Hughes, in Chicago Coliseum, Tells
People Where He Stands on Issues
Chicago, Aug. 9. Before an rn
thualaatlc audience and one that com
pletely filled the Coliseum, Cliarlea E.
Hufhei, tho republican nominee, In
hit address aald:
"I coma to thla hall with peculiar
motion . Hera, a little leaa than two
months ago, the republican national
convention nominated tn (or the of
fice of prealdent of the United Statea,
I had not sought that nomination I
did not dealre that nomination! I was
contented with my work, and looked
forward to fulfilling the slotted period
of life In work that waa congenial and
of the highest Importance to the
American people, B'tt, when that eall
came, it did not admit of an Instant's
hesitation; it meant but one thing, a
eummona to an obvioua obligation;
and, aa I waa, while on the bench, 100
per cent a Judge, I then became 100
per eent a candidate.
"I dealred if the American people ao
willed to dedicate myself to the cauie
of American government, not for par.
titan expediency, not for frienda, not
for political aupportera, but for the
Amerlean people aolely.
"1 hold the nigheat partisan expedi
ency to be an administration of ca
pacity for aervlee to the country,
- Pacing the Question.
"If anything In this campaign la
real It la that we are now facing the
question whether we want words or
whether we want deeds; whether we
want that which la written and spoken,
or whether we want American action
In the Intereate of the American peo
ple, worthy of the American name,
maintaining the American honor ana
buttressing the prosperity of the
United States,
"One of the very serious charges
which might be laid against the pres
ent administration is the eharge of
putting Incompetent men into impor
tant positions. That la not for the
benefit of democracy, And I now, In
thla place where I was nominated,
without any regard to political future,
say this;
. That If I am elected president of
the United Statea I propose that every
man that I put In eharge of an impor
tant department ehall be a man emi
nently fit to discharge the dutiee of
that department .
"I propose that In diplomatic aerv
lee training ahall count something. I
propose that when a man goes from
thla country to represent the great
American people In another nation
and I do not care whether it is a email
nation or a big nation, for we want
our Influence- Tn small and great I
propose that that man shall be a
worthy representative to whom the
people to whom he Is accredited to
will look with respect and esteem, see
ing In him the efficiency of the great
United Statea.
la Capital Offense.
"I pointed Out last night in my
speech in Detroit the lamentable way
In which our diplomatic aervice had
been denuded of men of experience in
order to supply political joba. I count
that a capital offense. It is trading in
the good name of the United States.
It la trading In the honor of the
United Statea. Nobody has a right to
pay political debta with the good
name and the honor of the United
States,. v
"In Janto Domingo we had a spe
cial trust - We had taken over the
management of the finances of that
little people;- Wet were there, the
great United States, showing what
this republic could do in a plain busi
ness proposition. And now let me
read some familiar words, addressed
to the receiver general by the then
secretary of atate. He said this:
" 'Now. that you have arrived and
are acquainting yourself with the situ
ation, can you let me know what posi
tiona you nave at your disposal with
which to reward deserving democrats?
I do not know to what extent the
knowledge of the Spanish language is
neceeaary for employes. Let me know
what ia requisite, together with the
salary and when appointments are
likely to be made.'.
"Should not every American hang
- his head in ahame that auch a thing
should occur in our highest depart
ment of government?
' Still Another Side.
"New there is another side that I
wish to ' apeak of with respect to a
business-like administration. . Four
years ago the democratic party in its
platform accused the republican party
of waate and extravagance. They said
that they were going to be economi
cal When they got in they were more
- waatefnl and more extravagant than
any administration ever had been.
"I don't care, if I am elected presi
dent, what becomes of my personal
political fortunes. I propose that we
ahall have government in a business
like way. We won't have any more,
if I can atop it of these 'Kiss nee and
I'll kiss you' appropriations in con
gress. "We have today no examination In
'a critical and proper way of the de
mands upon the government auch as
any corporation would expect. I am
!lad that the republican platform put
orth a keynote when it demanded a
business-like, responsible budget; and,
if I am elected president I propose to
see, ao far aa executive authority will
permit that we get rid of this travesty
of administration and have i business
like budget by which we can under
stand what we ought to pay, what our
comparative needs are, what our In
come is to satisfy them, and by which
responsible administration can be se
cured. I am a lawyer, but I have
grown up alongside of busineas men
and I have respect for the facte. I
do not want any hot air in mine.
Regard for Independence.
"I have no respect for the idea that
because democratic government la a
government of the people, bv the peo
ple, and for the people, it la a gov
ernment of the foolish, for the foolish,
and by the foolish.
"Yon must have regard for the In
dependence of this country. We have
learned a few things of late. Those
that were talking tariff for revenue
only are now whispering very softly
about a tariff commission. A little
while ago we heard in the democratic
platform of 1912 that it waa contrary
to 'the constitution of the United
Statea to have a protective tariff. That
was in effect of courae, not in words,
. but the words mean simply this they
aay, in .effect now that the European
war has changed the constitution of
the United States.
."They have been preaching a doc
trine for generations which looking at
what they call the revolution produced
by the treat conflict abroad,' they
hardly utter today. But do you think
they are converted? Don't you trust
them a little minute with protecting
American industry; they haven't got
it in their bones, and they go up to
it tike a skittish horse to a brass
band. You couldn't get a decent pro
tectionist measure out of a democratic
congress acctionally organized any
more than you could get a revival
sermon out of a disorderly house.
You cannot do it.
Methods That Meet Needs.
"I desire that there shall be me
thods which will meet the needs of
the coming day indeed of thia day.
We must Team to have co-operation.
We cannot afford to be running along
without any regard to business stand
ards. We need examination of costs,
comparison of costs, a fair under
standing of methods, a testing out
of methods, an exchange of informa
tion, an endeavor to ascertain what
method is a good one, where waste
can be avoided, what can be intelli
gently used in order to promote the
business of a given industry.
It is in that way that our laboring
men will find the greatest opportuni
ties for increase in wages.
"The reoub lean party is the great
national party. I tell you, my friends,
the present administration ia a sec
tional adminiatration and there ia a
profound truth in that .
"Now, my friends, we want not
only American efficiency in business,
efficiency in the organization of busi
ness, in the protection of the factors
of human industry and commerce, we
want the American nag unsullied ana
the American name honored through
out the world.
"Our friends on the other side are
very sensitive and about Mexico they
say, 'why, that ia all past. Isn't that
all past?' "No the worst of it is
that it is ail past ana tnat we cannoi
ret at if. but that record is an im
perishable record of weakness and va
cillation that torteits or snouia tor
feit, the confidence of the American
people." The question ia not simply
ai to that act or thia act but it is
a record which is so changeful, so
full of wrong-headedness, so incon
stant, so destitute of correct purpose,
that we cannot review it aave with
the conclusion that we cannot aafely
entrust the welfare of the American
people, the honor of the American
name and the protection of American
citizens to an administration which
has been guilty of the actions which
constitute that record.
"What the administration could
have done is plain. But it had no
right to commit thia country to a
courae of conduct- which landed Mex
ica in anarchy, left our citizens a
prey to the ravages of revolution, and
made our name a word of contempt
in a aister. republic.
"Now the correct way was this: If
the administration had at the outset
said to Huerta, 'We will recognize
you If you can perform your interna
tional obligationa, if you have got a
real government that can discharge
its duties we won't recognize you un
less we are satisfied that you have.
But there is one thing that you and
evervone else must understand, and
that ia this, American life and the
property of American citizens if)
Mexico must be protected, and we
will aee to it
No Policy In Mexico.
"That waa the itraight and correct
policy. That waa the one thing that
the adminiatration ought to have
done, and the one thing that It did
not do.
"When men who had been deserted
by their government; when our war
ships lett Ban : reo.ro ana auowca
British and German warships to res
cue our own oeoole thii.k of it when
we had run away when one of the
cabinet officers was asked about it
what do you suppose he said? He re
plied: You went down there to make
money, didn't you?
"The idea of any American, the
representative of this government,
daring to hold an office in this country
and being traitorous to that primary
duty of government; the protection
of the lives of it citizens.
"We cannot let the American spirit
fall ao low that lapped in the luxury
occaaioned by a foreign war, we shall
see American uvea sacrificed without
a determination to prevent it and to
make the American name honored
and respected wherever our nag flies.
The trouble with thia administration
is this; I don't think it has ever had
a policy in Mexico worthy of the
name. ,

Washington, Aug. 9. Adverse con
ditions, due to weather, plant dis
ease and insects, damaged the coun
try's principal crops during July and
resulted in a loss of 105,000,000 bush
els in prospective wneat production,
,000,000 in corn and 43,000,000 bush
els less of oats than predicted by the
Department of Agriculture at the be
ginning of July.
Information More Definite, -
More definite information regarding
the size of the important farm crops
was given today by the Department or
Agriculture in its monthly crop report
when forecasters of production as
based on conditions existing August
1 were given. The corn crop, which
may equal last year's record-breaking
crop when more than 3.000,000,
000 bushels were grown for the
first time in history, was making satis
factory growth with favorable warm
weather, but in some sections was suf
fering for rain at the most critical
period of the growing season. Winter
wheat harvesting had progressed fa
vorably aa far north as South Da
kota, lower Michigan and New York
and had been finished in southern
Iowa, central Illinois, northern In
diana, Ohio and southern Pennsyl
vania, while harvesting had begun in
Washington, Oregon and Idaho. The
yield was better than expected on
the north Pacific coast and is general
ly good in Nebraska and Kansis.
Threshing was going on in the cen
tral states.
Rapid growth of spring wheat was
reported from Washington and Mon
tana, but in North Dakota and Min
nesota it has been too hot for satis
factory progress.

Washington, Aug. 9. Formal an
nouncement was made today by Act
ing Secretary Polk of the acceptance
