SLIPPERY EVASIONS
WITH a jrri'iit sliow of "frankiu'ss" t be "hiinclml pur
cent caiiiliilnte" is iK'iiiiiiii to i:culy to questious
as to what he would have dune had lie heen president. And
his replies, instead of eluariiif; things up for the votci-s, add
to the obscurity of the situation.
At Louisville, it wilr he remembered, he was asked what
he would have done if he had been president when the Ger
mans torpdoed the Lusitania. His reply was that had he
been president the Germans would not have torpedoed the
Lusitania.
At Sioux City, more recently, he was asked: "Will
you uvgo the repeal of the Adamson eifdit-hour law for rail
way men, if you are elected president .'"
To which he made this reply: ''Yon cannot repeal a
surrender."
The partisan republican newspapers are coinniendhitf
their candidate very Jiighly for his "frankness with the
people," etc.
Taking the Hughes reply at Sioux City for a text, the
Chicago Herald winds up an enthusiastic half-column
editorial with the comment:
"It is good for candidates to go on record on matters
of vital importance."
It certainly is; that's exactly what the voters have a
right to expect.
And now if the "hundred percent candidate" will tell
us what he would have done about the Lusitania and
whether he will urge the repeal of the eight-hour law, we
shall be glad to publish the answers for t lie enlightenment
of our readers.
Certainly neither Candidate Hughes nor his newspaper
supporters have so low an opinion of the intelligence of the
voters a.s to expect that such slippery evasions will be ac
cepted as answers.
AS TO G-R0VER CLEVELAND
TPIIOSK of us whose middle life is abreast of the present
A day can well remember the abuse that was poured
upon the head of G rover Cleveland by the same men who
are now resorting to the same methods to defeat President
Wilson.
And it seems to ns the rankest hypocrisy that the
Hughes spellbinders, particularly Roosevelt, are now re
ferring to G rover Cleveland's "strength, courage and
firmness" in comparison' with what they are pleased to
call Wilson's "weakness, cowardice and vacillation."
"Oh, for an hour of (J rover Cleveland!" cries Roose
velt. "There was strength for you, and courage and firm
ness." '
lint Roosevelt does not say to what cud the "strength,
courage and firmness" of G rover Cleveland were directed.
The fact is that they were exerted to guide the nation
into ways of peace against the influences that would have
dragged the country into war then, as they would now.
Let us read a few words from Andrews' history. "The
United States in Our Own Time," published in 190:!:
"Willi hln party and the people nt Inrno Mr. Cleveland's foreign policy
wiih Tor it Ions time even le.8 po. Hilar than his procedure touching tariff and
finance. His indication of an extradition treaty with Russia was violently
crlticlzi;-.d, as also his refusal to i :ess Turkey for the human treatment or
Christians in that empire. When, wholly without warrant, a Spanish RUn
boat fired on the Alllanca, a L'nltod States passenger steamer off Cuba, many
thought our government indecently dilatory in demanding roparatiou. When
(treat Britain occupied Corinto in Nicaragua, to compel the payment of J75
HU0 In reparation for Nicaragua's expulsion of Consul Hatch, an influential
paper bitterly assailed the president for permitting thla affront to the Mon
roe doctrine. Not a few felt lh.it we meanly deferred to Orent Rritain. ami
even to Nicaragua. These compla'nts w-ore not wholly partisan: democrats
Joined republicans In viewing Mr. Cleveland's foreign policy as spiritless and
'uii'American.' The severest icpvi.bation met his dealings in Hawaii."
And it should not be forgotten that except in the case
of Hawaii. G rover Cleveland's decisions finally stood and
were accepted by all. T , ...
HIS PEN OR YOUR LIFE
ONI' of the best editorial indorsements of the campaign
is that given by the Detroit News, an independent
newspaper, to President Wilson in the following:
"A great deal of fun has been had over note-writing,
although we used to be fond of iiioting, "The pen is
mightier than the sword."' Rut President Wilson has had
just two tools he could use his pen with his brain behind
it, or your life.
"That is all lie had. lie could send notes, or he could
send human lives, lie had to use cither the tools of dip
lomacy, or he had to use American fathers and brothers
anil sons of whom you likely would have been one. '
"Now, aside from part isan preferences, which would
you prefer a president to risk first his pen. or your life.'
President Wilson tried his pen first. If the pen had failed
through any weakness in its handling, he would have had
to fall back on t he bodies of American men, offered as sac
rifices on the altar of battle.
" l!ut the notes did not fail, because they were not weak
tiolis. and they were not written by a weak man."

GLOOMY OUTLOOK iHANG OUT FLAGS
FOR HUGHES SEEN FOR OBSERVANCE
IN N.Y.HERALD POLL
The New York Herald pull ol lu-t
Sunday indicates t lint Yi-,..n will
sweep the eountrv on November 7.
The Herald MiVs:
"Wuli election day ju-l nltecn du.v
oil', (lie presidential tide i- drifting
towards Wilnou. Mr. Hughes lut
made piins in state which arc- ordi
narily republican, but which thU year
are not. onlv in doubt, but likely to
decide the election. Tim stales in
which Mr. Hughes, in tin; Herald's
sJrnw vote, has made gains, are New
Yolk (np-stiite), Connecticut, Idaho,
Ma.ssucliusetts, Montana, South l)a
kotn and Xciv Jersey. The slates
where the president has made vains
are Illinois, Indiana. Maryland, Mich
igan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Ohio.
Washington, West Virginia and Wis
consin. Mr. Unhcs lias been lo-ing.
He is much weaker than his party.
I'rcsidciit Wilson 1ms been gaiuiug.
lie is much stronger than his party."
Wilson is given 208 votes as n-sur-cd.
Hughes 147, and 1 70 are classed
as iloubirul. The Hughes list include
California, lown, Kansas, Maine,
Massachusetts, Minnesota. Montana.
Nevada. New Hampshire. North Da
kota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South,
llakola, Utah, Vermont and Wyoming,
muny of which are claimed by the
deiiiuerals. The doubtful states are
listed as C'oimrclicul. Delaware,
Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan. Ne
braska, New Jersev New York. Ohio,
lihode Island, Washington, all ol'
which are claimed by the liemociats.
The llcnild admils llial Wilson can
win without New York, but that
Hughes cannot.
Considering the l'act lhal the pull is
taken by newspapers snppoiting
Hughes, like I he Cortland Oregonian.
Los Angeles Times, etc., and that the
Herald is supporting Hughes also, the
outlook, us the Herald says, "is
gloomv Tor Hughes."
