ORKC.OX, FRIDAY, ATTiTST 1S, HUGHES TALKS GENERALITIES AT MEDFORD Republican Candidate Speaks From Rear of Train to Audience of 1000 er.ce Greets Remarks and Reception Is as Chilly as the Day Tariff and Preparedness Dwelt Upon. Charles E. Hughes, republican candidate for president, spoke to a crowd of about 1000 people, who gathered between snowers on the railroad right of way at the Medtord depot Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock, while applause greeted the appearance of the candidate, silence greeted his remarks and his recep tion was as chilly as the day. Not a moment was wasted as the train drew to a standstill and S. S. Smith, manager of the Hughes cam paign In Southern Oregon In a single sentence Introduced the distinguished speaker to the crowd. Mr. Hughes began "My friends", but was for a moment interrupted by exclamations of delight from Mrs. Hughes, who was receiving numerous handsjuic hoquets of roses at the sodc of the car platform, so the presidential can didate, with hardly a percoptlble pause, began again: Talks of IhmsiHTlty. "My friends. Mis. Hughes is mak ing a speech now and 1 will wait till she Is done. We have had a very happy Journey through the State of Oregon and 1 am particularly glad to visit this famous valley. I hope that you will have the prosperity that you deserve. "We are all linked together In this country and we are going to go up or down together and enjoy a com mon destiny, and my desire Is that we shall have such policies enforced in this country as will secure per manently a sure basis for prosperity. "I come to you as the spokesman of the republican party, and we stand firmly and frankly for the applica tion of the doctrino of protection ot American industry. Wo desire to see in hto great economic war lu which we are surely to be plunged at the end of the great conflict abroad, that America shall hold her own In a competition which will bo un doubtedly severe. Change After llio War. "Wo desire that our prosperity shall not be based upon the European war, but shall rest securely upon American policy. There are millions on the other side now engaged in Btrlfe. They are withdrawn from productive enterprise. They have to be fed, clothed and supplied with a great variety of commodities which America makes, hence our exportu tlons have risen and in many parts of tho country, there has been an artificial prosperity produced by the withdrawal of these men. Tho situa tion will change very quickly when they return to work and when Eu rope begins her production once more with better trained and disciplined and nations better organized than ever before. Wo shall feel very keenly then the stress of their competition. "If you would know what shape we are in to meet this competition, ou want to consider conditions as they existed after the Underwood Tariff bill was passed and before this time. Incident to the war began. Then we had unemployed through out the land, then we hail hard times. Now wo can correct that. It Is not all necessary that we should go from one extreme to tho other or that should have abuses. Want Protective Tariff. "What we want Is slralghttorward dealing with the facts of life, but we want a proper principle, we want to be honestly devoted to rlie protective principle applied to American indus try. That I believe. I do not believe out opponents do believe In it. They are a little shy in talking now on tariff for revenue only and at heart they are not friendly to the principle which I believe Is essential to Ameri can prosperity. "Not alone do I :::!: for that con. servatlon of all American interests, which is represented by that doctrine of our party, but I stand for the maintenance of the honor of the American flag and for the honor of the American name. (Applouse). 1 desire that we shall be respected' be cause wo respect ourslves. W are not In danger of war, we are not in danger of serious difficulty, we are In danger, however, If we allow others to misunderstand us and to think that really we are not firm about our American rights, when in fact, the American public has the same old Indomitable spirit today that it had in the past. That should be understood, and when it is under stood, and when It is understood that wo do not meddle In what does not concern us, but maintain our rights, w e shall have an honorable peace and a permanent security. "I believe In being adequately pre pared, not for tho purpose of aggres sion, but for the purpose of defence, a preparation which shall ensure a proper respect from all the nations of the earth. I'jMm Preparedness. And I believe In an efficient and competent administration of tho va rious departments of our govern ment, not administration for the pur pose of granting favous or of paying political debts. We do not want mere words on the statute book, w-e want an American government, great In deeds. "I wish I could tell you how Im portant this Is to be in the future. When we see tho nations of the earth learning economy, learning to curtail waste and extravagance, we are forced to the conclusion that we, too, must learn this hard lesson. We can no longer be wasteful in this country. We have got to learn how 'to count the cost and to be prudent land businesslike lu government, j "1 have no interest in the mere holding of s.n office. A man does I not even get a decent line In a history ! by merely holding an office. It Is 'accomplishing something for the J American people that makes office worth while and without that it is a 'mockery to the man who holds it. I jam before you with no illusions. but with an Intense desire to be of service if the American people de sire that service." j At the conclusion of the speech, jMr. Hughes shook hands from the ;traln with as many as the limited time permitted.

Gardner Says General Opinion in Washington Is That Candidate Is Making Weak Campaign Neglect ing Vital Issues and Dodges Impor tant Subjects for Trivial Matters. DISSOLUTION' NOTICE. Notice la hereby 'given that the firm of Holmes and Jensen has been dissolved. All bills due and payable will be settleif by J. Jensen. (Signed) J. JENSEN. By GILSON GARDNER. WASHINGTON, Aug. 18. That Charles E. Hughes is making a weak campaign is tlte opinion almost uni versally expressed in Washington. It is noted, for example, that Hughes neglected to mention woman suf frage In Illinois, w here several thous and women will this fall east their first vote for president; that he has talked economy, instead of social jus tice that might interest progressives; that he Is discussing the federal budget iustead of preparedness and putting In his heaviest licks on demo cratic "extravagance" and the "pork barrel." He Is advocating "good men in of fice" and saying nothing about the Shields hill; he is talking about "non-politlcnl diplomatic appoint ments," and neglecting to mention evasions of the income tax; he is urging "more businesslike methods" In the census bureau, but omitting to say what he thinks of child labor, the Phelan oil grab, the repeal of the free sugar law, publicity of income tax returns, the enforcement of the Standard C.l decision, the eight hour law for federal workers; work man's compensation, conservation, the enforcement of the seaman's law, government ownership of Alaskau ships and railways, government man ufacture of armor plate and muni tions of war, and several other mat ters which would be more contem poraneous and important to his listeners than the "swat-thc-fly" stuff he Is getting off. Steel Industry Profit. "The steel Industry." says the monthly bulletin of the National City Hank, "is working at high pres sure and earnings for the last six months have been phenomenal. The net earnings or the United States Steel Corporation for the second quarter of the year were S 1,000, 000, and for the third quarter are likely to be more rather than less." The bulletin does not mention the iron miners' strike In the steel trust's Messaba range mining coun try, .where 15,000 miners have now quit lu an effort to secure decent working conditions. In discussing general labor condi tions, the bulletin adds; "It Is a de plorable fact that there are circum stantial and authentic reports to show that labor in some instances, instead of being Inspired by higher pay to the greater productiveness, is becoming less efficient. In one in stance under our observation, a large employer whose attitude toward i labor Is that of serious consideration, reports that after raising wages three times within a year, the output per man is in serious degree less than be fore. The superintendents in imme diate charge of operations attribute these results to Indifference, loss of discipline and the fact that other jobs can be easily had." . t .. State Hights IkxtrllHV 1 . The doctrine of "states rights," which for years was the .particular asset of the southern statesman, is inoculating northerners. Senator Dil lingham of Vermont opposed the child labor bill because of this states rights theory. He was paired against the bill. They are equally guilty, however.
