Republican Nominee for Presi

Ground of 10 Years Ago.
CANDIDATE IS TIRED OUT
Substitute Makes Speech in One of
Four Cities Visited in Tour oX
Southern Xew York Protec
tion of Industry Pleaded.
HOF.NELJU X. Y.. Sept. 2. Charles B.
Hughes went through the southern tier
of counties In New York State today
over his political battleground of 10
years ago. Ha spoke In four cities and
greeted with handshakes or a ew
words 10 other audiences in small
towns.
Mr. Hughes repeated his views on
the protective tariff, the maintenance,
of American rights and other Issues of
the campaign. In his speech at Bing
hamton and again at Elmira and
Corning the nominee wenurther than
he had gone before in niUking known
his views on the eight-hour day.
"I am not opposed to the principle
of the eight-hour day," Mr. Hughes
said. "I favor the general principle of
the eight-hour day. I should like to
see an eight-hour work day.
"Continuously during my terms of
executive responsibility in this state.'
Mr. Hughes said in his address here to
night, "I sought to promote the just
interests of labor and recommended
any poetical measure to that end. It
is trMt did not always agree with
proposcu. measures.
Principle Is Upheld.
"I admit that cheerfully, and I may
say further that what I did in connec
tion with my duty as Governor in
volved a principle which I should con
tinue to apply if I were invested with
executive responsibility. As Governor
I examined the proposals that were
made as clearly as . I knew how, and
what I thought was right I favored,
and when I believed a measure was
wrong I did not attempt to gain votes
by indorsing it."
The nominee was accompanied by
William M. Calder and Robert Bacon,
successful and defeated candidates for
the Republican Senatorial nomination.
Mr. Hughes reached Hornell so tired
of body and voice that he had a local
THeZ Jld?" ?",BeVe CROWDS ARE ENTHUSIASTIC
The nominee spoke a few words only
after his substitute had closed. The,
second campaign trip will ena at .Buf
falo tomorrow.
Charles E. Hughes addressed an audi
ence in the opera-house here today.
Protection la Demanded,
Mr. Hughes spoke of the protective
tariff. "I tell you, fellow citizens," he
said, "we are facing a critical period.
It is no time to be talking r.t a tariff
for revenue only. We read protection
to our industries and there is no man
In the country today who can tell
where the Democratic party stands with
respect to protection or American in
terests.
"It takes all of us. too. to make the
United States and to make our coun
try prosperous and we'll never do it
unless labor and capital work together
amicably."
The nominee renewed his attack on
the Administration for the Adamson
' bill. He declared that he "would like
to see an eight-hour work day," but
that he stood squarely for investlga-
' yield an inch either to labor or capi
tal in that principle.

he avoided none. In doing this he suc
ceeded in placing the Administration
on the defensive, which no one was
quicker to realize than President Wil-
eoh himself, for he was forced to de
fend his own record and his own Ad
ministration only a few days after Mr.
Hughes unhmbered his guns in Illinois.
The reception accorded Mr. Hughes
in Illinois was such as to satisfy the
Republican campaign managers that
this state may be placed In the safe
Republican list, for the enthusiastic
Indorsement which Illinois (and in Illi
nois Progressives ana RepuDiicans
again are one) gave the nominee left
no doubt as to their satisfaction with
the National ticket.
Going into Wisconsin, Mr. Hughes
entered a state that was and still Is
doubtful. Upstate, in the smaller com

invariably had good crowds, crowds
that far outnumbered those which

VANCOUVER, Wash., Sept. 29. (Spe

tended a meeting tonight at the Court
house at which a Clarke County Hughes
Republican Club was organized. Mil

save on the question of the protection
of American rights and on the pro
tective tariff. Taken as a whole, the
upstate reception was not encouraging.
Milwaukee Reception Hearty.
On returning to Milwaukee Mr.
Hughes received as hearty and as en
thusiastic a reception as has been ac
corded him anywhere during the cam
paign. At Milwaukee he spoke in the
Coliseum, one of the finest auditoriums
in the country, with a seating capacity
of 8000, and crowded that night with
no fewer than 10,000 persons. The ova
tion given Mr. Hughes when he en
tered would have satisfied; indeed,
would have gratified, Colonel Roose-
was made by Gus C. Moser, of Portland,
who delivered a forcible address which
aroused the greatest enthusiasm. Mr.
Moser flayed the Democratic Adminis
tration for its failure to live up to
promises and platform, and urged
vigorous campaign for the return of
the Republican party to power.
Party issues were his topic, and his
clear-cut presentation of political con
ditions made a great impression upon
nis Hearers, when ne concluded he re
ceived a storm of applause.
Work will begin at once to organize
all Republican and Hughes clubs
throughout the county. Campaign but
tons and literature will be distributed
and meetings will be held in all parts
or tne county.
"Clarke County will return an over
whelming majority for Mr. Hujrhes.
said Secretary Stuart after the meeting.

Swinging down Into Indiana, Mr.
Hughes invaded another state listed as
doubtful. Indiana did not look so
doubtful, from his viewpoint, after Mr.
Hughes had spoken there for three
days as It did prior to his advent. In
that state the Republican nominee
found countless independent voters
who were undecided as to how they
would vote in November. Among vot
ers of this class who heard him. many
were won over; lust how many no one
can say.
Nowhere was Mr. Hughes afraid to
discuss the issues closest to the hearts
of the people to whom he was speak
ing. At Fort Wayne, at South Bend
at Gary and at Michigan City, he ad
dressed audiences made up largely of
laboring men; at Michigan City his
audience was practically solidly made
up of laborers employed in those
shops, some 6000 In all. There, as at
Milwaukee, at Springfield, 111., and else
where, he delved right Into the heart of
the , labor question; he handled the
Adamson law as he did before audi
ences more varied in character: he re
cited his own record on labor; he re
cited the record of the Republican
party and contrasted it with the record
of the Democratic party, and he told
labor what his attitude would be if he
overturned at Sixteenth and Alder 1 were elected in November. Those labor

had been owned by Mr. Bailey, but was
sold, and the license transferred. The
car is now said to be the property of a

In investigating- the accident the po
lice failed to note the transfer, and
concluded that Mr. Bailey was the
driver. Four persons, one of whom
was injured, were riding in the auto
mobile when it overturned.

audiences responded with enthusiastic
approval.
Hashes Buttons In Demand.
Just as a sidelight on the Michigan
City speech, it is related by a member
of the Hughes party that he passed
through crowds everywhere passing
out Hughes buttons. He did not dis
tribute them at random; he gave them
out where they were wanted. No
where, he says, was there such a de
mand for Hughes buttons and Hughes
badges as in Michigan City, and the
demand there came from the men
working in the shops. This demand
was as great after the speech as before.
Reviewing the whole swing through
the Middle West, it appears that the
predominating Issue with the voters.
the Issue on which Mr. Hughes made
his greatest Impression and which won
for him the greatest applause, was the
protection of American lives and Amer
ican rights. On that issue every audi
ence in the states named was with
the Republican nominee.
The Mexican question, which directly
connected with the other. Is another
strong factor in the Hughes campaign
In the Middle West. On that issue
Mr. Hughes necessarily was critical of
the Administration, for he took the
position that had not President Wilson
meddled in Mexican affairs there would
have been no Mexican issue. His as
sertion that the first duty of the United
States in Mexico was and is to see to
it that American lives and property in
that country are protected, and the
American flag respected.
Indiana Tour Triumphal.
It Is not overstating the fact to say
that Mr. Hughes' tour through Indiana
was triumphal and that triumph was
crowned, at its close, with one of the
most demonstrative meetings of the
campaign at Indianapolis. In that
great city, the Republican nominee
participated in and then reviewed an
old-time Republican parade. Ten thou
sand Republicans, with banners and
torches, with roman candles and red
fire paraded the streets while ten
times their number lined the curbs to
shout their welcome and their approval.
When, at the great hall. Mr. Hughes
delivered what probably was his best
speech in the West, the enthusiasm of
the thousands who were able to hear
him knew no bounds. That audience
was with him on every issue; he cap
tured it at the outset; he held It to
the end and his speech was prolonged
many minutes by the rounds of ap
plause and cheers that greeted his
declarations of his purpose and his
censure of the party in power. Indian
apolis approves the Hughes stand on
Americanism, on the tarirr. on tne
labor question and on the lesser issues.
Middle West Situation Summarized,
The situation In the Middle West, as
viewed from the Hughes special, is this:
Illinois is safely and strongly Republi
can; Wisconsin, especially up-state, is
doubtful; Indiana is doubtful, but
strongly leaning toward Hughes and
the Republican ticket generally. There
will be big Republican gains lr In
diana. It is a notable fact that the
reception given Mr. Hughes in that
state far outstripped the reception
given Vice-President Marshall only a
few days before, when he delivered his
speech of acceptance and made his bid
for Democratic approval in, his own
state. The two events do not bear
comparison.
Wisconsin Is doubtful for two rea
sons; there is much prosperity there
today, due to war orders, although
many who prosper do not see the con
nection between their condition and the
war in Europe. If they can be made
to see, the state may be swung into
the Republican column. Secondly, Sena
tor La Follette, etill Wisconsin s idol. Is
sulking and did not, at any time, meet
Mr. Hughes during his visit to the
state, although at the time he was not
engaged and could have greeted and
could have aided the Republican nomi
nee, had he been so disposed.
Indiana Fears for Future.
Indiana la swinging toward the Re
publican party because, in that state,
there is a marked dissatisfaction with
the present Administration because
there is a widespread realization there
of what is likely to happen if the war
terminates and finds the United states
with its ports open to the free entry
of goods from Europe, and because In
diana, maintaining a firm belief in the
doctrine of the protection of American
rights, has come to doubt whether such
protection can be had from this Admin
istration. Then, too, there is dissatis
faction among Indiana Democrats with
the two sitting Senators. Kern, though
the faenate leader, is looked upon as
weak and too subservient to the die
tates of the White House, and Taggart,
by recently assuming the role of re
former and economist, has only aroused
derision among his own constituents
But at that Indiana. like Wisconsin,
is yet to be won or lost. Develop
raents of the campaign will determine
how both those states will go in No
vember. Republican leaders in Wiscon
sin say they are well pleased with Mr.
Hughes' reception, even in towns that
failed- outwardly to respond to his
speeches; lack of demonstration, they
say, is not significant In Wisconsin.
Yet there was no lack of demonstra
tion at Milwaukee; there could have
been no more enthusiasm than de
veloped many times during the course
of Mr. Hughes' speech. Contentment
over a prosperity due to war condi
tions is the big issue with which th
Republicans have to contend in Wi.
consin- that, and La Follette's indif
ference to the fate of the National
ticket. The same issue, to a lesser
degree. Is found in Indiana. But Re
publican prospects In Indiana today are
reasonably bright; they are much bet
ter than before the visit of Mr. Hughes.

NEW YORK. Sept. 29. (Special.)
Chairman Willcox and all members of
the Republican National campaign com
mittee here are gratified at the out
come of the New York Republican state
convention, the results in their opinion
positively making the state certain for
National, state and Congressional
ticket.
The convention completed the proc-
ss of harmonizing Progressives and
regulars by an equitable division of
places on the electoral ticket. It gave
Governor Hughes an ovation which in
enthusiasm equaled. If it did not sur
pass, the many enthusiastic meetings
of his campaign tour and gave him an
opportunity to demolish the attack
made on him by ex-ecretary of State
Olney.
Party Is Reunited.
The Republicans and Progressives of
the state are united in their support
of the candidates on the Nationa
ticket, the Governor and the United
States Senator. The Democrats, on the
other hand, are not harmonious on
either their National or Senatorial
tickets. Tammany is lukewarm if not
hostile toward Wilson, while the Wil
son forces are lukewarm if not hostile
toward McCombs for the Senate.
These conditions in New Tork are
paralleled in New Jersey, and in the
opinion of the Republican managers the
votes of both states are sure for
Hughes and the election of two Re
publican United States Senators to. suc
ceed two Democrats. Betting odds
here, which run from two to two and
one-half to one in favor of Hughes,
seem to confirm these views.
Democrats Lack Harmony.
Lack of harmony among the New
York Democrats is emphasised by the
sudden postponement of the meeting
of the state committee to select candi
dates for Presidential electors. The
postponement was so unexpected and
was determined so hastily that sev
eral members of the committee missed
their notification and are unwillingly
held In New York over the week-end.
It develops that one of the reasons for
the postponement was a difference be
tween Judge Seabury, nominee for
Governor, and some of the campaign
managers as to the naming of Pro
gressives on the electoral ticket.
Judge Seabury is. reported to have
been somewhat liberal in promises of
this sort and to be In difficulty now
about making the word good. Since
he was defeated for the nomination
for Governor in the Progressive pri
mary by Governor whitman there is
strong opposition In the Democratic
state committee to recognizing any of
the promises to Progressives.

dean of the men of the university, is
backing the movement and many other

campus finds a preponderance of the
students favoring Charles E. Hughes
for President.
