Republican Nominee Says He
' ..Will Choose Ablest Cabinet
That Can Be Secured

Criticises Wilson's Choice for
Secretaries of State
" 1 and the Navy.
DOESN'T MENTION
NAMES
Boston, Oct. 26. Speaking here to
night, Charles E., Hughes, republi
- can nominee for president, asserted
mat, it investea witn executive rc-
sonsibility, he would "'start right."
He said, first thing of all, he would
choose the ablest cabinet to be se
cured in theacountry. He charged
that at that the outset of the present
aumimstration mere were cnosen men
to fill the posts of secretaries of
state and the navv. who "were ab
solutely unequal to the high duties
ot me positions.
Will Start Sight
In his speech here tonight,! M.
nugnes saw: No man can tell m
advance what unexpected demands
the next four years may present, but
one whose conception of a president's
duty rests upon fundamental prin
ciples can describe with entire sin
cerity how the problems of admtnis-
' trations would be approached and in
what spirit they would be solved. The
man charged with the duty of reach
ing a desired goal . may not know
the exact spot in which it is to be
found, but he knows that he will be
able to reach it only by following
that path which sound judgment and
clear vision open up step by step.
"I propose, first of all, to start
right. The president is primarily the
executive. It is his supreme duty . to
attend to the business of the nation,
to safeguard its interests, to antici
pate and understand its needs, to en
force its laws. -....
Must Have Ablest Cabinet. .
"The first act 8f a president, who
takes this ciew of his duties, is to
- call about him the ablest cabinet the
. country can furnish, the most compe
, tent administrative' heads of the vast'
departments of the nation's affairs,
. men who can deal with the tremend
, uous international and domestic
problems which will confront us in
the next foaryears. . ' '-
""My conception of the presidency is
radically different from that which
. seems to have governed the action of
the present administration. I look'
, upon the president as the executive
head of the government. He is its
business manager and considerations
. of mere politics and partisan expedi-
. ency must yield. At the very outset
of the present administration, in the
' r two departments of government most
closely touching our foreign relations
the Department of State and the
Department of the Navy there were
chosen men, who, whatever their ami
able qualities, were absolutely unequal
to the high duties of the positions.
Subordinated to Politics.
s "It is manifest that the great in
terests of the nation and the most im
portant obligations were subordinated
. to a conception of partisan exigency.
I can see far enough into the future
' to assure' the country that if I am
vested with executive responsibility,
it will be discharged upon sound and
administrative principles, through the
ablest cabinet the country can supply.
. ' "Entrusted with the agencies of dip
lomatic intercourse, the president has
in his keeping our international inter
ests and the nation s honor. It
, through his action that we may de
serve and maintain the friendship and
esteem of other nations. We assert
that the peac which the United States,
bpain, Sweden, Norway and the
American republics now enjoy -.shall
be maintained. But I should seek to
maintain our peace by firmness and
consistency which would deserve and
secure the esteem of the world.

Chicago, Oct. 26. Colonel Thek9ft,
dore Roosevelt, in the speech here to
night with which he concluded his
western tour, attacked the Mexican
policy of the Wilson administration as
cowardly and impotent to keep the
respect of the world or this country's
self-respect, and criticised the admin
istration s- action in putting through
the Adamson bill for what he called
political effect. He said in part:
"There are manv thin thin na.

those of Americanism and prepared

Unless we succeed in fusmir all of

in connection with Villa or other
bandits in Mexico, have arranged a
spectacular attack to be made either
upon some part of the American

"It is sufficient that both the State

Wilson Won't Talk.

'America has. now turned its hark
the policy of Rome and Great Brit
ain of protecting or avenging their
wanuenng citizens Dy lorce ot arms
and has set uo suite a different nnlirv
efU. " J
lilt new Wilson policy is sordtd
and base. He says he wishes ,for
friendly, political and trade relation's
with the world. He would have our
citizens go forth and trade for their
benefit and ours, but they must do
so at their own peril, while we sit
snugly at home, reaping the reward
of their labor and send notes when
they are murdered. . Such a policy
breeds the worst traits in men and
stamps a nation with, cowardic.
Opinions on the Border.
"I have iust come from the hnrrW
where I have talked with men and
women who have personally exper
ienced the results of this new policy.
The dreadful stories of Mexico and
American citizens in Mexico during
this administration prove the fnllv nf
the Wilson policy. When President
Wilson condemns Americans in
sweeping terms as adventurers who
are dishonestly exploiting Mexico,
his charge is not only unsupported by
facts, but is a' subterfuge to keep
men's minds away from the horrible
murders and outrages against Ameri
can men, women and children in
Mexico.
"The truth is that the Wilson pol
icy of refusal to protect American
citizens is itself primarily responsible
for these murders and outrages. Un
til the Wilson policy is abandoned
and we return to the straight path of
absolute protection of Americans and
their interests, we need not hope for
peace in or witn Mexico.
Effect of Underwood Law.
Discussing the "hard times" of 1914,
Colonel Roosevelt said;
"The democrats cameNnto power

German garrison prior to its caoture

army headquarters. Further French
attacks against Fort Douamont and
also Fort Vaux yesterday, were re

adds. ,
Paris, Oct 26. The French troops
at Verdun are following up as fast
as they can the advantage gained by
their sudden forward sweep on Tues
day and, according to the latest in
formation, have closed in to within
less than 5U0 yards of Vaux Fort.

The German forces at Verdun ar

opinion of French military men, they
no longer possess a general reserve,
but are obliged to withdraw men

now in hand, show the French losses
were very light indeed, considerably
less than the number of nrisnnera

Considerable material was captured.
The Germans had massed guns of

of which fell into the hands of the
French.
The three lieutenant-eenerals who.
