Cincinnati Address Is Open
ing Cnn of Republican
Campaign in Ohio; Cool
idge Ts Eulogized.
Demos C Mo Relief
Cincinnati, Oct 4.—The repub
lican presidential campaign in Ohio
was formally bpenod tonight with
Secretary Hughes ns chief speaker,
his address covering almost every is
sue raised thus for by either demo
cratic or independent orators.
“Whatever may he the subject of
campaign streakers,'' the secretary
declared, "there is really only one is
sue in this campaign and that is—
shall the administration of Calvin
Coolldge be continued?
“The average man, who is not in
terested in the tactics of the cam
paign says to himself and to his
neighbors—why should there be a
change?’
Taking up first the arguments of
“our historic opponents of the demo
cratic party," Mr. Hughes dismissed
briefly what ho termed "eloquent
discourses on the fundamental prin
ciples of American government,”
"Hoes it occur to our friends, that
if the question is one of American
ism, you could not find in the
length and breadth of the land, a
more typical American than Calvin
Coolldge?" he asked. "Calvin C’ool
idge incarnates Americanism. There
could be no betterment in rhange."
It was "equally vain" to seek an
issue in common honesty, Mr.
Hughes declared.”
Demands of Justice Met.
“We detest political corruption and
we demand the punishment of the
guilty. The republican who soils his
hands iri corrupt dealings is as
treacherous to his party as to id*
country. Every demand of justice
is beipg met and every interest of
the government is being safeguarded.
No guilty person is being protected:
every guilty person will get his just
deserts according to the law of the
land."
The speaker decried, however,
“our opponents swiftly shifting to
general denunciation mingling the
innocent with file guilty in diatribes
which are the last resort of desperate
nocratic arguments
that release from war expenditures
accounted for a saving of $2,041,000,
Mr. Hqghes said that “even on the
statement of our opponents there
would he left over a billion dollars
of reduction in expenditures" not to
be accounted for in that way.
“How was this done?" he demand
ed. "It has been done by upright,
courageous and determined execu
tives tlr- the face of the greatest of
difficulties.".
Praises Tariff.”
Passing on to the tariff, the secre
tary described the present law as a
"highly successful revenue producer
yielding more than any previous tar
iff.
“The fundamental question Is
whether you are going to adhere to
tire principle of protection,” he con
tinued. "We favor a protective tar
iff, not to give privilege to a class,
but to promote the general prosper
ity.”
In taking tip the subject of for
eign affairs, Mr. Hughes charged that
"our opponents offer nothing of con
servative value," although they had
criticized them for three and a half
years "with much fluent inaccuracy.”
“In the conduct of foreign rela
tions we are not seeking party ad
vantage, but to maintain the honor
and protect the interests of the en
tire country,” he said. "For the sake
of these interests we should have so
far as possible, a continuous foreign
policy. Our strength abroad largely
depends upon our unity at home.
The secretary recounted at some
length the results of the Central
American conference, American with
drawal from the domlnlcan republic
and progress made in Haiti. He sum
marized his review of Hatln-American
relations by the statement:
Scoffs Demo league Stand.
“Our relations with Tallin America
are on a better footing than ever be
fore."
The Washington arms conference,
he Bald, had “dissipated the clouds
and suspicion which had darkened the
eastern sky," and added that Its
achievements had "elicited the ap
proval of the world."
At another point and In answer In
democratic attacks for failure to par
ticipate in international conferences,
Mr. Hughes said:
"We believe in Internationa! con
ferences, but conferences are directed
at objects, anil when we participate
it must he to the extent that we can
make good our obligations according
to^ our system of government and In
accordance with the dominant senti
ment of our people. The form and ex
tent of our participation are govern
e.l by these principles.”
The democratic attack seemed to
have special reference to the league
of nations and its committees, Mr.
Hughes said, adding that if the de
mand were that tire United States
should Join the league and thus fully
participate, "that would be an under
standable demand."
“Cut it Is precisely the position
which the democratic parly has re
fused to take." he continued, "ft has
declined, for reasons of its own, to
make the question of Joining the
league an issue in this campaign.”
Scores Third Party.
The Washington conference and th»
Hawes plan, Mr. Hughes declared,
.yorld as the "greatest contributions
out by impartial persons over the
world ns the “greatest oonlrigiitlnn*
to tire Interest of peace In lei-not dlf
ficult rears."
J'.r. Hughes reserved his fire al lire
till'd ticket until tho close of his nd
•>—
dress. It offered, he said, a "definite
program,” but he added that remedies
for abuses could be found "without
overturning our Institutions."
“I do not believe” the secretary
continued, "in witch doctors or In
beating tomtoms to exercise evil
spirits, Instead of seeking a suitable
hygiene to get the full benefit of n
sound constitutional system.”
The first effect of the Independent
movement, in case of success, would
be "no election at all,” Mr. Hughes
declared, adding:
"The third party begins hy threat
ening us with confusion and panic.”
The second effect would be to "tie
up the organization of congress,” he
continued, and added:
Oppose Referendum.
"Whatever difficulties other coun
tries may have with numerous par
ties and coalitions, it is plain that our
system breaks down when such rti
visive endeavors even threaten to
prevent us from electing a president.”
The third ticket proposal for a na
tionwide initiative and referendum,
Mr. Hughes said, "is a plan of those
who mistake agitation for progress.”
What re-ally was needed, he added,
was to improve and strengthen rep
resentative government, "not to di
lute it.”
But, Mr. Hughes declared, "the most
serious and dangerous aim of the
third party," seems to be Its "assault
upon the Jurisdiction of the supreme
court in the interpretation of the
constitution.” This was far more
than a mere assault upon the court,
he continued, adding:
"It is an assault upon the states.
When tills government was founded,
the smaller states feared the control
of the larger states. What was pos
sible then, Is even more possible now
wit h the great concentration of popu
lations.”
Plead* for Constitution.
The framers of the constitution had
not deemed the protection afforded by
the senate, where every state stood
on an equality, a sufficient protection
of the smaller states, Mr. Hughes
argued. It therefore limited the pow
ers of congress specifically, he added,
continuing:
"Is congress to have the power to
override these limitations of its own
authority? Then these limitations
might as well be abrogated. What use
is a limitation which the one limited
can disregard at will? The proposal
of the third party would mean the
enthronement of the congress over
the states. The congress Could pass
any act it pleased, curtailing or de
stroying the rights of the states. The
safeguard of reserved power of the
states the third party proposes to de
stroy.
"If the proposal of the third party
were adopted, everything you have,
the security of your person and life,
| would be held at the mercy of con
gress. And they call that progress! '

12 Nebraska Feet; Read Character of Owners
These pictures are of the feet of the following person : (II (ins Rente. (?) Dorothy Devere, (3) Mrs. Russell
Fowles, (4) Miss Kninia Lazenby, (5) Police Commissioner llenry Dunn, (6) Miss S. Cluxton.
The way one plants one's feet upon
the ground Is said by certain ortho
pedic philosophers to be a sure index
to character.
If the feet grip the ground firmly
It means a powerful fellow, who won’t
be turned aside in his desires.
If they shift back and forth, look
out, for the possessor of such pedal
extremities is a crafty person.
Cecil De Mille, director general of
Prtiiamount Pictures, declares that be
fore he produced "Feet of Clay" he
studied the feet of the inen and wom
en cast for roles in that picture.
We are presenting here a varied
assortment of Omaha feet. They
show several positions of feet while
individuals are relaxing. tJus Renz,
who designed and supervised the con
struction of the floats in the electrical
parade, has his brognns planted firm
ly On the ground.
Dorothy Devere, petite danseuse.
had her dainty feet snapped in the
unconventional pose noted above.
Mrs. Russell Fowles of North
Platte, woman's state golf champion,
has feet which know nearly every
fairway and putting green In the
state, and many in other states.
Miss Knnna Lazenby, cosmetologist
operator, apparently has lofty tdeals,
for here we see her headed that way.
No Foot Notes Needed.
Police Commissioner Dunns stance
signifies a firm understanding of
things pertaining to golf, business af
fairs and politics.
MDs S. Cluxton Is a buyer of cloaks
and suits for the Brandeis store.
Would that not Indicate that she is a
business woman and a good bargain
er? Nti foot notes are needed here.

A new clause has been added to the
Jury duty notices whh h are being
sent to voters of Douglas county who
were drawn for tl^e opening of the
fall term of the district court,
October 6.
The clause informs all those notl
fied that the notice Is null and void
If they have moved outside the con
fines of Douglas county.
"It waa a necessary move," Wil
liam- D. McHugh, Jr., declared. "Ev
eryone Is supposed to know that re
moval from a county terminates all
liability to jury duty in that county.
"Rut It seems that some were nev
er told of this. There was one man
during the last term of court who
had moved to Scottsbluff. He an
swered his summons nnd then want
ed transportation charge* here and
bark. Another went to the county at
torney of tKe county to which he had
moved in Iowa. The county attorney
told him to answer. He did.
“There is no fund provided to care
for rases of this kind so we have add
ed the latest Instruction Just to wave
trouble."
