Several times Mr. Wil son stood nnd bowed, while the bnnd plnyed. "We wniil Wilson," shouted the erowil. Mr. Wilson deeinred at the outset that a pnliiienl eninpai.un seriously inlcifcied with the consideration of puhlir ojicsiioii-.. He said that he de sired his audience to t'oriet for the lime hein.u that a enmpa!Lru was on. "What 1 have come to say," he said. want to sny in an atmosphere of rnhnne. SieaUs of Business.

On the tai'ii'L' the president said he did not I'ear lo say that previously tnril't laws had been founded on the ories, lie did not fear the investiga tion of the facts by the tariff com mission. "It will look for the facts, no mat ter whom il harts," he said. The president said he did not care whose opinion was contradicted: he wanted the tariff commission to thor oughly investigate fureiiMi trade. Tan American Policy. Amid thunderous applause the president declared one of his chief objects hail been to see that nothing was done to interfere with the friend -Jy relations between the I'nited Stales and Latin Amoiien. "We ha-ve swunir out into a new business era in America," continued the nre-nlent. ''now nnr business has extended to the whole world. Our trade has burst its jacket. We have realized that American business men did not have enough ships to carry t heir ji'oods." The president, speaking slow I v. turned to a discussion of the bankinti system of the I'nited States.

COMES TO HALT Mackenscn's Effort to Break Russo- Rumanian Lines Ends in Deadlock Success for Allies in Transyl vaniaBad Weather Checks Fight ing on Nearly All Fronts. LONDON, Sept. 2.", Latest reports regarding the Important campaign in the Rumanian province of Dobrudja Indicate a lessening in the Intensity of the struggle between the Invading nnnies of the central powers and the Russians and ltiimnuians lacing them. Field Marshal von Mackenscn's In itial attempt to break the allied lines formed to defend the Constanza- Tchornaveda railroad evidently has failed, the opposing armies now are apparently deadlocked along the front from the Danube to the Black sea. The current statement from Bucharest announces only artillery duels along the Danube. H declares, however, that the Rumanians have made some progress on their left flank, which rests on the sea coast. In Transylvania. In their invasion of Transylvania the Rumanians . report success In an attack at Hermannstadt, where .100 men and five machine guns were cap tured. Nearly 7,00n prisoners have been taken by the Rumanians so far In their Transylvanian campaign. Today's official statement from Petrograd declaring no events of im portance have occurred along the Russian or Causasus fronts, is one of the laconic sort customarily issued by the war office when decisive results in pending operations are lacking. It is probable, however, that adverse weather conditions are playing an Im portant part in shaping events, ham pering the activities of the combat ants In various fields. Official reports and private dis patches indicate that the fall rains are Interfering with the progress of hostilities on virtually all the battle fronts. In mountainous regions such as the Alpine districts and the. Cau casus, cold weather and snow add to the difficulties of the combatants. Russian Offensive. PARIS, Sept. !.". Russian troops on the western end of the Macedon ian front took the offensive last night. The war otfice announced to day that they had captured Hill 91 6 west of Fiorina, which had been forti fied strongly by the Bulgarians. A Bulgarian counter attack was checked by French and Russian artillery and bayonets, French artillery fire caused an out break of flames in Foiran and French troops made progress on their left wing. On the Bi-oda river, Ser bian troops reached the frontier and French Infantry made a slight ad vance to the north of Fiorina. Kntonte Repulsed. SOFIA, Sept. 2.-,. The Bulgarians have successfully defended Kaimakn calan height on the westerly side of the Macedonian battle front, against repeated attacks by entente forces, the war office announced today. Suc cessive assaults were delivered yes terday on the Bulgarian positions, but in each case the attacking forces, although they closely approached the Bulgarian trenches, were unable to penetrate them, and fell back with heavl losses. F.ntente troops which attacked vil lages on the eastern hank of teh Struma, were forced by the Bulgar ians to retreat across the stream. Quite Along Sominc. PARIS, Sept. 25.

MEDFORD F FOR FUTURE OF Possibilities of Agitation and Dis turbance Alarm Candidate Driv ing Power of Patriotism Necessary Sense of Comradeship Needed Republicans Party National Honor. DAYTON, O., Sept. 2S. The I'nit ed States, Charles K. Hughes today told an audience of Civil war vete rans, will not endure unless each gen eration stands firmly lor the dignity of American citizenship and the honor of the flag. "What I most want to see In this country," Mr. Hughes said, "is to have our young men, our middle aged men, al lour men and our women, too, fired with the patriotic spirit of CI. "You veterans aided in preserving the union nt a critical time, but In a very true sense every generation must preserve the union. We are still a very young country as compared with empires of the past that have fallen from decay. We cannot be pre served alone by the valor of our ancestors, by those of an earlier day, but we can, indeed, be preserved If we keep alive their spirit. Patriotism Is XociUmI. 'As 1 look to the future and great ly desire that we should find solution for the economic problems of our country, I am deeply impressed with tho fact that we must have a driving power of progress, of love for our country. Whatever our race, whero- ever we spring from, wherever our fathers were, bor.n, wo must have np Intense devotion to our country, the United States, if we are going ahead In tho troublous days of the twentieth century and hold our nation where II belongs in the front ranks of the na tions of tho world. "Surely, my rriends, yon must look Into the future with some con cern as you think- of the possibilities of agitation and disturbance In this land. Wo, you and I, so far as I could, labored in the past for the preservation of the union, but he union of states must be typirnl of a union of spirit. We must have a sense of comradeship that is very real. Labor in all its activities, must feel that Its work is signified by jus tice. l'enr llistnrltmice. "I look to the United States of the future as being a nation -with gov ernmental policies which will main tain general prosperity as a nation compared for every emergency. "We seek peace, but we are firm in the determination that wo will enforce our rights and have peace with honor and security. "The republican party has been the party of national honor. In our Inter national relations under republican administration the dignity and pres tige of the United States has been of the highest." Mr. Hughes had Intended to de liver four addresses here today, but the throat specialist accompanying him vetoed the arrangement. The nominee will deliver one more ad dress in Dayton at the auditorium tonight. His voice seemed to have improved greatly today. PERSHING TO BE El WASHINGTON, Sept. 2").

IIOWK, tA'ithor of "Socialized tlermuny," Why War?" etc.) Two great issues confront Ihe country. These issues are democracy or imperialism on the one hand, and industrial Justice or the ascendency of privilege and monopoly on the oilier. These issues are reflected in the policies and public actions of the two candidates for the presidency, Woodrow Wilson and Charles K. Hughes. The Mexican situation is hut an Incident in a thoroughly well organ ized nnd financed effort to commit the country to dollar diplomacy or financial Imperialism, which is one of the big causes lying back of the apparent causes of the present Kuro peau war. The financial interests that have laid the country prostrate before monopoly are now seeking to extend their power to the outside world. To do this, high finance needs a party to serve its purposes; a state department that will lend its aid and its diplomatic agents to the promo tion of loans, the securing of conces sions nnd privileges, and when neces sary Ihe army and navy to collect its debts. Cry for Intervention. II is this that lies hack of the cry of tho interests for' Intervention in Mexico. .' , President Wilson has refused to permit the youth of America, Mu diplomatic .agents, or the army and navy to lie used for theso purposes. One of his official acts was to repu diate dollar diplomacy in Central America and In connection with the five-power loan to China, lie pre vented intervention in .Mexico at the e'emand of interventionists, interested in oil, copper, silver and gold, timber tobacco and other plantation owners, who desired tho army of the Fnlted States should be placed at their ser vice to validate their shady claims. The domestic policy of President "Wilson has been In harmony with the same democratic policy. It has made for social and industrial justice. It has freed business and industry by the enactment of Uih federal reserve act, which has placed the credit, re sources of the country under govern ment control. It has ended panics, and opened up hanking resources of the nation to thofe who need iv.Hii taure. Industry Is freer than it has ';een for a generation, while credit Is cheapened and tho rale of interest reduced, Tne rural credits measure ha.- opencd np cheap and secure credits to tho iPrmers of the country.
