WHY SHOULD VOTE
' OF PROGRESSIVE BE
CAST FOR HUGHES?
Member of Orphaned Party
Finds No Constructive Ideas
in Statements of Candidate
WILSON'S ACHIEVEMENTS
Administration's Stand la Matters Do
mestic and Foreign Hakes ror
OaaeraJ Welfare of People.
Ia Grande, Or., Aus. 18 To
the editor of The Journal. When
the famous father of the Progressive
party abandoned his political offspring
ha pinned to the foundlings cradle a
farewell note. In which he expressed
tne hope that the child should be
adopted by Mr. HuRhes, "who is beyond
all comparison, fitter to be ltd fueler
father than Is Mr. Wilson."
As one of the orphaned pmty, I
have dutifully nurted the hope that
Sir. Hughes would qualify ad our
guardian and protector. I have read
his speeches with unbiased considera
tion and respect. I have read them
with a sincere desire to know his at
titude toward those policies of social
and Industrial jubilee which were the
dominant planks in the progressive
platform. I have Men open to con
viction that Mr. Hughes la worthier
than Mr. Wilson to be the sole cus
todian of the Proirrnsslve patrimony.
Mora Politician TBan Statesman.
Thus far, however, I have tal cd to
find In his speeches ttiat passion for
democracy In government that, dis
tinguished the Progressive movement.
Positive and aggressive only in ihelr
arraignment of the democratic auiiiin-
.nl.n K.i am pniillfiiic ..it.,
fcerved In their expression of construc
tive and affirmative Ideas. Suffused
with stump speech nlralagem arid par
tisan artifice, they fuguest Uio poli
tician rather than the statcsu;an.
There is little In his speecl.ss so
far to encourage the Independent voter
and less to rebuke the sordid stand
patter. The war horses of I i; old
Guard arch their necks nr. ; step
proudly to their music. And jne of
the capable, hief captains of the re
actionary clique might have npoken
them and still be true to conne.-v j tlve
caste.
Golden Opportunity for Old Guard.
In his discussion of the high protec
tive tariff we hear again the muffled
creaking of the Aldrlch party machine.
If Mr. Hughes Is elected, he will
doubtless be called upon during his
term to deal with the changed condi
tions arising from the restoration of
peace in Kurope. Already in Air.
Hughes' speeches we have a toreloding'
of a "ruinous foreign competition"
ursre. onee more, as mrtny a .line and
oft in the past, the "Infant Industries"
will need protection against the
"pauper labor of Europe." Encouraged
by Mr. Hughes' high tariff sympathies,
the old guard will have a golden op
portunity to restore to the special in
terests the princely patrimony of a
highwayman tariff.
Ills pronouncements on Americanism
lack the Kooxevelt ring end intensity
of conviction. They trnil off into wij-iie
generalities when he contemplates the
possibilities of the foreign vote. Not
a single sliarp syllable has Mr.
Hughes so far spoken to rebuke the
subterranean strategems of a foreign
power to control the political policy
of this country.
Mr. Hug-hes Strangely Silent.
On domestic and economic Issues,
side from the tariff, Mr. Hughes has
been an nebulous as star dust lost In
the haze of the milky way. As to
Mr. Wilson legislative record the
most constructive and i'rosres'-'ve pro
gram enacted since the Civil war Mr.
Hughes Is strangely silent. Hla guns
art all long range guns and near eel y
a single shell has fallen this side of
Kuropo or Mexico. In" Mexico, M'.
Hughes has found his Verdun.
These attacks on tho president's
diplomatic record are highly captious
and severe. They are characterized
by harshness of spirit and lack of
and or. They discredit Mr. Hughes
as a fair minded and Impartial Judge.
They throw no light on Mr. Hughes'
own capacity as a constructive
statesman.
Unlike Michael Angelo, Mr. Hughes
criticises, not by creati.cn, but by
finding fault. He is notably reticent
concerning the program ha himsalf
would follow. Thus far he has quali
fied mainly as the censorious scold of
the administration.
In his strictures on Mr. Wilson's
dealings with Germany and Mexico,
Mr. Hughes leaves us to infer that If
he had been president. Belgium would
not have been invaded, the Lusitania
would not have been sunk, and Mexi
co, summarily subdued, would now be
a model of domestic decorum. How
he would have accomplished all this,
and still have avoided the mistakes
he attributes to Wilson, he leaves uj
also to conjecture.
Would he repudiate the president's
policy of neutrality? Would he Join
the allies or the central powers?
Would he demand instant disavowal
of the Lusltanla sinking? Would he
threaten war on Kngland for Interfer
ence with American shipping? Would
he recognize an assassin as president
of Mexico?
Conviction Is Xackn'g.
Mr. Hughes hastens to assure us
that he Is not a Roosevelt flreater,
that there Is not a drop of militarism
in his political veins. Kut how he
could have brought Germany up
standing a nation that did not hesi
tate for a moment to defy the com
bined military power of Kngland,
France and Russia: how he could have
converted that nest of viper eggs In
Mexico into a perfectly palatable om
llte: how he could have accomplished
all this without resort to cannon and
corpses, would require the Inquisitor
ial services of the entire Pinkerton de
tective agency to determine. He i3
precise and affiirmatlve only as to
what we had a right to expect ot Mr
Wilson.
Under Mr. Wilson we have avoided
war with Germany and won an epoch
making diplomatic victory. Germany
has stopped her submarine warfare on
merchant-shipping solely on account
cf the president's insistence on inter
national law.
L'uder Mr. Wilson we have thus far
been able to successfully apply the
principles of justice and big brother
hood to our distracted sister republic
on the south. It haa been a difficult
and delicate task, and naturally has
not been accomplished without some
friction and bad feeling. But thanks
to Mr. Wilson's patience, we are now
in a lair way of assisting Mexico to
realize herself. No doubt Mr. Wilson
has made mistakes In his dealings
with Mexico. But even his mistakes
have leaned to virtue's side.
The Bale of Blood and Iron.
Nothing Is politically right which is
morally wrong. To have raped a
helpless sister republic; to have de
spoiled her under military constraint
might have he.-n good politics, but it
would have been a moral crime. If
Mr. Wilson had been a mere politi
cian, with his eye on the next elec
tion, he would have applied the rule
of "blood and iron'" to Mexico. But
Wilson, being a statesman, with his
eye on the next generation, dared to
pply the Golden Rule. And the next
generation will justify Wilson no less
surely than It will condemn Germany
for the invasion of Belgium.
Nowhere in Mr. Hughes' addresses
Is there a frank admission of the real
condition of Mexico. Not only for the
past three years, but for the past
three score years, her history has been
a succession of revolutions, struggles,
desolations, miseries one military tyr
anny after another. Mexico is a sub
ject for compassion rather than coer
cion a stricken sister republic, to be
dealt with in a sympathetic and long
suffering spirit of helpfulness, by a
powerful and magnanimous neighbor.
It Is an excellent thing to have 11
giant's strength, but It would be tyr
anny to use it like a giant on such
a helpless and unfortunate victim.
Encrta Is Exalted.
By assailing President Wilson for
his refusal to recognize Huerta, Mr.
Hughes leaves us to Infer that if he
had been president he would have used
the vast influence of the United Htates
to foist upon Mexico the man who be
trayed Madero and connived at his
cold-blooded murder. He would have
Indorsed this brutal and despotic ruf
fian as the instrument of free govern
ment In a helpless sister republic.
Huerta Is a martyr hero, the "strong
man" of Mexico, whoso name Mr.
Hughes would have us enscribe on
the calendar of Republican saints!
What a shock this must be to the
saintly shade of Abraham Lincoln.
The weight of Mr. Hughes' fame
rests upon his investigation of the
insurance scandals. lit fought for
honesty in the insurance business and
won a signal victory. As an American
citizen I am proud of the inspiring
spectacle of his unquestioned courage
and moral Integrity. But In his fight
against insurance graft he said noth
ing about the corrupt relations exist
ing between the great insurance re
serves and the money trust. He said
inothing about how these great re
serves might be made to better the
old age conditions of the poor. He
did nothing to destrov the underlying
system which mad these Insurance
evils possible.
President Wilson, on the other hand,
has fought the system wherever it has
shown its cobra head. He found the
system intrenched at Princeton and
gave it no Quarter. As governor of
Jersey he again found it. defied it,
and wrote its death warrant Into the
statutes of his state. With drawn
sword he followed its trial into the
legislative halls of the nation.
Through his legislative enactments,
he has curbed the predatory interest,
reformed the currency, taken the fi
nancial power out of the hands of the
Wall street oligarchy, and put it into
the hands of the peeople where It be
longs. Through the Clayton law. he
has made labor respected as Lincoln
said it should be; has raised it from
the status of a mere commodity and
given it human rights superior to the
pitiless law of supply and demand.
Through the Income tax law, the
"male'actors of great wealth" are
amenable to their just share of toe
burdens of taxation. Under him tho
robber baron tariff has passed from
the realm of special legislation into
a fair and impartial form of taxation
for the purpose of revenue only.
Foe to Special privilege.
I am not a Democrat. I did net
vote for Mr. Wilson. L am not pri
marily interested In the success of
the Democratic party. But I am pro
foundly interested in the consolidation
of all Independent voters, and the con
solidation of all conservative voters.
I humbly suggest the permanent re
tirement of .Special Privilege. 1 may
never have the pleasure of attending
its funeral, but 1 thoroughly approve
of it.
As a Progressive. I am profoundly
grateful for Woodrow Wilson. With
intelligence, sympathy, independence,
poise, patience, and the inflexible in
tegrity of a settled purpose, he has
wrought to exterminate special privi
lege and enhance the general welfare
of the whole people. And this, as Al
exander Hamilton remarks, "ought 'o
be the leading object of every party
and the aim of every individual accord
ing to the measure of his power." I
believe in tho human race, generally
speaking, and in the humanity of Abra
ham Lincoln and Woodrow Wilson in
particular. If Mr. Hughes is elected
president of the United States I shall
humbly advocate the election of Wood
row Wilson as President Emeritus of
Humanity.
For the foregoing'reasons I still pon
der the question: Why should a Pro
gressive vote for Hughes in preference
to Wilson. ANDRKW R. MARKKR

Indicates Hughes Will Come
In for Sharp Criticism,
Perhaps Ridicule.

where they will live after a wedding
trip to the Hawaiian islands.
Washington, Aug:. 21. Speaker
Champ Clark's opening gun for the
Democrats In Maine is Caustng much
comment by both Republicans and
Democrats in the national capital. It
is conceded that Mr. Clark's speech
was in the nature of a campaign "key
noter," indicating that Mr. Hughes
himself will come in for some sharp
criticism and perhaps ridicule before
the big political fight is over.
The portions of Mr. Clark's speech
that are causing most comment, follow:
"Judge Hughes has made enough
speeches in this campaign to enable in
telligent persons to form something
approximating a correct Judgment as
to his opinions on current issues. He
has shot his bolt, but has failed to hit
the bullseye.
Once a Great Campaigner.
"It was universally conceded by both
friend and foe that his speech at
Toungstown, C!o, in 190S, was far and
away the greatest Republican speech
made that year. Comparing his
speeches since he was nominated for
president with his strong Youngstown
speech, one is forced inevitably to one
of two conclusions:
"First, that his pen and tongue have
lost their cunning measurably; or sec
ond, that he has nothing worth while
to urge agaipst Democratic accomplish
ments or to propose as Republican pol
icies, should Republicans by some mir
acle win the house, the senate and the
presidency.
"His speeches may not be unfairly
summed up as 'querulous carpings' at
the splendid record of a Democratic
congress and a Democratic adminis
tration. Speaker Clark Becomes Sarcastlo.
"Here and there out of a vast mul
titude of things he finds a few of
minor character which he deems unsat
isfactory to him, which, even if
wrong, have no more to do with the
tremendous problems with which a
mighty people are wrestling than have
the potato vines of Aroostook county,
Maine, to do with the majestic flow of
the Mississippi river.
"He endeavors to make an issue of
the separation of E. Dana Durand from
the pay roll a3 director of the census.
I know Mr. Durand. He la an estima
ble gentleman, but he had no vested
right to the office which he held.
There are thousands of American cit
izens as capable, honest. Industrious
and patriotlo as Mr. Durand is, and
neither Judge Hughes nor anybody
else of veracity will deny these neces
sary qualifications to the splendi
American who was appointed to suc
ceed Mr. Durand.
SnruA STot National issue.
"It Is not within the power of Judge
Hughes, nor any other complaining or
ator, to make a national issue of Dur
and any more than he can make a na
tional Issue of who fired the Ephisian
Dome, or who struck Billy Patterson,
or who was the man in the iron mask.
"He says that he Is In favor of 'un
diluted Americanism.' So are we all.
God be praised! He Is not peculiar in
that respect. The vast mass of the
American people men and women
are too busy working at what the Ger
mans denominate 'the bread and but
ter sciences' to make elaborate
speeches vaunting their "undiluted
Americanism," but the average Ameri
can citizen and, aftefr all, the average
American citizen constitutes the
strength and glory of the republic is
as patriotic as Charles Evans Hughes,
Woodrow Wilson or any other big wig
in the land. There is not one American
citizen, native born or naturalized. In
100, who would fall the country should
the supreme test come.
Admits Wilson Wot Perfect
"Perhaps President Wilson has made
some mistakes. Per h ape the Demo
cratic! congress has made some. It Is
safe to say there never was a presi
dent or congress that did not make
mistakes and there never will be sim
ply becanse we are all human.
"Justice Hughes is hunting for spots
on the Democratic administration and
ths Democratic congress, but the peo
ple realize that we have the most un
bounded prosperity that has blessed
the land since Christopher Columbus
discovered America, and that notwith
standing the ancient and chronic sneer
of the Republicans that we possess no
power of constructive statesmanship,
we have in three and a half years
placed upon the statute books more
constructive remedial legislstion than
the Republicans did in 20 years laws
which should have been passed four
decades ago. They are likely to con
clude to 'let well enough alone' and to
continue the Democrats in power.
"The people seem to have absolute
confidence in the pilot of the ship of
state, Woodrow Wilson, and are not
likely to drop him overboard" in mid-
ocean while the storm whips the waters
into fury.
"He did his duty; the Democratic
house did its duty; the Democratic sen
ate did its duty, and the word 'duty' is
the sublimest word in our venacuiar.
We submit that we deserve well of the
republic all of us.
"It is written, 'by their works ye
shall know them.' Men are measured
more by what they do than by what
they say. We rest our case upon the
things we have accomplished as an
earnest of what we will accomplish if
continued in power.
"Ours'is a magnificent, a wonderful
record, which anybody save a stark
Idiot can easily and successfully de
fend. Upon that unequaled record we
confidently appeal to the grand inquest
of the nation in the impending cam
paign." COOS BAY READY FOR

A Journey of over Z000 miles in

plete service of an order issued by
the circuit court of appeals today. The
order directs the Alaska Paclfio
Fisheries to remove their nets 8000
feet from the shares of the Annette
islands, and owing to the fact that
the order must be cabled to Juneau,
and sent from there 1000 miles to the
fishermen near the islands, nine day3

The Annette Islands were set aside
as a reservation for the Metlakahtlan
Indians, who, after they had been
raised from cannibalism to civilization
by Father William Duncan, an Epis

In 1916, the United States Government
had a message to give to its people con
cerning "Safety-first" the modern para
phrasing of preparedness. . ,
The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, which
had spent more than $100,000,000 in a short
space of time for industrial preparedness in
equipment and roadbed, was selected by
the Government to assist it in the prepara
tion of this mammoth enterprise, furnish a
steel train for the purpose, and be the pion
eer in the great educational plan.
The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, whose
lines reach cities and towns covering more
than seventy-five million people, trans
ported the great train of twelve steel cars,
comprising the "Government Safety-First
Special", to as many of the cities and towns
on its lines as was possible; helping the
Government in every way to tell the people
what the Government means and what it
is doing for them.
o The train is now doing missionary work
on other lines.
If the Baltimore & Ohio can serve the Government in this important capac
ity it sorely can serve you. Investigate its modern train service for yourself.
