"I think they were just us eloquent
in promises four years a,mi as they
are today." .Mr. Hughes said. "As I
look hack to the tntements thai
were made at that lime, 1 eannot see
hi A unr' ''fine eoiifd have .said any
thing more eliwjiienliy, mole persuas
ively than was at lliat lime with
respect to what was going to lie done
for Ameviean lahor and Ameriean
business. You would have thought
at that time that the sun of promise
had just begun In shine upon a be
nighted world, and that they were go
ing; to have an entirely new condition
in which labor would profit to the
utmost and American business would
get nil extraordinary incentive.
"Well, they have put their ideas
into .force. They have not had a
chance to do it for a great many
years. They proceeded to do it with
very exl nt ordinary resnlts. In the
lirst place, they had a tariff for rev
cuiie only, hut it was a tariff that did
not nroduce revenue. We had a great
falling otf in revenue through a tar
iff for revenue, while we had a great
increase of imports, and so in time
tit' peace, which now they empha
size, forgetting the little wars we
have had in Mexico, ihey had to pass
what is called a war revenue hill to
lake care of the delicit which was
the result of their fiscal policy.
"Then they said they were jrniiiir to
have Ameriean enterprise take on n
new size and -peed, ami it did. a
inm-h rcd'irrtl autl a much -lower

40 MDJJ0N A MONTH
TO PROGRESSIVE VOTERS
TO TIIK PUOliUKSSIVK VOTKUS OF OltlOliO.N:
At the primary election, held in April, 19 IS. you elected me im
a progressive iiresldentiul elector.
lien one Is elected to any office in the state of Oregon., and the
vote canvassed, and the result announced. It is then the duty of the
Rovernor of this stale to slsn and Issue a eerlilieate of election.
and the secretary of state must place the liiiino of the successful
en ml Ida to on the uallot. The Rovernor and secretary of slate have
no other election or 'option in the premises.
Vnder the law ot OreKon, a candidate elected to an office must
accept the same. The law is compulsory, aud he could not resign
even thouKh he desired.
I attended the national prosressive convention in Chicago last
June, and that convention composed of as aide and representative
Americans as have ever assembled In this country, nominated
Theodore Roosevelt us its cniulidato for president.
Two weeks after the convention adjourned iie became a traitor .
! to every principle he announced and declared for theretofore, and
declined the promesslve nomination for president.
Hy an act of treachery ami perfidy unknown n the political lire
of tho natiou he made It unfeasllile for the progressive party to
make a new nomination, so we find the progressive party without
u presidential candidate.
I have elected to vote for "Woodrow Wilson as president, for tho
reason that he has on his own motion embodied 1 tt specific decltira-
tlons of tho progressive platform Into concrete living laws in the
statutes of tho United States.
For the same reason .lohn M. l'arker, the candidate of the pro-
gresslve party for vice president, has openly declared for President
Wilson, and Is now campaigning for ills reelection.
Now, as a matter of simple fairness and common honesty, I sug-
gest to the progressives of Oregon, that they do not vote for me as
a progressive presidential elector; let your vote be the expression
of an idea.
As progressives, let us vote from Influence of reason and not
from the heartless instincts of hnto and prejudice.
Your vote should express the incarnation of a principle, Pres-
Ident Wilson has wisely originated and approved the most beiie-J
ficial legislation known in the last half century of our national lire.
On August 2o, last, lie sent a message to congress w-htch brings
a hope and emancipation to the toiling man behind the throttle,
and called attention to a century old wrong; that message found
expression in the Ailainson bill as a blessed hope to the toiling men,
" women and children of this land and holds lor struggling humanity
a goldon promise.
With the wisdom of a Nestor and the courage of a Titan, he has
challenged the vampire crew of special privilege; and so far no suc-
cessful criticism has cast a single aspersion upon his acts as presi-
dent.
The country will enlarge its history and add to Its Immortality
by his reelection. KM.METT CALLAHAN,
Chairman ot the Progressive Party for Portland, Ore.

BUSINESS IN

STATE POSITION
Open Letter Addressed to Candidate
by Twenty-two of Largest Manu
facturers, Askinu, Whether Laws
Beneficial to Business Will Be Re
pealed in Case of His Election.
NKW YOUK, Nov. FeariuK the
election of Charles K. Hughes would
briiiK disaster to the business inter
ests of the country, 22 of the largest
1 nsmess men In the Culled Slates
have addressed an open letter to the
republican candidate, demanding to
know exactly what he would do If
president.
Attention Is called In the letter to
tiio present unequaled prosperity und
to the fact that this prosperity prom
ises o continue unless the laws bene
fitting; business men, which have been
passed in President Wilson's admin
istration are repealed or modified.
That Mr. Hughes would attempt to
meddle with these laws is taken for
granted by the signers of the letter,
who quote from hit M.ilwaukee speech
when he declared that the whole
Democratic legislative aeeoniplUh
ments must be wiped off the books
for the good of the country."
Ten Specific Questions Asked
Ten specific questions are put to
Candidate Hughes In the business
men's open letter, which follows In
lull:
' To Mr. Hughes: As business men,
wo are concerned about the future.
We can n-eet almost any condition,
provided wo know In advance to a
reasonable extent what we may ex
pect. "Wo have ronsiderul carefully the
present status of, tho country's busi
ness. We know that alter three years
of President Wilson's administration:
"The wealth of tho I'nited States
has grown faster than in any nation
In the world's history within tho same
period.
"The bank clearings of our coun
try have reached the highest figures
over recorded by any country.
"The deposits of our national

Our foreign commerce has enjoyed an
expansion never equaled, and theve
lias been a greater Increase In the
n im tier of our ships engaged In for
eign trade, and in the number of mer
chant ships building In our yarns
than has ever been witnessed any

States in 2 mouths have added to
the nation's income over a billion dol
lars, a figure until now unknown In
the world's agricultural progress.
"More men are now employed In
our industries and at higher wages
than ever before in our history.
"The cornerstone of this strucltire
is domestic confidence and industrial
strength at home. Trade In war sup

liy (IKOIMIK CliFKL
Whiskers have always possessed u
peculiar appeal to the American peo
ple. In some ipieer way they huve
come to be associated in the public
mind with hone-dy, simplicity, force
and high purpose. The patent medi

possibilities of this childlike belief,
and in their advertising- it was always
bearded men who totd ot' marvelous
en res and miraculous escapes from
death.
Only on llie score of tins blind,
traditional I'aith in whiskers is it
possible n explain the legend that
has erown up around Charles K.
Hughes. Kven among; those disap-'
pointed and alienated by his cam
paign speeches, the opinion still pre
vails that he wu a "jrieat gover
nor." As a matter of fact, lie was a very
poor governor, futile to the last de
gree. His failures were many, bis
victories few, and when be quit Al
bany for Washington he left behind
him a disorganized public service,

ability, without the gift of leadership,
without vision ami resniree, he blun

him. This was Failure No. J.
The regulation of Wall street spec

in bis lirsl tetm, and again in the
second, although the report of the

Throughout his campaign, Mr.
Hughes took a position on conserva
tion as advanced as that of Mr. I'in
chut. Aside from the pur-base of
Sa ralon Springs, no conservation
iiicuMire of any kind was passed. Not
only this, but he signed tin amend

presented a water power corporation
with grants o' inestimable value. The
