control of the "old guard" of republican bosses, captained

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lette's seaman's bill must be repealed, the; Underwood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.

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."

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

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

ness. PRO BONO.

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

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.

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.
