HUGHES ANSWERS
ADAMSONACT QUERY
Says He Would Have Cone to
American People in Effort
to Stop Strike.
FACES rKIENDLY AUDIENCE
(OMttanei from Paara One.)
field has taken you from the bench
and put you up . as their standard
bearer. Is that right?"
There were tries of "no I no!" and
put him out!" it was some time betort
Mr.' Hughes could make himself
heard, "One moment," the nomiiiet
shouted to the crowd, "one moment
please." When some sort of order
was restored, the nominee went on "1
am not here, sir, as the standard bearer
of any one group or set, but desiroui
to serve the whole of the American
people."
The house roared again, the heckler
sat down and the nominee went on
with his speech. .
"Now that I am on this personal
note," Mr. Hughes said, "let me re
call some of the unusual circum
stances under which I entered public
life. You may recall that there were
some verv imnortant investigations in
the city of New York. The first of
these had relation to the charge to
be made for gas. I was requested by
a legislative committee to undertake
that investigation. I had no desire
to undertake any inquiries which
could bave possibly any political re
lation or any other purpose than to
ascertain exactly what was fair and
tust
"The assurance was given me that
I would have a free hand for that
f impose. We went ahead on that
me, and as a result, the city of New
York had legislation in its favor by
which the consumers of gas paid a
rate as fixed by law and sustained by
the courts, ot 60 cents
' Life Insurance Probe.
"Then followed an investigation of
much wider concern. It related to
the security of the homes of America.
It related to the security of those
who, through life insurance, had en
deavored to protect their wives and
their children against the hazard of
, untimely death. We had in that a
very laborious inquiry. It brought t
my attention a great variety of mat
ters deeply affecting the interests of
the community.
"We endeavored to safeguard the
policy holders of the nation by wise
legislation, regulating our lite tnsur
ance enterprise. We endeavored to
see to it that public supervision
should be entirely impartial and
wholly efficient in the interest of
those concerned In this great enter
prise.
Called to Governorship. '
"I was called from this to the gov
ernorship of the state. , I went with
a great deal ot information with re.
soect to the conduct of public busi
ness. I went to the governor's chair
with this determination: That while
I sat there, there would be no influ
ence or oower which should in any
way affect my action sb as to be in
the slightest degree injurious to the
welfare of all the people In that
atate.
The crowd Interrupted with a yell
Who s all right r some on shouted.
The answer came from every section
ot the house in a roar;
"Hughes!"
f Naiv I rfir in rhia H Mr. Huo-htt
' continued, "because there has been re
cently an extraordinary statement
made that in some way 1 have become
a sponsor for invisible government.
Such a preposterous charge needs no
attention and yet 1 should like to take
against every subversion of the ma
advantage of the fact that it has been
uttered to remind the American peo
ple of one or two things.
No Barter Then.
( "In the first place, during my gov
ernorship at Albany, there was no
barter of appointments for-legisla
tion.
"In the next place, legislation was
CMieidered upon its merits in the
open. '
"There was no semblance of in
- visible government ' You cannot find
a man in New York state who would
stand up and honestly My that dur
ing my term, mere was a suggestion
of any secret or imoroDer influence
with respect to executive action at
an times.
j 'At the tame time we had leeista-
tion dealing with the great subject
of the regulation of the nublie utili
ties. .There were men who did not
i at that time see the importance of
that action. We thought that it was
time to vindicate the supremacy of
the public interest. We did not buy
our way through the legislature; we
aid not compromise with orinciDle.
We went straight to the people of
the atate, and the people sustained
our policies and they were enacted
into law. ,
Against Invisible Government
"I desire to sav to mv fellow citi
xens that no one more than I, stands
determinedly against everv influence
of the invisible government, against
every alliance ot business and poll
tics, against every subversion 6f the
machinery of government to any
private purpose, against every means
, oi corruption in our public lite.
"And I should not want to occupy
the highest station in the gift of the
people except upon the terms upon
which I shall occupy it if called; and
; that is. that there is no promise or
obligstion to any man, and that we
win stand there with visible govern
ment, according to our constitutional
system, in the interest of all the people
oi tnis tana.
The nominee had imt about rnn
eluded his stuck on the administra
tion for the enactment of the Adam
. son bill when., he was asked if he
would repeal the measure if elected.
' Can't Repeal Measure.
"My dear sir," he replied lo the
question, you cannot repeal a sur
render," The crowd cheered. "You

cannot repeal what has been done by
is abdication of authority, Mr.
Huirhes continued, "and. further, your
question shows that you do not fully
understand the terms of the Adamson
bill.
"Under the Adamson bill it goes
to effect the 1st of January then
ere is a provision that for six
months or nine months there shall
be observations of it working. Six
months is the minor period, nin:
months the maximum period, and
hen the wages, which are to be upon

id until thirty days after the report

"Now, sir, this will have been in
operation for a very long time be
fore I should even take the executive
air. if elected, and will have com
pleted its purpose before congress
would have its session in the follow
ing December.
To Act According to Justice.
"I do 'not suppose that any ques
tion of repeal would be involved, but
I do say that when that questior
arises, if it does arise, if I am elected.
will follow the principle that 1 now
state and have just stated of ascer
taining the exact facts and what jus
tice would dictate ought to be done
that time.
How i Labor Has Won.
"I think that labor, when it takes
account of the whole matter, will
realize that it has won its victories
the oast reoresentinn the plain oeo-
e of the country by the processes of
reason. Those are the processes which
count in the long run. We can have
sturbances; we can have agitation
but i we won't have stability in thai
way. We wont' have a basis for Amer
ican enterprise in that way. It is more
important that we nave stability tor
the working man than for anybody
else in the country. That is the very
foundation of the bright prosperity
that we hope to enjoy, and I 'desire
say this, that i know ot but one
ay of dealing with those problems.
i'e have education, we have schools,
we have newspapers, we have every
variety of instrumentalities for learn
ing what is going on in the world, and
what ought to be done. Let us have
riMifirlane in oraranized nubile mde-
ment. Let .us have commence in the
processes of reason. At any rate, I
think it now ought to be demon
strated in this country that that is
what the majority of our people in
sist upon. Show me an industrial
grievance and I will go to the very
bottom ot it witn trie desire justice
shall be done according to the facts.
Show me a grievance affecting cap
ital and I will go to the bottom of it
with the desire justice shall be done

fore I know what justice requires.
(Applause.) i
1 am very glad to take this op
portunity,' inasmuch as I am not per
haps as well known in Iowa as I am
in New York, to read what organized
labor said of my record in New York.

Friend ol Labor,, 1 :
The stenoiraohic record of the oro-
ceedings showed Governor Hughes
had been enumerating the many laws
for labor enacted by the republican
party while in power. This the re
port showed:
"Now that Governor Hughes has
retired from politics and ascended to
o place on the highest judicial tribunal
in the world, the fact can be acknowl
edged without hurting anybody's -political
corns that he was the greatest
friend of labor laws that ever occupied
the governor's chair at Albany." (Ap
plause.) -
"During his two terms he has signed
fifty-six labor laws, including among
them the best labor laws evet enacted
in this or any other state. He has
urged the enactment of labor laws in
his messages to the legislature, even
going so far as to place the demand
for a labor law in one of his mes
sages to an extra session of the legis
lature. Only 162 labor laws have
been enacted in this state since its
erection in 1777 in 133 years. One
third of these, exceeding in quality all
of the others, have been enacted and
signed during Governor Hughes' term
of three years and nine months."
(Applause.)
Social Legislation.
Mr. Hughes said:
"We had social legislation of great
importance. The reorganization of
our labor department and one act
after another was passed through the
cupport of the people of the state. I
desire to say to my fellow citizens
that no one more than I stands de
termined against every influence of
the invisible government, against
every alliance of business and politics,
chinery of government to any private
purpose, against every means of cor
ruption in our public life. And I
should not want to occupy the high
est station in the gift of the people,
except upon she terms upon which I
shall occupy it if called; and that is
that there is no promise or obligation

Mr. Hughes concluded his speech
with a reiteration oi his denial that a
vote for him meant a vote for war and
of his declaration that he was a "man
of peace." He left here at 11 p. m.

entire day will be spent traveling to

Court Holds that the State
Militiamen Are Soldiers
Boston, Mass., Oct 18.-The United
States circuit court of appeals ruled
today that members of the state mili
tia were still in service for federal
military purpose, notwithstanding
their failure to take the oath under
the national defense act of last June.
This decision reverses a recent order
of the federal district court
The case was considered a test ot
the application of the new law upon
which disnosition of similar cases in
other states will depend.

Chicago, Oct. 18. Praise for Pres
dent Wilson's diplomatic and legisla
tive achievements and charges that
"Wall street has always dominated
the republican party." and that vic
tory for that party next month would
endanger the country's prosperity,
were voiced here today by William
G. McAdoo, secretary of the treasury.
before a nonpolitical meeting in t
downtown theater.
"The American people are being
asked to put in peril the peace and
prosperity the country is now enjoy
ing under President Wilson by turn
ing their government over to the in
experienced Mr. Hughes and the or
ganized band of incompatible ele
ments which are supporting him."
said Mr, McAdoo.
"For two months they have con
demned every act of the democratic
administration in the most unfair and
untruthful manner, but the American
people are still without a definite an
swer from Mr. Hughes as to what
they will do with the government il
they get possession of it."
