Mr, Hughes' speech of acceptance is the public confession of a candidate who is without an issue and without u policy. Half of it is devoted to an at lack upon the foreign policy of Presi dent Wilson, but Mr. Hughes does not say what he would "have done that Mr. Wilson left undone, or what he would left undone that .Mr. Wilson did. A fourth of it is devoted to pre paredness and to censuring the presi dent for calling out the National Ciiiard. But here, again, Mr. Hughes refrains from telling the Aiuericau people how he would have obtained a larger measure of preparedness than the president has wrung fi'om congress, or how lie would have dealt with conditions on the Mexican bor der without calling out the Nutional (iuurd. W.liHt Vnriu.K Would He Take? Mr. Hughes' .Mexican policy Is to he one of firmness and consistency, through which, alone, we can pro mote an enduring friendship, lint what form are the firmness and con sistency to take? War? Interven tion? Candidates can talk about firm ness and consistency in foreign af fairs, but presidents must deal in concrete matters. They must decide definitely to do this thing or Hint thing. There must not be any waver ing, even at the risk of making mis takes. In spite of Mr. Hughes' long and hitter indictment of the president's course in Mexico, he, himself, lias nothing affirmative to offer. The Republican candidate follows the same prosecuting attorney tactics in dealing with the president's Euro pean policy. Hughes Plan Vaitue. "A firm American policy" is the thing that was needed, but again, what does Mr. Hughes mean by a firm American policy? Mr. Wilson bus guided the countrv through a great crisis, through a period which .Mr. Hughes, himself, describes ns "perhaps more critical thnn any pe riod since the civil war." Without surrendering a Rlngle American right, he has kept the country out of war nnd compelled the most powerful military government known to his tory to conform its military policies to American demands. Now conies Mr. Hughes, as the arch critic of that president, to say that the presi dent was all wrong in the way he did it, whatever the results may be. Would He Have Gone to War? Would Mr. Hughes have gone to war over the Lusltania or would he have sought first to exhaust all the resources of diplomacy? If he would have gone to war, he does not say so. If he would have at first exhausted the resources of diplomacy In what respects would he have handled the case more visely and more patriotic ally than President Wilson handled It? Here, again, Mr. Hughes con fesses by his silence. Perhaps nothing more character istic of Mr. Hughes' speech than his treatment of American conspiracies. "Wie denounce all plots and con spiracies in the interest of another foreign nation" and then he .proceeds to bold the administration responsi ble) for them. Silent. Aliolit. One Plot. "It was its duty to stop them," as if the administration had not secured dozens of indictments and a score of convictions. Hut there is one plot and conspiracy about, which Mr. Hughes is discreetly silent. We re fer to the Herman plot to make him president of the United States be cause President Wilson refused to permit the German government to dictate the foreign policies of the United States. Mr. Hughes' speech will be searched in vain for a soli tary word, a solitary syllable, re pudiating this infamous attempt of a foreign monarchy to control the political affairs of the United States by punishing a president, who has of fended It, and rewarding a candi date who tacitly invites tho support of the hyphenated. Mr. Hughes' "dominant Americanism" halts when It contemplates the political possibili ties of the German vote. Xo Substance to Seecli. Mr. Hughes' speech is all sound and reverberation. There is no sub stance to it, and there is no sub stance to it, because Mr. Hughes, great lawyer that he is, could not present a case. As a party candi date, he can criticise the president and find fault with the administra tion, hut in spite of bis high ability he can frame no substitute policy of his own upon which jie would dare to go before the American people. All of his sieech is destructive, none of it Is constructive. The Progres- E , NEW YOKK, Aug. . Three mediators appointed by tile United States department of labor will con fer here today with manufacturers of women's garments nnd wlih leaders of the union of their employes in an attempt to end the strike of 45,000 makers of women's clof'es, which has been in progress for 14 weeks. It the mediators fall to bring about an agreement, it Is understood they will start an investigation of the women's garment industry. The strike was complicated today by the manufacturers of men's clothes, who locked out l.'i.tino workers and who planned to close more shops touuy, increasing the number of idle garment workers to .10,000.

LACK OF FUNDS TO END I. WJ. STRIKE DUI.UTH, Minn., Aug. 2.

When you buy Prince Albert you are buying quality! sive voter will read it in vain for a word of hope or encouragement. It is tho partisan utterance of a parti san vote, that can see nothing 'In government except physical posses sion of the federal patronage and the protection of property and privi lege. It might have been delivered by. William Harnes, or Holes Pen rose, or Joseph (1. Cannon, or any other stand-pat Republican. Tariff Ik His Only Conviction. It Is only when Mr. Hughes begins to argue in behalf of a Republican tariff that he becomes positive and vehement and appears to have con victions of his own. Mr. Hughes puts his denunciation of President Wilson into the scale against the record of President Wilson's record of splendid achievement and asks the American people to choose. There ought not to be the shade of a possibility of doubt as to their decision. The World recently expressed the opinion that no civilized country In the world would he insane enough at a iime like this to overturn such a government as President Wilson has given t5 the United States and em bark on a sea of experiment. That conviction Is strengthened ten-fold by Mr. Hughes' sieech. No Intelligent man could, by any process of the human mind, find In It one logical reason for putting Woodrow Wilson out of the presidency and putting Mr. Hughes In. Mr. Hughes has spoken nnd his speech is an unanswerable argument for the re-election of President Wilson. ASK FOR and GET HORLICK!S THE ORIGINAL MALTED MILK.
