NEW. BRITAI HUGHES DISPLEASES | WESTERN AMIRERS Want to Hear Him Tell What He Would Do Seattle, Wash., Aug 16.—Campaign- ing yesterday in the Roosevelt strong- holds of the state of Washington, Charles E. Hughes preached the do trine of firmness in the nation’s for- eign policy, to see that the lives and property of American citizens were re- spected by Reading from the democratic form of 1912, 1se protection to American cit parts of the world, he said: ‘“That is | good doctrine, and I believe in ma it real. other countries. plat- the c promising ns in all ng I do not think that in making it real we should encounter the danger of war. I would not'shrink if we did in performing our obvious duty." Mr. Hughes supplemented his belli- cose talk with another attack on the | democratic party. He was willing to | stake his judictal reputation he said, | on the statement that the so-called | “dumping clause” would prove inef- fective, and he heaped ridicule on the Say Zu Zuto| the Grocerman any hand him a nickel.

The addresses by Mr. Hughes, how- ever, except for the warlike declara- tion quoted, clung closely to the line he selected for his earlier utterances. The crowds were the largest en- countered on the trip not so large those which Theodore Roosevelt ad- dressed in 1912, but of a size that we impressive. The aprlause was gen ous. In the great stadium at Tacoma, where he talked in the afternoon, about 15,000 persons turned out to greet the candidate. Seattle’s streets were thronged, and the Arena, where the address was delivered, was filled. Dissatisfied With His Speeches. At Tacoma Mr. Hughes was intro- duced by Samuel A. Perkins, old-line republican and member of the execu- tive committee of the republican na- tional committee.

In Seattle the first meniber of t reception committee met by a repor ter offered his views with the greatest freedom. “There here,” he disap- pointed with the addresses which Mr. Hughes has made. They are getting tired of hearing him hammer and hammer at the Wilson administration and want to hear something more def- inite than general statements about upholding American honor and giving a good business administration. They are not interested so much either in being told that all citizens are human beings and should be treated as such. They want to know what he is going to do about it in so many words.” Next In importance is the talk among the republican old-line leader about the addresses Mr. Hughes ha made, in which he said he would put friends, party, and partisan diency aside to serve his country. They admit that such talk sounds good when coming from the average politi- cal orator, but they say that when coming from Mr. Hughes it has a deeper meaning, because the are satisfied that he means just he says. is a lot of talk expe- | leaders | what | 'SENATE NAVY BILL PASSED BY HOUSE | Rdministration Measure ~ Goes Through by Vote of 283 to 51 16.—The admin- almost about Washington, Au istration forces, aided by an solid republican vote, brought the acceptance in the house late yeo- terday of the senate’s big building program for the United States navy and thereby assured the passage of the biggest naval budget in the his- tory of the government.
