NO REAL POLICY
NEW YORK, Aus. 2. The New
York World's editorial on Justice
Hughes' speech follows:
A candidate without a policy. 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.
There arc reports that the union
of workers on men's garments will
call a general strike of 10,0(10 men.
This action would bring the tolul
number of strikers on men anil
women's garments In this city to
100,000 persons.
Fully $100,000,000 In orders for
women's clothes are. waiting to he
filled when the shops reopen. Manu
facturers of men's clothing said that
orders for $150,000,000 worth of
men's clothing had been placed for
the fall season and that the orders
cannot be filled if the lockout leads
to a general strike.
LACK OF FUNDS TO

DUI.UTH, Minn., Aug. 2. Lack or

nesota Iron Range and defeat the
Industrial Workers of the World, ac
cording to Elizabeth Gurley Flynn.

miners are feeling the pinch of
penury, Miss Flynn frankly stated to
day that her chief purpose in remain

ing men here for funds and to so
licit aid from unions and labor
organizations in other cities by mall.
Miss Flynn stated that more than
S00 families on the range are de
pendent on others for support.

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.
