SINGLE COPY TWO CENTS. THE WEATHER FAIR HUGHES GREETED BY HUGE CROWDS ON MICHIGANTRIP Republican Nomiflee Assails Administration\for Under- wood Tariff Law and Adamson Measure. SPEAKING HALLS PACKED Republican Nominee for Presi- dency Puts In Busy Day in ~ Michigan and Ohio. NEW YORK NEXT WEEK gL Saginaw, Mich,, Oct. 19.—Charles E. Hughes delivered two speeches here and at Bay City today before audiences that packed the halls where he spoke. The nominee assailed the administration for the Underwood tariff and the Adamson law, and re- ted his demal of the charge that a vote for him meant a vote for war. “Men are going abroad in this land,” Mr. Hughes said, “saying that a vote for me is a vote for war, be- cause I have criticised weakness and vacilation on the part of the admin- istration. A vote for me is a vote for permanent peace based on self-re- spect and the esteem and respect of others. - 3 “We have but one desire and that is an intense desire to go along in our pedceful pursui(s,v promoting our prosperity and having a just distribu tion of the gains of labor, by having a prosperity upon which we can build a structure of social justice. Every one desires peace. No one more than 1. Why, I have devoted all my life to the institutions of peace, institutions that deal with a peaceful settlement of controversies. Must Maintain Security. “But in this world you have got to maintain not only your security by proper _ preparation against every emergeflcy, but you have got to main; tain_your security by winning the confidence and esteem of other na- tions—We cannot do that if we do not maintain the dignity of our own citi- zenship. “If you want to know the way things ought not to be done, look at the way in which they were done in Mexico. That, to my mind, is an il- lustration that stands out in bold re- lief of the policies of this administra- -tion. It was a meddling with matters that did not concern us. It was a fail- ure to maintain American rights.” Leaves Grand Rapids. Grand Rapids, Mich,, Oct. 19— Charles E. Hughes today began the last day of his third presidential cam- paign trip. The nominee left Grand Rapids earlytoday for Bay City, Sag- inaw and Flwt~Mich., and Youngs- town, O., where he will speak tonight. After his speech in Youngstown Mr. Hughes will leave _for New York, where he is due to arrive at 2 o’clock tonMorrow ' afternoon. The stops at Bay City and Saginaw were of fifteen and thirty minutes, re- spectively. At Flint the program called for a stay of an hour and a quarter and departure at noon for Youngstown, where he was due at 8 o'clock tonight. 5 Mr. Hughes' third trip approxi- mated 5,500 miles, of which 5,297 was by rail. This brings the total mile- age traveled in campaigning up to approximately 25000 miles. He ex- pects to remain in or near New York resting until the latter part of next week, when he will start on hs fourth trip. = Dry Farming is Lauded by Jardine El Paso, Tex., Oct. 19.—Dry farm- ing is the most highly organized of all agricultural methods and develops the best citizenship in the rufal dis- tricts, William Jardine of Manhattan, Kan., and president of the Interna- tional Dry Farming congress, said in his annual address at the opening ses- sion of the eleventh congress here today. “The irrigation farmer who ignores the dry farmers’ method of summer and fallow conservation of moisture is sure to}ail," President Jardine added.

Inciting @ Dastard Deed The false and malicious cry raised by desperate demo- cratic campaigners that “a vote for Hughes is a vote for war” refutes itself to intelligent minds, but we shudder at the possible effect of its constant repetition’ upon degen- erates and fanatics who we know are to be found in every big community. The gist and burden of this mendacious appeal to prejudice and passion is to-make ignorant people believe that Mr. Hughes is & blood-thirsty, inhuman monster bent upon enveloping his country To say that “a vote for Hughes is a vote for war”’ brings to folks of blunted i in the terrible ravages of war. ntellect a picture of ruthless devastation and wanton destruction of the lives of men, women and children and is designed to pursuade them that Mr. Hughes, instead of peace-loving man that he is, being the gentle, considerate devoted all his life, as he 7 & shown, to the settlement of controversies by pe o solution rather than by force, is eager to pull dovstn" pon us a needless war with all its horrors and hardships. It was this kind of talk , let it be remembered, that _stirred the assassin’s hand and speeded the bullet that pl.lt an untimely end to theslamented McKinley. We have in our files & newspaper article which calls McKinley “a murderer,” written by a man who is now a member of the editorial staff of Senator Hitc heock’s democratic organ that is spreading this “yote-for-Hughes-vote-for-war” pf)ison. To that article and to articles like that in democratic pa- pers may be traced the inception of the crime that took McKinley away from us. What we are trying to make plain is that the present diabolical democratic outburst against Hughes is‘ just as apt to have a similar effect upon some muddled mind, and should it happen (which G od forbid!) that some be- wildered half-lunatic were thus persuaded that he has a “divine mission” to “‘remove’ " Mr. Hughes, as a menace to the peace of the country, responsibility for the dastard deed would,be properly chargeable to the unscrupulous political bomb fabricators who afe engineering the demo- cratic campaign. TILSON 1S LOSING IN PENNSTLVANIA Ex-Democratic~ State Chair- man Gives Reasons for Not Supporting President. RECORD IS AGAINST HIM _Phila delphia. Oct. 19.—That (h.e democratic party in Pennsylvania is as badly disorganized as ever was demonstrated late last week when Judge John M. Garman of Luzerne county, one of the oldest and best democrats in the commonwealth, open- ly declared for the defeat of Pxesident Wilson. Judge Garman, who now oc- cupies a place on the common pleas bench of Iis county, served as demo- cratic state ‘chairman for a- number of years and once ran for congress as the nominee of his party. &, Judge Garman's declaration against Wilson was made while on a visit to this city, but it was evident that long ago he fully made up his mind to take a stand for Simon-pure democratcy, which, he says, Hon. Woodrow Wil- son and his leaders do not represent. According to Judge Garman, Wilson is neither democrat nor republican; that he is an opportunist who is ready to shift principles according to con- ditions and the times. “I am unalterably opposed to the re-election of President Wilson,” said L) rat, who 2 & Judge Garman. “As a democ | we must increase the price of bread, | has been a democrat all my life, I see nothing ine Woodrow ~Wilson which should commend him to the support of democratic voters. He is no more of a democrat than is a re- publican a democrat, anfl yet he'is not a republican. Wilson is nothing in politics. He goes the way thc.wmrl blows and that has heen the history of his administration since the day he took -office nearly four years ago. Should Not Hesitate. “No democrat should hesitate about | voting against Wilson. A democrat who refuses to support him i,s not | committing treason. Far from it. On | the contrary, he is doing a great pub- lic service. Let it be said further that a democrat who opposes Wilson is merely repaying that gentleman in Kis own coin. , For Woodrow Wilson did not support the democratic- ticket in 3896 and his democracy on other occasions ean also be questioned. “Those democrats who have good memories have not forgotten what Wilson said about Bryan. It was that Bryan should be knocked into a cock- ed hat. Wilson never voted for Bryan, or he would not have had that opinion of the democratic candidate for president. I hasten to say that I am not going to the rescue of Bryan, who, after he became rich, developed into a truckling politician and then @ common scold. What [ am trying to point ouf is, that Bryan was the party’s nominee, and as such should have gotten the support of Mr. Wil- son. The fact that he did not justifies my stand and the stand of thousands of other good democrats in Pennsyl- vania who are opposing Woodrow Wilson. McCormick and McLean. “The entire democratic fight is be- ing waged by men whose democracy cannot stand the acid test. Vance Mc- Cormick is Wilson's hand picked chairman. He is not a democrat in reality—just a sham politician, who is in-the game for whatever glory he can get out of it. He has fought the democratic ticket almost as often as he has given it support. Yet he calls on all democrats tor stand for the straight ticket. “Then go down the line a little more and you will find' that the dem- ocratic state chairman, William S. McLean; Jr., is also in the doubtful class when it comes to party reg larity. He resides in my own county and I know whereof I speak. The only democratic candidates he will support are those that e had a hand in picking, When the democratic (Continued on Page Two, Column Five,) ANOTHER ADVANCE - IN'BREAD IN SIGHT Chicago Bakers Say if Wheat Climbs Higher Loaf Must Be Smaller or Cdst More. MORE MONEY OR QUIT J Chicago, Oct. 19.—The public is confronted with another increase in the price of bread if wheat continues to advance, according to predictions today of leading bakers. The 10-cent jump- in the price of -wheat in the ladt two days sent flour up 75 cents a barrel, which caused the big bakers to announce that in addi- thn to the recent increases in the prices of bread they would have to make further advances unless some- thing unforeseen lowers the price of flour.” Bakers paid $9.50 a barrel wholesale for flour yesterday, the highest price in Chicago in twenty years. | “Unless an embargo on the expor- | tation of wheat"is declared,” said Paul Schulze, a baker, “there will be a wheat famine before spring. Even as the situation is now, small millers are shutting down their plants and fill- Minneapolis mills,” “If wheat goes up, flour goes up,” said B. H. Dablheimer, president of Ithe Master Bakers' association, “and or decrease the size of the loaf in order to live.” And Milk Goes Higher. New York, Oct. 19.—An increase of {1 cent a quart in the retail price of all grades of milk was announced today | by the Borden Milk company. As a |result of the agreement which settled | the recent milk strike here, the dis- | tributors are now paying higher prices to the dairymen. Beginning to morrow, grade A-milk will be 12 cents 'a quart; grade B, 10 cents; certified, 16; buttermilk, 7. The milk supply | here has again become normal.

He planned to leave at midnight and arrive at Long Branch, N. ]., at midnight’ tomerrow. In a speech before the Chicago Press club the president predicted the beginning of “a ren ance of the sense of patriotic responsibility,” and urged the development of progressive- ness.

At his every appearance the presi- dent was cheered by throngs which packed the streets during his automo- bile rides from place to place, and he spoke. Me stood in his automo- bile while passing through the crowds and smilingly waved his hat to the people on the streets and in the win- dows of the buildings. An attempted “silent demonstra- tion” by members of the national Women'’s party in front of the Audi- torium developed into a near riot, in which banners opposing Wilson were torn from the demonstrators and trampled, and the women were rough- ly handled. President Wilson was dred feet away when the demonstra- tion started, but passed into the building and was not a witness to the scene that followed. Women Knocked Down. Shouting, ame, disgrace,!

With disheveled hair and soiled and torn clothing, the women marched back to their headqaurters under police guard, Charges that the police thized w¥h the rioters and failed to protect the demonstrators were made by Mrs. Josephine Pearce and Mrsy E. L. Mattice, offidials of local | women republican clubs. “There were all kinds of policemen | standing .about merely looking on, | not moving a hand,” said Mrs. Pearce. | “Some of them did not seem to want to help us.

DISTINCT QUAKE IS FELT Mobile, Ala./ Oct, 19.—Southern Alabama and western Florida were recovering today from the hurricane which swept out of the gulf across this coadt yesterday, causing two deaths and property and marine Joss, Although the wind attained a greater velggity than that which accompanied the storm of last July, both Mobile and Pensacola, the chief cities in the hurricane’s path, suffered fat less damage. The total loss in the two cities probably will not exceed $100,- 000, \ The chief damage here was to rail- road sheds and terminals and to tele- phone, telegraph and light and power wires. Several persons were blown through plate glass windows, but es- caped serious injury. At Pensacola the government aero plant escaped, but several ‘buildings were damaged, The electric light plant was put out of commission. I'rain service from Pensacola to Jacksonville will be suspended for a week, Vessels Go Down. Two small vessels here sank, while four others were driven ashore. A number of small craft were destroyed. At Pensacola one steamer went down, another is missing, with the fate of the crew undetermined; three fishing hoats were hlown ashore and two big freighters were damaged. A cook on the sunken steamer was drowned. Although tle storm’s intensity de- creased as it swept inland, southern Alabama suffered considerably, hous- es being unroofed and poles blown down in Opp and Troy, while minor damage was done in a number of other towns. Standing timber was said to have been leveled in many places, but the citrus fruit crop in both this state and Florida apparently did not suffer to any great extent. The storm was accompanied by two distinct earthquake shocks, which were felt as far north as Louisville, Ky, and as far cast as Augusta, Ga. The tremors were more decided at Birmingham than elsewhere, and there thousands’ of persons rushed from their thomes and offices. No material damage was done. German U-Boats to Operate in Western Atlantic, Is Report Amsterdam, Holland, Oct. 19.—The Volks Zeitung of Cologne says: “German submarines will operate in the future in the westérn Atlantic. They will visit the well known ship- ping routes around the eastern point of Nantucket island and will sink British merchantmen after giving the crews opportunity to save them- selves.” The newspaper believes this activity will influence the supplying of food, especially grain, bacon and lard, to ngland.

GERMAN SUBSEA BREMEN AT THE BOTTOM OF SEA \ Teutonic Diplomats in Wash« ington Concede that Sub. |, marine Merchantman | Has Been Lost, L IS ONE MONTH OVERDUE Fate of Vessel Likely to Re- main a Mystery, at Least Till Close of the War. MORE DIVERS EXPECTED Washington, Oct. 19.—Loss of the German submarine merchantman / Bremen virtually was conceded to- day by ranking Teutonic diplomats in position to be familiar with the move= ments nf\,thc vessel.» The Bremen is now one month overdue. It was admitted that German offie cials, not only in this country, but in Berlin, were without information as to the fate of the Bremen. All they | know is that it set out for America from Brémerhaven and thatit should have arrived at an *American port soon after the middle of last month, It is regarded as doubtful that accu- rate information concerning the fate of the vessel will be available until after the close of the war, if then, Expect Another Submarine. The disappearance of the Bremen will not cause abandonment of the project to send merchant submarines regularly from Germany to the United States, it was said. There appeared to be reason to expect that anothfir the Deutschland or some other, would reach an American port some time within the next month, i German officials in Washington ;do not believe the Bremen could have fallen into the hands of the British unless it had some accident to its machinery. They pointed out that, unlike naval submarines, merchant submarines avoid all localities fré- quented by shipping and therefore are not open to the same risks. When the Bremen was a week over- due, no apxiety regarding it was felt. The Deutschland was just ‘a week overdue when it came through the Virginia capes, and the weather con- ditions then were much better than those which have prevailed during the last month and a half. When the vessel was two weeks overdue, anx- iety,was apparent in various Teutonic quarters and word of its arrival was anxiously awaited. Since then hope that the submarine might be safe has dwindled each day, and today it was spoken of as having been lost. et Sl Muiste! o President Wilson is Busy Man During Day in Chicago Chicago, Oct. 19.—President Wils son has a busy twelve hours in Chi- caog-today. “He is expected to mark a high point in the local democratie campaign for re-election, Arriving in the city shortly befors noon, his first engagement took him tu the Press clul, where he was guest of honor at a luncheon at 1 o'clock.
