MR. HUGHES PREDICAMENT
If Charles K. Hughes, the Republican candidate for President,
makes an issue of the Federal Reserve system, established by the
Democratic Administration, is he going to read out of his party the
33 Republicans who voted for the measure in the House!
Will lie repudiate the 16 Progressives, the one Independent, and
the Republicans who voted with the 248 Democrats in establishing
the sound banking and currency law which has been approved by the
public and the banking world?
Will he also repudiate the 7 Republicans who voted for the meas
ure in the Senate! -
ilr. Hughes will have a difficult time evolving any issue that will
not entail a repudiation of many of the Congressional leaders of his
own party.
If he thinks it expedient to adopt a strong attitude on the sub
marine controversy, which President Wilson settled by obtaining a
full recognition of American rights under international law and
bringing about the cessation of submarine warfare, he will have to
repudiate the 101 Republican representatives who voted against ta
iling the Mcljcmoro resolution and thus registered themselves in fa
vor of a surrender of American rights. Incidentally, he will have to
read out of the Republican party the twelve Republican United States
senators who voted against tabling the (J ore resolution, which involv
ed a similar surrender when President Wilson war forcing the recog
nition of American rights.
There were twelve Republicans in the Senate who voted for the
administration's trade commission bill, and while there was no record
vote in the House, several score Republicans voted for the trade com
mission bill there.
The Republican party in its platform has endorsed the tariff com
mission method of handling the tariff. Before that plank was adopt
ed by the Republican party, the Democratic administration had in
troduced the Rainey tariff commission bill in Cnogress and it will be
come a law in a few weeks. And the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States, representing the business men of the nation, Republic
an and Democratic and Progressive, has endorsed the Rainey bill.
One hundred and twelve Republicans ami four Progressives vot
ed with the Democratic majority for the good roads bill in the House.
One hundred and four Republicans and three Progressives voted for
the administration's rural credits bill.
Republican leaders of the House and Senate repeatedly have en
dorsed the president's action in keeping out of war with Mexico. If
a vote were taken in the House and Senate today on remaining at
peace with Mexico, the Republicans would vote for peace so long as
President Wilson is able, as he has been, to preserve the honor of the
nation.

Hughes as well as among the enemies of Mr. Wilson with the speech
of acceptance delivered by the former in New York City on the even-
nig oi uuiy oisi.
But what were the actual feelings of those gentlemen when, in
the quiet of their own solitude, with the newspaper reports of the
it! .i .
Kpeecn oeiore mem, no man save tiiemseivcs now Knows.
Certain it is, if the speech pleased Republicans, it carried no
alarm to Democrats.
The latter do not regard it as a forensic masterpiece or the effort
of a statesman. They consider it rather the plea'of an attorney for
the prosecution, who has a bad case but a promising fee.
In both parties there was much concern as to what the Republic
an candiadte, who when nominated was an enigma to them, would
advance as th- issues upon which to base his candidacy.
Through X,0(X) words he stormed his angry way and at the close
there was no enlightmcnt as to issues, beyond the one that a demo
cratic administration was in power, whereas he wanted a Republican
administration, with himself at the head of the government.
With many words he denounced the record of Mr. Wilson and
the Democratic party, yet made no statement a sto whether he would
have acted differently in the president's place.
He wanted peaee and he wanted war.
In one hysterical epigram he called for "America first and Amer
ica efficient."
A distinct reiteration of the Democratic pronouncement on the
subject by one who in the light of existing conditions cannot mean it.
With the disloyal leash, the self-confessed perpetrators of his
nomination, with a candidacy on which "Made Abroad" is irrevoca
bly stamped, his cry for efficiency is not dangerous enough for a slo
gan and is too pitiful even for a successful plea.
'Ml t u . . .... .
i ne euicieney ne ailecls to Mesn e will he completely realized be
fore the Republican candidate much further advances in his cam
paign. There was absolutely no enlightenment furnished as to his course
with reference to unfortunate Mexico. A kindly word for Huerta,
though admitting the possibility that he was a criminal and a menace
to his country, a threat at the miserable bandit, Villa, whom by im
plication he dignified into a cause of war between this great country
and impoverished Mexico, a sneer at the course pursued at Tampico
and at Vera Cruz, and all that he had in his locker was exhausted.
Of course, he would have made Belgium a pretext for sending
our soldiers into Flanders to add their life's blood and bleached bones
to the future fertility of European soil; or, barring that, would have
let loose the dogs of desolation at the destruction of the Lusitania
or he would have done something else, certainly in a different way or
mood or what not from the course pursued by President Wilson.
The country needs preparedness, he declared.
Certainly so, and right there in his presence, in the corporeal
flesh, sat a former president of the United States, his partisan and his
supporter, who in near eight years had done by comparison with the
Wilson record practically nothing the direction of preparation
Not far away, not, however, on the scene, was another former
president, who deploring his inability to be present, but looking for
ward to the Hughes speech as a happy and sure "augury" of Repub
lican success, who had served several years as secretary of w ar prior
to a four-years incumbency of the White House, who had left a state
of national unpreparedness as an unfortunate heritage to Mr Wilson
And that was pretty much the speech.
Destructiveness was its keynote and the absence of constructive
new its burden.
Not one word as to the Democratic record in domestic affairs No
endorsement of the long strides taken to progressive ends
lated 'ie eVen f Democratic rled?e having been vio-
..?Ir' "u1,e" had n om word t0 sav of the Democratic party's
enactment to prevent frenzied finance from terrorizing the nation"
that thrift anil wealth to panic makers might follow the desolation of
the many.
Not one word an to the law to tax wealth that poverty's burden
might be lightened.
Not one word about Rural Credits, which put the producers at
iminoy ease when financial stringency hovers.
Nothing as to appropriations and legislation in the interests of
labor; in the humanizing cause of the children of the land; nothing
of the extension of post routes; of the building ot good roads and the
opening up on navigation.
Not a word as to the establishment of a trade or tariff commis
sion or the researches that have been instituted in every department
of the government looking to better conditions for all mn.
Only as a last thought, as a desperate effort to play sharp poli
ties, did Woman Suffrage occur to him ; and the day after the speech,
with something to tie his candidacy to, he rushed forward, where his
party in convention had refused to go and declared himself as favor
ing the submission of a Woman Suffrage amendment to the Constitu
tion, i
He saw that his tiradagainst the president's handling of inter
national questions had fallen into ground that was fallow; he had
come, after a night's sleep, to realize the weakness of "America first
and America efficient" as a slogan; he saw the danger to himself of
attacking any of democracy's legislation of a constructive character;
he dared not comment adversely upon any of the lofty governmental
ideals of the president, so, over-night, he took woman suffrage to his
bosom and there it now temporarily rests until some of his advisers
shall come along and separate him and it.
Temporary sop to the woman voters of a number of states which
he hopes thus to carry 1
What chance would he have if elected, with a Republican con
gress, to enforce the submission of an amendment that his party in
national convention assembled had overwhelmingly determined
against!
Can he by such tactics con the intelligent womanhood of the
country! r
Does the man or candidate who goes to' an issue, facing both
ways, ever land anywhere!

WHAT CATARRH IS
It has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates a general weakness
of the body; and local treatments in
the form of snuffs and vapors do little,
if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat Iti
cause by enriching your blood with the
oil-food in Scott's Emulsion which is a
medicinal food and a building-tonic, free
from alcohol or any harmfuldrugs. Try it.
