WILSON WARNED OF PENDINGR. R, STRIKE That Is New Claim of Hughes in Saratoga Speech Saratoga Springs, N. —The republican state after adopting a platform ihe president’s method of the threatened nation-wide strike was condemnsd, listened last nflg,”lt to a speech by Charles E. Hughes in which the candidate for president made the Adamson Eight- hour law the paramount issue of his ampaign. Referring to President Wilson, not name but as the “Executive,” Mr. ghes in effect charged that the esident had told a wilful untruth asserting that the country had een faced unawares by a cris emanded the passage of the le fon. He produced documenta dence to support his assertion that the administration and Prcsident Wil- son personally was urged by the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, weeks before the actual threat of a strike was made by the railroad brotherhoods, to start an inquiry would avoid just such a cris findlly did confront the cofintr; Mr. Hughes was honored with a demonstration lasting eleven minutes when he appeared with Mrs. Hughes on the platform of the great con- vention hall where he was nominated for governor in 1906 and 1908, the Arst time, so political history - re- lates, at the order of Theodore Roose- vel§ who ‘was then president and who today is supporting Mr. Hughes for that office. There were grouped on the plat- form with him Governor Whitman, who presided at the meeting, and most of the republican leaders. There 'were few ex-progressives in sight. John W. McGrath, political assistant to George W. Perkins, occupied a seat at the press table. He had come to the convention with the demand that the progressives have eight of the presidential electors to be nom- inated or there would be a fight. While definite action on this issue was delayed until Oct. 3, there is little doubt that the concession will be made. It was a subject of comment that not once in his address did Mr. @ Hughes refer to Governor Whitman or any other candidate on the state ticket. Mr. Whitman, who intro- duged Mr. Hughes, started out on what promised to be an elaborate Jaudatory address. When he men- tioned the name of Mr. Hughes the crowd rose and cheered. The nom- inee stepped to the front of the plat- form and began to speak as soon as .the demonstration ended. The meeting, with its county organizations and cheer leaders, provided plenty of noise. It gave Mr. Whitman one min- ute and thirty seconds of applause. Answers Olney Attack. Y., Sept. 29. conference, in which averting railroad as s which ; that | the Adamson legislation with a ref- orence to the recent statement by Richard Olney supporting the presi- dent, and made this assertion, which caused enthusiastic cheering: “Mr. Olney says that I doffed the judicial ermine to wear the motley arb of a sceker for office. I say to him, 1 did doff the judicial ermine and I admit that you know, and every American knows that it fell from my i shoulders unsullied. “No American need apologize for being a candidate for office, least of all 1. I desired to remain on the bench, I had no desire to return to politics, but there came a summons which no honorable man could re- fuse. I did assume the garb, call it motley or what you will, of a seeker of office, and 1 am now before American people seeking the highest office in its gift. For what purposc? Not that I covet power, but I do covet the opportunity, if it is afforded, to maintain American rights and American honor.” While speaking, Mr. Hughes made vigorous gestures and paced up and on the platform. As he con- cluded his reply to Mr. Olney the au- dience of 5,000 persons rose, cheered and waved banners. Mrs. Hughes seemed deeply aifected by the demon- | stration. What Mr. Hughes said was | taken as his answer to those who have criticised him for ‘‘dragging the Su- preme Court of the United States into politics.” After the demonstration Mr, Hughes | continuea: the | ““Our distinguished former secretary has made some observations with respect to American rights. He | makes a mistake in assuming or suggesting that the criticism of tho administration’s foreign policy ls, as he puts it, ‘that our peace is a peace | without honor,” saying that ‘if our ! national honor had been consulted, the United States would be fighting.' We have no occaslon to get into war with respect to known rights that any | nation will respect if we know how to convince that nation that we are firm in maintaining them. “I like Mr. Olney’s pen as a secre- | tary better than his pen as an apo!- | ogist. We have no convincing sign that we meant to enforce rights. That is the difference between resolution in fact and resolution in theory.” Assault on White House. In his attack upon the president in ! connection with the Adamson law, Mr. | Hughes quoted this passage from the | president’s address to congress of | Aug. 29, asking that the legislation ! be adopted which followed a declara- tion by the executive that he yielded to no man in his belief in arbitration: “But matters have come to a sud- den crisis in this particular dispute, and the country has been caught un provided with any practicable means of enforcing that conviction in prac- tice, (by whose fault we will not now stop to inquire). Mr. Hughes developed his argument in this wa. ‘A distinguished democrat, a for- mer secretary of state, (Mr. Olney), whom I have always admired and spected and whose record presents a singular contrast to that of the pr ent administration, sorings to its de- fense in its hour of trial.

He says, re- ferring to the recent railroad situation that I object not to the ‘averted! strike,” but to the ‘mode of- its ac-| complishment, to wit: by the threat of a strike within a time too short for due consideration of necessary legislation.’ “I am not prepared to admit the | necessity of wage increase by law. But | I do object in every fibre of my being to legislation under duress. I object | to the surrender of the executive force. That is the path of disas- ter. If the distinguished ex-secretary of state desires to take the nation! along that path, I will not accompany him. ‘“Hs asks why T did not urge ‘twen- ; ty-eight republican senators to fili- buster to the last ditch.”' Well, I do not believe in filibustering, for one | thing. If congress through its major- | ity determined to pass the bill thare was no reason whatever why its ac- tion should be merely delayed by fili- bustering. Arguments along this line really come to this, that in some v the administration should have been saved from itself. ‘““The truth is that the executive destroyed the moral strength of the situation when he threw up his hands, yielded the principle of arbitration and went to congress demanding the railway wage bill as the price of peace. Congress, so far as the moraie of the situation was concerned, rati- fled a surrender already made. ‘“The administration chose its ground; it selected its ground.care- fully and with a manifest view to partisan expediency. In the closing days it acted with swiftness and it cannot now cry that a republican can didate a thousand miles away should have saved it from carrying out its fixed determination.” Mr. Hughes then read this extract from a letter, date July 29, 1916, to President Wilson from Harry A. Wheeler, chairman of the committee on the railroad situation of the cham- ber of commerce of the TUnited States: “I feel constrained to bring to your attention a matter in connection with the controversy between the railroads and the tralnmen’s brotherhoods in the hope that you will see fit to start an inquiry on behalf of the adminis tration as to the near approach of an actual crisis In the matter and to | verify the statement which I herewith submit.” | Then Mr. Hughes continued with the reading of the correspondence, which he gave as proof that the ad- ministration had been warned in time to prevent the ‘“crisis” which the president asserted had faced the coun- try. In additfon to this attack, Mr Hughes built up his criticism of the | administration step by step, as he had done in previpus addresses. He charged that the democrats presented a record of broken promises, and named them one by one. He referred to the “welcome home” as the hap- plest event of his campaigning days. City ltems Harrle E.
