HUGHES SURE OF NEW YORK STATE Republican Nominee Tells Big Audience He Believes He Will Win Home State. HAS NO APOLOGY TO MAKE Albany, N. Y., Nov. 3.—Charles E. Hughes, speaking here last ‘night, de- claved his belief that he weuld win the electoral votes of Ohio, Indiana and New York, and asserting that he was “looking forward to the respon- sibilities of administration,” outlined what he regarded as “the essential ,(:onditions of national leadership.” L] Mr. Hughes addressed an audience hat waited nearly three hours fo fhcar him. He was mntroduced by Wil- liam Barnes, former republican state chairman, The nominee in previous speeches today had declared that he had no apologies to make for his at- tacks on the administration ' for its foreign policy, had characterized as “very cruel and unwarrantable” the suggestion that a vote for him meant a vote for war, and he declared his opposition to a “muddle of meddle” in .America’s foreign relations. - established principles of international Guardian of National Honor. “The executive is the guardian of the national honor,” Mr. Hughes de- clared. “He has a very wide discretion in the management of our foreign re- lations. He has his own judgment al- most exclusively as his guide, and he is not supposed to exercise that judg- ment except in conformity to the well law. “It is not a whimsy he should con- sider—it i8 not a loose generality, a conceived service to humanity that should engage “his attentions. It is his duty to have his country adopt and follow correct principles of inter- national action recognized by the na- tions of the world and thus maintain the respect to which we are entitled and giving us an opportunity to have a growing interest through that es- teem by which we can maintnin our rights and in the end truly serve hu- maninty.”. Answers Wilson’s Statement. Mr. Hughes replied to a statement in a recent speech of President Wil- son as follows: “It is not that we should be truc- ulent. It is not that we should go about with any braggart assertion of power. It is not that we should en- gage in bluster. I like the phrase ‘the peace of a_gentleman,’, but is the peace of a gentleman unafraid, alert in " his self respect and getting his rights, quietly and calmly, ready to mairtain them? That is the peace of a gen- tleman.” 7] In his speech here tonight, as in other speeches during the day, Mr. Hughes declared that “there never has been a time, perhaps, in our his- | tory when it was easier to keep the nation out of war than during the last few years, when every nation engaged in the great strife abroad desired our friendship and would not, by reason of any assertion of our just rights, forfeit that friendship.” Cheered by Crowds. The nominee was an hour late .in reaching Albany. His address here was further delayed by a street parade many blocks long, which he headed. On his_way to the hall the nominee was cheered by crowds on the sidewalks, Introducing Mr. Hughes, Chairman Barnes said: “There is one quality the people de- mand in a man who would hold high office. In his responsibility to the great people he owes the obligation that his deeds should conform with his words. That the American people have not now, but will have in' Mr. Hughes.” | The nominee was given a pro- longed cheer when he arose. Confident of Victory. “I come to you after several days of a very remarkable experience in the states of Ohio and Indiana,” Mr. Hughes said. “I suppose that no | candidate for the presidency ever re- | ceived a more generous greeting than I received in those states. It demon- | starated the interest that is felt by | the pco})le of this country in- the issues of the campaign and I believe put beyond question the victory of the national ticket in both Ohio and Indiana as well as New York. “We are now looking forward to the responsibilities of administration and I desire to speak to you with re- | spect to what I regard the essential chonditions of national\ leadership to e. “The executive is intended to be a leader; but his leadership, has primar- ily to do with the performance of cer- | tain constitutional duties of the gravest importance to-the people.

His first duty is to give to the country an efficient administration of public business. It is perfectly*idle for us to expect in the trying days to which undoubtedly we shall be called in the coming years, the prosperity which we desired to enjoy unless we have in this country exhibited, as in- deed are exhibited in many countries abroad, the' highest -standards of ad- ministrative work in our public ser- vice. “The executive should surround himself in the various departments of public work with the very ablest talent at his command. He should never permit diplomatic agencies, for example the organization of our great State department and the reperesen- tation of the nation in all its interna- tional relatipns, to be subordinated to a narrow tbnception of supposed partisan exigency. ~America stands in her diplomacy with a high prestige, won and maintained by the character and special ability of the men who represent it in the councils of the na- tions and our international affairs. Business Capacity Necessary. “We shall speak in vain of the pre- paredness we should have for our national defense unless the great de- partments that have to deal with the expenditures of the vast sums re- quired for this purpose are under the leadership of the most competent men. I do not care to be told that great amounts of money have been Ippgopriated for the purpose of eqmpmfi our navi' unless I am as- sured that we will have the business capacity in the management of the Navy department, which will assure well-spent dollars and a navy, when the dollars are spent. “Nor do I care for paper re-or- gnnizations of the army, or mere bills or the purpose of adding to our forces, or provision for the expendi- ture of money in supplies necessary for the maintenance of our military establishment unless we have com- petent business leadership. Had To Get Out. “We did have in the cabinet of this administration a first-class man as our first secretary of war, but he could not live with the administration and had to get out. “Their“promises of efficiency have not been maintained in these great departments. If I am elected presi- dent, as I expect to be. I promise to call to these great administrative postions men in whose judgment the public cans have _confidence, and the | through whose administration we shall ngt have preparedness on paper, but actfal prepardedness. “I propose that we have a proper budget system, that it be no longer necessary for us to have a haphazard consideration of many demands from many sources, without the necessary equipment for a comprehensive view through a budget prepared on execu- tive responsibility.” Mr. Hughes reiterated his attitude toward domestic policies, includin “The rule of reason” and the tariff. He repeated his views that America after the war would meet the fierce competition of an organized Europe with more workers than every before even after allowing for the wastes of war, and declared that the only wa: to meet this competion was throug{ the protection of American industry by a protective tariff. Mr. Hughes told audiences in Cen- tral New York today last day but one of his campaign tour that he had no apologies to make for his at- T erence to the maintenance of Ameri- can rights, and that he proposed if elected to make the American flag the symbol not only of courtesy and justice, but of firmness and consist- ency in maintaining “our known rights on land and sea.” The nominee assailed the adminis- tration for its alleged failure to aid in the development of American trade abroad by upholding American rights, characterized as “very cruel and unwarrantable,” suggestions that a vote for him meant a vote for war, and declared that in American rela- tions with foreign nations he was op- posed to a “muddle of meddle.” Defines Political Leadership. At Batavia, the first stop of the day, Mr. Hughes asserted that he had entire confidence in the result of the elections in Indiana and Ohio. In his speech here tonight, the nomi- nee defined political leadership. The meeting here was presided over by William Barnes, former republican | P! state chairman, Mr. Hughes spoke at Oneida, Am- sterdam, gchentcmdy and Troy, on his way here. The addresses at Oneida-and Amsterdam were five- minute talks, in which the nominee reiterated briefly his attitude toward the chief issues of the day. The speech at Schenectady was before an audience that had awaited his arrival for more than an hour, Many per- sons were turned away from this meeting unable to gain entrance to the hall. Don't Like Criticism. “Our opponents do not seem to like “| the idea of criticism with respect to international policy,” Mr. Hughes said in his Schenectady speech. “But I beg to remind them that an Ameri- can president is elected for a term of four years, and under our insti- tutions, at the conclusion of that term, the American people express their minds. “When a matter is so important as the maintenance of American rights, it is highly necessary that American opinion should be expressed; and I have no apology to make in stlndin? before you and in saying that if am elected president, Y propose that the American flag shall not be only a symbol of curtesy, a symbol of justice—but it shall be the symbol of firmness- and consistency in main- taining our known rights on land and sea throughout the world. Not a Policy of War. “That is not a policy that leads to war. There never has been a time perhaps in our history, when it was easier to keep the American nation out of war than during the last few years when every nation engaged in the great strife abroad desired our tack upon the administration with ref- friendship, and would not by reason of any assertion of our just rights, forfeit that friendship. “I desire to see American enterprise advanced throughout the world. 1 want to see in the coming days of keen commercial rivalry, representa- tives of American industry carrying their talents to the service of the world in foreign lands. It is idle, however, to expect suctess in that di- rection if we do not have full pro- tection to those who represent our interests abroad. Meaning of the Flag. “I am amazed to have anyone sup- pose that we can prosper in the ex- tension of American trade through- out the world if our flag is only an invitation to come home, before election are described as hav- ing the best genius in the world and as doing a duty to humanity should not be in danger, after election, of being called servants of their own rivate interests who take their lives in their own hands for their personal ends. “The dignity of American citizen- ship, of one who is lawfully follow- ing his vocation anywhere—his rights are recognized by our laws and con- stitution as pertaining to American citizens throughout the world. These are not gifts for the administration to bestow or withhold in its dis- cretion; rather these are trusts to be sacredly guarded.” - N Mr. Hughes assailed the administra- tion for its Mexican policy. He de- clared that the question of recogniz- ing Huerta .was “beside the mark” and not an issue. “And I refer to it only because of the very cruel and unwarantable suggestiuns that an ap- proval of my caadidacy is an approval of war,” he said, “as though our op- ponents had in some way acquired a monoply on peace.” “I mean to emphasize that the policy of the administration has béen, in my judgment, not a policy of peace, but rather a policy involving | . petty and unjustifiable warfare; and I propose that we have a policy which shall have as its cornerstone, first, that we shall not have a muddle of meddle, as Disraeli once said, but that we shall have protection of American lives and property, and the prosecution of a consistent palicy which cannot fail to evoke respect while it safeguards the rights of American citizens. “We hear.a great deal of talk, not only with reference to peace, but with respect to prosperity, The interest- ing thing about it is that these sug- gestions, which are intended to have political effect, when examined .and considered and analyzed lead to just the opposite conclusions which those putting forward the suggestions in- tend to present to the public mind. e S S A Smashing Demonstration of Preparedness ST s 4 CoPvRIONT INTE JOHN A, SWANSON, Pres. —E@@—WM.
