Nominee Repeats What He
Would Have Done in the

CLOSE OF
ED TOUE
Youngstown, O., Oct. 20. Charles
E. Hughes, reiterating that Ire meant
.J what he said in Louisville Ihe other
f night about the course he would have
,3 followed with reference to the Lusi
tania, tonight replied to a recent ut
f terance of Secretary McAdob, with
i the declaration that apparently
f seemed impossible to the administra
' tion that one could mean what he
y said. ?
"Now rises the secretary of the
,' treasury to complain that this was
not a 'statement of what 1 would
have done, had the sinking occurred,1
t Mr. Hughes said, after reiterating
(that he would have stated his position
"unequivocally" in advance of the
I sinking.
II.' "I was under the impression that
Jt, when I said what I would have stated
1. in advance as to what I would do,
f everyone would know that I stated
what intact, I would have done in
;f .the described event The secretary's
j remarks shows in an illuminating
I way this administration's conception
i ' of the value of words.
Means What tie says.
"It apparently seems impossible to
this adminstration that one can mean
what he says. That is its difficulty.
With it, a threat of action does not
K seem to mean anytning our worus.
My position is soniewnat amerenr.
"I mean what I say and because
this would have been well known and
we should already have had a repu
tation for correct policies, I repeat
that the Lusitania would not have
been sunk."
Mr. Hughes spoke before an audi
y ence m the theater here. Me also
j plied toa statement attributed to Sec
I retary of War Baker in a recent
speech, in which Washington s sol-
j: :.. .u - u fll.... tr
t uicr in iiic iiidif.il iu v aiicj
' in the days of the American revolu
tion, were said to be just as bad
characters as the Mexicans. ..
"I never supposed the day would
come, Mr. nughes said, -nen tne
ernment would say that about those
who gave us our liberties."
Americans Should Blush.
, After quoting the statement attrib
uted '"to Secretary Baker, Mr.
Hughes read from Secretary Lans
ing's description in June last of the
atrocities in Mexico, contained in a
- note to the de facto government of
Mexico. Mr. Lansing's recital of the
civil strife itK. Mexico, with its -attendant
loss oh American life and
destruction of American property,
and that portion of the note relating
to the Santa Ysabel massacre, were
read by Mr. Hughes verbatim. 1
"An adminstration imbued, with the
spirit of true Americanism," Mr.
Hughes said, "would be incapable of
this statement attributed to the sec
retary of war. It must .bring the,
blush of shame to the cheek of every
American' that apologies for the de
plorable record in Mexico should be
made after this fashion," ' ,
, Back to New York.
Mr. Hughes' speech' here tonight
was the last of his third presidential
campaign trip. He left here at 11 p.
tn., for New York, where he is due
tomorrow- afternoon.- The day was
SDent traveling;, with three short 4d-
dresses.at Bay City, Saginaw and
Flint, Mich. It was raining and the
damp weather affected the nominee's
voice, ' -.i, ' e
In hifihfspeech here tonight Mr,
Hughes said: .-
i.ne presiaent ot tne united
States is the trustee of executive
power. Placed in, control of our
agencies of international intercourse,
he is the guardian of the rights of the
American citizen. He has no author
ity to surrender them; ho right to im
pair them. Upon his firmness in
maintaining that depends our security
and our peace. The democratic plat
form four years ago promised that
the constitutional rights of American
citizens should protect them on our
uoraers ana go witn inem tnrougn-
out the world. When it promised
full protection for American lives and
property abroad it stated an estab
lished American principle. '
Rights of Citizens.
("One of America's greatest jurists,
speaking for the supreme court of
the United States, said many years
ago: 'Another privilege of a citizenj
ot the United states is to demand the
care and protection of the federal gov
ernment over his life, liberty and
property .when on the high seas or
' within the jurisdiction of a foreign
government.'
"Now, we are told that the adminis
tration has turned its back on the
American doctrine of full protection,
t That is what its leading apologist
it is a reversal without authontv and
, in violation of the specific pledge
upon which it was elected. Instead
ot following its clear line of duty
it engaged in a personal, vindictive
y.ar, leaving the lives and property of
jur citizens to ue destroyed.
Direct Effect of Poiicy.
"This deplorable condition de-
titroyed our international prestige.
When the administration did speak
for American rights, its words were
snot taken seriously. Mt had made its
rpnitrar rtn '
is .3 a itauil w. nark ut.ailHVUUII Ul
f American lives and propetty and in
terference with American commerce
Si ...t.:i. A 1 1 . - J T.L
executive has many resources af his
1 command and he can protect our
3 known rights without war.
"Recently, we have had illuminat-
ing utterances from two of the most
J important spokesmen of the admin-
1 'stration two cabinet ministers.
I "The secretary of the treasury finds
I fault with my answer to the question
.1 out to me the other night at Louis
as . ... . ... ... - . ' .
- a v-nie anout tne sinking ot tne Lusi-
1 tania. He savs that I did not sav
n . - . r . . : . J
f what i would have done after the
sinking. . You may recall that I
4 stated finerifirallv the nncirirtn T
would have taken in advance and the
Tf' notice I would have given of the
action I should take; and I added that
with this position unequivocally
stated in advance, and backed by a
v
convincing administration record, the
ship would not have been sunk.
"Now rises the secretary of the
treasury to' complain that this was
not a statement of what 1 would
have done, had,, nevertheless, the
sinking occurred. But, I was under
the impression that when 1 said I
weuld have stated in advance as to
what I would do, everyone would know
that I stated what, in fact, I would
have done in the described event.
The secretary's remark shows in an
illuminating way this administration's
conception of the status of words. It
apparently seems impossible to this
administration ' that one can mean
what he says. That is its difficulty.
With it a threat of action does not
seem to mean anything but words.
.My position is somewhat different. I
mean what I say and because this
would have been well known and we
should already had a reputation for
firm and ' correct policies, I repeat
that tne Lusitania would not have
been sunk. -
Baker's Astounding Statement.
"But the most remarkable exhibi
tion of the administration is the re-cceirt-
statement of the secretary of
war. He is reported to have said
and I do not understand that he has
denied the statement as reported T
know that the Mexicans do not re
spect American life and property; 1
know that they do not oav their
debts; that they are ragamuffins; that
tney desecrate church DroDertv: that
their money is no good and that they
are generally worthless. But people
never respect these things in revolu
tions. We did not resoect them in
our civil war. Washington's soldiers
in the march to Vallev Forire stole
everything they could get their hands
on, took the silver vesse Is out nf the
churches'and sold them to buy drink.
They drove the ministers out of the
churches. Their money was worth
less and they were just as bad charac
ters as Mexicans.',
'Now let me read a oart of the
secretary of state's description in June
last qi tne atrocities in Mexico.
Torn With Civil Strife.
For three years the Mexican re
public has been torn with civil strife.
The lives of Americans and other
aliens have been sacrificed. Vast
properties developed bv American can-
ital and enterprise "have been destroyed
or rendered non-productive. Bandits
nave been permitted to roam at will
through the territory contiguous to the
United Mates and to seize, without
punishment or without effective at
tempt at punishment, the property of
Americans, while livesof citizens of
the United States who ventured to
remain in Mexican territory dr to re
main their to protect their interests,
have been taken and in some cases
barbarously taken and the "murderers
have never been apprehended or
brought to justice.'
It would bo tedious to recount in
stance after instance, outrage after out
rage, atrocity after atrocity, to illustrate-the
true nature and extent of.
the widespread conditions of lawless
ness and violence characterized bv
r.utmess Drutaiity. But uncivilized
acts of mutilation were perpetrated.
Meanwhile a party ot unfortunate
American citizens . started bv ' train
from Chihuahua City to visit the Cuii
mines alter- having received assur
ances from the Carranzista authori
ty m the state of Chihuahua that
the country was "safe, and that a guard
on the tram was not necessary. The
Americans held passports or "safe' con
ducts issued by authorities of the de
facto government. January 10. the
ftrain was stopped by Villa bandits
ana eignteen or tne American party
were stripped ol their clothing and
shot Nn 'cold blood, in what is known
as the Santa Ysabel massacre.
Within a month of this barbarous
slaughter of American citizens it was
.notorious fact that Villa was 'then
within, twenty miles, of Cusihuirachic
and publicly stated that his purpose
was to destroy American lives and
property. . N
Villas unhindered activities currmn-
ated in the unprovoked and cold
blooded attack upon American sol
diers and citizens in the town of
Columbus on the night of March 9,
the details of which do not need to
be repeated here in order to refresh
your memory with the heiuousness of
the crime,
"An administration imbued with the
spirit of true Americanism would be
incapable of the statement attributed
to the secretry of war. It must bring
the blush of shame to the cheek of
every American that apologies for the
deplorable record in Mexico should
be made after this fashion.
"We want peace. We want an en
during peace. We cannot have peace,
if we have a decadence of American
spirit. We need no administration
that is comparing those who won and
preserve our liberties to murderers
and raping bandits We want an ad
ministration which will preserve the
honor of the American name."

ynpatriotic Appeal,
Last month a most unpatriotic
and un-American appeal was issued
to the Jews of America by Henry

Wilson, said Mr. Straus kthis even
ing at a meeting which he addressed.
Prof. Hertzog Praises
v This Perfect Laxative
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
an Ideal Remedy for '
Constipation.
In every family there is more or
less occasion for a laxative remedy.
It is to meet this needvthat Dr. Cald
well's .Syrup Pepsin is prepared, and
that this combination of simple laxa
tive herbs with pepsin fulfills its pur
pose is proven by its place'Tn thous
ands of American homes.
Prof. F. J. C. Hertzog, the well
known linguist, 2341 North Orianna
St.; Philadelphia, Pa., wrote to Br.
Caldwell that he has used Or. Cald
well's Syrup Pepsin in his household
with excellent results and that he and
his family consider it indeed a friend
in need, and always keep a bottle of
it on hand. '
Conitipation Is the direct cause of much
eerious Illness and is a condition that should
never be neglected. Harsh cathartics and
violent pura-atives should never be employed
to reli&ve constipation, because the very
violence of their action shocks the entire
system. A mild laxative, such aa Dr. Cald
well's Syrup Pepsin, is far preferable,
n ."OR
being? mild and gentle in its action, without
griping! or other pain or discomfort; it
freedom from atl opiate or narcotic drum
makes it an ideal remedy for fh ldren.

"Together with a mimher of my co
religionists of all shades of political
affiliations, we issued a statement as
Americans of Jewish faith, resenting
this sectarian or group appeal as an
insult to the intelligence and the un
failing patriotism of American Jews,
from the beginning of our govern
ment to the present time." 1
He declared that every president
had done justice by the Jews, but
that no president should stoop to
asking them to pay for the protection
and recognition which they as Ameri
cans were entitled, by either votes or
campaign cortrfhutions.
"It is an insult to you, my fellow
citizens," declared Mr:' Straus, "to
assume that you will vote as Jows
and not as Americans. Jews have
never voted in groups, and I hope
the time will never come when my
coreligionists in this country will so
forget their Americanism as to cast
a group vote."
