HUGHES SPEAKS T0 THE FARMERS OF EMPIRE STATE Nominee Declares America Can Have Neither Peace Nor Security Till It Prepares to Maintain Rights. DEM PROMISES ARE BROKEN Traditional Policy of Demo- cratic Party Not Suited to Economie Needs Just Now. FLAG MEANS PROTECTION < Newark, N. Y., Oct. 28.—Charles . E. Hughes today told an audience of rmers here today that America could have neither peace nef security until it was prepared to maintain un- flinchingly the known rights of its citizens on land and sea. “Our opponents have told us in very explicit terms,” he said, “that the constitutional rights of American citizens should follow them through- out the world and that whenever they were lawfully following their business they should have full protection for their lives and property. That prin- ciple T believe in, but performance has not matched promises. “We shall have no peace, no se- curity, unless we maintain our selfg respect; unless we have the esteem and friendship of all nations, unless the American flag means justice, courteous treatment, but firm and'un- flinching insistence upon American rights with respect to lives, property and commerce on land and sea throughout the world.” The candidate assailed the demo- cratic party as one “of bquen prontises,” citing among other things, the alleged failures to observe the merit system in making appointments, and to reduce the high cost of living. “Our opponents told us they were going to reduce the high cost of liv- ing,” he said, “We now have the higher cost of living. They have had a certain policy to which for genera- tions they have adhered. I do not regard it as American policy. It is very obviously unsuited to the eco- nomic needs at this time. ) “We have a temporary prosperity due to the abnormal conditions brouight about by the European war. But_what are the conditions we have had? Is it possible that we can now forget the conditions that existed in this country before the war? Con- sider the business depression before the” war, consider the serious condi- tion with r A0 many imuv:iscs, throughout this country. Plants were closed, others were reduced, thou- sands of men were walking the streets of our large cities looking for work. It was a day of soup houses.” Mr. Hughes declared that to pre- vent a “repetition” of business de- pression when the war ends it would be found necessary to apply “the sound republican doctrine af protec- tion to American industries.” MIn “Fool's Paradise.” Oswego, N. Y, Oct. 28.<Charles N\ _E. Hughes in his speech here today \ \fold an audience that “We are living , 1\ a fool's paradise if we expect our ¢ ent prosperity to continue when N bnormal demands of Europe ent their force after the war.” “Do “pot deceive yourself,” Mr. Hughes said, “with the idea that after this war there will be an entry into the commercial rivalry of nations so ¥ impoverished,* so wasted, that they % will be unable to give an effective competition. We are cherishing the notion of a prosperity suddenly crea- ted and destined to cease when the European war ends. “Let not American labor deceive itself with the delusion that we can \/ maintain the prosperity we now en- joy based on the exceptional demands ,, of the war after those demands have « been satisfied. This competition is coming; you can't dispose of it by yphrases; you can’t mock it by words. * It is there; it is going to come. v “You have got to meet the situa- ~’ tion by application of the sound ican prin-iple of a protective tar- iff. What a vain thing it is now to tell labor that it is in a state where it can congratulate itseli#upon tne pres- ent prosperity.” The special train of Charles E. Hughes narrowly missed running down the republican presidential can- who was in an automobile vhen he returned to the railroad sta- tion after making a campaign speech here today. Mr. Hughes' automobile drove di- rectly in front of the train, which, \{mvmg left the station to turn around while the didate was speaking, was not visible around the curve as it was pulling back into the station.

MORNING, STATEMENT IS A SURPRISE American Officials Pronounce It Extraordinary and Say State Bureau May Act. PLOTTERS ON THIS ‘SIDE Nogales, Arig, Oct. 28.— Two Americans, Charles England and Fritz Schultz of Milwaukee, mining men, were executed in Chihuahua City by direct orders of General Trevino, a Carranza officer, on September 19, according to Richmond Von Dohlen, a naturalized German-American citi- zen, who arrived here today. Washington, Oct. 28.—In a state- ment issued today, Luis Cabrera, chairman of the Mexican section of the Mexican-American joint commis- sion, assailed American officials for alleged laxity in dealing with anti- Carranza_ propagandists along the border. Officials pronounced it “ex- traordinary” and gave some indica- tions that it might be the subject of action by the State department. Carranza Shifts Garrison. _Columbus, N. M., Oct. Carranza garrison which has been sta- tioned at El Valle, forty-five milez from American field headquarters a Colonia Dublan, evacuated that town late Thursday night and is riding to- ward Chihuahua City, it was learned here today from sources which have been considered reliable in the past. This Carranza garrison has been station at El Valle for several weeks and has occupied a position between the American field headquarters at the “extreme sou(lfrn outpost of the American forces.* It was reported here that the El Valle garrison commander received a hurried order to report to General Trevino in Chihuahua City to parfi- cipate in the enveloping movement against Villa and started at once on a ride of approximately 150 miles, a greater part of which will be through territory nominally in control of the Villa forces. Causes Surprise. The statement, which, caused offi- cials' much surprise as coming from the head of 'a Mexican dglegation now attempting to adjust border troubles, was issued by the Mexican news bureau, which acts for the Mex- ican embassy. It follows: “A broad interpretation of the fed- eral laws of the United States dealing with peutrality and regulating immi- gration with a strict, consistent and efficient administration of these laws by the executives to whom their ad- ministration is delegated, would go a long ways toward correcting the bor- der disturbances and allay much of .the unrest which at present pervades that region. “In the United States are many Mexicans and groups of Mexicans in- imical to the Carranza government, Plottings and schemings without end are engaged in, not alone by the ex- treme conservatives, who are striving to bring on intervention with the hope that the constitutionalist goy- ernment shall be restored by the aid |- of American armies, but also there are groups of extremely radical mal- contents, whose hope is the destruc- tion of the Carranza government, that license, banditry and rapine may con- tinue and multiply until-human rights and property rights all are destroyed. Promoted by Plotters. “The conservatives and reactionaries are taking advantage of the situation created by the ultra radicals. The im- portation_of arms and munitions for the use of Villa, Zapata and the other bandits and brigands, is conducted under the very eyes of supine offi- cials whose business it would be to hinder their transmission across the border. b, The propaganda of revolt against constituted order is being promoted by scores of conspirators, knwon both to-the Mexican and the American offi~}, cials who, by even-the most strictly interpretation of America’s immigra- tion laws should be deported from the United States. “That the American government is competent to restrict and restrain the (Continued on Page Two, Column Three.)

The original plan was to hold a “Wilson Day” auto paracle, but the demonstration resolved itself in a pa- rade of democratic candidates and of- barber | s friends. Two members of the Ben- son Nonpartisan league appeared en masse. A few of the machines bore signs which were copied from the demo- cratic national committee’s campaign text book. A distribution of cigars before the parade started served to add a prosperous appearance to the entourage, A large percentage of those in the machines were city employes who are working under “the demo- cratic members of the city commis- ion. The candidates and their fam- ilies made up another division, 3f Side and then back on Sixteenth street to Fowler avenwe.
