Hughes told audiences in central New York today, the last day but one of his campaign tour, that he had no apologies to make for his attack on the administration with reference to the maintenance of American rights, and that he proposed, if elected, to make the American flag the symbol not only of courtesy and justice, but of firmness and consistency in maintaining main-taining "our known rights on land and sea." Tho nominee assailed the administration adminis-tration for its alleged failure to aid In the development of American trade abroad by upholding American rights; characterized as "very cruel and unwarrantable" un-warrantable" suggestions that a vote for him meant war, and declared that in American relations with foreign nations he was opposed to a ' muddle of meddle." At Bralavia, the first stop of the day, Mr. Hughes asserted that he had entire confidence in the result of the elections in Indiana and Ohio. In his speech here tonight the nominee defined de-fined political leadership. The meeting meet-ing here was presided over by AVill-ilam AVill-ilam Barnes, former Republican state chairman. Mr. Hughes spoke at Oneida, Amsterdam Ams-terdam were five-minute talks, In which the nominee reiterated briefly his attitude toward the chief issues of the day. Tho speech at Schenectady Schenec-tady was before an audience that had awaited his arrival for more than an hour.

"Our opponents do not seem to like the idea of criticism with respect to international policy," Mr. Hughes said in his Schenectady speech. "But I beg to remind them that an American i inrm nf fniir years and under our institutions, at the conclusion of that term, by the American people and press. "The matter is so important, tho maintenance of American rights, it is highly necessary that American opinion opin-ion should be expressed, and I have no apology to make in standing before you and saying that if I am elected president I propose that the American flag shall not only be a symbol pf. courtesy, a symbol of justice, but it shall be the symbol of firmness and consistency in mnintaing our known rights on land and on sea throughout the world. "That is not a policy that leads to war. Theer never has been a time perhaps in our history when it was easier to keep the ADfc&rtacs'lStlora JZst of wax ip-tt dusSSg the past few years 'Sssfc vory nation engaged in tho great strife abroad desired our friendship, friend-ship, and would not by reason of any assertion of our just rights, forfeit that friendship. Desires American Enterprise. "I desire to seo American enterprise enter-prise advanced throughout the world. I want to see in the coming days of keen commercial rivalry, representa tive of American industry carrying their talents to the service of the world in foreign lands. It is idle, however, to expect Buccess in that direction di-rection if we do not have full protection protec-tion of those who represent our interests inter-ests abroad. "I am amazed to have any one suppose sup-pose that we can prosper in the extension ex-tension of American trade throughout through-out the world If our flag is only an invitation to come home. Men who before election are described as having hav-ing the best genius In the world and as doing a duty to humanity, should not be in danger, after election, of being called servants of their own private Interests who take their lives in their own hands for their personal ends." |
