2 TIIE SUNDAY OREGOXTAN, PORTLAND, OCTOBER 29, 1916. 4 HUGHES APPEALS TO 'FARMERS FOR VOTE Weed of Preparation to Meet European Competition Af lw ter War Emphasized. ADAMSON LAW ATTACKED Candidate Says If He la Elected President He Will Protect 4 American Rights on Ijand and on Sea. OGDENSBUKG, N. Y., Oct. 28. Charles E. Hughes told an audience here tonight that if ha were elected Tresident he would protect American rights on land and sea. "There must be with us, as with our fathers," ho added, "a willingness to sacrifice for the oountry that we love." Mr. Hughes was speaking before a large audience here. Earlier in the day lie had' asserted that he did not "be lieve you can buy the labor vote in that way" in his discussion of the en actment of the Adamson law. In his speech here tonight Mr. Hughes, after declaring that "it is love of country, not love of dollars, that will make America, great," said: "We want material advancement. We want to have the greatest pros perity we can achieve, but it is a mistake to suppose that with nations, &e with men, great development and success can be attained if there are low and unworthy ideals which dominate action. It is the lofty patriotic ideal that must beckon us cn. and to which wo must be faithful. We must have a driving power in this country, a power which engenders a dominant tense of unity and areepect for the privileges of Americancitizenship. Sacrifice Weed Cited. "If I am elected we shall have an American Administration with no de flection to serve any ulterior interests and with no deflection for the purpose of bending to the policy of any foreign power for the purpose of meeting any foreign machinations of any sort whatever. What we hope is to have an American Administration four square to the world, maintaining American rights on land and sea with respect to life, property and com merce. There must with us aa w.ith our fathers, be a willingness to sacri fice for the country that we love. "I do not want to be President of a people that are not ready to give their all for their liberties, their land, their country that they love. "Now arises some one to say that there have been those going through the lan-i who have said a vote for me is a vote for war. I am devoted to the Interests of peace. I have spent all my life in connection with the institu tion of peace. Victory at Folia Predicted. "The manifestations of interest which have greeted me today show beyond any question, as it seems to me, that we are marching steadily forward to a decisive victory on the 7th or? No vember. "We must take a view of the pri mary duty of the executive. What is it? The very words suggest the an swer. He is primarily the executive. It is not bis function to barter; it is not his function to grant or withhold privileges of citizenship. He is the ex ecutive of the people. He Is entrusted with the business management of the great affairs of the Nation. And his first duty is to give a first-class, ef ficient business administration of the Government of this country. At the very outset of his administra tion there were called to the high po sitions of Secretary of State and Secre tary of the Navy positions closely re lated to our interests men of amiable qualities, men of excellent character, but men clearly unequal to the high duties of those positions. We cannot attend to American business in that way. And recently we have found our Secretary of War so busy explaining his unfortunate utterances that it seems he could hardly have time to at tend to the necessary duties of his of fice. It is of little importance that we fchould have vast appropriations for pre paredness unless we have the most (competent administration in the spend ing of public money. i Seir-Reapeet Pat First. "A vote for me is a vote for peace, but is a vote for the maintenance of American rights and peace with honor, and lasting peace. What a mistake it is to suppose you can conserve your peace and forfeit your self-respect. You live in a world where friendship, our friendship, is desired by all. We desire the friendship of every nation. We have certain rights. Our citizens are understood to have certain rights. It is well known that under the rules and principles of international law the privileges of citizenship should be rec ognized. "What can be thought of any nation that fails to understand and appreciate the dignity of its citizenship? It can not command respect. It is sure to in vite insult. It will decay by virtue 01 me very tact mat it is not equal to the proper assertion of its demands. We want courteous and firm insistence upon that to which we are entitled, with a consistency and power which Will command the respect of the world. Flag Should Be Peace Symbol.. "If we want peace, we must have the confidence and esteem of other nations. They must respect us. There is no hope otherwise. We shall be driven here and there. We shall forfeit our reputation for competency and understanding cf our position if we are not firm in the maintenance of known rights. "There is no basis for the suggestion that we should be drawn into complica tions All we need to do is assert in a manner that will be convincing, what our rights are, and those Just rights, properly asserted, according to correct standards, will be recognized. With it all, however, must be the recognition of courageous spirit which will mua our flag the symbol of peace, of power that is not misused, but of security to Amer ican citizens, lawfully prosecuting their business wherever they may be." Mr. Hughes campaigned today among the farmers of Northern New York. Ho poke chiefly on Republican policies affecting agriculture, subordinating other campaign Issues. The protective tariff, the "need for preparation to meet the competition of Europe after the war," and the Adamson law were the nominee's chief topics. Mainte nance of American rights on land and sea, he declared, was essential to all prosperity and progress. Timidity Is Criticised. "We shall accomplish nothing in this country unless we have the driving power of patriotic sentiment," be de clared. "There is no future for a de cadent people. We do not want war. I am amazed at the audacity of the as sertion that a vote for me is a vote for war. I am a man devoted to peace. As I look forward, to the futnre there is nothing1 that I more keenly desire than an international organization which will' tend to promote the peace of the world when this awful conflict is at an end. "You cannot hope to maintain your peace and present to the world the spectable of a timid people that has for gotten the courage and Indomitable spirit of the founders and preservers of this Nation a people that backs and backs and talks and talks and talks and. -never stands. There is no peace for the United States with such a policy." - Mr. Huajhea Baa irrow Eacape. Mr. Hughes was nearly run down by his own special train at Oswego. A nervous chauffeur drove the automobile containing the nominee past the land ing at the railway station directly across the tracks in front of the slowly approaching train. When the engine came into view it was less than 30 feet from the nominee's automobile. The chauffeur backed into the car behind and the engineer jammed on the emer gency brakes. The combination pre vented s.n accident. There was a scramble for safety by the crowd, which was massed about the car, and no one was injured. In' his tour today Mr. Hughes went over much of the ground where be cam paigned 10 years ago and again two years afterward while seeking election as Governor of New York. He recog nized many old rlends and was fre quently greeted as "Charley" by the crowds. "Let not labor deceive Itself with the delusion that we can maintain the prosperity we now enjoy based on the exceptional demands of the war," he told his audience at Oswego, In dis cussing: the tariff. "We are cherishing the notion of a prosperity suddenly created and destined to cease when the war ends. This Is coming and you can't dispose of It by phraees. You can't mock it by words. It is there; it Is go ing to come." Real Protection Needed. Reiterating this at Watertown, the nominee said: "Can America look at this picture without deep and sober consideration of its needs? It is no time to say that America has ability. It is no time to say that America is alert. Of course America has ability. Of course it is alert; nut we have got to protect our industries and our agriculture." The anti-dumping provision of the revenue act was characterized as "farcical, pTactically unworkable, prac tically useless." "Why did our opponents put those provisions In?" he asked. "Did they put them in because there was so much danger? Well, it is a very odd thing to pass a long statute with regard to an event they know will not take place. They do not believe in the protective tariff principle. "I have no auarrel with them. Many of them are grood friends of mine. We're dealing in this campaign with condi tions of American life, not with per sonal relations. We are dealing with business, not with question of acquaint anceship or friendship and the fact re mains that they do not believe in the protective principle." Mr. Hughes assailed the enactment of the Underwood law with reference to the low duties on agricultural products, Friendship for Farmera Affirmed. "We must never forget that we need In this country," he sait "particularly in tiie coming years, a more Intensive application in agriculture than we have had. We cannot rely upon lavish bounty of Nature to protect us In the competition of the coming days. We do not want our boys to leave the farms and po to the city. We want work on the farm dignified, that there will be prosperity among our farmers and we want our agricultural developments continued with the highest efficiency and If I am elected, as I expect to be, nothing will give me greater pleasure. "But we cannot expect to deal with this satisfactorily If we Ignore the great importance of developing our food supply. We know what our opponents Intended and lcnow.what tney aia. "They put the import of agricultural products upon the free list, or on a very low rate of duty." Mr. Hughes also assailed the Admin istration for the enactment of the Adamson law.

Johnson Certain to Go to Senate, Only Question Being Size of His Plurality Wet. and Dry Situation Is Puzzling:. BY HARRY B. SMITH. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 28. A quick ening of the interest that naturally marks the near approach of election day, and claims on both sides of ap proaching victory, make up the sum total of activities in California during the week gone by. The Republicans are lar more optimistic than two weeks or tin days ago. They contend, further more .that they are not wildly shout ing in the open air but have "snap tallies" to back up their assertions. Summing up the situation, it can be safely said that Governor Johnson has long since passed the point where his election as Senator was questioned. Now it is entirely a matter of how bis a majority he will be able to pile up. There is unquestionably a Hughes ten dency so far as the- state is concerned and the outlook is raid to be far bright er even in San Francisco where the Democrats have their stronghold. State Safely Republican. Shrewd Judges declare that California at the present writing is-safely within the Repubblican fold and that appar ently by a safe lead. Investigations have shown, so it is declared, that the labor vote is not so solid on the eight hour la,w as was presumed to be the case, and in some Instances there will be a breaking away from Wilson to Hughes. This is particularly true among the railroad men and there is a growing feeling that the Adamson eight-hour bill is more or less political "bunk." to use a slang expression that fits the case. This is particularly true of those railroad men who work under a scale that means shorter working time than the eight-hour basis. Republican interests have taken a poll of the state that is particularly comprehensive and the leaders are re assured in consequence. The poll has been taken to reach all classes of peo ple. After such a plan there has been a poll of various San Francisco dis tricts; the two great valleys. San Joaquin and Sacramento, the mining regions and Southern California. There is shown to be a growing un dercurrent of feeling In favor of Hughes. As has boon hinted, the same thing stands tor f;-n Francisco- and while the city will loly give Wilson a majority, it is nc xpucted that it will be nearly as largi .-.s has been claimed. - netting; Even on LCughea. Wagering on the outcome has not changed materially from a week ago. There is plenty of Hughes backing at evens that the Republicans will carry California. As against that, the en thusiastic Democrats are offering to wager even money Wilson will arry San Francisco by 12,000, which goes the betting of a week ago 2000 better. Republican headquarters assert that this confidence is misplaced. If tt counts for anything, and some times straws show which way the wind Is blowing, there la a healthier sentiment for Hughes in the moving picture houses whenever the candi date's face appears on the screen than earlier in the month. Three weeks ago. Hughes hardly had a handful of ap plause, while the appearance of Wilson on the screen was the signal for a hearty demonstration. This week, as the writer can testify from his own experiences, Charles Evan Hughes was received in a fashion that might be considered extremely cordial. So far as Hiram Johnson is con cerned, it is simply a case of figuring how many votes he will receive. Al ready it is estimated that he will lead Fatton by 100.000 and perhaps far more. There has been no letup in the Governor's Senatorial campaign, for he wants to make this as much of a per sonal triumph as is possible. His popu larity seems to be growing and he will go into the Senate on a full tide. Vote to Be Blggeat in History. That California will turn out the greatest vote in the history of the state is the prediction oo all hands. It Is a Presidential year for one thing; the popularity of Governor Johnson is another matter to be taken into con sideiatlon; the wets and the drys are urging the voters out and the Demo cratic office holders, realizing it is up to them to make a showing, are doing their utmost to see to it that the reg istered vote goes to the polls in Novem ber. Strangely enough the prohibition sit uation la as puzzling as it was the first of the month and no man has come forward with a prediction of any sort. It is quite generally conceded even by the Prohibitionists that amendment No. I. which would make illegal the manufacture of wines, beers and liquors, will fall of passage, but no one seeifcs to know which way the cat is going to jump when it comes to amendment No. 2. This measure, as has been explained, will wipe out the sa loons and force the bars out of clubs and restaurants. It will force those who care to drink to buy their liquid stimulants in two-gallon lots and take them to their homes. There are hundreds of people who think the measure is aimed entirely at the saloons and will vote "yes" for that reason. The liquor interests have spent thousands of dollars in making a cam paign that has been free from vilifica tion. Conservative judges believe the amendmeat will ba defeated, but they admit at the same time they have no figures to support their beliefs. UNIVERSITY TO HAVE BAND Willamette Expects Organization of 20 Pieces Will Be Possible. WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY. Salem. Or, Oct. 28. (Special.) Plans are well under way for the re-organlzatlon of the university band which has been practically dissolved for the past two years. A meeting was called the fore nart of tffe week and 15 responded, and it seems certain that a band of at least 20 pieces will be organized within the next few days. Mr. Faulkner has been procured to direct the band and as soon as the music arrives active practice will begin. The men that signed up were: cor nets. Edwin Payne, Millard Doughton.

BAKER COUNTY HOTBED ELECTIOJT EVEN OVERSHADOWS CROP'S SOARING PRICES. Stronar BifkM Vote Expected Tkazk Community la Democratic Pro- arreaalvea With. Republicans. BAKER, Or.. Oct. 28. (Special.) Baker County la finishing: the National campaign in the greatest enthusiasm ever shown in a. Presidential election since McKinley and Bryan contested ovar free silver and sold standards SO years ago. Politics and issues of the campaign ars practically th. sols topic of discussion both in city and county, even overshadowing the soar Id g prices of the bumper grain crop in this vicinity. Nominally this is a Democratic county and the Democrats are claiming it, soma enthusiasts saying that It will slide their way by as high as COO. whlls those mors conservative and probably nearer right think that if 100 or 200 majority is registered the party will do well. Republicans are not conceding this, however, for they claim a possi bility of a strong Hughes vote, which has been silent but firm. Practically all the Progressives are with the Re publicans and the combined vote of the two parties four years ago had a plu rality of more than 400 over the Wil son vote. This lead must be overcome by the Democrats and Republicans say it will require more changes to Wilson by Republicans and Progressives than have been indicated on the surface. Democrats started their campaign early in the Summer and whooped it hard. Republicans started early In the Fall and their followers have since been growing rapidly. Representative Sinnott will campaign for the Republicans in ths county next week, starting at Haines Tuesday night, appearing at Sumpter Wednes day night and In Baker on Thursday night. - These speakers probably will close the campaign in the county as far aw outyirje spenkera ar concerned.
