Hughes Warns He Won't Shrink From Enforcing Rights
In Tacoma Charles F Hughes told a stadium audience he would not shrink from war to enforce American rights abroad.

He cited Secretary McAdoo and a 1914 emergency currency plan amid war. The session also touched on cotton use and a Georgia Democrat's reply to Hughes on southern influence in Congress.
