HUGHES PLEDGES ALL PROTECTION IF HE IS ELECTED Would Not Want to Be Presi- dent of People Who Would Not Give Their All for Country They Love. AN AMERICAN EXECUTIVE Will Maintain Rights of Life, Property and Trade on Land and Sea. IS CONFIDENT OF VICTORY Ogdensburg, N, Y, Oct. 29.— Charles E. Hughes told an audience here tonight that if he were elected president he would protect American rights on land and sea. “There must be with us as with our fathers,” he added, “a willingness to sacrifice for the country that we love.” Mr. Hughes was speaking before a larg€ audience here. Earlier in the day he had asserted that he did not “be- lieve you can buy the labor vote in that way” in his discussion of the enactment of the Adamson law. In his speech here tonight Mr. Hughes, after declaring that “it: is love of country, not love of dollars that will make America great. Must Have Driving Power. “We want material advancement. We want to’ have the greatest pros- perity we can achieve, Izut it is a mistake to suppose that with nations, as with men, great development and success can be attained if there are low and unworthy ideals wiich domi- nate action, It is the lofty, patriotic ideal that must beckon us on, and to which we must be faithful. We must have a driving power in this country, a power which engenders a dominant |- sense of unity and a respect for the privileges of American citizenship. “If I am elected we shall have an American administration with no de- flection to serve any ulterior interests, and with no deflection for the purpose of bending to the policy of any for- eign power for the purpose of meeting any foreign machinations of any sort whatever. Must Be Ready to Sacrifice. “What we hope is to have an American administration, four squares to the world, maintaining American rights on land and sea, with respect to life, property and commerce. There. must be with us as_with our fathers a willingness to sacrifice for the coun- try that we love. “There_is no_hope _decadent people. You may pa: s as you please. You may have what' party in power you please, but unless yon have that love of coutitry which Prb served us in that‘awful struggle fifty years ago, unless you have that pa- triotism which will make you have some of the ideals of otr institutions of the liberties which we have gained here, it is idle to talk about the fu- ture of the United States, Preposterous Suggestion. “I do not want to be president of a people that dre not ready to give their all for their liberty, their land, their country that they love. “Now arises some one to say ‘that there have been.those.going through the land who have said a vote for me is a vote for war. [ repudiate that statement as an unworthy and prepos- terous suggestion. I am devoted to the interests of peace. I have spent all my life in connection with the in- stitution of peace. - “The manifestations of interest which have greeted me today show beyond any question, a§_it seems to me, that we are marching steadily for- ward to a decisive victory on the 7th of November. “We must take a view of the pri- mary duty of the executive. What is it? The very words suggest the an- swer. He is primarily the executive. It is not his function to barter; it is not his function to grant or withhold privileges of citizenship. He is the executive of the people. He iis en- trusted with the business management of the great affairs of the nation. And his first duty is to give a first-class, efficient, business administration of the government of this country. Unequal to Duties. “At the very outset of his adminis- tration there were called to the high positions of secretary of state and secretary of the navy—positions close- ly related to our interests—men of amiable qualities, men of excellent character, but men very clearly un- equal to the high duties of those posi- tions. We cannot attend tp American business in that way. And recently we have found our secretary of war so busy explaining his unfortunate utterances that it seems he could hard- ly have’time to attend to the nec (Continued on Page Two, Column Two.)

FROM EPISCOPAL T0 CHRISTIAN GHURCH Rev. Dr. Buxton, Rector of St. Paul's, Council Bluffs, Re- signs Pastorate. FINDS TOO MANY DOGMAS Rev. A, G. A, Buxton yesterday morning not only preached his_fare- well sermon as rector of St. Paul's Episcopal - church in Cguncil Bluffs, bat announced his final withdrawal from .the church and its ministry, inj taking the cburse he left no ‘means of retreat; asserting that he.would here- after devote himsfilf as a clergyman to the work of the ministry of the Christian. church and will assist Rev. Edgar Price forthe next month or so, eonducting a series of meetings in the First Chtistidmr church here. The withdrawal of Rev. Mr. Bux- ton-from the Episcopal ministry and conclusion of his work as rector of the church here was dramatic. The church was crowded. The rector togk forghis text Luke 4:17; “And he closed the book.” In an easy conversational tone Rev. Mr. Buxton recounted ‘what had taken place in the church during his ministry, its' growth in membership and spirituality; his . constant and earnest effort to proclaim the gospel as its truth appealed to him. He referred to the work accomplished, mentioning the establishment of All Saint:s chapel'and the erection of the building. He spoke of®the warmth of the friendship: formed and the spread of the influence of the church outside its ecclesiastical limits. Makes the Announcement. The announcement of the wit- drawal from the ministry did not come until the farewell to the con- gregation had been concluded. Rev. Mr. Buxton stgod suryeying the audignee for a morfent in silence and then said, in a clear and deliber- ate tones: “You know the Ch‘rist said to His | disciples, ‘all of you shall be-offended because of me this night” If I had stood in an Episcopal pulpit in the sixteenth century and read what I |am going to read to you now, I would have been burned at the stake before Saturday night. I am tired of creeds and dogmas. I have lost all interest in them, and as the Epis- copal church is a maze of doghas ithat I can no longer accept, I must leave it to secure the larger liberty {my soul craves. Here are some of the reasons why I can no longer re- main a priest of the church.” The speaker then read slowly and with great dramatic force, this type- written statement after he had sharp- ly criticised Bishop Morrison: Reasons for Action. “My parishioners will always re- member that I have preached to them the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ and while I have not been as active from a worldly point of view as some i would like to have had me, yet I have | endeavored jn every way to be a true minister of the Christ, l “My religious convictions will no |longer permit me to remain in the | Episcopal ministry and I must serye | my, Master regardless of salary or so- | called social standing.
