'.lat it means. In a. very simple way
t'i statement it may be said to have
relation to methods by which one man's
U'oods are palmed off as the goods of
another man through deceptive state
ments in advertising: and the like.
"Theie things are described in the
law as unfair competition. Was this
law passed to reach them? Of course
not. Talk about clarifying- the anti
trust act by definition. Why. there is
not a business man in the country who
knows what that act means or what he
Ehpuld do or not do under it.
"I complain of the extravagant claims
made with respect to the clarification
of the law in the alleged interest of
business when nothing of "the sort has
been done and the act expressly states
that nothing of the sort was attempted.
You cannot mislead the American peo
ple by claims of that description."
Mniian Stand Criticised.
Mr. Hughes assailed the Administra
tion's Mexican policy on the ground
that the profession of dealing with
smaller nations in the same manner as
with larger nations "is a profession
belied by practice."
"It has not been made good; it ought
to be made good." he said.
"We said to Huerta. not simply that
he would not be recognized, but that he
should even be a candidate at a Mex
ican election. Is that the way we deal
with a great and powerful state? Do
we dictate who shall be candidates of
great and powerful states? What is the
use of talking about treating small and
weak states in the way in which we
treat great states when we depart from
principle and get ourselves involved in
serious difficulties by the departure
when we attempt to control Mexican
politics instead of adopting the straight
course of protecting the lives and prop
erty of American citizens?"
Three Addresses Given.
Mr. Hughes' address in the Coliseum
was the third he had delivered today.
The first was at a nonpartisan lunch
eon gathering of business men.
Mr. Hughes told the business men
what he believes is needed to place
American prosperity on a lasting basis
and what he purposed doing, if elected,
toward "opening the door of achieve
ment to honest American enterprise."
The nominee declared that business
men were entitled to know what they
could do and what they could not do;
that a way should be found, whereby
they could eliminate waste and work
for the development of legitimate en
terprise, that the time had come to
make the ideals of the Declaration of
Independence the facts of American
life and that American industry could
never meet the test of post bellura
European competition unless "in every
retaliation we maintain the supremacy
of reason and justice and never sur
render principle to force."
Need of Tariff Reviewed.
"I want to know," he said, in speak
ing of the proposed protective tariff,
"the condition of the industry affected
here and abroad. I want to know the
cost of production at home and in
Europe as nearly as can be ascertained.
I want to know the wage scale and
what adjustment is necessary to de
velop our economic independence.
"The day is coming when the United
States will be put to a severer economic
test than it has ever been put to. We
must find some way to organize our
selves to work together for the de
velopment of our business interests, for
the expansion of every ligitlmate active
ity. The day has gone by when any
thing arbitrary should be maintained
in this land.
"I think business men are entitled to
know what they can do and what they
cannot do. I have no faith in legisla
tion expressed in vague generalities.
Such legislation does not meet the de
mands of the business community. We
want to be right; we want to be fair;
we want to know what the road is.
And, I propose that so far as within
me lies, that we shall know, under
standard legislation which affects the
interests of the busines community."

Hasty Furriuar,
CALEXICO, Cal.. Aug. 30. (Special.)
Private R. L. Murphy, before he
enlisted for what he expected to be
active service on the border, was a
bond broker with offices in New York.
But that has little to do with this story.
It was not unusual that Private
Murphy should go to town the other
night. But it was most singular that
he should be "broke," for he is seldom
without ready cash, even temporarily.
Why should a broker be?
Private Murphy lolled down the
street. Then he grew thirsty and the
more he thought about it, the thirstier
he grew.
A young burro nosed about near the
curb. Then it nosed up to Murphy and
Murphy stroked its soft nose.
"What'll yah take fer 'im young
feller," inquired a brawny passerby.
"Oh, I guess about a dollar and a
half." jokingly replied the soldier.
Then, much to his surprise, the husky
dropped the coins in Murphy's hand and
quickly led the little animal away be
fore the surprised private recovered his
power oT speech.

COUNT AND COUNTESS VOX BERN'S STOKP.
Countess von Bernstorff arrived on the steamship Frederick VIII August 29. She was met at the pier by
Count von Bernstorff, German Ambassador to the United States. The Countess was formerly Jeanne Luckmeyer,
of New York. She has not been in the United States for two years. Lines of care have become written on the
face of the German Ambassador since the outbreak of the war.
MILSONAGGEPTS
Republicans Scored and Dis

BID MADE FOR MOOSE VOTE
Declaration That Progressive Flat
' form as Well as Democratic Has
Been Carried Out Taken
as IiUre to Malcontents.
(Continued From First Page.)
I years, the President declared:
"Thin etrH.ordinarv recital must
sound like a platform, a list of san
guine promises, but it is not. It is a
record of promises made four years ago
and now actually redeemed in construc
tive legislation."
Bid Made for Moose Vote.
The President made a bid for the
Progressive vote by saying that "we
have in four years come vcrv near to
carrying out the platform of the Pro
gressive party, as well as our own,
for we are also progressives."
Further along, rebuking foreign-born
Americans who are not loyal to tne
United States, he said: "I am the can
didate of a party, but I am above all
things else, an American citizen."
When Mr. Wilson declared mat tne
revolution in Mexico is right and that
so long as its leaders represent, how
ever imperfectly, a struggle for free
dom,' he is ready to serve their ends,
the crowd applauded. Applause also
greeted his declaration that America
must do its part in laying tne founda
tion for world peace.
Rights of Humanity Put First.
The policy of the United States in
dealing with, violations of the rights
of Americans as a result of the Euro
pean war, the President outlined thus:
"The property ngnts can dc vinai-
cated by claims for damage when the
war is over, and no modern nation can
decline to arbitrate such claims, but
the freedom rights of humanity can.
not be."
The audience which listened to the
President's address of acceptance was
made up largely of residents of New
Jersev coast towns, but included Dem
ocratic leaders from every section of
the country and delegations from New
York, Pennsylvania and other nearby
states.
Day Happy. Says President.
When President Wilson was told to
night that the eight-hour bill was
ready for his signature, he said:
"It is the climax of a very happy
Jay."
Officials said it would be legal for
tho President to sign the bill on Sun
day.
President and Mrs. Wilson, on the
way back to Washington, reached the
railway station here shortly before 11
P. M. Mr. Tumulty announced as the
train was leaving that he had received
a mefeage from the hite House say
ingr the railway brotherhood leaders
had agreed to call off the strike.
PROMISES ARE HELD KEPT
(Continued From Page 2.)
traders and manufacturers and to remove
the barriers of misunderstanding and of
too technical interpretation of the law. In
the new Tariff Commission we have added
another Instrumentality of observation and
adjustment which promise to be lmme
diately serviceable. The Trade Commission
substitutes counsel and accommodation for
the harsher processes of legal restraint, and
the Tariff Commission ought to substitute
facta for prejudices and theories. Our ex
porters have for some time had the ad
vantage of working: in the new light thrown
upon foreign markets and opportunities of
trade by the intelligent inquiries and activ
ities of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce which the Democratic Congrees
so wisely created In 1912. The Tariff Com
mission completes the machinery by which
we shall be enabled to open up our legis
lative policy to the facts as they develop.
We can no longer indulge our traditional
provincialism. Wo are to play a leading
part In the world drama whether we wish
It or not. We shall lend, not borrow; act
for ourselves, not Imitate or follow ; organ
ize and initiate, not peep about merely to
see where we may got In.
We have already formulated and agreed
upon a policy of law which will explicitly
remove the ban now supposed to rest upon
co-operation amongst our exporters In seek
ing and securing their, proper place in the
markets of the world. The field will .be
free, the instrumentalities at hand. It will
only remain for the masters of enterprise
amongst us to act in energetic concert, and
for the Government of the United States
to Insist upon tho maintenance throughout
the world of those conditions of fairness
and of even-handed justice in the com
mercial dealings of the nations with one
another upon which, after all, in the last
analysis, the peace and ordered life of the
world must ultimately depend.
Settled Conditions Desirable
At home also we must see to it that the
men who plan and develop and direct our
business enterprises shall enjoy definite and
settled conditions of law, a policy accommo
dated to the freest progress. We have set
the just and necessary limits. We have
put all kinds of unfair competition under
the ban and penalty of the law. We have
barred monopoly. These fatal and ugly
things being excluded, we must now quicken
action and facilitate enterprise by every
just means within our choice. There will
be peace in the business world, and, with
peace, revived confidence and life.
We ought both to husband and to de
velop our natural resources, our mines, our
forests, our water-power. I wish we could
nave made more progress than we have
made In this vital matter; and I call once
mere, with the deepest earnestness and
solicitude, upon the advocates of a careful
and provident conservation, on the one hand,
and the advocates of a free and Inviting
field for private capital, on the other, to
get together in a spirit of genuine accommo
dation and agreement and set this great
policy forward at once.
We must hearten and quicken the spirit
and efficiency of labor throughout our whole
industrial system by everywhere and In all
occupations doing justice to the laborer.
not only by pay ins: a livlnir waire but also
by making all the conditions that surround
labor what they ought to be. And we must
do more than Justice. We must safeguard
life and promote health and safety in every
occupation in which they are threatened or
imperilled. That Is more than justice, and
better, because It is humanity and economy.
We must co-ordinate the railway system
of the country for National use, and must
facilitate and promote their development
with a view to that co-ordination and to
their better adaptation as a whole to the
lie and trade and defense of the Nation.
The life and industry of the country can
be free and unhampered only If these
arteries are open, efficient and complete.
Thirt shall we stand ready to meet the
future as circumstances and international
policy effect their unfolding, whether the
changes come slowly or come fast and with
out preface.
Spirit of Platform Interpreted.
I have not spoken explicitly, gentlemen.
of the platform adopted at St. Louts; but
it has been implicit in all that I have said.
I have sought to Interpret its spirit and
meaning. The people of the United States
do not need to be assured now that that
platform is a definite pledge, a practical
programme. We have proved to them that
our promises are made to be kept.
We hold very definite Ideals. We believe
that the energy and initiative of our pro
pie have been too narrowly coached and
superintended; that they should be set free,
as we have set them free, to disperse them
selves throughout the Nation; that they
should not be concentrated In the hands of
a few powerful guides and guardians, as our
opponents have again and again, in eirect
if not in purpose, sought to concentrate
them. We believe, moreover who that
looks about him now with comprehending
eye can fall to believe? that the" day of
little Americanism, with Its narrow horizons.
when methods of "protection and Indus
trial nursing were the chief study of our
provincial statesmen, are past and gone
and that a day of enterprise has at iast
dawned for the United States whose field is
the wide world.
We hope to see the stimulus of that new
day draw all America, the republics of both
continents, on to a new life and energy and
Initiative in the great affairs of peace. We
are Americans for big America, and rejoice
to look forward to the days in which Amer
ica, shall strive to stir tl.e world, without
Irritating it or drawing it on to new an
tagonisms, when the nations with which we
deal shall at last come to see upon what
deep foundations of humanity and justice
our passion for peace rests, and when all
mankind shall look upon our great peopte
with a new sentiment of admiration, friendly
rivalry and real affection, as upon a people
who, though keen to succeed, seeks always
to be at once generous and Just and to whom
humanity Is uearer than profit or selfish
power.
Upon this record and In the faith of this
purpose we go to the country.
J. HAM IS TO RETIRE
Senator Lewis Rumored As
pirant for Chicago Mayoralty.
PARTY VICTORY DOUBTED
Democrats Cannot AVin In Illinois In
1918 Regardless of Outcome
This Year, Is lteported
Be View Entertained
to
CHICAGO, Sept. 2. (Special.) Sen
ator Jim Ham Lewis is to retire from
the United States Senate in 1919, at
the expiration of his present term.
His present intention is to decline to
be a candidate for renomlnation at the
Democratic state primaries of 1918 and
to be a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for Mayor of Chicago in
the Spring: of 1919.
This is the confidential information
that has reached Chicago friends- of
Senator Lewis in connection with the
present primary campaign and is
credited with inspiration from Senator
Lewis himself.
The gossip that goes along with this
report Is that Senator Lewis is not
over-confident that there can be a
Democratic victory in Illinois in 1919
regardless of what might develop at
the Presidential election next Novem
ber and that he would be up against
a losing game, even were he to win
the Democratic nomination for his own
succession.
It is a foregone conclusion that the
regular Democratic organization, head
ed by Roger C. Sullivan, will have a
candidate for the Senatorship whether
Senator Lewis is a candidate or
whether he is not. The identity of this
candidate is as yet not disclosed. It
might be Mr. Sullivan himself or it
might be Robert M. Sweitzer. who car
ried the Sullivan colors in the Mayor
alty contest of 1911.
In any event, the 1918 Senatorship,
by common consent, in both parties,
will go to a Chicago candidate.
Why Senator Lewis aspires to the
Mayor's chair is explained by the re
peated statements that have been made
from the stump in mayoralty cam
paigns that the Mayor of Chicago, in
opportunity and authority, is second in
importance only to the President of the
United States and certainly superior
in point of power to the Vice-President.

Unsurpassed
, I his
with,
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. Sept. 2. Democratic campaign
managers are going to plan their cam
paign this year on the assumption that
the American voters will not devote
much time to the intensive study of
the issues before the country, and
therefore they do not intend to treat
seriously the more important issues
which their Republican opponents have
raised. They frankly proclaim their
purpose.
One of the biggest Democrats In Con
gress and a man whose advice goes far
with the men directing the Democratic
National contest, made these admis
sions, with the understanding that his
name be not used.
"We are not afraid, he said, "of any
thing you Republicans may say about
Mexico or about our relations with the
powers of Europe. The President may
have bungled the Mexican affair and
he may have made as bad a mess as
you charge of our negotiations wim
the warring nations of Europe. But
what of it? We will simply reply. 'He
kept us out of war.'
War Sales Are Cited.
"And you may rail at the Under
wood tariff; you may charge that we
have opened the American markets to
the producers abroad, but we will re
ply that the United States is today
selling more than It ever sold aDroaa.
"You Republicans have Just one issue
on which to go before the people and
that is to persuade the people to tliink
what is going to happen when tne war
is over. You can. if your tariff theories
are correct, make out a case against
the Democratic tariff policy for I am
frank to admit that a Republican tarur
will more effectually bar the cheap
products of Europe after the war than
will the present tariff law. But will
you be able to mako the people look
ahead?"
Some of the best thinkers in the Re
publican party are ready to admit that
the Republican campaign this year
must be a campaign of education and
awakening. There is no disposition in
ReDUblicsn circles to overlook the force
of the cry, "He kept us out of war."
On the contrary, that Is admitted to he
the best issue the Democrats have.
Country at War Twice.
It is true, they ear, that, in fact.
President Wilson has twice plunged the
United States into war with Mexico,
and that serious conflict would have
followed both the Vera Cruz incident
and the crossing of the northern bor-
ber. but for the inability or Mexico, as
a nation, to resist.
At a conference of Republican lead
ers in both senate ana nouse, ueiu
In Washington only a few days ago,
it was agreed that the strongest case
the Republicans can make is by a full
and fair portrayal of the situation that
will confront the United states wnen
the war in Europe ends.
Trade 'Will End Over Mclit.
Long-headed men, who are in the
habit of looking well into the future,
have no doubt in their own minds as to
what will happen if the Democrats
are in power and the "Underwood law
is in force when peace is restored. They
realize that the unprecedented foreign
trade will end over night, and Amer
ican ports wil be flooded with bil
lions of products sent over from Eu
rope, where 30.000.000 soldiers. re
leased from the trenches, will be back
In the shops, and working at wages
lower by far than the previous low
scale that prevaUed throughout Europe.
These far-sighted men see that the
30.000.000 who are now consumers will
become producers, competing directly
with" American workingmen, and they
see a tumbling of American prices in
the face of this onslaught unless some
protective bar is raised. The anti
dumping clause of the ICitchin revenue
bill, upon examination, proves to be
an utterly worthless declaration that
will afford no protection at all.
Third Oregon's Horned Toad
Breaks Postal Rule.
Reptile Mailed for Orrfcon Strolls
Prom Package In Pontoffice and
! Banished to Vacant Lot.
IMPERIAL BEACH. Cal.. Sept. 2.
(Special.) Says the postmaster of
San Diego to the postmaster at Im
perial Beach: "No more horntoads in
the United States mail." Says the post
master at Imperial Beach to the Third
Oregon Infantry: "No more horntoads,
boys."
And there you are. There will be no
more horntoads sent home by parcels
post to the folks in Oregon, because
Uncle Sam draws the line when it
comes to transporting them in his mall
sacks. At least, no more will migrate
north unless their identity is excellent
ly well concealed. They might be
shipped as an orange, say, but never as
a toad. Toads henceforth are taboo.
The anti-toad edict was promulgated
the other day because a toad which had
been started toward Oregon by a mem
ber of the regiment contrived to get
loose. He happened to escape from his
package in the postoffice at San Diego,
and naturally horntoads aren't popular
