- ‘HUGHES WILLWIN, HUGHES ADMITS 1T Indiana Reception Gives Candidate Assurance—What He Said Terre Haute, Ind., Nov. 2.—Charles E. Hughes closed his campaign of the x_niddle west yesterday at an old- fashioned political rally here the pro- portions of which were accepted by him as a prophecy of victory in In- diana and in the nation. Marching clubs came here from miles around. After the parade had been under way fifteen minutes, Mr. Hughes took his place in line, stand- ing up In his automobile. As an es- cort he had 400 members of a rail- road men’s club. In front of the dele- gation, on a float, was a miniature locomotive and banner bearing words deriding President Wilson for the Adamson eight-hour law. There were fully 50,000 persons in the crowd which llned Main street, and Mr. Hughes recelved much applause all along the route. Much at Stalze. In his speech &t the Wigwam Mr. Hughes said: “We have soe respect for law and order In this country, and I tell you ' that every workingman has more at stake In that than anybody else in the community. There is no one that has so much at stake in the orderly pro- cesses of government as the plain man, who has nothing but his wages ! between him and serious distress and wkat we want in this country- I stop here to say that I understand that word has gome out through la- bor circles in officlal channels to vote against me, and I know perfectly well that I am saylng a profound truth, and every union labor man knows it— that nobody can direct or control the labor vote of this country. That vote is going to be cast according to its sound judgment, according to its sound judgment, according to what the men think is right and fair. This is an American government, and our workingmen are the best citizens we have, because they are producing and working, and I have the utmost con- fidence ir the freedom of their judg- ment, accordmg to their conscience, uncontrolled by any power. ‘“We have been hearing of late some- thing or other about what has been done for labor, and some have begun Fecently to labor. We have had talk ebout an eight-hour workday bill. The Adamson bill was not an eight-hour workday bill. Things that are right can go by their right names. Things that are right do not have to trade on improper designations. You do not have to resort to masqusrade or gubterfuge if you are right upon the merits.” - Predicts His Election. It had been a day of big, hearty receptions wherever the nominee’s train stocpped. At the end of the dem- onstration here Mr. Hughes said: “I am leaving Indiana after what is perhaps the most wonderful reception ever given to a candidate for the % sidency. This splendid tribute was to me personally, but as the rep- ntative of the great, united re- lican party moving forward to vic- and service for the nation. The 1 of Indiana have organized a ole’s victory, and I want to thank leaders of the reunited party for r effective work.” \ his speech, Mr. Hughes reviewed stand on American rights, the tar- the Adamson eight-hour law, ef- nt government, ond. other issues. then made this prophecy: Vothing is more striking in the se of a political campaign tn this itry than the way in which the srican people gradually form their rment. We have at the outset y confusing voices, and in the 'Sse of the campaign there are y extravagant claims and preten- s put forward, but the American >le Tecognize, as the campalgn sresses, the dominant issues that ‘ern their welfare. You can be that in the long run the Amer- people do not make a mistake respect to what is necessary to r prosperity and the future of . country. ‘s have felt in these days a grow- sentiment. There has been a perceptible current of opinion, it gives me an assurance that the :rican people have been sifting the UBLIC NOTICE!

If I un- derstand myself, I am here anxious to serve the whole people of the United States, and what I have to say is just as important to the interests of democrats g8 to the interests of the republicans.” New Eight-Hour Bill Attack. Taking up the issues one by one Mr. Hughes developed a new angle in his attack on the Adamson bill. He | was informed, he saild—from what source he did not explain—that the general chairman had advised the lo- cal chairman of “the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Engineers” of the Pennsylvania lines east that the Adamson bill in establishing a new basis for reckoning wages would elim- inate the payment of all arbitraries { based upon time when made within the first eight-hour period of service. This e cited as proof from a high representative of the brotherhoods that the legislation was, as the oan- didate had declared “gold-brick” leg- slation of a dangerous kind. The uncertainty of the law,” he said, recognized in various par- | ticulars. It is said just what it will be decided to mean no one can now tell, as it is possible to construe it in several different ways. That is what | the general chairman said. In other words, it is not an eight- hour werking day at all. I have got here a copy of an article sent out by the general chairman of the brother- hood: of the Pennsylvania lines east, and here is what it says: This law does not change the application of the hours of service law; the compan- ies still have the right to work six- teen hours within any twenty-four consecutive hours, if they so desire. “I note,” he added, ‘“‘that the chief of one of the locals of the brother- hood has ascertained the effect of the law on those who complete their runs in less than eight hours. He says that if a man makes a 100-mile run in flve hours, instead of getting his full day's pay when paid on the eight- hour basis. He also says that for- merly the railroad men were entitled to pay for twenty-five miles whenever cailed out, whether they were used after reporting or not. But the Adamson bill enacts a flat basis of eight hours for the purpose of paying compensation while on the other hand it does not establish an eight-hour work day. “That is not any eight-hour work day bill. There was not any eight- hour work day proposition involved at all. Things that are right can walk in their own clothes; we can have things that are right if we go at them in the right way. “There will be a great many sur- prises about this bill that you are perbaps little interested in unless you work on railroads, but there are men who are going to find out that even those who were supposed to be bene- fited by it have got a very beautiful gold brick. His Principles. “I am opposed to all pork barrel business,” Mr. Hughes said in another place. “I am opposed to all logroll- ing appropriations. I am interested in this campaign simply because I be- lieve there is a greatt chance to serve the United States in providing busi- nesslike administration; and if they want that kind of thing I am their servant for that purpose. “We are on the eve of a great na- tional decision. We do not know what the future has in store for. qur coun- try, we cannot tell exactly what will happen ir the next few years, but we can tell what the principles are which we propose to apply to the adminis- tration of this government if we are intrusted with executive power. “In the first place, it must not be forgotten that the president is the ex- ecutive of the government. It is his duty ‘to administer the great business affairs of our country, and it is his duty to see that they are administer- ed in a businesslike and efficient man- ner. We haye had a notlon, perhaps, that in a country under free institu- tions public service did not have as high standards as had obtained under some other forms of government. These is no reason in the world why the business of the TUnited States should not be as well administered as any great private business; and I propose, if elected, to call about me the ablest men that I can find to es- tablish the business of this country on a basls which will make our civil service a place of honor and dignity and of benefit to all our people. “A vote for me is not a vote for war, but t is a vote for maintaing the rights of American citizens throughout the world. We cannot have any prosperity if we enter upon & path of national humiliation. Our prestige depends upon the impres- sion we make, of a courageous, fear- less spirit, a spirit of justice, but a spirit which speaks a consciousness of gelf-respect. There is no hope for lasting peace in this country, if we jnvite insult; if other nations do not have, not merely formally expressed, but actually have a deep regard for our institutions and the character of the people who maintain them. It was the splendid spirit that gave us our country, it was the indomitable spirit which preserved our country during the Civil war, that gave us the inter- national influence which we have en- joyed “We should not be able either to extend our foreign trade or to meet the opportunities of the twentieth century in the manner in which we should be able to meet them unless we are firm and convincing in the maintenance of American rights and unless the boy that goes to foreign parts to aid this country in extend- ing American enterprise knows that the flag, his flag, is a symbol not only of international justice, but is always ready to protect the lives and prop- erty of her citizens.” On Protective Tariff. Speaking of 1 1led as tective tariff to rd the indu tries of this country after the wanr, when, he said, foreign competition wvould be renewed by an efficient and trained Europe, Mr. Hughes s “This is a very severely practical pro- :l‘l'(—‘l)ositlon. We know what happened | to us twenty months ago. There are |some who say, ‘Why, America is 1eady! Look at great, strong Amer- ( fca! Can’t America stand anything?’ Well, America was just as strong and just as great twenty months ago as it is today. They say, ‘Well look at the men in America! Can’t they do anything?’ I reply, Well, the men in ! America were just as great twenty months ago »s they are today. You have got to have something besides this great, strong America that we talk about in such elogquent phrases, and you have got to have something more than these alert and splendid men. You have got to have business policies that proteot the industries of the United States. “How are we golng to avoid these conditions? By sanely building up | American enterprise, protecting American industry in every way, and making it possible for business to succeed. I want to see the American rame honored throughout the world because it is recognized that we are | firmly and consistently maintaining our rights. I want to see American prosperity based on something better than a European war. I want to see | efficient administration, with the best men in charge of every department. I want to see government that is sen- | sible and directed according to the merits of a proposition, and not gov- ernment by hold-upj not government response to force, not government dealing out gold bricks to this group cr that group for the purpose of get- ting votes. I propose that we have the principles of our institutions maintained, and themwe can go for- ward and meet the competition of the twentieth century, being assured that those living in this favored land will have a fair and square oppor- tunity.” Mr. Hughes spoke at Sulllvan, Lin- ton, Bloomington, Bragil and Terre Haute. It was a never-ending dem- onstration which spoke eloquently for the efficiency of the Indiana republi- can organization. CAMPAIGN RALLIES NEARING AN END Both Partes Hold Forth Toniht; Former Progressive at Lycenm The closing days of the campaign are proving to be strenuous ones with the local politicians, the town com- mittees of both parties being engaged in the final details by which they hope for the ‘success of their re- spective tickets. From a democratic standpoint, what should prove to be the greatest rally ever held in this city is scheduled for this evening at | the Lyceum theater, when Bainbridge Colby of New York a former leading figure in the progressive movement who has since aligned with the demo- crats, will be the principal speaker. it has been intimated numerous times that things occurred at the Chicago lin this city without a crowd in Broad- | way is a brand new idea, but it may ! the new subway is being built under | the structure and bring about an acci- | moving along prescribed streets. Per- | or restaurants will be permitted to do ) result beca convention that the ‘“dear peepul” have not been enlightened, and it is on this subject that Mr. Colby will | talk this evening. Two other speak- ers of national repute are carded on the program this evening, ex-Con- gressman John Lentz of Ohio and Eric Oberg of New York, the latter a noted Swedish political spellbinder. Never in the history of local democ- racy has such crowds attended ral- lies and meetings in the proportions of this fall, and it is the prophecy of the leaders that this evening's gathering will be even larger. The Y. M. T. A. & B. drum corps will | lead a short street parade previous to the rally. While their opponents are busy at their rally, the republicans will in- vade the Fifth Ward where M. A. Fitzgerald of Brooklyn, N. Y., who creatéed such a favorable impression last evening in Bardeck’'s hall, will be the principal speaker. Local candi- dates are also on the program. The Lithuanians will hold a rally in the hall on Park street with H. W. Dyer of Maine as the principal speaker, What is the initial and probably the only political speech to be made by State’s Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn of Suffield,” will be made at the rally of the Third Ward republicans in Bardeck’s hall. Those who have heard Attorney Al- corn in the past, are aware of his brilliancy as an orator and his con- versant knowledge of the political situation. “Throughout the country the aims of the republicans are bent in putting plenty of “pep” into their closing | P —————————————————— SAGE TEA KEEPS YOUR HAIR DARK Ivs Grandmother’s recipe to bring back color, youthfulness and lustre “—Everybody is using it again Gray hair, however handsome, de- notes advancing age.

BAR BROADWAY TOELECTION CROWD Weakness of Subway Structures Might Cause Serious Accident New York, Nov. 2.—Election night come to pass this year if an order stands which was served upon Police Commissioner Woods yesterday by the Public Service Commission, Because Broadway and Seventh avenue, the commission fears that a great crowd there on election night might weaken dent. Extraordinary efforts will be made by the police to keep the crowd sons will not be allowed to congre- gate in front of bulletin boards in the streets where excavating is going on. Those who want to go into theaters so, but the police will see that those walking in Broadway and Seventh avenue, from Thirty-third street to Fiftieth street, do- not congregate in one spot. Engineers of the Public Service Commission held a conference vesterday with representatives of the police department and certain re- strictions were suggested. In a letter to Police Commissioner Woods, Secre- tary Walker said: i “The restrictions following are pro- posed with a view to affording as reasonable access as practicable to the restaurants, theaters, and newspaper bulletin in the territories affected, and at the same time safeguarding the public against accidents which might se of panic conditions. The restrictions are to be effected gen- erally at the following locations: Broadway—From the north side of Fiftieth street to the north side of Thirty-sixth street. Broadway—From 100 feet north of Thirty-eighth street to the south side of Forty-second street. Broadway—From the north side of Forty-third street to the south side of Fiftieth street. Seventh avenue—From the north side of Forty-first street to the south side of Forty-second street. “Within these areas street car and vehiculdr traffic to be permitted as usual. “Within these areas pedestrian traf- fic to be regulated by the police in such a manner that pedestrians de- siring to reach points on Broadway and Seventh avenue between the transfers streets will be permitted to do so but the circulating crowds who have no particular business along Broadway and Seventh avenue will be excluded, except that pedestrians may be permitted to cross Broadway and Seventh avenue along the usual street crossing lines at all street crossings, except Forty-ninth and Seventh ave- way, between Thirty-fifth and Thirty- sixth Streets, west sidewalk of Broad- way, between Forty-third and Forty- seventh streets, and east sidewalk of Seventh avenue between Forty-first and Forty-second streets. “While the engineers are confident that the subway decking and side- | walks in this part of Broadway and Seventh avenue will support a dead massed upon it they are apprehensive that the vibrations which would be ing over such deckings and sidewalks fore, have recommended that the trafic be restricted as suggested. I am authorized by the commission to Tequest you to put such restrictions into effect.

Mr. Luther was a strong progre: in 1912 and voted for progressive didates in 1914, as well as for republican candidates. “Mr. Wilson has shown himself to ve some he entirely inadequate for the posi- | “He has no lead- | ership, and, as for the difficult prob- tion,” he continued lems that have come up, he seems to Lave asked himself not ‘what ought to be done? but ‘How can I get out of this with the least trouble?’ Outside of This—— “He has shown no insight, no com- ' prehensive grasp of the situation. He has been content to do the easiest thing at the moment and has brought the Uniteq States to a condition which commands no respect at home or abroad. “He seems to have mistaken litera- ture for statesmanship. The bare fact that the administration has practical- ly repudiated responsibility for Am- ericans abroad is sufficient to justify me in voting for a different kind of | administration. *“Without regard to the question of just wages and the proper hours of labor, the passage of the so-called Adamson law, in the way it was passed, president, himself dictated to a by commiftee, is in my opinion of itself | Mr. complete disqualification of Wilson for any public office. But Hughes, Mmm:- “I have admired Mr. Hughes' ser- | vices to the country as a lawyer and his wonderful administration when he was governor of New York and I have no doubt that he has been an excellent judge in the supreme court. He is strong, virile, intellectually competent, patriotic and of unflinch- ing courage. He is exactly the sort of man who is needed now.” Dr. Luther is a strong admirer of Colcnel Roosevelt and ‘thinks that the colonel’s act in declining the progressive nomination and in giving his support to Mr. Hughes “was about the finest thing in his wonderful ca- reer.” “Whatever any disappointed pro- gressive may think of the - colonel’s present attitude,” he said, “I am ut- terly unable to see how any man who in 1912 voted for the sort of person he then considered Roosevelt to be can vote for the democratic adminis- tration.” HAD DISASTROUS SEASON. International League Magnates Dipped Into Their Jeans to Keep Going. Buffalo, N. Y., Nov. 2.—That the season of 1916 in the International league was a. disastrous one all round is shown by reports that are leaking out from the various cities. Every club in the league lost money, cluding Buffalo, the champion team, where it is admitted by Joseph J. Lannin, owner of the team, a substan- tial loss was made. Lannin is anxious to sell the club, and effarts are being made to interest Buffalo men in the project of having the club or.ce more locally owned. In that cas in- it is probable that Patsy Donovan will/ leave the club to resume scouting for the Red Sox. Rochester and Newark and possibly Toronto will have new managers. Leach has been released by Owner Chapin after one year in the saddle. Tommy failed to make good in Mr. Chapin’s opinion. Fred Tenney has quit in Newark, one year in the In- ternationa] being a great plenty for him. Fred failed to make much of an impression in the Barrow wheel. In Toronto, Lena Blackburn finished the season in command, but is not sure of being given the . reins next year. Billy Smith is practically sure | to return to Richmand and of course Jack Dunn will pilot Baltimore as he | owns the club. well in Montreal, be re-engaged. In Providence, notfing has said about next vear’s team or who will manage it. It is said the team is for sale and until this matter is Dan Howley did very and will probably gettled little can be said about the| managerial end.

The operator assists by answering promptly and completing the connection quickly and accurately. The called person co-operates by answering promptly.
