conducting the present campaign and applauded the nominee vigorously. "I come to you," Mr. Hughes said, "as the spokesman of a reunited Republi can party. We nave said it was re united, we have devoutly hoped it was reunited. Now Maine proves that it is reunited. Whoever was skeptical about that before must hide his cynicism now. We shall abandon no efforts. We shall not change our plans or aims, but we shall go forward with renewed con fidence, because the old state in the northeast corner has spoken in no un certain way." Wilson Administration Criticised. He assailed the Wilson Administra tion for failure to reduce the cost of living, for extravagance, for failure to protect American lives and rights abroad and for failure "to live up to its promise to observe the merit sys tem." The nominee emphasized previ ous declarations that the campaign was a "good-natured" one. "It is time for assessment, for ap praisal and for candid statement," he said. "No one in this country can ob ject to full and fair discussion. That is the very spirit of our institutions. "I do not desire, in speaking of those who do not agree with me, to manifest the slightest disrespect. If the argu ment is sound it will carry without any suggestion of personal enmity. We do not need that in our campaigns. What we need is fairness and truth and then let the electorate decide. "Our friends on the other side said that the Republican party was re sponsible for the high cost of living. They have been in power for some time and I do not see that the high cost of living has been reduced. It waS said they would dispose of many use less offices. The abolition of useless offices has not been quite so apparent as the appointment of useless officers." Training Camp. Earlier in the day the nominee vis ited the military training camp here. remaining for dinner with Major-Gener al Leonard Wood. .Tonight Mr. Hughes praised the camp In his speech. It is a training school in democracy. he said. "It is a discipline that knits men together in wholesome comrade ship. It is preparedness, not only military, but civil and moral. "That is the spirit we must have in this country if America is to go for ward, if America indeed is to hold her place-among the nations in the trou blous days of the 20th century. "I desire to see these camps main tained in various parts of our land, and men in constantly increasing numbers seeking the benefit of the training and discipline. I believe, that our citizen reserve should be trained under Federal authority. I think it was a great mis take to abandon the plan that was first formulated with that end in view." Mr. Hughes left Plattsburg-for New York tonight. He will remain there until tomorrow afternoon, when he will go to his Summer home at Bridgehamp ton, L. I., Uiere to remain until Sep tember 17 or 18, when he starts his second campaign trip. Mil. HAWLEt IS SURPRISED Clean Sweep in Maine Even Greater Victory Than Was Expected. CHICAGO. Sept 12. (Special.) Rep resentative Hawley. of Oregon, on bis way from Washington, stopped in Chi cago today and conferred with offi cials irf charge of Western headquar ters of the Republican National com mittee. Mr. Hawley expressed great elation" over the result of the Maine election, saying that the Republican victoy was more -than he and the campaign managers had expected, in that it had been virtually conceded the Democrats would elect one Senator and one Representative. The clean sweep, considering the fact that the fight was made almost exclusively on National issues, he thinks, augurs well for the Republican party and still be lieves in the old saying that "as goes Maine, so goes the country. Mr. Hawley, while here, urged the National committee to send several good speakers to Oregon this Fall. The committee has already arranged to send Senator Jones, of Washington; Senator Norris, of Nebraska, and Rep resentative Kahn, of California, and is now completing schedules which will route other prominent speakers through the Pacific Coast states.
