ABOUT MR. nominated Hughes The republican national convention, under the control of the "old guard" of republican bosses, captained Dy J-rnroBc, liarnes, hinoot. dogs of privilege, repudiated velt and the iJrogressives tour years agg. Who managed Hughes' campaign in the convention? Tnft'a former campaign eral Hitchcock, whose tunction in previous conventions has been the delivery of the rrom southern states. Who is supporting nughes' candidacy? Wall street, the predatory ies, the seekers and holders ot ers of -Mexico, the munition the bankers, united plutocracy, even its women folks, all enemies ot tundaniental democracy, who hope to prostitute government ior seinsii gain. What prominent statesmen are supporting Hughes? William Howard Taft, llieoilore Koosevelt, disciple of war for war's sake; Elihu tors of great wealth, and all lege. Why are the "interests" supporting Hughes? Because, as in other campaigns, they expect to receive in return for financial aid. special legislation that not only will reimburse them, but add enormously to wealth of the few at the expense of the many. Because they see in Woodrow Wilson the greatest exponent of democracy since Jeffei-son and Jackson, and seek to destroy him lest this nation become a real democracy. What will Hughes do, if elected? The nearest he has come to saying what he would do, if elected, was at Milwaukee, when he declared that La Toi lette's seaman's bill must be repealed, the; Underwood tariff must be replaced by a higher tariff, and that the "whole administrative legislative accomplishments must be wiped off the books for the good of the country." What is included in these legislative accomplishments? The income tax, the inheritance tax, the child labor law, the federal reserve banking system, the farm loan system, the good roads program, the federal development of Alaska, the tariff commission, the federal trade commis sion, the shipping bill, autonomy for the Philippines, the Clayton act curbing government by injunction, the pres ervation of neutrality, the niaintainance of peace, and the enlarged army and navy. Is Senator La Follette, the foremost, progressive of the republican party, supporting Mr. Hughes? Senator La. Follette is "regular" that is, he, like Hiram Johnson and Senator of the republican party in against him by Hughes supporters, but he cannot be quoted in support of Mr. Hughes. He has loyally supported the administrative program denounced by Hughes, and praises Wilson highly. Are the former members of the Progressive party sup porting Hughes? Many of those who followed Roosevelt into the party have followed him out, including the Perkins, Flynns and others to whom Progressivism was a cloak for political preferment, hut most of the sincere progressives, advocat ing the reforms tending toward social justice, are not sup porting Hughes. What will Hughes' election signify? The triumph of reaction and all tliat it signifies in thwarting human progress. TWELVE THOUSAND LUSITANIAS A MERIOAXS have ceased to discuss the horrors of the i- war, not only because our vocabularies fail us, but also because we can no longer grasp the extent of the hu man sacrifice in Europe. We read, almost without comment, that 14,000,000 Poles have perished since the war began. The assertion comes on authority of the honorary executive secretary of Polish war victims. Three armies have swept back and forth over the coun try of the Poles; over l,r00,()00 civilians have starved to death between the contending Hues; 20,000 towns have been destroyed; and all of the little children under seven years of age have died of hunger and disease. We cannot comprehend such wholesale annihilation of uuinan lite. Our minds are finite. We can measure distance by the inch or the mile, or the circumference of the earth. But we cannot think on and on, beyond the sun, beyond the stars, and say that somewhere space has a limit." For space is infinite. The finite mind cannot comprehend the infinite. We can think of an hour or a day, but we cannot imag ine that time had a beginning or that it will ever have an end. For time is infinite. We can estimate the horrors of the war by the sacrifice of the Lusitani.i and her 1100 dead, but that 14.000.000 human beings should have perished in Poland as the result of the war means such infinite suffering of broken and starved bodies, such infinite agony of torn affections, that the event passes the compass of the human brain. Europe took up arms in 1014 with less than a babe's comprehension of the magnitude of the evils war would set in motion. After all. man is as a little child who throws a pebble into the sea and starts a tiny wave, but the motion of the wave extends to the distant shore of a land unseen below the horizon.

SEPTEMBER The Wandering Boy To the Editor: Why be too severe on the wnnderine boy, the one who ban ugain found ref uge in the fold after vuinly chasms the chimeric mume for four weary years f When he raises his voice in the wilderness in behalf of Hui'hes until his blood begins to boil to the pimple stue, reflect that he is so clud to be utrain within the shelter of the trold utter his lonp, lone; roving on the sea so wild und roiiuh. Koosevelt and Clifford Pinchot feel the same ex ultant satisfaction and i;ive them selves the same sapient approval at their restoration 60 ood standing in the party of Penrose, Cannon and Gallinger. Just think! After nil their political naughtiness they are rehabilitated, re stored to the leudiug seats in the councils of the (. O. P. it is a sweet privilege to be allowed to even enter the portals of the rejected fold after such a wild plunge, and when the re jected party opens wide its arms and takes them again to its bosom along with the hyphenates and kills the fat ted calf ill their behalf, why under take to put a, stop to their blood boil ing? They are just as appreciative of their present bliss us Doc Keene is appreciative of the fact that "Wilson kept us out of war." They put one over on the demo cratic party when, us progressives, they showed the way to popular leg islation and after that party gave the people what they wanted in the line of popular legislation, good hanking laws, good shipping laws, good pre paredness laws, good child labor laws, good farm land loan laws, now that they have been defrauded out of the glory of their enactment because of the shortage of progressive votes, from their entrenchments "back in the fold," they uniiiulifiedlv approve Hughes' determination to "wipe out the entire legislation of the present democratic administration." Ye sods I Isn't that a sermon on the The Real (From the New York World) The Woodrow Independent League has offered a prize for the best answer to the question, "Why Have Hughes' speeches been so Disappoint ing?" The World has no desire to enter the contest, but it can answer the question. lr. Hughes' speeches are disappointing because there is no honesty and sincerity back of them. They take their color from the re publican campaign, and the republi can campaign is organized false pre tenses. When a candidate for presi dent has no principles, which he dare advocate, no policies that he dare avow, his speeches are bound to be disappointing. The republican plan of campaign is to consolidate the opponents and critics of President Wilson.. This makes it necessary to conciliate the German vote and the anti-German vote, the Wall street republicans and the' granger republicans, the reac tionary republicans and the Roosevelt progressives, the monopoly protec Sold through grocers only InitMndrJ SfZ. ni Tiii consistency of human nature? Hughes' statement as outlined above, somewhere back in Indiana a few days ago makes one wonder if he has been reading the daily papers while retired from life on the supreme bench. The renunciation by the gal lery gods of the progressive purty of the very measures for which their party was ostensibly organized four years iieo would he ciiuse for genuine solicitude on the nart of the American people, were it not for the fact that I the great masses are calmly aware that it is only the self-seeking gallery gods of the defunct party who are doing the shouting for the party of privilege, and that the thinking fie- j ment of the progressive party are not following the shouters back into the! fold. Bear with the wandering boy. The fatted eulf tastes awful good to him j even in prospective, it is akin to the feeling of fulfillment of desire which will pervade a certain type of women who will be allowed to kiss the toe . of the Morgan-Harrimuii et al. crowd who are touring the western wilds to show good real American women how to vote for home and posterity. If. instead of bowing in adulation at the feet of these fancy exionents of wealth and privilege, the good women of Medford would bestow upon the private car of privilege a few bouquets of decuyed cabbages and baskets of ancient eggs delivered in installments, they would show more true Americanism. Now, Mr. Editor, be patient with weak and fragile human nature. Don't muke these people's blood boil any more. Even with the assurance that but few weeks remuiu of the campaign in which to coagulate gore, and boiling tends to coagulate blood, the fact re mains that the general public is get ting its money's worth out of this campaign in amusement without curd ling blood or the milk of human kind ness. PRO BONO. Reason tionists in the east and the "Iowa Idea" protectionists in the west, the war-at-any-price republicans and the peace-at-any-price republicans, the interests that .want intervention in Mexico and the Interests that are against intervention. Consequently, there is no issue of the campaign concerning which Mr. Hughes dares to take a definite, un equivocal stand. Even when he rails against the president for ai'erting a general railroad strike and for com- Ipelling legislation to prevent it, Mr. j Hughes is afraid to say that he would urge the repeal of this eight-hour i legislation or that he would oppose t the enactment of the remainder of ithe president's program. I Having no principles that he Is j willing to defend and no policies that J he is brave enough to advocate, Mr. I Hughes is forced to make his appeal ito the prejudices and passions and Ignorance of the voters. Such a cam paign Is essentially a fake and a fraud. Every time that Mr. Hughes makes a speech, he deliberately in The PFoman IV ho the one perfume which suits her the exaEi style of dress which becomes her the particular type of person she'en joys as a friend: Such a woman,we are sure,-wif appre ciate the assistance of the Taste Packet" in decidin g just which tea-favor precisely suits her taste. ttuirf an fin fiur tdrchmntnviUft .f mughftrjirt tr six tups tih ifthtfiur trut fitvri; Jipt, CtyUm, Otltni, Ergluh Brtiifdtt.

IQIfi sults his own intelligence and the in telligence of the country. The World has known Mr. Hughes more than a dozen years. It knows how his mind functions, and It knows that he does not believe what he says In this campaign. He is not speaking the thoughts of Charles E. Hughes about the great issues that confront the American people. He is speaking as an attorney for a bankrupt politi cal party and is trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the court. That is why his speeches ring false That is why his arguments are the arguments of a pettl-fogger. That Is why his addresses are a dictionary of partisan bigotry. He is In the same position as any other honest lawyer with a crooked client, only In his case he cannot shelter himself wholly behind the professional excuse, for he is the direct political beneficiary of his client's crookedness, and if he wins he is to get theliiggest fee that can be paid. When Mr. Hugnes, after cold blooded deliberation, decided to sub ordinate his convictions and princi ples to partisan expediency, he put himself in a class with all the small fry politicians, who are merely 100 per cent candidates and nothing more. Without courage, conscience and conviction no man can successfully appeal to the American people and win their confidence. That Is why Mr. Hughes' speeches have been ills appointing.
