HUGHES BACK HOME.
Welcomed By Soldiers. TALKS ARDENT NONSENSE. [By Electric Cable —Copyright.] [Aust. and N.Z, Cable Association.] (Received Sunday, 5.5 p.m.) FREMANTLE, Last Night. Mr Win, Hughes and Sir Wm. Cook have arrived. They had an enthusiastic welcome. Returned soldiers and sailors dragged their motor-car to the Town Hall, Mr Hughes wearing a soldier’s hat, his own having been removed. Mr Hughes addressed a great gathering at the Town Hall. He sternly warned the. public against any attempts in the way of Bolshevism. . If any party attempted to usurp power by unconstitutional means, then by horse, foot and military he would oppose them. Short of murder or marrying more than one wife at a time, every returned soldier could, count on him for looking after his rights.
