HUGHES STANDING
FIRHLYJBYH1S FLAG
Candidate Says Banner is Still
Where He Put It in New
York.
HIS MIND NOT CHANGED
Los Angeles, Aug. 22. Charles E.
Hughes told an audience in the
Shriners' auditorium last night that
he had not "hauled down the flag"
he put up in New York.
"We have had periods when the
public interest in this country was
ignored, when it was derided and not
safeguarded by law," he said.
I am glad those periods are nasi,
believe they have passed- I believe
there is a new sentiment abroad in
this land which recognizes the inter
ests of communities and that there is
a sentiment which demands protection
of the interests of communities
aoainst all snoliation. against con
spiracy ana against combinations oi
every sort. I am against every anuse
of community interests tor tne sane
of private advantage. I did something
in New lorn along mat line aim i
have not changed my mind a bit in
regard to it.
Never Hauled It Down.
"I also believe that regulation and
supervision by the government is a
mockery unless it is just and square
with the facts. I put that flag up in
New York also and I never hauled
it rfnwn and I never nronoise to.
"There again it is "the question ol
studying the facts, of analyzing the
actual conditions and coming to con
clusions that are fair. What men are
afraid of in this country, on one side
and the other of a great controversy,
is that thev will in "-ne way be taken
into camp, and each side is inclined to
push up its side just a little above
what is lair and rignt. now, let us
have the confidence of honest people
that it is going to protect the public to
maintain individual rignts ana mat n
is going to have justice reign in this
country not because it will help you
as against this one or that one; not
because it will enable you to get this
or that, but because it is justice and
because on justice must be founded
the lasting prosperity ot this nation
Have Passed That Day.
I would have it understood that
we have passed the day when we had
to restrict wnat was icgiumaic u.
order to crush out what was illegit
imate and unfair and illegal. We can
protect ourselves against every kind
of monopolistic practices without
meddling.
"We must not scoff at that which
makes production possible and ex
pands trade. We must cut wnere mere
is abuse, and cut tn order that we
may prepare the way for healthy
action.
While we cannot live nv surpjerv
alone, we can live if we have surgery
clean, skillful; surgery where neces
sary, and that is to build up and
make the patient healthy, to set him
on his feet, to clear the path for his
success. '
Mr- Hughes spoke before his sec
ond audience of the night at the
Shriners' auditorium. The first was
an overflow crowd that stretched
from curb to curb of the wide street
outside for nearly a block.
In his brief address to the over
flow crowd the nominee reiterated his
views on the tanrt, preparedness,
dominant Americanism and industrial
co-operation.

Russ Averv. a lormer progressive,

publican leader of this city.
In closing his address tne nominee
said he claimed the support of all
'republicans and all progressives in
his campaign.
Mr. Hughes left here at 10:15 for
Sacramento where he will speak to
morrow night.
In his address here Mr. Hughes
said in part:
1 his is not an ordinary campaign.
We are to determine in a crucial
period whether we shall halt or ad
vance; whether we shall have foster
ing, ennobling, encouraging policies,
or whether we shall enter, wavering,
half-hearted and uncertain into the
experience which we are sure to meet
when the great fc-uropean war is over.
Devoted to Peace.
I shrink from the contemplation
of the horrors of that war. I am de-
oted to the ideals of peace and I look
with the deepest sense of dismay at
the conflict abroad. But at worst, we
know that the nations at war have not
gone mad; that they are prosecuting
their policies and that each nation
thinks it has had to take the position
it has taken.
"There will emerge from that war
a new hurope, which must be met
by a new America. We cannot meet
the exigencies which are before us
unless we have a patriotic conscience
of our power and of our unity.
1 desire to see throughout this
great land a dominant sense of nation
al unity rising above all differences ol
race and creed, and inspiring us to
a co-operation with the single design
to build up and maintain the honor
and the prosperity of the United
States."
Mr. Hughes spoke of commercial
conditions which he thought would
prevail after the war.
Then let the United States be
warned," he said. "Then let the
United States take count of its re
sources, its talents, its strength, its
capacity for co-operation, its self
knowledge, lhen let the united states
arise and in this commercial rivalry
Drove itself big and strong enough,
with a sense of fellowship deep
enough, to hold its own worthily
among the nations as an exponent of
power and eiticiency under popular
government.
"Let us lay the foundations broad
and deep. This is not the question of
a day. This is not the question ot a
few years. We must plan for a long
period ahead.
"Our national conditions or, rather,
our conditions oi national greateness,
must be looked at in connection with
the betterment of human life for what

there is no possibilitv of permanent
national greatness. We shall succeed
as a great fellowship or we will not
succeed at all.
"The vision that some may have
of little citadels acquired for individual
success, for which the rest of the com
munity may be held up and be com
pelled to par tribute, is a vision of
America of a man with vision and
for whom there is no hope in America.
The path of American success is the
path of conscious co-operation. I
Human Rights Paramount.
"I should protect human life, human
safety, human comfort and regard i
human rights as paramount to every-
thing else, because this is a country

should protect women. 1 should I
protect children. If we take a long
look ahead, we cannot afford to trifle
with the future of the race. Anyone
who would exploit women or children
in industry by unreasonable hours, in
the last analysis, is the enemy of the
productive capacity of this country.
The country cannot stand that sort of
thing.

When you wash your hair, be care

prepared shampoos contain too much
alkali, wnicn is very injurious, i
dries the scalp and makes the hair
brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap, and beats the most ex

pieces. You can get this at any drug
store, ana a tew ounces win msi

Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a leaspoonful is
all that is required. It makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to
handle Besides, it loosens and takes

Fifth Avenue and the -Rue
de Paree pass in review. The
styles that have received the
stamp of approval'of the most
famous old and new world
coutourieres are arriving here
daily in Omaha.
If one could close her eyes and
have a voiced description of the
styles seen, together with an imag
inative setting where Fashion's de
votees parade, the mind picture
would appeal vividly in this manner:
Modish Dresses of satin,
taffeta or serge and com
bination find the high favor
that their worthiness entitles
them to. x
""Look more close!y--one of the most important and pleaj
ing features that Fashion reveals this Fall is the embroid
ered and Beaded Decorations.
"One of the smartest things I havevseen on Fifth
Avenue," said the Woman Who Knows, "are the
beaded bags that go to match the decoration upon
these new dresses."
This vogue for embroidery and beading Is indulged in to
such a large extent that the well-dressed woman on Fifth
Avenue passes with a trimming of fringe on the side ol her
-ijress that is at once striking and effective.
Flowing Veils from small hats reveal the ac
cepted vogue for motor wear.
SO PASSES THE REVUE and the swift transit 'of these
styles from the home of their origination to their presenta
tion in this store enables the women of Omaha to enjoy the
vogue of the minute with scarcely any Intermission between
the conception of the idea and the revelation of the gown
itself. ' ' j
Furs find favor as never before. Miladi must
have of necessity a complete set of furs in addition
to the fur trimmed garments that Fashion puts her
seal upon. "
BUT the Tailored Suit with Its never varying appeal to
trimness, smartness and wonderful utility value, is not to be
sidetracked for any of the newer fads that Fashion offers.
Therefore, it is not surprising to have an announcement like
this -
The Brandeis Apparel Stores offer a wide assort
ment of Tailored Suits-rthe types that every
woman knows as the most reliable wear for her
Fall wardrobe:
Positive information permits us to announce that for early
wear Gabardines and Serges (principally in navy) will be the

Duvetynes, Broadcloths, Velours and a host of other likeable

It would be wise indeed to inspect them now.
