HUGHES' ANSWER 10 MARSHALL'S CHARGE Republican Oandidate Says As- sertion of Demo Vice Pres- ident Is Preposterous, MAKES POSITION PLAIN Lincoln, Neb, Oct. 15.—(Special Telegram.)—Charles Evans Hughes last night sharpy replied to speeches of Vice President Marshall, delivered through Nebraska recently, in which the vice president said that a vote for Hughes was a vote for war. “Now, I have heard it said since I came into Nebraska,” remarked Mr. Hughtes, “that someone has been go- ing through the state saying that a vote for me meant a vote tor war.

To my surprise, he assured me that he was not a democrat, but, on the contrary, was ‘a wheel horse in the republi¢an party, (You know I'm not a regular politician, and there are many of them whom 1 do not km::d). At this point I was a bit confused and- at.loss to know what to say, when R. D. Muir of Milford observed my distress of mind. He said, “Well, lad, I'm not surprised that you misfook him for a democrat. He has had typhoid fever and ague for a long time, and that is why he looks like that.” ‘I‘hey assured me that Mr. Kennedy's speech had done much to puncture the false bubble which the demacratic press had been blowing to give Mr. Hughes the appearance of a scold and a knac!

Reaching the borders of this hos- pitable state at an early hour, the republican presidential _candidate talked to large crowds at Falls City, Beatrice, Fairbury and York, and made special stops at Seward and Fairmont, q The greeting accorded him in Lin- coln last night was whole-souled and spontaneous and Mr. Hughes was visibly pleased . Takes Up All Tssues. In the six addresses which marked the opening day of his presidential campaign in Nebraska the nominee discussed nearly all the issues of the campaign, He characterized as tem- porary and abnormal the gruen! pros- perity of the country and urged sup- port of the republican party so that a protective tariff might be enacted to fortify American enterprises in post-bellum days against unequal competition, 2 He 'took especial pains to declare that he was a man of peace and that he did not want war, The reference was very plainly intended as an_an- swer to the recent speeches of Viee President Marshall through the same | N territory. Greeting in Lincoln. When the Hughes special reached Lingoln, a crowd that hardly permit- ted’ the members of the party to thread their way through, lined the streets on the way from the station, and progress was made to the ac- companiment of a constant chorus of automobile horns and the music of five bands. Along the line of march; Mr. Hughes stood up in his auto and bowed recognition, while deafening cheers were constant. In line were the University of Nebraska Hughes club and the Hickman Hughes and Fairbanks club. 4 : ‘my veterans occupied re- in the city auditorium, mmed to the doors long before Mr. Hughes reached the city. Thousands stood outside the build- ing, unable to gain entrance, wait- ing! to catch a glimpse of the candi- ate. J Banhers Tell Story. The hall was decorated with the national colors in honor of f'ie can- didate's visit, and banners were swung at prominent places bearing _the legends, “Peace, Prosperity wud Pro- tectiof “A Republican ' Victory Means " just as they had been carried in the parade.

He stands for eternal pxmcnplu and policies of government affairs which mark progréss and de- velopment of the American people.

He had to pause for applause when he gaid: “You cannot live under those condi- tions unless you have a legitimate and fair application of the republican doc- tt}ne of protection of American indus- tries.” He had been discussing conditions, under the democratic tariff after the war, Denounces Adamson Law. In his remarks on the Adamson bill he brought prolonged applause’ when he said: “It is government by holdup I‘n? 1 denounce it as an Ametican citizen.” r. Hughes scored a strong point when he 5ecllred that if a m-c’:l,led raise of wages could be :cem:pliahod over night by same token a decrease could b% ulfe:te1 in similar manaer. He touched poru ar approval when he said it was petfectly preposterous to go before the American people and say that a vote for him is a vote io{ war, ‘ He dealt the democratic position on the Mexican situation sledge hammer blows. He won the ewwtr by reason of his legic and clear vision.

I heard many state that 8,000 out-of-town Yeople were in Fairbury before noon. know positively that al'who wanted could not get within hearing distance.
