ROCHESTER, N. Y., Oct. 27. Charles
E. Hughes tonight replied to state
ments in President Wilson's Cincinnati
speech concerning preparations to meet
commercial competition after the war.
Mr. Hughes told an audience here
that the Administration's views re
minded him of its views on prepared
ness on December, 1914. which were af
terward changed; that he considered
the anti-dumping provision of the rev
enue bill, intended to meet the situa
tion, as "farcical" and "worse than use
less" to protect American workmen.
and that even if the percentage of ex
ports of commodities to supply armies
was small, it required very little "to
contract or destroy the prosperity of
the country."
The nominee addressed (in audience
that cheered him repeatedly. He told
them that, as he had been while Gov
ernor of New York, he was now. and
should be in the future: that he was
willing to stand or fall by what he
believed to be right.
America Far from Ready.
'It was said in December, 1914," Mr.
Hughes asserted, that America, was
ready, that any suggestion to the con
trary was thoughtless. But, in truth
America was far from ready. It is now
said with reference to the commercial
rivalry that America is read). I think.
In truth, that America is far from ready
and that we shall not be ready until
we have a clearer notion of what we
may expect."
ir. tiugnes cited statistics of Im
ports to answer the President's decla
ration that everything exported from
the United States to supply armies does
not total 1 per cent of the total of
American commerce. After stating the
increase in chemicals brass, bread
stuffs, iron and steel, cotton and other
commodities. Mr. Hughes declared that

"amazed at the suggestion" that it

could hardly affect the great remain
ing percentage.
Prosperity Must De Guarded.
'Why. If you had the greatest dis
tress in this country," Mr. Hughes
Id "you would still have a tremen
dous volume of commerce and trade.
It does not take much to contract the
prosperity of this country, to destroy
the prosperity or this country. The
great percentage, of our exchanges and
of our commerce would continue even
if we were in very serious straits.
'When you infuse this abnormal de
mand to which I have referred you
have given a stimulus which undoubt
edly is felt through the country, and
when you have a policy carried Into
effect, such as was Involved in the
Underwood bill, the contraction re
sulting from that policy, although per
haps a small percentage, was enough
to send hundreds and thousands of
workingmen Into the street.
Let us not deeclve ourselves. Let
us take account of what is necessary
for the protection of our Industry and
let us have it understood that we are
doing it. not to, give benefits to a few.
but to provide a basis lor prosperity
for the many.
Democratic Defense Ridiculed.
It is said, after scoffing at the sug
gestion that is made with respect to
competition with an energized Europe
after suggesting that America Is
able to take care of itself, implying,
of course with the present govern
mental policies after saying there Is
no such thing, then Is It said. well, we
have made provision with respect to
it in our anti-dumping clause, in our
revenue bill. And anybody that Is
going to threaten. American Industry
and everybody who will in any way
interfere with our conditions here may
have to pay a few thousand dollars'
fine or go to Jail."
That. Mr. Hughes said, reminded
him of the story of the man charged
with the theft of a copper kettle who
was ready with two defenses: first,
that he never saw the kettle, and
never stole it, and second, that the
kettle had a hole In it anyway.
Antl-Dumplnar I.avr Defeclive.
Now let us consider this anti-dump
ing clause," the nominee continued. "I
have read some of the legislation which
has recently been enacted, and for leg
islative phrasing It holds the palm. If
there is any place where you cannot
accomplish anything by the mere us
of words, unless they are well directed
and have an obvious and clear content,
It Is in a statute. That is the place
where you have got to tell what you
reaiiy mean.
"Let me show you what It says. It
starts Oy saying: 'That it shall be un

sisting in Importing any articles from
any foreign country into the United

Franco-Prussian war. and the North
ern states after the Civil War in this
country.
Rochester Speech Fourth of Day.
Mf. Hughes' speech here tonight was
the fourth one of the day. In his first
address at Utlca he devoted much of
his time to his tariff views and Ameri
canism. He reiterated his denial that
a vote for him meant a vote for war.
At Auburn the nominee axsalled the
Administration for its alleged failure
to observe the merit system In making
appointments and declared for a "fair
and equitable retirement system' for
civil service employes.
"I want to see men who are de
voting their lives to the civil service
held to high standards of efficiency,"
Mr. Hughes said, "and at the same time
to promote in every practicable 'way
the system. Including a fair and
equitable retirement system."
The nominee declared that to meet
Europan competition after the war
"America has got to build and maintain
a new American policy." He added
that America also should have a "sound
American foreign policy, which will
provide so far as belligerent action can
provide, a backing for American enter
prise."
He did not propose to treat "business
men as suspicious characters." he said.
nor to put the brakes upon the wheels
of industrial progress," although he
opposed every tendency or policy which
looks toward discrimination or monopo
listic production."
Vote Is TVot for War.
In Jils Auburn speech Mr. Hughes de
nounced the statement that a vote for
him meant a vote for war as "false,
unworthy, preposterous and insincere."
He again expressed the conviction that
he would be elected and the audience
cheered adding that if he were Pres.
dnt he would "hHve competent business
heads" for the War and Navy departments.
The Administration's alleged lack of
preparedness when the National Guard
was mobilized was assailed by Mr.
Hughes in his speech at Geneva.
"The defects in the system which
were revealed were defects which a rea
sonable oversight easily could have
prevented," he said. "There were de
fects in mnny directions, as you an
know, with respect to equipment, rifles,
uniforms, horses. We had artillerymen
without guns and cavalrymen without
horses. We have a serious lack of
equipment. We were troubled even In
the transportation facilities which were
provided."
B3.000 are employed on other work than
munition making.
Concerning the territorials In the
civil zone. General reoques declared
their work was Incessant, while the
fighting regiments had turns of re
pose. "In the civil zone," the War Minister
sAid. "there is always work to be done.
It Is a war of work. Never has there
been a war in which so much work had
to be done."
General Roqties said also that while
French railroad employes had decreased
15 per cent the traffic had Increased 40
per cent beyond the normal, and the
same thing was true of the postal serv
ice and mining. Toung factory special

1916. 21,000.000.000 marks also.
"You will remember that the first
four loans were essentially of the
same type, carrying 5 per cent Interest
and having approximately the same
price of issue. There having been
raised in this fashion 36.000.000 marks
ir round figures, the question seemed
justified as to whether the fifth loan
could be placed under the, same con
ditions."
Count . Von Roedern said the sub
scriptions to the fifth loan had
amounted to 10.652.000,000 marks. He
said that the number of subscribers
was about 4.000,000 and therefore the
fifth war loan must be called a "peo
ple's loan.

'Now. I am amazed." he continued,
"I am really amazed at intelligent men.
In the face of this economic situation

cessation of the war, to hold up a
thing like that as a protection to

much if with these qualifying words

Milady Nicotine and Patrolman Hunt
crossed swords last night, and Patrol
man Hunt Is now hors de combat.
Out In the vicinity of Seenth and
Halsey streets last night Patrolman
Hunt emelled cigarette smoke. Its
source was a hand of boys, 8 or S
years old. secluded behind a building
and puffing away at as rank a pill
as ever was rolled. He started to
admonish the boys on the folly of their
ways when they separated like a band
of frightened calves and took to their
heels.
Patrolman Hunt, who is a good
sprinter, gave chase and all but had
one of the lads by the nape of the
neck when. In the darkness, he plunged
down Into a basement doorway.
At the Emergency Hospital It was
found he probably had a' fractured
knee cap. for he fell with considerable
force. Besides being painful, the In
Jury may leave him a cripple.
