HART In "THE CAPTIVE GOD" I *• I THURSDAY EVENING, HUGHES PREACHES 'GOSPEL OF TRUTH' Declares All Traitors to Amer ica Must Be "Put Out of Business" i Portland, Ore., Aug. 17.—Styling himself the spokesman of the Repub lican "Ad" Club with the "Gospel of Truth" to preach, Charles E. Hughes yesterday promised the members of the Portland "Ad" Club, whose guest he was, that, if elected, he would "try to save the country every day," and not merely Indulge in good wishes about the table. He aroused the great est enthusiasm by urging that the ideals of conduct which this Nation should teach to keep its appointed place In the world are those which upbuild and not those which tear down. "Abuses must be throttled," he cried. "Let us say to the man who tries to fill his own pockets at the public expense that he is a traitor to this free country, and that we intend to put all traitors out of business." Mr. Hughes left here to-day for San Francisco. He is expected to make an occasional address along the way. Mr. Hughes expects to conrer with West ern leaders of the party in San Fran cisco, where he will speak to-morrow night. Put to Bed by Newspaper Men Later In the ctaj Mr. Hughes, de parting from politics, spoke to news paper men at tho Press Club and told them how it feels to be a public man with "newspaper men putting him to bed. I had a. few years' retirement," he said, in the only place on God's foot stool where a man's prominence In public life is free from the demands of the press. I was nominated on June 10, and the newspaper men put me to bed and got up with me the next morning, and have been with me ever since. I was organized for a life of quietude. but I suddenly found all of Washington at my door; so I told my wife I must be back to public life, and I took a midnight train for New York." "Maiulamused" by Oregon In his talk to the Portland "Ad" Club, which comprises the business element, of the city, the nominee con fined himself almost strictly to a pro nouncement of his views on the neces sity for governmental co-operation with business and for a protective tar iff. He commented amusingly on the fact that Oregon had "mandamused" him from his seat on the United States Supreme Court bench by voting on his name in the primarv, and said it was the first time that a State Court had taken precedence over a Federal Court. "I am the spokesman of the Re publican Ad Club now." he said. It was not ever thus. A short time ago I was long on silence and short on talk, but now I am long on talk and very, very short on silence." When the laughter which this aroused had sub sided, Mr. Hughes swung into a dis sertation on the necessity of construc tive measures by the government to protect this country. Last night the nominee spoke to 15,000 persons in the great Ice Hip podrome, leaving soon afterward for San Francisco.

Shortage of Coal Threatened A recent bulletin from the coal regions sounds this warning: Shorter hours; shortage of labor; shortage in produc tion ; these are the conditions now existing in the coal re gions. Those who say, "We will buy coal as and when we want it," will discover that the supply is not under pres sure like water at the kitchen sink, which can be drawn on at will and without limit. Existing conditions fore shadow the most serious shortage of coal this winter that we have known since the strike of 1902.
