HUGHES OUTLINES
POLICY FOR PARTY
Republican Nominee Clearly
States Issue Before People
and Takes His Stand.
NO DOUBT AS TO POSITION
(Continued r'rom Pat v.c.)
ject of protecting the public interest
on oe tuny secured wunouc uncer
tainties or conflicts and without ham
pering the development and expansion
ot transporation (acuities, tnis na
tional end may be accomplished with
out the sacrifice of any interest that
is essentially local, or witnout weak
emng public control. Uur presen
system is crude and inadequate. More
over, in the severe economic struggle
that is before us, and in seeking, as
we should, to promote our productive
industries and to expand our com
merce notably our foreign commerce
we shall require the most efficient
organization, quite as efficient as that
found in any nation abroad. There
must be no unnecessary wastes and no
arbitrary obstructions. We have de
termined to cut out. root and branch
monopolistic practice, but we can do
this without hobbling enterprise or
narrowing the scope ot legitimate
achievement. Again, we must build
un our merchant marine. It will not
aid to put the government into c6mpc
tition with ornate owners. That, ii
seems to me. is a counsel of folly.
A surer way of destroying the prom
ise of our foreign trade could hardly
be devised. It has well been asked
does the government intend to operate
it a profit or at a loss.' We neeti tne
encouragement and protection of gov
ernment for our shipping industry, but
it cannot afford to have tne govern
ment as a competitor.
For Interest of Labor.
"We stand for the conservation of
the just interests of labor. We do not
desire production, or trade, or ef
ficiency in either, for its own sake
but for the betterment of the lives of
human beings. We shall not have any
lastinor industrial prosperity, unless
we buttress our industrial endeavors
Dy aucquaic means iui int
of health; for the elimination of un
necessary perils to life and limb; for
the safeguarding of our future
through proper laws for protection of
women and children in industry; for
increasing oDOortunities for education
and training. We should be solocitious
to inquire carefully into every griev
ance, remembering that there are few
disputes which cannot easily be ad
justed it mere De an impartial ex
amination of the facts. We make
common cause ill this country, not
for a few, but for all; and our watch
word must be co-operation, not exploitation.-
No plans will be adequate
save as they are instinct witn genuine
democratic sympatny.
"I stand for adeouate federal work
men's compensation laws, dealing not
only with the employes of govern
ment, but with those employes who
are engaged in interstate commerce,
inJ in suhirrt to the hazard of in
jury, so that those activities which
are within the sphere of the constitu
tional authority of congress may be
dealt with under a suitaDie law.
Agricultural Conservation.
"We propose to promote by every
practicable means our agricultural in
terests and we include in this program
an effective system ot rural creaits.
We favor the wise conservation of
our natural resources. We desire not
only that they shall be safeguarded,
but that they shall be adequately de
veloped and used to the utmost public
advantage.
National Tnisteeshio Philippines,
"We turn to other considerations of
important policy. One of these is our
attitude toward the rnuippines. mat,
I may say, is not a question of self
Mtwof Wp havp assnmpd interna
tional obligation? which we should
not permit ourselves to evade. A
breach of trust is not an admissible
American policy, though our oppo
nents have seemed to consider it
such. We should administer govern
ment in the Philippines with a full
recognition of our international duty,
without partisanship, with the aim of
maintaining the highest standards of
expert administration, and in the in
terest of the Filipinos. This is a mat
ter of national honor.
Woman Suffrage."
"I endorse the declaration in the
platform in favor of woman suffrage.
1 do not consider it necessary to re
view the arguments usually advanced
on the one side or the other, as my
own convictions proceed from a some
what different point of view. Some
time ago a consideration of our
economic conditions and tendencies,
of the position of women in gainful
occupations, of the nature and course
of the demand, led me to the conclu
sion that the granting of suffrage to
women is inevitable. Opposition may
delay, but in my -judgment cannot de
feat this movement. Nor can I see
any advantages in the delay which
can possibly offset the disadvantages
which are necessarily incident to the
continued agitation. Facts should be
squarely met. We shall have a con
stantly intensified effort and a dis
tinctly feminist movement constantly
perfecting its organization to the sub
version of normal political issues. We
shall have a struggle increasing in bit
terness, which I believe to be inim
ical to our welfare. If women are to
have the vote, as I believe they are,
it seems to me entirely clear that in
the interest of the public life of this
country, the contest should be ended
promptly. I favor the vote for women.
Administrative Efficiency.
"Confronting every effort to im
prove conditions, is the menace of in
competent administration. .It is an
extraordinary notion that democracy
can be faithfully served by inexpert
ness. Democracy needs exact knowl
edge, special skill and thorough train
ing in its servants. I have already
spoken of the disregard of proper
standards, in numerous instances, in
appointments to the diplomatic serv
ice. Unfortunately there has been a
similar disregard of executive respon
sibility in appointments to important
administrative positions in our do
mestic service. Even with respect to
technical bureaus the demands of
science have been compelled to yield
to the demands of politics.
"We have erected against impor
tunities of spoilsmen the barriers of
the civil service laws, but under the
present administration, enactments
providing for the creation of large
numbers of places have been deliber
ately removed from the merit sys
tem. The principle of our civil serv
ice laws have been shamelessly
violated. We stand for fidelity to
these principles and their consistent
application. And, further, it is our
purpose that administrative chiefs
shall be men of special competence
eminently qualified for their impor
tant work.
"Our opponents promised economy,
but they have shown a reckless ex
travagance. They have been wasteful
and profligate. It is time that we
had fiscal reform. We demand a
simple business-like budget. I be
lieve it is only through a responsible
budget, proposed by the executive
that we shall avoid financial waste
and secure proper administrative ef
ficiency, and a well-balanced con
sideration of new administrative
proposals.
"We live in a fateful hour. In i
true sense the contest for the preser
vation of the nation is never ended.
We must still be imbued with the
spirit of heroic sacrifice which gave
us our country and brought us sairlv
through the days of civil war. We re
new our pledge to the ancient ideals
of individual liberty, of opportunity
denied to none because of race or
creed, of unswerving loyalty. We
have a vision of America prepared
and secure; strong and just; equal to
her tasks; an exemplar of the capacity
and efficiency of a free people. I en
dorse the platform adopted by the
convention and accept its nomination."

Escaped Convict 1
Who Became Chief
Of Police, Pardoned
Macon, Ga.. July 31. Thomas Ed
gar Stripling, who for nearly four
years, while an escaped convict from
Georgia, served as chief of police at
Danville, Va., under the name of R.
E. Morris, passed through here en
route to join his family at Columbus,
Ga., and announced that news of his
pardon Saturday by Governor Nat E.
Harris had been followed by an or
der from Danville for him to resume
his position as police chief there.
Stripling killed his neighbor, W. 1.
Cornett, in Harris county, Georgia, in
1897 and after sentence to life im
prisonment escaped. He went to Vir
ginia and became head of the Dan
ville police force. In 1911 he was
identified and brought back to Geor

World Powers Keep Jealous Eyes on
ah strategic forts tor
Coal Piles.
Every world power casts covetous
eyes on available sites for coaling
ports for its naval and mercantile
fleets. On the confined shores of the
Yellow Sea three great powers estab-
ished coaling bases at Fort Arthur.
at Weihaiwei and at Kiaochau.
Our own government, with an ear
open to faint sounds, keeps an eye
peeled on St. Thomas and the coast
of Mexico, ever watching for mysteri
ous doings or slightest suspicion of
ranster ot domain to another power.
To guard the trade routes and ap
proaches to the Gulf of Mexico the
Navy department at Washington has
established a most important coaling
base at Guantanamo, Luba. Thus all
three routes to the gulf through the
Florida Straits between Key West and
Cuba, through the Windward Passage
between Guantanamo and Haiti and
the passages either side of Porto
Rico are now controlled by Ameri
can bases.
In the Pacific the coaling station.
Honolulu, with a storage capacity of
165.000 tons, provides ample supplies
for the needs of warships guarding
the approaches across the Pacific. In
contrast to the Gulf of Mexico and
tne racuic routes ana tnose to soutn
American ports, the trade routes of
the world are practically dominated in
time of war by English coaling ports
an essential ownership to England,
for of the forty-seven important
steamship companies of the world to
day thirty-two ot them are British.

ersian Trade jn Opium
Has Increased Rapidy
(Correspondence of Yh.
Rotterdam. Netherlands, lulv 21.
The prohibition of the import of
opium in China has been responsible
for a big expansion in Persia's trade
with the Dutch East Indies. Accord
ing to the report for 1915, drawn up
by the Persian consul at Rotterdam,
that country's exports to the Dutch
colonies in 1913-14 increased about
sixfold, viz.. from some $185,000 to
$1,186,000. Persian opium is now ex
ported in the Netherlands East In
dies, being thence re-exported to
Formosa, making up practically the
whole of the total figure mentioned.

Side by Side the
Amreican and Mex
Men Fight Bandits
San Antonio, Tex. July 31. Car
ranzista and United States troops
fought side by side in the engagement
with Mexican bandits south of Fort
Hancock, Tex., today, according to
the official report from Brigadier
General Hell, jr., at El Paso to Major
General Funston tonight.
A Carranza captain and eight sol
diers responded to an appeal for aid
from the American side of the Rio
Grande, the report says. The bandits
fled and retreated over the river, leav
ing behind four dead.
The American dead numbered two:
Private John Twoney, F troop,
Eighth United States cavalry.
Robert Woods, customs guard.
The report to General Funston does
not make clear the manner in which
the fight which took place about 1:30
a. m., began, nor does it indicate the
object of the bandits in crossing to
the American side. General Funston
said it was possible, however, that the
bandits when surprised by the Amer
icans were attempting to escape from
the Carrinzistas. who later engaged
them in the battle. The latter had
been in pursuit of the marauders for
several days.
The Carranzistas followed the es
caping bandits across the Rio Grande.
General Funston said no American
troops would join the chase.
