Nashville Tennessean.
Hughes Criticized by Leading
r regressive raper
111 .It it
A Now York dispatch, dated Aug;
22, says: Both in its news columns
and editorially the Philadelphia
North American, the leading progres
sive newspaper in the east, a recog
nized Roosevelt organ and, up to the
present, a supporter of Mr. Hughes,
in yesterday's issues makes the un
qualified statement that the repub
lican candidate is lacing "a nation
wide progressive revolt." Its special
dispatch from San Francisco declares
that . Chester Rowell, progressive
leader and member of the republican
national campaign committee, has de
nounced the republican candidate for
"abandoning the progressives of Cal
ifornia to the old guard wolves."
The North American, commenting
upon Rowell's denunciation, says:
"It points to an impending progres
sive war on the candidate which may
easily react on the situation in every
state in the union, especially in the
doubtful states."
The article emphasizes the declar
ation of Hughes in his San Francisco
speech that he came to California as
"spokesman of the national repubr
Mean party."
Silence Wiser Course
"Mr Hughes might better have
said nothing at all," continues the
dispatch, "which would have been
the wiser course than thus to ignore
the plans of the progressives.
"Ho has spilled the beans."
The editorial in the North Amer
ican upon the progressive situation
is headed "The Votes That Will De
cide." It says in part:
"Mr. Hughes letter of acceptance
left much to be desired. h As to the
present speechmakiug campaign, not
even his most ardent admirers will
assert that up to this 'ffme he has
convinced the waiting public that he
possesses exceptional strength."
"After reviewing the outlook." the
editorial adds signiiWttfJyS' "One
condition, however, Is 'definite and
obvious
has not
-the progressive
swung entirely
strength
over to
Hughes, despite the' confident pre
dictions that' Col. RooflnvftH.'R whnlfv.
hearted indorsement would have that
result. Neither has the decision of
the progressives to abandon the par
ty organization for this year pro
duced that effect."
Continuing, the editorial says: "It
would be absurd to belittle the de
fection of such men as John M.
Parker of Louisiana, Judge Lindsey
of Colorado, Francis J. Heney of
California, Matthew Hale of Massa
chusetts, Edwin N. Lee of Indiana, J.
A. H. Hopkins of New Jersey, Judge
Nortoni of Missouri, Bainbridge Col
by of New York and Henry M. Wallace."
Wilson Holds Approval
The editorial points out that the
progressive vote which will go to
Wilson will not represent merely op.
position to Hughes.
"There are a large number of
progressives," it says, "who strongly
believo in President Wilson. We
know this by experience through the
protests which have reached us from
readers who are virtually always in
accord with us but who do not follow
us in condemning the record of the
Wilson administration."
Referring to President Wilson, the
editorial continues: "Wherever one
dips into the progressive vote a
strong Wilson sentiment is found.
Another ominous fact is that Mr.
Wilson fs able to do things, while
Mr. Hughes can only criticize and
promise."
AN IMPERTINENT MESSAGE
Col. George Pope of Hartford,
Conn, president of the National As
sociation of Manufacturers, has sent
a teldgram to President Wilson. It
is a typical Pope message. It begins
with, flattery and ends with an ap
peal for the President to stand by
the principle of arbitration. What
it really asks is that tho President
will withdraw his recommendation
to tho railroads to grant tho eight
hour day. It U a piece of impertin
ence. Colonel Popo belongs to tho old
order. Ho is a "let us alone" prop
agandist. Ho has recently advocated
a union of capital in self defense. Ho
inveighs againHt regulativo legisla
tion. Ho believes business should
bo permitted to do whatever it
pleases.
Ho ic tho head of an organization
with a record. A small part of that
record is known. Tho Dulhall dis
closures showed that tho National
Association of Manufacturers had an
interesting payroll on which were
found editorial writers, statesmen,
eminent attorneys. Ho believed pro
foundly in "dollar diplomacy," or
subsidy or bribery, whichever term
suits your fancy most. It bought
what it wanted. Its method of ar
bitration was tho slush fund.
Tho National Association of Man
ufacturers should keep its counsel
and its commendation for tho party
of its heart and tho candldato to
whom its votes will go. Oklahoma

THRIFT
There is a great deal of discussion
just now about thrift. A systematic
effort is being made to have people .
save more of their earnings. Many
methods are suggested, such as mak
ing regular deposits In savings
banks, taking stock in building and
loan associations, and the purchase
of real estate.
.There Is still another method,
which, until of late, has not been ,
given much prominence. Reference
is made to savings through life in
surance. It Is an absolutely safe way
to proyide for those dependent upon
the breadwinner. ' Tho amount paid
as premiums is small when compared
with tho amount received by the
beneficiary. Savings through life In-,
surance is a form of thrift and it la
now so regarded by most people.
