THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN. PO ItTIi AND, NOVEMBER 5, 1916. MR. AVERAGE VOTER TELLS WHY HE IS SUPPORTING HUGHES Men and Women in Many Walks of Life Give Reasons Why T hey Will Cast Ballot for Republican Nominee. 16 w 'HT are you going to vote for Hughes for President?" A reporter going- here and there about town, dropping Into stores, of fices, shops and factories, asked this question several dozen times the past week. s Herewith are printed the answers re ceived, with the names of persons he Interviewed. There was no effort to select in advance a list of those to see; purpose was to talk with the average voter and find out the elements in Mr. Hughes' candidacy that appeal to him. Here are the interviews: A Itallroail Man. E. C. Robbins, passenger department. Northern Pacific I seem to findi many big- reasons why I am going to vote for Hughes for President. One of those reasons is that the Democrats have removed the tariff on shingles and other lumber materials. We cannot hope to compete on a free trade basis with other countries that hire cheap Tabor. The time has passed, when this nation must depend on other nations for its foodstuffs, etc. But we cannot protect our industries and become self supporting through free trade. An other reason for my support of Hughes is found in the fact I heartily dislike the foreign policy of the present ad ministration. A Street Car Conductor. J. M. Berry, 400 North Twenty-fifth street I am going to vote for Hughes because I think he will protect the lives and interests of American citi zens Ibetter than any other man I know of. Then I believe Republican prin ciples make for better business. A Clerk in a. Business House. Chester "V. Vosper, 1284 Rodney ave nue I believe this country will thrive better under the operation of Repub lican principles. That is one reason why I shall vote for Hughes. Then as a man I prefer Hughes to Wilson. A Business Woman. Miss Jessie C. Hines, Hotel Benson I shall support Mr. Hughesi because I think he is a statesman superior to Mr. Wilson. I also believe that the country would be better off under a Republican, administration. A Secretary. Harvey L. Moreland, 554 East Sal mon street I shall vote for Hughes because I believe in the principles of the Republican party. I believe in a protective tariff. Under the free trade programme the Democrats' have ruined temporarily the industries of the Northwest. A Public Official. F. M. Brown, May apartments I am going to support Hughes because the principles he has championed are the soundest for the American people. Also, I believe Hughes to be the highest type of statesman, whose executive ability is unquestioned!. I think a nation should protect Its citizens abroad as well as at home. During Wilson's ad ministration we have had little pro tection outside the United States. A Soldier. B. E. Lewis, the armory Why am- I going to vote for Hughes?- Because I believe he will- uphold the honor of the American flag, which the Demo cratic administration has not done. That should be reason enough for any man. Kx-Government Employe. J. C. iuckey, 560 Elm street We have had too much Wilson. Hughes is the better man. We have always hadt better business conditions under Republican administrations. Hughes is a man of courage. Social Worker. Miss Mae Norton, Court House Wil son has been dilatory in a. number of things. Procrastination and vacilla tion are two of his characteristics. There are many things in his adminis tration that merit Just criticism. I am a Republican, and) I believe the coun try always thrives better when Repub lican principles prevail. A Chimney Sweep. G. B. Monroe. 227 V? Washington street I don't like the so-called eight hour law. It is class legislation. It benefits but a. few. The Democrats never did a damn thing for the Amer ican people. Free trade is not what the American people want. They want and need protection. A Detective. Robert Craddock, Police Headquar ters I am going to vote for Hughes because he embodies all the principles of the Republican party. I am willing to see him elected because of his rec ord while governor of New York. The country has prospered under Repub lican policies, and what prosperity there is in the United States today is but temporary because of the immense amount of money invested! in the man ufacture of war munitions. Then I hate to see tho affairs of this country so mismanaged that the greatest amount of good will not come to the entire American people. A Salesman. A. MacKenzie. 72 North Third street I am going to vote for Hughes be cause I believe in putting the affairs of a big, honest nation in strong hands. I thoroughly believe in Hughes as a man and in his principles, and as thor oughly detest a bread line that Demo crats and Democrats only create. A Lumberman. Samuel Connell, Fifth and Flanders streets One cogent reason why I should vote for Hughes is because I honestly believe that the prosperity of Oregon depends upon the lumber in dustry, and that business cannot thrive under a Democratic policy of no tariff. I also regard Mr. Hughes as an able man with fixed' opinions, in striking contrast to the incumbent. A Police Iileutenant and Spanish War Veteran. Jj. A. Harms, 1545 "Vincent avenue I am going to vote for Hughes because he stands for real, red-blooded Ameri canism. He is a true American from head, to foot, and as such I think he is entitled to the support of all true Americans. Clerk of Municipal Court. Neal R. Crounse, 673 Johnson street T am supporting Hughes because I think his election will sound the knell f the trouble in Mexico. With Hughes in the President's chair and a strong llepubllcan policy put into effect I am of the opinion that the shipment of sirnrs into Mexico will bo no longer permitted, with the result that the fighting will end because of a lack of munitions with which to carry it on. An Attorney. James W. Crawford, Northwestern National Bank building I am support ing Hughes because I want to see gen eral prosperity restored, to this sec 'ion. If Wilson is elected I am con fident we will have four years mere of hard times. I am of the opinion that big business men are waiting for a change in Administration before they are willing to invest their money. Chairman of Public Safety Commiuhi, Harry P. Coffin, 4 63 East Broadway I intend to support Hughes at the polls Tuesday because he Is a safe man .and I am a firm believer in "safety 66 WOMAN LECTURER, AUTHOR AND DEMOCRAT, WHO CAMPAIGNED FOR WILSON IN 1912, TO DELIVER HUGHES ADDRESS IN PORTLAND MONDAY NIGHT. A ' r"-: x J- ' - " V ix I f I f ' : V Si ( - yXvt $ ill t ' i m i . :V ' "" V,- ' if icQs - v.a I , . r ' i - . . I mm Miss Hester E. Hosford, of Cleveland, O., who will make tho concluding; Hughes address of the campaign in Portland, Monday night. Is a lecturer, author and social worker of note. She is just completing a speaking cam paign tour through the Middle Western and Pacific Coast states, under the auspices of the Republican National Committee. Miss Hosford will speak at a Hughes rally Monday night in the Eliot School, Rodney avenue and Knott street. There will also be a musical pro gramme. I In 1912 Miss Hosford was an effective and enthusiastic campaigner for Wilson, but like many who were for Wilson in that year she is now an ardent Hughes supporter. She campaigned for Wilson in California under the aus pices of the Democratic State Central Committee. A speaker of brilliancy and much vigor. Miss Hosford is also an able cam paigner. She is author of "Woodrow Wilson, His Career, His Statesmanship and His Public Policies." published in 1912. In 1915 Miss Hosford was first assistant -organizer of the International Panama-Pacific Exposition Peace Conference. She is a Daughter of the American Revolution and a charter member of the Woman's National Demo cratic League. She is one of many Democrats In politics who are working actively for Charles Evans Hughes. first." Countless men and women are today praying for peace, quiet, order. But the realities of the modern world are ever before them. We are living in a maddened, sphere with the roar of cannon and tho clank of small arms all around us. New problems are to be faced-, new decisions are to be made. Justice Hughes has always met trying conditions unflinchingly, producing a record entitling him to rank as a thor ough statesman. A Detective. C. E. Baty.Captain of Detectives, Po lice Headquarters We have seen all the commodities rise almost beyond the reach of the laboring man and there has been no corresponding in crease in wages. In fact, in many in stances wages have decreased while foodstuffs were soaring. There must be something radically wrong to cause conditions of that sort and I shall vote for Hughes because I believe his ad ministration will remedy that existing evil. A Business Man and School Executive. O. M. Plummer, Portland Union Stockyards I am going to vote for Hughes because Theodore Roosevelt says to. Hughes represents all the ideals and progressive principles that were embodied in Roosevelt. A Skating Rink Proprietor. C. J. Lentz, Oregon City I believe in having good times. Good times do not come during Democratic adminis trations. The people have little con fidence in Democratic principles. A Lumberman. J. B. Laber, Broadway Building We want to go back to manufacturing lumber products. We want to open the mills again. We have had enough of Wilson and his policy of free trade. The removal of the tariff on lumber and the repeal -of the Panama Canal tolls bill have ruined Northwest in dustries. I am for Hughes. A Phyniclan and Surgeon. Dr. F. E. Smith, Stevens building I shall vote for Charles Evans Hughes because I believe him to be a man of unquestioned executive ability, fair and fearless in judgment, and an exponent '- .-.-I I ' -MSA M r Hanny In the St. Joseph News-Press. HEADED IX DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS AT ONCE. 25 of the highest American Ideals. I be lieve in the protection of the American workingman as well as the large inter ests, the same standard of sincerity and integrity in the administration of Na tional, as well as individual affairs, and a Government that will defend its citizens and its flag wherever they may be. A Timberman. C. Lv Byron. Imperial Hotel I al ways have lost money under Pemo cratic administrations, and always made money under Republican admin istrations. That Is enough of a reason why I should support Hughes for President. . A Banker. T. H. Johnson, B43 East Twenty thiri I always have voted the Repub lican ticket but there has never been a Presidential candidate who deserves the support of the people as does Hughes. His merit is tried. As a statesman I consider him the foremost of the Nation. A Sheepman. J. N. Burgess, Pendleton There are a thousand reasons why I should vote for Hughes. One of them is because he is a clean man- and a true American imbued with American principles. Then above everything else I believe that the Republican policies are the best for the American people. A Hotel Clerk. Harry Hamilton, Imperial Hotel I am going to vote for Hughes because I believe he will uphold the rights of American citizens firmly wherever they are found. Wilson's policy in this connection has been extremely weak. A Commercial Traveler. A. Xa. Fisher, Transient I believe In Hughes' tariff policy and the strong policy in dealing with international questions. Then the United States cannot thrive under Wilson's free-trade policies. A Commission Merchant. J. B. Burnett. 143 Front street I think a change of Administrations, and, therefore, policies, will change business conditions. There is too much uncertainty in business today. You War never can tell what to buy nor at what price, for the markets aro so unsteady. It seems to be an abnormal condition. I believe under a. Republican Adminis tration things would have more stability. A Telephone Operator. Ann Coleman. 202 West Park Street I am going to vote for Hughes be cause I am a Republican and I believe he represents the best Republican principles. I shall vote for him because I am a working woman, I wish to see wages increase instead of the cost of living. I desire continuous employment atigood wages. I love my country and my flag and I wish to see that flag the absolute guarantee of the freedom and protection of th lives and prop erty of American citizens in every country and on every sea. I am a woman who wishes to see women have an equal chance with men in the Gov ernment. A Manufacturer. Dennis C. Fillsbury. Secretary of the Columbia Engineering Works I shall vote for Hughes because I believe he will, if elected, rise above political ex pediency and select as his advisers capable men to whom he can trust ex ecutive responsibility; because I be lieve he will discard personal preju dices In shaping the Nation's policies and Insist upon full recognition of American rights at whatever cost; and lastly, because I believe his leadership will restore to the American people something of those sturdy ideals for which their fathers fought and bled and died, and thus regenerate the Na tional self-respect which the last four years have all but destroyed. Prominent Suffraa-lst and Clubwoman. Mrs. Alva Lee Stephens, 693 Wasco Street Among the reasons why I shall vote for Mr. Hughes are: I am strongly in favor of National woman suffrage, of a protective tariff that only the Re publican administration affords, and because Mr. Hughes can be depended on to carry out what promises he makes to the American people. He seems to be a man of strong moral courage, a quality much to be desired in a President. If elected I believe Mr. Hughes will restore public confidence. A Hotel Bellman. Billle Gibson, Head Bellman at the Imperial Hotel I believe that under the Republican form of government there are more factories in operation. More factories mean more wholesale houses. More wholesale houses mean more traveling men. More traveling men give better business to the hotel and to the public at large. That' Is why I favor Mr. Hughes. A Taxi Service Operator. R. C. Long. East 3249 There seems to be greater confidence in Republican principles and there results greater prosperity. Greater prosperity brings tourists. I shall vote for Hughes. An Insurance Man. H. E. James. 88 Tenth Street We have had enough of the Democratic party. We wish to have business con fidence restored in this country. If we are to have good times that arc permanent and not war Induced, we should give the Republican party the heartiest support. People have not the same confidence in Democratio prin ciples as they have in those of the Republican party, A Club Woman and Suffragist. Mrs. Lee Davenport, 88 East Nine teenth Street I have three good rea sons for supporting Mr. Hughes. First, I believe he Is big enough for the Job. I was a resident of New York when Mr. Hughes was Governor and I had an opportunity to go through with meas ures that he thought to be right in the face of the greatest opposition from all sides. Then I believe we will get Na tional woman suffrage quicker under a Republican administration. Then with National suffrage assured, we will be able to get National prohibition through the awakening of the Ameri can women. Insurance Commlsaloner. Harvey Wells. Salem I am going to vote for Hughes because he represents the progressive and constructive Ideals of the Republican party. Ho is a man who will stand- for the new American ism. A Law Student. John L. BiaUer, Hammersley Court I disapprove of Wilson's foreign policy. That is the main reason why I am going to vote for Hughes. Foreign countries should not be able to tell this Nation what course to pursue when she should be taking the lead of all na tions. An Advertising: Man. R. F. Tallmadge. 341 Montgomery I shall vote for Hughes because he stands for the best type of American- ism. He scorns vacillation and a pol icy of "watchful waiting." I also feel that business conditions, especially in the Northwest, will be benefited great ly by a Republican Administration. An Expressman. C. Fetters, 991 East Thirty-first street I am going to vote for Hughes because I am a Republican. The Demo crats never did anything for this coun try except to throw honest workingmen out of employment. Then, I don't be lieve in class legislation. That's what the Adamson bill appears to be. A Livestock Dealer. Ben F. Hunt, 70 Schofleld street I believe in the protection of American industries. That is one of the reasons why I shall vote for Charles Evans Hughes for President. A Retired Business Man. E. A. Fearing, 22 East Fifty-third street North It is rather difficult to tell in a few words why I shall vote for Hughes. There are so many rea sons they cannot be crowded into a small space. One big reason, however, is that there never was a time in the history of the United States when we needed a man at the head of this Gov ernment like we need Charles Evans Hughes. A Jeweler, J. P. Jaeger. 131 Sixth Street T shall vote for Hughes not only because of his own record, but also because of the record of the party which he repre sents. The Republican party has done the big things for this country. The Democratio party, on the other hand, has never been representative of the big men of tho United States. Attorney and Mnsiclan. R. Burns Powell. 1524 Yeon Building I feel that Wilson is imbued with the spirit of humanity and that be has the interests of the people at heart, but I am going to vote for Hughes because I must have more in my pockets than sentiment. You can't live on sentiment. A Cashier of a Movlng-I'lcture House. Misd Ava C. Lewis, 267 Morrison Street I shall vote for Hughes, first because he is a Republican and so am I. Then Hughes will Insure better times because he represents the policies under which tho American people are most prosperous. An Attorney. Robert V. Maguire. C20 Corbett Building As a Progressive .

KfJMP.TT or KU1TWOMAH COUNTY Voters do not cast their ballots directly for the candidates for President at a Presidential election. As provided by the Constitution of the United States, they vote for Presidential electors, who in turn cast the vote of the state for President. Each political party on the ballot has a ticket of Presidential elec tors. In Oregon, each political party has five candidates for Presiden tial elector as many as the state has Senators and Representatives in Congress. To vote for the candidate of his party, the voter should put the mark "X" opposite the names of each of the flvo electors of that party and candidate. For example, to vote for Charles Evans Hughes for President, the voter should vote for the five Republican Presidential electors. Opposite tho names of these five electors are the words on tho ballot: "For President, Charles Evans Huirhes. Kor Vice-President. Charles Warren Fairbanks," so that it is easy to find tho five electors for whom to vote. The five Republican electors are R. R. Butler, of Wasco County: Willis I. Cottel. of Multnomah County; W. P. Keady. of Multnomah County; W. C. North, of Multnomah County, and J. F. Wilson, ot Mult nomah County. The voter should put the mark "X" in indelible pencil opposite the names of not only one or two of these electors, but every ono of them, if ho is voting for Charles Evans Hughes. or endangered, and who cannot be co erced by any faction into a betrayal of his trust, I am for Charles Evans Hushes. A Candy Maker. J. Merrithew, Lents, Or. I am erolng to vote for Hughes because when he says he will do a thing- he does it. Ho doesn't "watch and wait." I think he would make a. very strong-minded and capable executive. A Woman Prominent In Women's Cluba and Chnrcta Circle. Mrs. K. Eggert, 263 Fourteenth Street Why am I going to vote for Hughes? I really cannot think of any reason why I should not vote for him. We want to return to the principles of the Republican party. Hughes stands for thoso things that will place this country in the foremost rank of the nations of the earth. We want an American for Americans and I am go ing to help restore a lost power by voting for Hughes. A Civil Engineer. C. E. Carter, F22 Spalding Building I shall voto for Hughes because I be lieve in the principles of the Republic an party and because I think we need firmness and sound business meth ods, and less theory and indecision at the head of our Government. A Hotel Proprietor. rhtl Metchan. Jr., Imperial Hotel Hughes stands for protection of Ameri can rights under any and all circum stances. Under tho Republican tariff policies the infant industries will pros per. Hughes la a man of decision and character and one in whose promises the people of this country can honestly rely. For that threefold reason and many others will I voto for Charles Evan Hughes for President of tho United States. A Confectioner. W. K. Rayl. 328 Washington Street I am going to cast my vote for Hughes beoause he represents the principles of the Republican party. And I consider those principles to be the proper ones for American people. An Insurance Ajcent. Miss Harriet U. Buford, 215 Broad way Wo need a different administra tion. This is not a question of the individual. It Is a question of policies. Tho policy of protection is the best for the American people. We need a man who embodies those principles and also will stand pat on what bo says he will do. A Naval Officer. George F. Blair. Oregon Kaval Mili tia I am going to support Hughes be cause h is outspoken In. his views for national defense and he believes in a FOR PRESIDENT. STATES Vice President of theUnited VOTE TOE FIVE Republican Pratocratfc Democratic Democratic Democratic Democratic lroMblllon Prohibition Probibitloc Prohibition Prohibition Socialist Socialist Progressive B- : 2 strong army and a strong navy. He also believes in leaving the Mexican situation without any half measures. His attitude on foreign relations I con Blder excellent. He believes in making a clear statement as to what the for eign policy of this country should be, and in upholding that policy with force If necessary. Under such a firm mili tary policy International complications would undoubtedly be eliminated. A Capitalist. J. S. Cooper, Independence. Or. I don't believe the people of tho United states wish any more retrogression. I believe that this nation should be highly repescted and should go for ward to place Itself at the very top of ail nations commercially. That Is one of the reasons why I am- going to vote for Mr. Hughes. A Hop Merchant. R. C Dorcas. 221 Pittock Block I am going to support Hughes because I believe we should have a protective tariff to hold up our protits and elim inate the "soup houses." We want a man who will not say he is going to d-o one thing and then do the oppo site. You also hear tho cry set up that "Wilson kept us out of war." There wouldn't be. in my mind. 1-alf the chance for the American nation going to war with Hughes as President as there wouldi be with Wilson. A Timberman. T. J. Seutert. S01 Title and Trust building' Tho foreign policy of the present administration has been en tirely too weak. The knocking off of the tariff on lumber has injured all the Industries of the Northwest. Wil son's Mexican policy is also very weak and vacillating. Those are but a few of the many reasons why I an going to vote for Hughes. A Carpenter. H. Wells, general delivery I am go ing to vote for Hughes because I think his election will be for the benefit of the country at large. We must stop this free trade movement. There would be much better wage conditions if the protective tariff would again become operative. It is to the best Interests of all working classes to support Hughes. The Mother of Two Boys. Mrs. J. II. Watson. 1045 East Twenty first street North Hughes is the man of the hour. We need a man as Presi dent who is wide-awake and who will inspire the American peoplo with new ideals. That roan is Hughes. A Real Kstate Mas. H. IX King, Bay ocean There aro so many reasons why I am going to vote for Hughes. prosperity, i oeiieve. would be assured with a Republican administration. Then a strong man in- to 8 3 f S. So o M-S si t Si 11 rt g to && at the head of the nation's affalra la absolutely necessary. Hughes Is that man. Oregonians particularly should give their support to Hughes. Parmer. A. R. Paue, Clackamas. Or. I am going to vote for Hughes because ha is. In my Judgment, the best man to put Into that office for the next f oar years. As soon as the war In Europe is over the American markets will bo crowded with European products tin less there is a decided change In tbo tariff policy, and tho American, manu facturer is given protection. A Timber Dealer. C S. Lowe, Imperial Hotel My strp port shall go to Hughes because I be lieve he will best serve the Interests of the entire United States, as well as my own. Fraternal Society Organiser. William 8, Mowry, Redman organiser. 8a7 Killlngswortb. avenue I am going to vote for Hughes beoause I think times will be better If we have a Re publican President. I don't believe, either, there la as great a possibility of our being drawn into war under Hughes as there la under Wilson. Also. Hughes understands. I believe, judicial procedure better than does Wilson, and would, therefore, bo better able to deal with, tho mass of legislation. A Barber. Will Iavis 1500 Martha street I do not like the weak foreign policy of the present administration. I believe that the American flag thould stand for ab solute protection of American rights and property in every land or on any sea. A Cattleman. R. P. McClelland. Philomath, Or. I am going to vote for Hughes because I think any man who has bis best In terests and thofe of his fellows at heart could not voto for anyone else. I have seen tho livestock business, under a Democratio administration, in ucu a condition that money could not be bor rowed on livestock, nor livestock be sold. Seldom have t encountered any such condition with a Republican at the helm of tho Nation's affairs. A Tailor. Henry Chambers, 171 West Park street I believe In protecting Amer ican lives and property in all parts of the world. I believe in never letting the American flag trail in the dust. The present Administration offers little protection to the American citizen out side of the United States and little pro tection to tho American manufacturer within tho United States. A TcJca-rnphcr. E. J. Carlson, Western Union op erator The election of Charles Evans Hughes will inspire business progress and give employment to our working men now being opposed by Oriental competition. CANADIAN LAUDS DRIVE COLrMBIl HIGHWAY IMPRESSES TOCRIST ASSOCIATION' MAX. If. C. Cnthbert, Acting Secretary, Tells of Coast Plans to Have East erners Ytalt Northwest. Herbert Cuthbert, acting secretary of tho North racific Coast Tourist As sociation, was in Portland yesterday, and. in company with C. C. Overroeyer. president of the Portland Automobile Club, made a trip over the Columbia River Highway. It would be unneces sary to say that he enjoyed it. Mr. Cuthbert lives at Victoria, 14. C. and declares that not even the famous Ma lahat drive out of that city can compare with the highway that is Portland's. "Wo propose." said Mr. Cuthbert in discussing tho plans of the tourist as sociation, "to put on an organized cam paign for selling tho cenery of the Northwest as one tour. It is nonsenical for each community to attempt a cam paign for selling its individual attrac tions. "We will send representatives to the East and shrill probably open headquar ters at Chicago as the most central point. From there our agents will ho sent out to interest all persons who travel in spending their vacation In the Northwest. "It will bring tourists by the thou sands, and they will stay at least a month, instead of one day or a part of a day. or part of a week. "It will bring millions of dollars of new money into the Northwest." Mr. Cuthbert will ask that all com mercial organizations and schools of the state get behind a move to observe November 23 as "Post Card Writing Day." He suggests that every resident of the Northwest send from one to 20 scenic post cards to Eastern men and women. BETTORS IGNORE MAINE Otitis 5liov Little Change Since Elec tion in Tine Tree State.
