AGAIN ON BOYHOOD GROUND
New York, Nov. 4. Charles E.
- Hughes wound up hit 28,000-mile
presidential campaign tour with six
teen strenuous hours of campaigning
yesterday down the Hudson river val
ley and in Brooklyn. The nominee de-
""-Oivered nine speeches starting at 8:45
o'clock in the morning, and did not
reach his hotel until after midnight
last night.
Tomorrow, the last day of his cam
paign, was to have been a day of rest
with a big rally at Madison Square
Garden at night. Instead it will be
a whirlwind day of more speaking
in New York City. When the nomi
nee arrived here tonight he found that
the national committee had speeded
up the campaign so that he will spend
yiriuany ine enure auernoon lour
ing the city. Five speeches are on
bis program.
Confident of Victory.
, In almost every speech today and
tonight the nominee told his audi
ences of victory next Tuesday. He
' told them there were little he could
say with regard to the issues of the
campaign. On his trip down the Hud
, son river valley he made the tariff
one of the chief themes of his
speeches; here tonight he spoke chief
ly of Americanism.
, "Let me say to you," he told the
audience in Brooklyn, the last he ad
dressed tonight, "that if I am elected
' president as I expect to be" he got
no further for the moment. A man

v America'! Interest Supreme.
' "If I am elected president," the
nominee continued, "we shall have
an American administration with ex
clusively American policies without
any deflection to serve any other
interests. Supreme must be America's
interests in the thoughts of the Amer
, ican people and supreme will be
America's interests in an administra
tion in my charge."
i In- his tour through Brooklyn to
night, Mr. Hughes campaigned over
ground familiar to him as a boy. The
first meeting he addressed in the
. Green Point section was within three
blocks of the Union Avenue Baptist
church where his father once was
pastor. The streets through which he
passed were those on which he had
played as a boy, he, told the audi-
' ence and familiar faces were amons
i nose wne neara nun.
Welcome Home Beat ol All.
I "I have had many a generous wel
come and many a manifestation of
enthusiasm on my long trip, he de
I clared, "but best of all is the welcome
home."
..The second meeting of (he evening
was in the Brownsville section, a
district which his advisers told him
. was strongly socialistic in its politics.
Here the streets were choked. Traffic
was blocked and the services of more
than fifty policemen were necessary
to get the nominee's car through the
crowds and to the entrance of the
hall.
At this meeting:. Mr. Huchru reirer.
ted his endorsement of the republi
can platform plank, declaring for a
treaty with Russia that will recognize
the right of expatriation. The audi
ence cheered this more than any
other utterance.
Pisses House Where Wedded.
' The third address of the evening
was at Kismet -hall. On his way
there the nominee passed the house
in which he was married. Here again
he found all space in the hall
crowded with an audience that had
waited two hours to hear him and
hundreds standing in the street. .
"It has been my good fortune dur
ing the last few weeks to speak in
many states," Mr. Hughes said, "and
everywhere there has been manifesta
tion of i deep patriotic feeling pf
intense interest of our vital concerns,
but there is something about the gen
erosity of this welcome in my native
atate, which I had the good fortune
to serve four years that makes it more
gratifying to me than any other wel
come could possibly be.
"I hope and expect that next Tues
day we shall have a triumphant vic
tory in both nation and state."

York fifteen minutes late and was
met at Grand Central station by a
delegation of hundreds of members
of the Hughes College Men s league,
-arbed for parade and equipped with
every noisemakirig device. They filed
through the runway leading to his
train, escorted him to his car and then
fell in behind, waving flags and toot
ing horns. -The big concourse of
the station was crowded and the
nominee was cheered as he made his
way to his car.
Mr. Hughes expects to remain in
the city till after election. He will
receive the returns at the hotel in
which he has made his headquarters
here since his nomination.
Makes Five Speeches.
Mr. Hughes ended his travels as a
presidential candidate here . tonieht
The nominee spent the day journey
ing aown me riuason river valley
from Albany. He delivered five
speeches on the way and after his ar
rival here addressed three meetings in
Brooklyn.
In his day speeches Mr. Hughes
poke chiefly on the tariff and the
maintenance of American rights
abroad. He also assailed the admini
atration for broken promises with re
spect to the reduction of the cost of
living, the observance of the merit
system in making appointments, the
maintenance of American rights
abroad and economy in Vie expenses
of the government.
Conditions which industry in the
United States will fjice at the close
of the war were characterized as
cause for "serious consideration by
every student of our affairs."
' ' Must Look Out for Headache.
'""We want to look out that we do
not have a headache coming to us in
the near future," the nominee told an
audience at Newburgh, "because there
are quite a number of things that we
must carefully consider."
Among the chief of these Mr.
Hughes ranked commercial competi
tion after the war with European na-
The High Cost oj Wilson
Washington, D. C, Nov. 2. To the Editor of The Bee:
The story of Wilson's promise to secure $100,000,000 ad
vance in freight rates was given to the newspaper men in the
city of Washington some time in the afternoon and at 6
o'clock it was on the wires for the morning papers through-v
out the land and by 9 o'clock the following morning 50,
000,000 people knew or believed freight rates would be ad
vanced and before the sun had gone down that day the deal
ers had commenced to mark up prices to provide for the an
ticipated advance in freight rates, to protect their business,
and the "consumers began to pay the freight" for the extra
cost of the transportation of their commodities, the necessi
ties of life. '
This was purely a business transaction that was bound to
follow. The consumers are now paying the freight, they al
ways have and always will.
Let the voter think of this: Should Wilson be elected,
with congress at his back that $100,000,000 will be given
the railroads to pay the 25-per
manded by-the men and givento the railroads by the presi
dent of the United States by the passage of the Adamson
bill and with four and one-half years more to serve the
helpless consumers will foot the enormous bill, of $450,
000,000, which will be added to the present "high cost of liv
ing" with prices for the necessities of life dangerously near
those prevailing in London and Berlin.
The higher the cost of food the less the American women
and children will have. Henry Watterson says "God hates a
coward," and the American people at the polls will prove
it. America is not yellow.
tion, "not at all wasted by war. but
disciplined, organized as they never
have been before." The Underwood
tariff Mr. Hughes said, would not
meet the situation as a measure of
protection to American industry".
Our opponents told us four years
ago, Mr. Hughes said at Kingston,
of the wonderful opportunities they
were going to give American buisness.
We know what actually followed. I do
not mean that they were insincere. I
simply mean that .what they think
fitted American life does not work
with it."
Tariff Body Not Legislative.
Mr. Hughes said he asked his op
ponents what they were going to do
about safeguarding American industry
and they replied that they had a tariff
commission. A tariff commission he
continued did not pass laws.
1 do not blame them, he said.
for their continued adherence to the
old policy which through the gen
erations they have maintained and the
doctrine which in platform after plat-
lorm tney have asserted. 1 really in a
sense admire their tenacity and the
way in which they ignore the facts of
life in their constancy of spirit."
Jt was no time Mr. Hushes declared
for his political opponents to be sensi
tive about criticism.
"We are takinir account of stock."
he said in his Newburgh speech. "Our
opponents seem to be a little sensi
tive about the stock taking. Thev
seem to have the idea that there ought
not to be any criticism of the admini
stration. Well, we would not do very

We want fair criticism. We want
candid criticism, but we must conserve
the honor of the American name.
Not Policy of Braggarts. 1
, The policy which i would .conserve
the honor of the American name and
result in upholding Americans rights
was not the policy of braggarts, he
said. ' ;' ' ' ' ;' 1 "
"We have not the slightest desire to
go through the world braggarts,
boasters," he said. "We have not any
desire to stimulate ill feeling by a
truculent attitude. What we want to
show is this: That in a world of keen
rivalry and excellent understand
ings, we constantly stand erect as a
nation having courage and the in
domnitable spirit which our ancesters
showed when they established their
government, our later fathers showed
when they preserved the integrity, of
the nation; that we are a land devoted
to justice, that we'are intent in a
courteous way upon maintaining our
national honor and that the rights of
American citizens on land and sea
throughout the world will in all events
be maintained.
No Prouder Title.
If young. Americans were to go
forth as the advance guard of Ameri
can enterprise Mr. Hughes said in his
Kingston speech, "it must be under
stood throughout the world that there
is no prouder title than that of Ameri
can citizen and that the American flag

New York, Nov, 4. The com
pletion of negotiations with the Rus
sian government for1 a ' $50,000,000
titty-year byi per cent loan by a
banking syndicate, headed by the
National City company, which is con
trolled, by the National City bank,
brings the totaf borrowings here of
toreign countries, with the exception
of South America, to snore than
$2,000,000,000. . ,
Negotiations for the present Rus
sian loan covered a period of more
than three months and at one time, it
is said, a loan of as high as $150,
000,000 was considered by American
bankers. The former Russian loan
established a credit in this country
for $50,000,000, which was to run
for three years. Simultaneously the
Russian government established in
I'etrograd a credit of $150,000,000
in tavor of the banking group, at
fixed ratio of 3 rubles to $1.
Fart of the present loan, it is un
derstood, will be used in paying for
a portion of $50,000,000 railroad equip
ment order placed with American
manufacturers about two months
ago.
Associated with the National City
company in the negotiations are J.
P. Morgan, the Guarantee Trust com
pany, Kidder, peabody & Co., and
Lee Higginson & Co. The loan will
be a direct obligation of the imperial
Russian government. Among the de
tails yet to be completed is the orice
at which the loan will be offered to
the public. The yield on the last loan
was a little more than b', per cent.

OVEE 300 ELECTORAL VOTES
Chicago, Nov. 4. Western repub
lican and democratic national head-,
quarters today closed the presidential
campaign in the territory between
Ohio and the Pacific coast and nearly
all the department heads left for their
homes to vote next Tuesday.
Alvin T. Hert, manager of the west
ern republican headquarters, issued
the following statement:
"It is my belief, and that of all the
other members of the western repub
lican campaign committee, that
Hughes and Fairbanks will have
many more than 300 votes in the elec
toral. college.
"It is with the utmost confidence
that the result on Tuesdav. Novem
ber 7, is awaited at the national head
quarters in Chicago."
Harold L. Ickes. who has been in
charge, of work among the progres
sives at western republican national
headquarters, made this statement:
How Vote Divides
"Such part of the progressive vote
of 1912 as will go to )Mr. Wilson
will be largely the vote of men who
were democrats before they became
progressives. Reports that come to
me from all through the west show
that from 85 to 95 er rent of the
progressive vote of 1912 will be cast
thte year for republican candidates.
This means success for Hughes and
Fairbanks." , -
Senator Thomas T. Walsh, manager
of western democratic headquarters,
issued the following statement:
Wilson will be re-elected bv a
greater popular vote than has ever
heretofore been given a oresidential
candidate.
"Two conditions imnres them
selves upon the mind of every one
wno nas followed the camoaicrn
namely, that an enormous number of
republicans will vote for Wilson and
only a negligible number of demo
crats will vote for Hughes.
Independent Vote.
"As to the independent vote, so far
as it has been vocal at all, it is for
Wilson. 1 he labor vote -is for Wilson.
Among voters of foreiitn birth a sur
prisingly large number are for Wil
son, as high as 90 Der cent in the case
of Bohemians, Poles and other citizens
of Slavic origin. The Scandinavians
are particularly friendly to the oresi-
dent. The German defections, or
wnicn so many nopes tor Huehes
were built, has practically faded away.
"From republican sources admis
sions are made that the renuh iran
majority will be cut 40.000 to 50.000 in
each of the states of Iowa, Minnesota
and Michigan. Peace and prosperity
are patent facts. Not a dent has been
made in the obvious argument these
offer for the re-election of the. presi
dent." Hot Springs Tikn the Game.

wherein, speaking of the close of the
Napoleonic wars, he says: 'Peace
changed the facfc of trade. English
merchants poured their goods once
again into the American ports, so long
shut against them by embargoes and
war. It was manifestly injurious to
every young industry that a flood of
English imports should continue to
pour into the country at the open
ports. The remedy was a protective
tariff such as Hamilton had wished
to see at first and the young repub
lican leaders of congress did not hesi
tate to advocate and establish it.''
"Absolutely the only difference be
tween that situation and the ope we
win nave at tne close ot the present
European war is that the democratic
tariff then was 22 per cent, while the
present Underwood tariff, with agri
cultural products free, is running at
this time at less than 9 per cent, the
lowest in our history. In other words,
the Wilson-Underwood tariff bill is
-wofold worse than the democratic
ict at the time of the Napoleonic
wars, and. therefore, if Mr. Wilson's
history is accurate the evil results at
the close of this war will be twice as
bad as they were at the close of the
Napoleonic wars.
