It was | the part of this government to playi the role of the big brother in the Mexican trouble and by following this | policy peace has been preserved. | Lonergan then entered into an able defense of the president’s Euro- pean policy, a policy for which he has | on bitterly criticised. Mr. Wilson been termed a minority president, | the speaker, and it is true, but ent Lincoln, Speaking on the tar question, which the republicans are again rals- ing Mr. Lonergan quoted from a recent | statement of Jacob Schiff of New | York, a republican and a financier. Mr. hiff said tinkering with the tariff is the only thing that will stop the present era of prosperi The democrats have provided for the for- on of a non-partisan tariff com- mission, something that the republi- cans labored for and talked about for vears. Today their only criticism can be that they did not bring it about. Then the republicans declare that our prosperity is due to the war while statistics show that but three per cent. of our present business is directl traceable to the war in Burope. The speaker spoke bitterly of the unpa- tic citizens who are criticising the the president. He declared it to be the duty of every man to uphold the | president and not enter into any | criticism unless it be honest criticism, | for the purpose of bettering condi- | tions. Patriotic republicans are go- ing to join with patriotic democrats this fall and guided by Americanism ! ! and patriotism rather than by parti- nship and the party badge vote to Wilson for another said =0 was Pres: s for Mr, Cummine It was apparent from the moment | that Mr. Cummings was introduced | that the majority of the audience had | been awaiting him with a degree of anticipation and he was roundly ap- | plauded when he stepped to the front of the stage. Mr. Cummings was not in the best of volce last night as he is suffering from a severe cold and his first remarks were delivered ra- ther huskily but as time went on and he waxed to his subject this con- dition wore off and towards the close he was being applauded at every sen- tence. The audience on the other hand gave its closest attention to his every word and only once was there an in- terruption when a man in the bal- cony became over excited when Mr. Cummings was reciting the story of | Furopean disaster. “Why don’t you stop it?” he yelled. The speaker paid not the slightest attention to the in- { was quickly suppres | ing terruption and the excited gentleman ed by those who sat near him in the balcony. Mr. Cummings’ address in substance follows. “The achievements of the last three and a half years under the leadership of President Wilson con- stitute a record of progress hitherto unparalleled in the country, in this America of ours. We have always believed, my frlends that the more the case is argued, the more clearly the justice of our case would appear. The first assault was made some months ago by Mr. Elihu Root, but it did not seem to arouse an adequate response. Senator Lodge has tried his hand at it. Roosevelt himself has endeavored to convince the people that Wilson was wrong, but to no avail. Then the people waited for Mr. Hughes to speak. They said: ‘Here is a great intellect. Here is a man who possesses such keen powers of analysis that we will go to the supreme bench and break the su- preme bench and break the Amer- ican judicial traditions of a century and drag him into politics in order that he may endeavor to frame an indict- ment of the democratic administra- tion.” “And the country listened and they are still listening. There is not a man or a woman in this audience who is able to tell today how Mr. Hughes stands on any public issue now before the public. There is not a single human being that can tell the American people with authority what Mr. Hughes would have done if he had been president instead of Mr. Wilson or what he proposes to do if he by some unhappy chance should be elected president. Brandegee and McLean. “We have made enemies by pass- a chila labor law. Why, my friends there were conditions in thi country where little children were forced to work ten and twelve and even fourteen hours a day in the actories, mere waifs of humanity,girls as well as boys, little boys on the breakers in the coal fields of Penn- sylvania. The very life and blood of the youth of America is being coined into gold to make richer people al- ready rich beyond the dreams of avarice. We changed it. We passed a child labor bill so that the little children might have a chance for their lives—a chance to play and a chance to grow strong and a chance to be built up into sturdy American men and women. And I am ashamed to say that we have in the United States senate two United States sen- ators, one, Senator ‘Brandegee, who voted against the child labor law, and the other, Senator McLean, who ‘ducked.’ “I say to you that if I had been a senator in the senate of the United States and had had an opportunity to vote for a child labor law and had failed to register my vote in behalf of it, I would have regardeq m 1f as historically disgraced, and I would be ashamed to come before my fellow citizens and ask for their suffrage or support. That Union League Meeting. ““Oh, my friends, these reforms that we have effected have produced the most extraordinary reconciliations upon the other side that you can well imagine. Theodore has shaken the hands of Taft and the great question is, which one said ‘How do you do?’ first. The reconciliation took place in the Union League club. T recall that Mr. Roosevelt once said that the Union League club was a place fre- quented by affluent gentlemen with ‘soft bodies and harq faces.’ That is where they staged the reconcilia- tion. Anw Perkins has grasped the honest palm of ‘second story man,’ Boise Penrose of Pennsylvania. gt is a beautiful and entrancing spec- tacle. They have forgotten Arma- geddon. They have ceased to sing ‘Onward. Christian Soldiers,” and as Mr. Perkins looks about and sees Reed Smoot, Murray Crane, Boss Barnes, Penrose, Gallinger and the rest, he strikes up a new tune, ‘Hail, Hail, the Gang's all Here.’ “Now, what do these reconciliations mean? They mean a desire to re- cover power. They mean a purpose upon the part of the powerful inter- ests of this country to control again the destinies of America.

If it | bad, Mr. Hughes should say so. If it is good, he ought to have the cour- age to commend it. Can you find out how he stands on any of these ques- | tions? Is it possible for any human being to seduce Mr. Hughes into an expression of opinion upon any sub- | ject now before the people? I ven- ture to say that there is not a man or woman within the sound of my voice who can tell where Mr. Hughes stands with reference to any one of the great public questions now before the people. You ask him about the Federal Reserve act, will he repeal it or won't he? You can- not find out. You ask him whether | he will oppose the income ta did when he was governor of York. You cannot find out. You ask him whether he favors the Rural Credits law or not. You cannot find out. You ask him whether he will repeal even the Adamson law and you will find him saying “I don’t like that law and yet I believe in an ecight hour day in principle,” but whether he will stand for the law or whether he will ask for its repeal, you don't know, yet. And he has not been willing to tell you. I say, you ask him whether he would have recogniz- ed Huerta in Mexico. Silence is the response. You ask him whether he | favors intervention in Mexico. You can get no answer. The campaign has progressed since last June and you don’t know yet where Hughes | stands on any of the questions which “Speaking out in Louisville a little while ago somebody asked him what he would have done when the Lusi- tania was sunk. And it was report- ed in the papers, and I saw a great big headline Mr. Hughes Tells What He Would Have Done When The Lusitania Was Sunk, and I said, ‘Now at last, after all these months of waiting, we are going to get some in- formation on that subject’ So T read on and it appeared that some inquisitive individual had arisen in the audience and had evinced a dispo- ston to ask a queston and as soon as he raised his voice they said ‘Put him out’ And Mr. Hughes said, ‘No, don’t put him out. I want to answer that question. What is your ques- tion sir?’ And then the man said, ‘Mr, Hughes, with all due respect in the world, what would you have done if you had been president of the United States when the Lusitania was sunk? They had been doing that right along all the way across the con- tinent and every time anybody asked Mr. Hughes a leading question, his | friends said, ‘Put him out’ That is the easiest way of getting rid of the question and the man at the same time. Mr. Hughes said, ‘Let me an- | swer that question, I want to answer | that question.’ Now, of course, there wasn't anybody trying to prevent him from answering the question, and so he said, ‘I will tell you what I would bave done. Now, this is a long an- swer and it is a very complicated an- swer, and vou have got to listen very carefully or you won’t understand it. I would have had a state depart- ment which commanded the respect of the world.

Miss Ritchie who resides at 45 Buckingham St., Hartford, say: I have felt badly, had indigestion and torpid liver for a long time; felt tired out and full of malaria. My complexion was not what it should be and as time went on I felt worse instead of better. I have trled many remedies but failed to get relief. A neighbor recommended Lax-a-Tone and I have tried it and cannot indorse it too highly and it has certainly made a different woman out of me and I am pleased to recommend it.” The Lax-a-Tone man is at the Economy New England Drug Co., 868 Main St., where he is introducing this remedy to the New Britain public. the and for fear what s what carefully for I vou misunderstand for the world.
