HUGHES. .i (Continued from pese 1} hhn to give the country a sample of tbe sort of campaigning that made him famous in the gubernatorial race. Mr. Hughes assailed the administra tion for the course it has pursued with reference to Mexico, maintenance of American,rights during the European war, preparedness, and other great questions of the day. He deolared fov a new policy of "firmness and consistency" toward Mexico, "for the unflinching main tenance of all American rights on ldnd and sea," and for "adequate na tional defense adequate protection on both our western and eastern coasts." Must Suppress Plota. "We denounce all plots and conspir acies in the interest of ady foreign nation," Mr. Hughes said. "Utterly in tolerable is the use of our soil for alien intrigues. Every'American must unreservedly condemn them and sup port every effort fdr their suppres sion!" The nominee assailed the adminis tration for its "direction of diplo matic intercourse" from the begin ning, declaring that where there should have been conspicuous strength and expertness, there had been weak- lafoor," for conservation of national ness and Inexpertness. He cited San Domingo as an in stance where appointments had gone to "deserving democrats" and to the failure to continue Ambassador Her rick at his poet in Paris after thai war h?d started as "a lamentable sac-i riflce of international impute." "I endorse the declaration in the platform in favor of woman suffrage," Mr. Hugh** declared. And he added: "Opposition may delay, but in my judgment, cannot defeat this move ment. I favor the vote for women." Reviews Mexican Fiasco. One fourth of the speech was de voted to Mexico. Step after step tak en by the administration with refer ence to Mexico was assailed, from the days of Huerta to the note sent the de facto government by the state de partment June 20, last, part of which was quoted in the .speech. The seizure of Vera Cruz, the nomi nee said, "was war, of course." "Later we retired from Vera Cruz." he continued, "giving up this noble warfare. Recently the naked truth was admitted by a cabinet officer. We are now informed that we did not go to Vera Cruz to force Huerta to sa lute the flag. We are told that we went there to 'show Mexico that we were in earnest in our demand that Huerta must go.'" Wants Peace In Mexico. 1 America, Mr. Hughes continued. had no policy of aggression toward Mexico, no desire for any part of her territory, but wished her to have peace, stability and prosperity. "The conduct of the administration has defeated difficulties we shall have to surmount," he saifl- "We demand from Mexico the protection of the Itvos and property of our ciMzena and tJ-.p ppcurity of our border from depre dations." Safnsniardlng American rights abroad had not been accomplished, Mr. liut'hes said, by the administra tlon. Thf.r* had been "brave words in a series of notes." but "what does it avail to use some of the strongest known to diplomacy if ambassaJ' oners. da*s can receive the impression lhat The German the words are not to be taken seri wwlyr* /The nominee reiterates Ms de^lara y0*1 that 'had this government left no meant to hoM Germar.v •c-ountabillty."

Mr. Hughes said it was plain that we must have protective, upbuilding poli cies. Other measures, too, should be applied, he said, notably the upbuild ing of a merchant marine. Mr. Hughes also declared for tbe conservation of the just interests of resources, and for a national budget, Mr. Hughes closed with an endorse ment of the republican platform adopted by tbe national convention and a formal acceptance of the nomi nation. Editorial Corftntont. Following is a symposium of edi torial comment, on the acceptance speech of Judge Hughes in New York City last night: New "York Tribune: One clear note runs through the whole of Mr. Hughes' speech. It is a challenge of incapacity, an indictment of failure. It Is rightly an indictment of Mr. Wil son's scattered point of view. Bat it would be idle to pretend that portion of the address which deals with the Lusitania massacre, Is satisfactory to the Tribune. New York Times: Little that is new appears in the speech. It will be r» membered he wishes to make the Mexican question the burning issue so that citizens accused of hyphenlza tion may have an opportunity to show their patriotism. New York World: Mr.' Hughes' speech of acceptance is a public con fession of a candidate who is without an issue and without a policy. His policy is to be one of firmness. But what form is the firmness to take? War? Intervention? RETREATIG FROM THE RUSSIANS (Continued from page 1) where along the eastern front, have pressed the Germans an Austrlans hard, according to today's war office statement. Heavy counter attacks from Kovel and Luzk were repulsed after the Russians had attacked in the region of Tchekhuv and Duebenka.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.—Slow selling READY TO REPLY TO HUGHES' SPEECH President Wilson Anticipated What the Republican Candidate Would Say. WASHINGTON, August 1.—Presi dent Wilson had Charles Evans Hughes' speech of acceptance for breakfast this morning. He had plenty of time thoroughly to digest it —the speech—before the cabinet meeting. When that body convened, they all went to it The speech followed lines antici pated by the president and his advis ers. it was deolared. So certain Were administration leaders that Hughes would say what he did—so they said today—that the president has been preparing his own speech of acceptance for several weeks and it Is now parctlcally com pleted with only a few changes neces sary. It is understood his reply will be largely constructive, dividing itself In to two major parts: Development of a declaration that the republican party is a "reminis cence" with a platform of policies, some of which it failed to handle when In power and many of which the democrats have pht into laws dur ing recent months. Enunciation of a constructive busi ness policy for the future, shewing what has been done and what will be done through industrial preparedness to meet the economic upheavals after Che war. 1 The president's address will not be as long as that delivered by Hughes. It will Include a defense of the admin istration's diplomatic course in Mexi co and toward European nations. It will point at length to prosperity and peace. There is now no intention on the part of the president to reply to Hughes' address previous to his speech of acceptance at Long Branch.

Hughes today declared for a woman suffrage amendment to the constitu tion, In a telegram, sent. George Sutherland, of Utah. "My view is that the proposed amendment should be submitted and ratified," tbe republican candidate said in his telegram to the Utah sen ator.- The telegram which evoked Hughes' declaration for a federal amendment for equal suffrage was as follows: "You will no doubt recall our con versation a few days ago when I urged yoti to make public your views with regard to the equal suffrage federal amendment 2 feel quite sure there is nothing in the republican platform which in any manner would conflict with such a declaration. That platform commits, the party to the principle of woman's suffrage and recognizes the right of each state to determine the question for itself. It is silent upon the subject of the con stitutional amendment and therefore leaves everybody of the party free to determine for himself this question. The submission of the amendments is desired by many millions of voters and I think tbe day has come when congress -should recognize the wide spread desire by adopting the resolu tion of submission and thus en abling the states to pass upon the question which, without the prelim inary action of congress they would be prevented from doing. There is a feeling of intense Interest in all these suffrage states in respect to your at titude and 1 think it most important that you as soon as 'possible state publicly yo&r personal paid tlon in respect to the matter.
