He again pledged himself to protect the lives and property of American citizens throughout the world if elected pres- ident. The crowd arose and cheered the nominee repeatedly Republican leaders said it was one of the best republican meetings ever held in the 'state. They feel there is a chance of capturing the electoral vote of Maryland. Mr. Hughes was introduced by General James A. Gary, postmaster- fgeneral under President McKinley fThe candidate repeated his pledge as jto Mexico: “There are certain principles that e can lay down to which we pro- ose to adhere. They are important in Mexico; they are important in .atin America; they are important hroughout the world. If intrusted with executive responsibility, I pro- fpose to adhere to them. The first is ithat we will not meddle with things hat do not concern us; the second s that we will not merely talk about ights of small states, but we will bserve them; and the third is that t will be understood that at all events he lives and property of American Jeitizens will be protected. “The position which I take as to j)all matters affecting American rights,” |he went on, “is th We want to jserve the world. We want to serve [humanity. I do not yield to any one Hn stating the lofty aspiration of our fpeople We want to live at peace in the world. We want all nations to be at peace, that the ideals of hu- manity may be realized. I want to see the organization of peace. I want to see adequate provision for the ju- dic determination of international controversies. I want to see proper provision made for councils or trib- of conciliation. I want to see te means to secure resort to tribunals. I want to see con- ferences of the nations at frequent intervals, to the end that we may have what may be described as a ne- cessary legislative changes, in order that the conditions of things, as they are, if wrong, may not unnecessarily provoke strife because they are not properly remedied. “I want to see this nation ready to perform its service by having its state department, its diplomatic in- tercourse representing the mation fhrough its very best talent. its high- es is most thoroughly trained exverts. T want to see the great people of America contribute their full pow- in that practicable way, to main- tain the peace of the world; but we cannot serve humanity unless we maintain our self-respect and hold up the dignity of our nation.” “Instead of aiding business enter- prise, they have seriously crippled it here and abroad,” Mr. Hughes assert- ed. He charged that the Underwood tariff had caused depression and un- employment, which would be found t the close of the war. The ises of the administration to aid American enterpri ad, he said, were belied by it Referring to the president’s utterances he said: “What avails such words when we fo not protect American lives and {American property abroad? The ade- guate protection of American citizens Bnd their interests abroad, according to their rights under international Jaw, is the cornerstone of a policy to promote American enterprise through- put the world. This protection has been deliberately and deplorably re- fused by this administration.” He spoke of the proposed six-power Jo to China and said that American bankers were informed that the ad- ministration did not wish them to par- ticipate “Encouragement of the ment of American interests dubbed dollar diplom he said ssomething shocking reprehensible. In v that, in respect to Ameri broad, we have had not only diplomacy without dol- but dij without sense.” Replies to Dr. ¥ Mr. Hughes Charl W.

That is the sort of encouragement Am- hs have had. hen, again, who are theso bad persons who outlaw thembelves? [ you have an American enterprisc vou have branch establish- have establishments of ann d largely b American engineers pri vou oris Am agents up American merchants, American clerks. There are the rank and file of the men who are practically performing the American duty of ‘serving the world.’ And yet, when trouble arises we leave them to be destroyed. “It is impossible to square the fine | words now used with the action of the ministration. Its policy stands out clearly. One of its ablest supporte one of the keenest minds of America and I speak of him with the most .profound respect—President Eliot, has examined the action of the admin- istration and has thus summarized the policy that it embodies: He pierces to the heart of the matter and he finds that the record of the adminis tration means this: ‘No intervention by force of arms to protect on for- eign soil American commercial and manufacturing adventurers who of their own free will have invested in foreign parts under alien jurisdiction.’ “Think of the import of that, you who represent the best genius of the world and are thinking of using it abroad. suggested are to be asked to finance the chief undertakings of the world. Think of that, merchants, salesmen, tellers, cler! and dealers, who in ‘serving the world’ take your place re- mote from your friends and safe- guards, in communities where revolu- tions are frequent and only respect for your flag and the power it symbol- izes may stand between you and ruin, or even death. ‘““Again, President Eliot says: ‘The administration has gone far to estab- lish non-intervention by force of arms for the protecton of miners and com- cial adventures in freght parts as the American policy.” “If you want to have a concrete ample of that policy, look at the rec- ord in Mexico. “Finally, President Eliot says: ‘Am- eri has now turned her back on the familiar policy of Rome and Great Britain of protecting or avenging their wandering citizens by force of arms, and has set up a quite different policy of her own.’ “Now note the characterization, ‘wandering citizens,’ ‘American com- mercial and manufacturing adve turers, ‘miners and commercial ad- venturers in foreign parts’ On the one hand we have the beautiful phrase as to the ‘best genius of the world,” on the other the stinging phrase which describes the advance guard of American enterprise in the language spoken by the administra- tion’s record as interpred by its best friends. “Who are the ‘commercial adven- turers’? Who are the ‘wandering citi- zens'? Are they a portion of those who represent American enterprise abroad? Have some been tried and outlawed without a hearing? Or does this pleasing description embrace all Americans who, representing tho best genius of the world are perform- ing the American duty of service in foreign parts? “What right had this administra- tion to change American policy as to the protection of American citizens? Was thelr platform ‘molasses to catch flies,” otherwise known as .American investors? Have they had any man- date from the American people or the slightest authority from the American people to withhold protec- tion abroad? Have they used a dele- gated power, or have they abused their authority? “Listen to the explicit words of the democratic platform of 1912, upcn which they asked the confidence of the electorate, as they now ask it, by their promises. The democratic platform said: ‘The constitutional rights' of American citizens should protect them on our borders and go with them throughout the world, and every American citizen residing or aving property in any foreign coun- try is entitled to, and must be given, the full protection of the United tes government both for himself and his property. “There is nothing here about ‘com- mercial adventurers’ and ‘wandering citizens’ and a ‘different policy.” Nor is there a limit to the kind of protec- tion thus explicitly promised. It is ‘full protection’ that American citi- zens were to have and have not had. No Force Required. “I do not overlook Mr. Eliot's ref- erence to ‘force of arms’ We are desirous—no one more than I—of aiding and maintaining the peace of the world. I believe it to be a mis- take to suppose that an adequate pol- icy of protection to the known rights of American citizens is likely to nec- essitate the actual use of force. Tha anction of force lies back of the laws and pursuits of peace. It is idle to expect that American enterprise will thrust the assurance of a policy which invites the destruction of life and property by advance notice that ne effective means will be taken to pre- vent it. Such a policy will paraly: American enterprise in the ver places where it should be promoted. “A self-respecting policy worthy of the American name, maintaining American honor, assuring protection to the known righ of American citizens under international law is absolutely necessary. That does not mean wa. It means the security of a self-respecting’ peace. It means that regard will be paid to our just demand; Tonight's address by Mr. was the second of the day The first wag dellvered at Hagerstown, Md., before an audience in the grandstand at the Interstate Fair Grounds, and was devoted largely to a discussion of the tariff, the Adamson eight-hour law, and what the nominee termed the extravagance of the present ad- ministration, Mr. Hug been written Hughes es asserted that had there in the Democratic plat- form four yea go the kind of pol- icy of non-protection of American lives and property which had been carried into effect “that party would not have had a ghost of a chance had there been six tickets in the fleld.” Speaking of the Adamson eight- hour law, he said: They told us four years ago in nt phrase of the New Freedom, in recent weeks, in vielding to demand of force and demanding without inquiry as to its ele- but the les- P jus. they have introduced us to the Slaver Think of that, you who it is | came to New Britain at the age of WELL KNOWN GROCER DIES THIS MORNING Andrew of South Main Street Had Been Il Only Since Schaefer, Sunday—Funeral Friday. Andrew Schaefer, for thirty-five vears a well known German resident of this city and for the past twenty- seven years a grocer on South Main street, died at 3:45 o’clock this morn- ing of peritonitis. The funeral will he held from his late home, 312 South Main street Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev. Dr. George W. C. Hill, pastor of the South Congregational church, will officiate and interment will be in Fairview cemetery. Mr. Schaefer was born in Saxony, Germany, fifty-three years ago and cighteen years. He worked for a few months at the Stanley Works and | then entered the employ of Lydall & Oldershaw, who at that time con- ducted a grocery store on Park street. He remained in their employ for eight years, when he entered business for bimself, opening a grocery store on South Main street. When Mr. Schae fer began is business his store was on the very outskirts of the city and be- tween his place of business and Berlin there were few houses. He prospered and as the city grew so did his busi- ness. It was not until Sunday that Mr. Sichaefer’s condition became serious. He was a sufferer from hernia and peritonitis set in, causing his death. Mr. Schaefer is survived by his wife, two sons and one daughter. They are Alfred and Frank Schaefer and Mrs, William Gallagher. He also leaves two grandchildren, Merwin and Ruth Scaefer. He was a member of Vater Jahn lodge. LK STATION BUSY. 'S’ Club Has Given Station Use of Reom for Care of Babies, Through the courtesy of the Boys' club the milk station is now in rossession of a large sunny, up-to- date room, with a white sink and all modern impravements, quarters of which New Britain may well be proud comparing more than favorably with similar stations n larger citfes. During the last month Miss: O’Dell, the nurse, has made forty calls and rrepared 450 formulas for food. The work among the babies this winter is absolutely as necessary as last sum- ber, it is just s important that they have pure milk in cold weather as in arm, and there being no day nursery here Miss O’Dell is often obliged to see that the babies have proper food while their mothers are at work. Also besides the preparation of food, is taught the care of the babies them- selves, New Britain people hav proved their generosity so well this summer it is hoped the statian will not suffer this coming winter for lack of sup- port, for the work can only be done in a thoroughly efficient maner E heing continued through the entire year. .

Persorally, Selectman Johnson seems to favor the appoint- ment of a patrolman to do duty at the center every night. Nevertheles he is not anxious to take the initiative and it is lkely that he will make no move In view of the failure of the voters to offer instructions. The need of better police supervision of the center is generally recognized and | while the selectmen realize the value | of a regular officer's services they are not anxious to make an appoint- ment without receiving instructions | from the voters.
