We need pay no attention to candidates' promises, hut draw our con chisons from their deeds. Actions speak louder than words. Hughes as governor of New York spent most of his time in hitler (iiarrels with republican legislators and accom plished practically nothing. Wilson triumphantly proved his capacity for leader ship by teamwork with his partv in congress. Jlughes, with legalistic niind, betraved the man of nar row outlook, referred eonstantlv to musty law books for old precedents. llson, with broad vision, Hughes, as governor, allowed hardly any measure of benefit to the people to become a law. Wilson, as president, not only approved such measures, but earnestly urged and successfully secured their pas sage. In his vetoes, Hughes usually acknowledged the virtue ol tlie lulls, hut . And then bell, came his favorito reactionary words "unreasonable" and "confiscatory." It was thus he vetoed the and the commercial travelers, a two-cent passenger railroad enjoyed in many less populated states where nevertheless the roads are making good money , He vetoed the bill giving women teachers of Xew Yorl City equal pay with the men when they do 1 lie same work (And this from the man who lief in votes for women.) He vetoed the bill giving congested .New ork a live-cent tare to the seashore at Coney Island, although other companies give a longer ride in New York for that price ami find it richly profitable. lit? vetoed the full crew bill, which was backed by the labor organizations and especially by the railroad men although he now says he is strong for the laboring man. Wilson's opponents sneer at his doctrine of the new freedom, but he put it into actual successful practice. Hi! gave tho country a new .freedom from panics, and ll.e small business man a new freedom in the money mar ket, through the great federal reserve law, which has put it out of the power of a small to create panics at will or dictate distribution of loans.

' ' lie applied the doctrine of the new freedom to Mexico and gave that unhappy country a chance to work out its own savation. In every instance he was guided by the desire to secure the greatest good of the greatest number, to put the man above the dollar, to exalt right above might. Wilson has a record of constructive deeds a program, Hughes has ollered the people i I he nation has its liiture sake ot the common man words. Wilson conies before the nation with a ripe wisdom garnered by actual experience in solving great domestic problems and meeting grave international crises. Hughes, after quiet years on the supremo court bench, reveals himself out of touch wii h social service. Fresh from bailies for the people, Wilson looks confi dently to the future. Summoned from his lawbooks. Hughes blinks and looks dubiously to the past. liee it should vote to go forward with Wilson rather than turn backward with Hughes. pour more years of Wilson means a continuance of peace ami prosperity and Wall street out of politics. Pour years of Hughes- if his words indicate anything moans war. wastage ami willows, with the old guard in control and Wall street in power.

I .One month after President Wilson had declared this country neutral, as every sane man and woman in the na tion wanted him to do. Roosevelt wrote in unqualified ap proval of the policy. Two years later the same Roosevelt digs the last words from the dregs of his vocabulary of vituperation and hurls them at the president in an attempt to defeat him for re election because he sacrificed the national honor by not saying Relgiuin.

To the Editor: After listening to the speakers of the evening Sunday night, at the N'atatoriuin, I believe a statement is due the people of Medford and espec ially the church people. In behalf of the last amendment considered, thul to abolish the present Sunday law, ilie speaker made some very bold as sertions. One of which was: "If tlie present amendment carries abolishing the present Sunday law, it would mean the ruin of our churches." I do not believe and may God for bid that our churches are so far backsliding and separated from the divine source of power found in the Gospel of Christ thut the withholding or removal of the arm of civil law in religious matters (the speaker's re marks clearly showing this to he a re ligious law) would mean tho ruin of our churches. Never has, or will, the church of Christ appeal to civil power for help to promote to gospel as long ns they are partakers of tho divine power of Jesus Christ. The speaker further asserted that as though tho present Sunday law was. not as we might have it, if re tained, amendments could be made, but if abolished it would take 25 years to again get it on our statute books as it is today. The speaker failed to show what the present Sunday law is, what its requirements are, what its exemptions are and what its penalties nre, but merely emphasized its re tention. I trust that every citizen will thor oughly investigate the text of this law, which is wholly contrary to the constitution of tho United States and the declaration of independence, and which has no right upon our statute hooks. If each voter who is a lover of the liberty that prompted our fore fathers to sign the declaration of in dependence, granting to every indi vidual the right to worship Rod ac cording to the dictation of their con science, and tlie blessed right of choice, will give this candid thought, and if those in the calling of the ministry will go down on their knees and intercede for power from the di vine throne of God, instead of appeal ing tho civil throne of Ceaser, I nin sure you will vole with me Novem ber 7, 312 (X) Yes, thus granting to all that God-given right of liberty of choice.
