nity 1o tlt'ljnte -:) mpa isii issues with .Mark Wi'itthcr-
ltird, Ins oij(K'iit. lie is ton proud to debate there are
so many embarrassing; questions he would be ealled upon
to answer.
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. J
