HORNELL, N. Y.—Charles Evans
Hughes made it plain, in his speeches
yesterday that he favored the eight
hour work day, but he denounced the
administration for “surrender to
force” in discussing the Adamson
eight-hour law.
“I am not opposed to the idea of the
eight-hour day,” Mr. Hughes said in
speeches at Binghampton, Elmira and
Corning. “I favor the general basis
of the eight-hour day, I should like to
see an eight-hour workday.”
The republican nominee repeated
his views on the protective tariff, the
Adamson law, the maintenance of
American rights and other issues of
the campaign. He again assailed the
administration for “surrender to
force,” for “broken pledges” and for
“extravagant claims.” Re reiterated
his declaration that he stood for pro
tection in its broadest sense covering
American industry, peace and honor.
“Continuously during my terms of
executive responsibility in this state,”
Mr. Hughes said, “I sought to pro
mote the just interests of labor, and
recommended every practicable meas
ure to that end. It is true I did not
always agree with the measures that
were proposed. I will admit that
cheerfully, and I may state further
that what I did in connection with my
duty as governor involved an idea
which I should continue to apply if I
were invested with executive respon
sibility. As governor I examined
the proposals that were made as
clearly as I knew how, and what I
thought was right I favored, and
when I believed a measure was wrong
I did not attempt to gain votes by
indorsing it.”
Advocacy of the rights and com
forts of the workingmen formed an
important part of all the speeches
made by Mr. Hughes. One statement,
which stood out almost as prominent
ly as the declaration for an eight-hour
day when desired by the workingmen,
was this:
“I stand for reasonable hours of
work, for the highest standard of
wages that industry can afford. I
stand for safe conditions of work,
wholesome opportunities for educa
tion and recreation and normal en
joyment. No one can look at the
future of this country with any sort
of satisfaction if he sees class array
ed. against class, and a bitterness of
antagonism between supposedly con
flicting interests. It takes all of us
to make the United States prosper,
and we will never succeed in commer
cial rivalry, of the future unless labor
and capital work together for a com
mqn purpose.”
“Let us call things by their right
names and see if we do not get along
better. This railway wage bill, (the
Adamson bill) is a bill which raises
wages by law. Now, I do not object
to a raise of wages if it is just. But
the burden is placed on the public and
rates will have to be charged to meet
the increased expenses; shippers will
have to pay the bills; and it does not
stop there, for it reaches the indus
tries to the extent that they are not
burdened and the workingmen in these
industries are burdened.
“You cannot raise transportation
rates in this country and put the bur
den on a selected few, workingmen
excluded. The workingmen are a
part of the public. Now if rates are
required to be raised under just con
ditions I do not object to it; but it is
a difficult and serious matter.”

He Had No Bank Account
He had some money—but he had no Bank Ac
count. He could not see the need of one. He
had a splendid chance to enlarge his business
and make big money. He had not enough cash
on hand. He was unable to borrow any from a
Bank, because as he kept no Bank Account the
Bank knew nothing about his financial respon
sibility.
