HUGHES GIVES RADIO TALKS Says Republican Victory Best Assurance of Prosperity Chicago. Oct. 29.— (A. P l—Sec­ retary of State Charles E. Hughes, in a campaign speech tonight in be­ half of the republican national tick­ et, told a large audience tha*t "the best assurance of prosperity in this country is to secure on November 4. the election of Calvin Coolidge.” Secretary Hughes, devoting a largo part of his address to a con­ sideration of proposals of the Lo "Follette-Wheeler independent plat­ form. placed emphasis upon "the most dangerous aim of the third party — its attempt to destroy our system of government by its assaults upon the iur’sdfction of the supreme court in the interpretation of the constitution." "The question, then." he said in summing up to the point. "Is whether we desire to maintain our system of government, whether we wish to have any constitutional lim­ itations.” Secretary Hughes lauded the ac­ complishment of the present admin­ istration in fiscal affairs, in the realm of foreign relationships, and for its determined attack upon the cost of government.
