SAYS HUGHES

President, in Accepting Nomination of Democracy, Declares He Believes People Will Sustain Him. DEFENDS HIS POLICY IN FOREIGN RELATIONS Asserts United States Will Take a New Place Among Nations When the Readjustment Comes. intprnntietrd News Service: SHADOW LWVN, A S V. V It V PA I IK. N. .1., Sept. Prost Wilson this afternoon formally accepted the democratic nomination for the presidenov. and mad- his first attack on Charles K. Iliighe.s, chari"'-! that he was making "doubtful and conjoetural promises of service." Also he predicted a new place among world powers for the United States and declared this nation could never rvmain neutral in the next bis war. To prevent war, he advocated establishment of a league for enforcing peace. The pre.-itient, before the committee selected to notify him of his nomination and a large number of democratic leaders. leclarcl his helie? that the people of the United States wish the democratic party to remain in power because of tho party's accomplishments and because the republican party U "just the party that cannot meet the newconditions of a new age." Doubtful laTOinlsos. "I do not doubt that the people of th United States wish tho leniocratic party to remain in control of the povernment." he said. "They are not in the habit of renting those who have actually .served them for those who are making doubtful and conjectural promises of service. Least of all are they likely to substitute those who promised to render them particular services and proved false to that promise for those wh have actually rendere! fhse very services." The president said the democratic party not only fulfilled its own pledges, but has enacted legislation that th republicans had promised to enact but had neglected. He matlo a tail for support of the progressives by asserting1 that "we have in four years come very near to carrying out the platform of the progressivaparty as well as our own; for we also are progressives." Turning, to the position of th.e United States todiy anions the world powers and to the outlook for the future, he said that th United States could not r main neutral in the next big war. In doing so. he took the stand that "there must ho a just and settled peace." before there can be any real peace in Uurope. "We here in America must contribute the full force of our enthusiasm and of our authority as a. nation to the organization of that pe.ice upon world-wide foundations that can not easily be shaken." ho continued. Nation Unanacted. "No nation should be forced to take ...ides in any quarrel in which its own honor and integrity and the fortunes of its own people are not involved; but no ration can any longer remain neutral as against any wilful disturbance of the peace of the world. The effects of war can r.o longer be confined to the area of battle. No nation stands wholly apart in interest when the life and interests of all nations are thrown into confusion and peril. If hopeful and generous enterprise is to bp renewed, if the healing and helpful ; arts of life are indeed to be review ed when peace comes again, a new r. tmospp.-rv of justice and friendship must be generated by means th.e world has never tried before. Th nations of the world must unite in joint guarantees that whatever is done to disturb the whole world's life must first be tested in tlie court ot the whole world s opin.-.-" before it is attempted." The pr'idfrnt's speech of acceptance was made from the steps of the summer white hou.e here, with his audience on th.e lawn around him. It folowed the notification address
