Mr. llawlcv asks le-eleetion on his support of .Ml Hughes, who would undo the entire program of construc- tnc legislation enacted by the u llson administration. Mr. JJawley was one of seventy republican coiiltcss men who voted for the Adauison ciht-hour law, which is slroiiKlv condemned bv Mr. llimhes. Mr. Ilawley would vote for its repeal, after having helped pass the bill. Why? Mr. ilawley voted for the child labor law, rural credits law and other measures iorced through by the president, which lie now promises to repeal. hvr Mr. Ilawley advocated the railroad program of dis posal of the O. it land grant to benefit the .Southern Pacific, and re Fused co-operation until the eleventh hour to the t liambei'lain bill, restoring the land to the govern incut and giving a. portion of the proceeds to the state school lnnil and land grant counties. W hy '. For a campaign issue Mr. Ilawley harks back to the pro tectivc tariff a theme of the Ws, and decries the non partisan tariff commission provided by Wilson's adminis tration to take the tariff out of politics a platform pledge of both the republicans ami progressives. He would re store the regime of special favors for privileged interests Mr. JIawlev dwells on the Mexican situation vet sup ported .t ho president's .Mexican policy in congress and never lilted Ins voice in protest. He now lavors armed in tervention in'othcr words, a war of eoiuiuest by a rich and powerful nation against a poverty-stricken people lorn by a revolul ion lor liberty. Does Mr. Ilawley indorse the president s peace policy':1 He does not. Why then did he not object when in con gress? Tf Mr. Ilawley is for war, wliv did he not voice his sentiments in congress? Mr. JIawlev, following his leader, uses his verbal ham mer freely in attacking the administration. Tie decries the president's lack of courage, vet had neither the sincerity nor courage to oppose the president in congress, or since adjournment to defend his own legislative record. Mr. llawlcv is badly worried over conditions that may arise after the war. Whatever conditions may arise, Mr. Ilawley hasn't the grasp or vision to offer a solution. He is a congressman of the "nie-too 7 tvpe, lollownnr the lead of Tilde ,Joe Cannon, without initiative and without con structive ability. Mr. Ilawley 's record in congress comes as near being a blank as possible. A reactionary at heart, he is out of sympathy with his district and out of joint with the times. No wonder he is too proud to debate. s THE HUGHES SLUMP (From the Now York World). HAS the Hughes campaign reached the beginning of the end? It would seem so. L'epubliean reports find democratic, reports ..agree that the swing is all toward President Wilson. The presi dent grows stronger and stronger as public sentiment be comes more articulate; Mr. Hughes is weaker and weaker. There is no mystery about the decline and prospective fall of the Iltighcs'candidacy. It lacked the one element without which no candidacy lias a right to succeed the element of good faith. Mr. Hughes has not been sincere with the American people. He has not been honest with the American people. He. has not been ou the. level. He has not been the Charles K Hughes whom they had ideal ized as a man who met every political issue and every pol itical situation squarely without fear or hesitation. Mr. Hughes began his campaign with a carefully pre larcd program of dodging ami evasion. In the midst of the greatest crisis known to modern civilization he deter mined to have no policies of his own. but to seek to con solidate ail Ihe motley opposition to the president. To do that he could not afford to have policies of his own, for there was no policy on which such a following could be united. What suited Wall street would not suit the west. What suited the Hermans would not suit the pro-liiitish and pro-l-'reneh. What suited the jingoes would not suit the pacifists. What suited the old guard would not suit the progressives. What suited Roosevelt would not suit Tal't. So Mr. Hughes resolved to attack everything that President Wilson had done, but to say nothing about his own plans and purposes. He was nom inated in the dark and he thought he could be elected in the dark. Whether or not he has discovered his mistake, the republican managers have discovered it. Instead of consolidating all the antagonistic elements that were opposed to the president. Mr. Hughes has awak ened their suspicions as to his own intentions. They have come to see that he cannot be playing fair with all of them and that he may not be playing fair with any of them. There have been campaigns when that kind of politics might sii cl : but this is no ordinary year. Mr. Hughes has been trifling Avitli the destiny of the nation when the future of I he republic is hanging in the balance. In com monplace times h would make little difference whether Wood row WiUoii or Charles K. Hughes was president of the I'liilcd States, but these are not commonplace times. Now that there has been an opportunity for the sober second thought, the American people arc balancing the books. On tiie one side is the definite record of President Yilsoii and his administration. On the other side is noth ing' except conjecture, speculation, faultfinding and de structive criticism. Naturally the voteix are turning to the president. How could it be otherwise? They know him. Tin y know what lie will do. They can trust him. Tiny cannot afford to trust any man who will nol trust them and who will not tell them what he would do as presi dent, and that is the position in which Mr. Hughes has placed himself. Thai is why the Hughes campaign has so suddenly slumped, and that is wh- the Hughes managers must make I heir last desperate appeal o ihe oWe- of money.
