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 They are withdrawn from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.

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.
