Mr. Hughes' Speech of Acceptance.
The speech of Mr. Hughes, formally accepting
the republican nomination for president, should
end all complaints about hit "silence" on vital
issues even by those who disagree with the stand
he takes. No one not blunted by prejudice can
deny that he possesses a masterly use of English
with which he expresses himself unmistakeably,
and that he has the courage of his convictions
and knows no straddling.
The acceptance speech naturally follows along
the lines laid down by the republican national
platform which the candidate construes and
adopts as his declaration of faith. There is noth
ing in the platform that he sidesteps or evades.
In some instances, notably his unqualified cham
pionship of votei for women and his advocacy
of peaceful adjustment of labor disputes, he takes
a step beyond the platform declaration, and with
reference to the coniervation of the just inter
ests of labor, hia watchword, "Co-operation, not
exploitation,," is particularly apt.
All the way through the speech the viewpoints
and policies outlined are inteniely national and
constructive. On the other hand, neither it in
ciiivenen wanting in the indictment of the in
competency and inefficiency of the democratic
administration. Mr. Hughes is not only declaring
what he will do as president, but he points out
the sins of omission and commission chargeable
to President Wilson with a forcefulneis that must
awaken the public to a sense of the need for a
change. The Wilson weakness for mere words in
its European diplomacy, Its disastrous fiascos in
Mexico, iti failurei to perform according to prom
ises at home, these, in his arraignment, are un
answerable reasons that call for restoration of
republican control in our national affairs.
To help accomplish this patriotic purpose Mr,
Hughes has responded to the call of his party.
Hia acceptance speech will prove one of the
strong appeals of the campaign.

England Trios to Run United States.
Council Bluffs. la.. July tl. To the Editor
of The Beet I see by the names of blacklisted
firms in this country, all Amoriaan concerns.
that England has showed her last hand. To be
the ruler of the world? This has all been
brought about for having a man at the head
of the country, who is pro-Engliih. This has
been shown from the beginning In his antag
onism to Germany and bis friendly attitude
to England. His warlike letter to Germany
on the U-boat and other affairs, and his
friendly letters to England.
Germany at a manly nation, met every
demand that Mr. Wilson asked, and then
beat out England. When Mr. Wilson sent de
mands to England, they were either ignored
or answered in her bulldog way. Aa a nation
England has always been a bully to smaller
nations. She states to the world, she entered
this world war to befriend Belgium when she
knows she was to attack Germany through
Belgium as has been proved by Germany
and -our American tourists. She knows she
can never liek Germany, and so has taken, as
she thinks, a starvation policy. But a country
that has everything fifty years in advance
cannot even be starved out.
Mr. Wilson states this is only a neutral
country and must be recognised as sueh, but
I wish It was neutral. Mr. Wilton's actions
have made friends our enemies now. There is
not a concern making supplies for the allies
that has not a representative watching every
thing. This may be neutral, but I cannot see
it. Some time ago agitation was strong
against sending ammunition to the alias. Mr.
Wilson told Germany they eould have all
they wanted of anything they wanted if she
would send her boats over. Now Mr. Wilson,
England never thought of merchant subma
rines and Zeppelins. When the submarine
came over, they tried to prove ehe was a
warship. Although Mr. Wilson allowed the
allies' ships to carry guns. And now we are
told he is not going to protect this merchant
submarine out of the three-mile limit.
I have traveled ever the continent and
know the difference between the English
and German people. England's defence ot
Russia in this war is, she wants Russia to
have an outlet in the Mediterranean. How
about the Crimean war? As I stated in the
beginning England has always declared her
self ruler of the seven seas, and the sun
never sets on her possessions, and now by
her blacklist of American firms she intends
to rule the United States, but not yet.
