a revised sehedulo that wil! enable
liim to deliver an evening address at
Billings, Mont., tonight. Mr. Hughes
hnd not intended to leave here until
5:47 o'clock thin morning, but found
flint ho could necoiumodate his Kchod
ule to the change and accordingly left
at one o'clock thin morning.
' The strain of campaigning has se
riously affected the nominee's voice,
which was so hoarse rit times during
his speech here last night that ho had
to stop frequently for a few seconds
at a time. ..Mr. Hughes is trying to
overcome the hoarseness incidental
to unaccustomed continuous speaking
by not talking on the train, except
when imperative.
, The ride across the North Dakota
plains to the Montana line was broken
by a sories of short stops. The first
of these was nt Bismurk, for ten
minutes. At Mundan and at Dickin
son two minute stops are on the
schedule. At Medora, where Theo
dore Roosevelt spent part of his early
Kfc on a ranch; a five minute stop is
to bo made. Two minute stops are
Scheduled nt (llendive, Miles Cit and
Forsythe, Montana. The party is due

i FARGO. N. D.. Aug. 11. Chas. E.
Hughos last night assailed the pres
ent administration for Inefficiency,
Waste and extravagance particularly
lth reference to the river and harbor
bill recently passed by congress.
"I think I may Bay without rash
ness" Mr. Hughes told a vast audience
hero, "that the government of the
United States Is recklessly wasteful,
Bhamefully Incompetent and extrav
agant, a reproach to the Intelligence
of the people because of Its ineffic
iency. "I would like to have the authority
to Investigate this administration for
about six months," the nominee con
tlnued. "The rivers and harbors bill
known to the people as the pork bar-
roll bill," Mr. Hughes said, "Is large
ly money wasted, as there Is no ex
pert examination to determine what
expenditures are needed.
"On tho contrary, it very largely
depends on who are the Influential
irien representing particular districts
and what appropriations are obtained
Jn this district and that district for
this man and that man.
"This Is a matter of log rolling. It
brings a blush of shame to the cheeks
of every American. It ought to be
stopped, if I am elected president, to
the best of my ability, I propose to
stop It." I
. Mr. Hughes declared the pork bar
ren bill of 1914 was "talked to death
by Senator Burton, a fine republican"
and that the 1915 bill was reduced
materially because of the opposition
of republicans and conscientious democrats.
"This year, just tho oilier day," the
nominee continued, "congress passed
a rivers and habors bill of some t42,
1)00,000. I confess I don't know why
such a measure should receive ap
proval. We have heard a great deal
lately of the power of executive lead
ership. It has been powerfully exert
ed. Why can It not be exerted to
save the public purse from being loot.
ed In the Interest of these ridiculous
appropriations?
"Four years ago our opponents ar
raigned the republican party for ex
travagance and waste and reckless
expenditure. Then they proceeded to
be more lavish In appropriations than
tho republican party had been.' They
arraigned the republican party for
lack of businesslike administration
and then they proceeded to be abso
lutely profligate in their appropria
tions. "Now, I have no apologies for re
publican extravagance. I am Just as
quick to condemn that which Is
wrong in my own party as I am any
where else. I don't stand for what
I don't believe to be right, simply be
cause It 1b under the banner of a par.
ticular party."

"Conscious of our strength and In

known that the entente powers, under

full responsibility for further blood

NEW YORK, Aug. 11. The, epi-r;
domlo of Infantile pralysls showed
another slight decline today and the
health experts, who are fighting the
scourge here were more hopeful that
the cool weather which relieved the
city yesterday would materially chock
tho spread of the plague. The dally
bullotln of the health department
shows that during the 24-hour jie
rlod which ended at 10 a., m;3l
children died of the disease and 165
new cases were reported In the five
boroughs of New Y irk city. These
tlguros compare hopefully with yes

by the plague and I7fl stricken.
