PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.
REPUBLICAN POLICY.
NEW YORK, Oct. 25. The Republican candidate for the Presidency, Mr. C. E. Hughes, in one of the most outspoken statements of the campaign, ; d: "I will not tolerate the use of America for foreign intrigues, nor any division in the allegiance of Americans*. Ido not want the support of-any to whom the interests of this nation are not supreme."
Mr. Roosevelt is not sparing hie attacks, and it is thought that he is trying to swing the pro-allies' vote towards Mr. Hughes. He incessantly criticises Dr. Wilson, and especially his foreign policy. Pro-allies' sentiment inclines towards Dr. Wilson, not because of German-Ameri-can attacks, or because Berlin hopes for Mr. Hughes's return, but because Dr. Wilson's foreign policy is known, and that of Mr. Hughes is not known. Wall Street supports Mr. Hughes, -ho promises a higher tariff. Dr. Wilson's decision in favour of an eight hours' day has brought him strong labour support.
