Tho governor was given and ova
tion when he concludod his speech.
Declaring tho Republican party
was a party of progross and stability,
Mr. HAjghes, In his speech, commend
ed tho administration of President
Roosovolt as ono "which to a dogree
almost unprecedented has Jmprossod
tho popular Imaglnntlonnnd won
tho confidence of tho pooplo." The
country, ho said, wns undor lasting
obligation to Mr. Roosovolt for his
vigorous opposition to abuses and for
tho strong Impulse ho has given to
movements for their correction.
Opposes Government Ownership.
Mr. Hughes assorted his unquali
fied opposition to government own
ership of railroads, but said thut
regulation of lntorstato transporta
tion is essontlnl to protect the pooplo
from unjust discrimination. As a
moans of rallroud supervision the
governor suggestod an administrative
board. Tho govornor declared that
tho Sherman antl-tmst act should be
clarified and be made moro explicit;
that tho law may bo made stronger
and moro effectivo by being madtf
moro definite.
"I am not In favor of punishment
in the shapo of Anew, upon corpora
tions, except for minor offenses. Tho
burden of fines imposed upon such
corporations is oither transferred to
tho public or is borno by the stock
holders," deolarad Mr. Hughe.

Revision of thearlfT was advised
by Mr. Hughos, who suggests that
the readjustment of schedules be ef
fected by an export commission, so
that the facts be ascortalnod without
delay and that congress may dispose
of the matter In the fairest possible
manner.
Mr. Hughes declared he' did not
boUovo In arbitrary aotlon, and that
tho rule of the people must je a ru:e
of reason and every offort must be
dominated by a sense of justice.
In addition he approve rate leg
