lican Candidate Tremend
ous Welcome.s
CHEERED FORTY MINUTES
(Continued from Fife One.)
Hughes, jr., and some friends, were
among the early arrivals. They occu-.
pied a box in the center of the garden.
The Columbus (O.) Republican Glee
club of 100 voices entertained the
crowd inside the garden with patriotic
songs prior to the arrival of the presi
dential candidate.
"My voice is worn but my heart is
. stout and my confidence is complete
that we are marching to a triumph
ant victory next Tuesday," began Mr.
Hughes. "When I first heard yfcur
greeting it seemed to sound like a
convention, but after a whiles I
thought it sounded like an election."
Mr. Hughestsaid he desired to ex
press appreciation of the endeavors
of those many agencies which have
co-operated to bring about the re
sult "to which we look forward so
confidently," mentioning some of the
agencies by name.
"How about Teddy?" shouted a man
in the audience. ' A general laugh
followed.
"And I include, of course," the nom
inee said, i moment later, "both of
our distinguished ex-presidents who
have in their earnest support aided
this cause by presenting once more
a -re-united republican party as the
agency of national service.
Shall Regain Prestige.
' "It has been quite apparent for
some time that the American people
were about to record a very decisive
conviction. I think I can forecast the
determination which is to be recorded
next! Tuesday. I believe that the
American people have determined
that this nation shall regain its inter
national prestige and the rights of
American citizens shall be protected
throughout the world.
"Every fdur vears we take, a count
and we do not propose that! the
policies which endanger the peace.

Madison Square Garden Crowd
Cheers Hughes Forty Minutes
New York. Nov. 5. William A. I'rendergast, comptroller of the
city of New York, formally opened the republican meeting at Madison
Square Garden at 7:30 o'clock. Speaking of a reunited republican party,
he referred to "that wonderful American" Theodore Roosevelt. In- '
slantly the crowd began to cheer and the demonstration lasted several
minutes. I - - -
Mr. Hughes entered the hall at 9:15, while Governor Whitman was
speaking. The governor' speech was abruptly ended by a prolonged
roar of the audience. - .
The crowd then began to shout "Hughes, Hughes, Hughes," "We
want Hughes." The nominee waved a small flag. The Crowd settled
down after fifteen minutes to a steady rhythm of "Hughes, Hughes,
Hughes." The cheering had been going on twenty-six minutes when
Mrs. Hughes was escorted to the balcony beside her husband. At this
the audience redoubled its noise. Charles E. Hughes, jr., and his wife
followed the nominee's daughters, so that the nominee's entire family
was grouped around him.
At the end of thirty minutes the crowd had settled, down to
steady stamping of feet in unison. A band played a verse of "Auld
Lang Syne" and when it stopped the 'cheering and stamping begin
again. r
A mammoth flag was unfurled from the ceiling, the band played
the "Stars Spangled Banner," and the audience ceased cheering to sing.
Mr. Hughes was introduced at 9:55 o'clock, after the demonstration had
lasted forty minutes.
the security and the prosperity of this
country shall be removed from the
just criticism and reprobation that
they deserve. While we are devoted
to the .-interests of peace, we under
stand very well what are the indis
pensable conditions of maintaining
a permanent peace. It does not aid
us in the safeguarding of our security
to have doubt thrown upon our cour
age and our indomitable spirit in
maintaining our nation's rights.
Way to Preserve Peace.
"The way to preserve peace is to
deserve respect. It is idle for anyone
to say that a criticism of the policies
of the present administration implies
either a desire for war or a tendency
to war. We propose that this .na
tion shall stand erect before the
wof Id with conscious self-respect, pre
pared for every emergency, devoted
to the ideals of justice, not truculent,
nor threatening, but exhibiting firm
ness and consistency and indomita
ble spirit, which will showxjhat we
mean what we say and that we say
what we mean.
"We cannot maintain our peace if
we let any nation be under any mis
apprehension as to the true sentiment

are about to record their dissatisfac

preparedness. I think that they are
alive to the very serious situation in
which we are placed at this time
It will not do to make light of it. It
will not escape attention by various
animadversions, and destructive crit
icisms with regard to American busi
ness men."
Mr. Hughes referred in detail to
the situation in Europe, reiterating
his conviction -that a protective tariff
would be necessary to aid American
industry in meeting commercial, com
petition with Europe after the. war.
"When we speak of these matters
and of the necessity of meeting these
economic problems which will en
gage the attention of this country
in the near future, with "what pro
posals are We met by our opponents?"
Mr. Hughes asked. "In the first
place, they believe that they have
provided in the revenue bill ail anti
dumping clause'. I make bold to say
that the clause is the high-water
mark of farcical legislation. '
Congress Passes Bills.
"It cannot accomplish the purpose
which apparently it was designed to
accomplish, because its provisions eat
the heart out of its prohibitions. You
cannot expect any protection from
the application or enforcement of
that clause. And then we are told
that a tariff commission has been
created. I believe in a tariff com
mission. But a tariff commission
does not pass bills. Congress passes
bills.
"We stand here desirous to give
opportunities for work, desirous- to
build up every agency for the Ameri
can working man. We are here as
the friends of labor, because we are
devoted to those policies through
which alone the ideals of labor can
be attained.
"We want in all our work consid
eration of the importance of a domi
nant sense of American unity. The
test of Americanism is not a testl of
race or blood or of ancestry. The
test is supreme devotion to our coun
try, supreme love of the United
States.
Expects to Be Elected.
"If I am elected president, and I(
expect to be elected, we shall have
an administration which has no inter
ests but the interests of the United
States; which .knows no policy but
the supreme welfare of the people of
the United States. It will not be

"We have a great opportunity of
service, but we cannot avail ourselves
of that opportunity if there is any
doubt of or misunderstanding of our
own rights. s
"We want men to feel, wherever
they are, that if they are prosecuting
their lawful business, if they are ad
hering to the principles which gov

concerned under international law,
that they have the full protection of
their country.
Reviews Part of Parade.
"There is no hope for America if
American citizen, anywhere in the
world, is not as proud a title as a
man can bear." '
On his way to the meeting Mr.
Hughes reviewed s: section of a
parade which was still passing, five
hours after it started.
"Our opponents talk as though by
creating an agency theyhed pro
vided a remedy. They created an
agency, which they can disregard as
they choose. And only today, in the
face of these economic facts which
should engage the thoughtful atten
tion of the administration, when
every nation in Europe is adopting
the protective i tariff, even Great
Britain preparing to adopt the pro
tective tariff, we have nothing but a
diatribe on the subject of protection,
without any serious thought with re
gard to the necessity of safeguarding
the interests of American labor and
American enterprise.
"I am not interested in a country
devoted to the special prosperity of
a few. That is not my conception of
the aim' of the administration of our
country, but when I hear any one
denounce class bitterness, class an
tagonism, and the lawful results of
arraying group against group, I want
him to take care that he does not
stimulate that very class bitterness
and class antagonism which is thus
justly denounced.

America in the foreground- of

"There has been much talk in these

want to say this: You cannot buy the
labor vote; you cannot coerce the la
bor vote; you cannot frighten the
labor vote; you cannot impose upon
the -labor vote by talking about in
