'Hughes, Republican candidate for the t presidency, led the assault on the pres ent administration at the Union League club last night. He was followed by . former President Theodora Roosevelt and Wllltam K. Taft Introduced by Ellhu Root, Mr. Hughes said in part: y "We have beard in recent days that : 4 Pie alternative or the policy of the pres ent administration Is wsr. I think the alternative of the policy of the pres ent administration is peace with honor. "We are not courting struggle, but T do say with all seriousness that we ,have been living in a period of no tional humiliation. ,; ' j, "Our ettlsena have been murdered, their property destroyed and our com- merce interrupted. The alternative of J a weak and vacillating- policy is not J war j it la a firm insistence upon known rights In a world where all Bu llions desire our friendship and we de slre the friendship of all, and where enly the most inexcusable blundering ! could drag us into strife.

I "Our eltlaens were left without pro sper protection by their government 'while this administration that boasts ithat It has kept us out of war .plunged us into an ignoble personal p war, 4n violation of every principle of 1 International law. It will be long ba ft fore we will cease to reap the fruits !of that folly. "What Is the use of this admini stration talking- to Amerioan business 5 men with respect to the advancement I of American enterprise, whan those who had their Investments in Mexico had to flee at their own risk because I their own aovernment would not ...

Mr. Hughes. He said "No man has a right to claim spir itual kinship with Abraham Lincoln if ha is too proud to fight. Fifty odd years ago there were men in this coun try who war too proud to tight, but they were not found in this club and they did not vote for Abraham Lincoln. . "Fifty-odd years ago there were men tn the nation that were too proud to fight the foe of the nation, but they were perfectly willing to fight the police, and the draft riots resulted, '"Now. in the greatest crisis that wo have seen since the Civil war. In the greatest crisis of the world as a whole that the world has seen since the Napoleonic wars. It is our duty and privilege to stand once more for the principles for which the men of the early '60s, who founded this club, stood; to stand for peace, honorably and sincerely by every honorable ex pedient, but to stand for it in that effective way which means that the standing; for it asks it as a right In the spirit of Justice, and does not cringe for it as a favor to be granted contemptuously by a wrong-doer. Oalla Sastnarlae Warfare Harder. "At this moment we are informed that in the German reichetag there is a debate going forward as to whether or not they will resume what they call the U-boat warfare what I call mur der on the high seas . of men, women and children. And you can guarantee that there would be no debate on that subject , If tbey knew that they had aa president of the United States a man who would not tolerate any kind of action of "that sort. "Mr. Wilson's speech last Saturday was an invitation to foreign powerajo do whatever they wished, because, if he were in power, they need not be afraid. "As Mr. Hughes has pointed out this evening, Mr. Wilson Is praised for the most part by people with shoulders that slope like a champagne bottle, by people with timid hearts and quaver ing voices, "who say that-he has kept us out of war. ays Hughes Will "Kept us out of war? He has kept us In three little wars that I can nafna. Twice we have bean put Into wars with Mexico, and once we have waged a war with Haiti, once with Ban Domingo. San Domingo and Haiti did not frighten the adminis tration, and with, them we have valiantly weeded war. "We can be certain that with Mr. Hughea as president, our people will be protected in their lives, in foreign lands or on the high seas, that our people will be protected in their property In foreign lands or on the high seas. And we can rest assured that If Mr. Hughes is president tho executive of the nation will be terror ised by no one, whether from abroad or at home." Taft Agreee With Soosevelt. "I concur," Mr. Taft said, following Mr. Roosevelt, "in the view of Mr. Roosevelt, that this election is the most Important that we have had in thla country aince the Civil war Our Protect. adversaries ' rely ' on an appeal that we have not been put Into war whan It waa aofc necessary tor to fa to war at ana rateand that we hart now great lewiporary prosperity. "Have we been kept out of wart is the treatment that wo have given Mexico ana that aaaures peace T Had we. allowed Mexico to work out her owa salvation, aa we have been told tn the-Indianapolis speech wa ought to do than we should sot be resoponsjble, as we are now, for conditions that pre vail in Mexico; and. therefore, when this war is over the policy we- have pursued in Mexico is going to follow us. and wa may have to answer for our desire" to punish one person, and nave to rule over them and who they may not have. I do not consider thut keeping us out ox war." T. R. AND TAFT SHAKE HANDS, BUT THAT'S ALL aa ernor Forbes of the Philippines.

Mr. Barnes then arose from his eat, left the room and went Into the library. Hia action was noticed and freely commented upon by hundreds In the room.

Both were pallbearers. They formally shook banda, but it was noticeable Mr. Taft was first to extend his hand at that time, .while Colonel Roosevelt cordially grasped It. Their next meet ing was at the funeral of Whitelaw Reld In, this city, when no greeting were exehana-ed. Political XiUZBinarlea There. Political luminaries from near and far attended the reception, which had been arranged in honor of Mr. Hughea There waa one exception William Barnes, Republican leader of Albany. Mr. Barnes did not appear until 11 o'clock, when the reception was over and the tpsechmaklng- waa in full blast. " Colonel Roosevelt had let It be known he would even clasp handa with Mr. Barnes his bitterest political enemy if Mr. Barnes should see fit to extend his hand first. But there was nu nsed for lfa, The occasion did not even arise. Oolemal Wonld Make Vo Comment. Senator Boise Penrose waa among those greeted by the colonel, who gave him a smile and a cordial handclasp. Colonel Roosevelt would make no comment on his meeting- with ilr, Taft. He referred to a speech made by Abraham Lincoln in which the martyred preaident said; "He would go with anybody who waa right and go with them as long aa they were right, which is the least any American fcitlsen could dx" Mr. Taft said: "The colonel and myself simply met as one - gontleman would, meet another gentleman." It Was generally -understood the meeting had no significance other than might have been attached to their meeting- at the funeral of Pro fessor Lounsberry. There were no "goodbyes." The assembled political leaders -were given to understand the situation had no bearing upon the past aad future relations of the two men, More Than 1000 In Building.
