He is a man of the same type, conservative, deliberate, accustomed to consider carefully the consequences of his acts, never rash, never yielding to hasty impulse or swayed by the heat of passion, yet withal inferior in capacity and experience. It is impossible to imagine Mr. Hughes as president writing • a message to congress demanding a great war credit and ihstant naval and military preparation for a war with Germany, because of the invasion of Belgium or the destruction of the Lusitania. Mr. Hughes will not be elected. His defeat is to be desired, among many other reasons, for this good and sufficient reason, that the invasion of the supreme court’s chamber by needy politicitips in search of a leader, now for the first time in American history, successfully accomplished, may be rebuked and made a precedent too dangerous for following.—New York Times. In nominating Justice Hughes for president, the republican party has paid to Woodrow Wilson the highest compliment it was capable of paying to him. It has selected as its own candidate the republisan who in the popular mind most nearly resembles President Wilson in character, in ability, in temperament, and in capacity for idealistic public service. It has taken the republican Wilson to be its standard bearer, because it did not dare take anybody who represented a contrast to the democratic Wilson. It has brought the supreme court of the United States into polity because it was afraid to fbminate a candidate with a recent record of opposition to the • president. The World has the highest respect for Mr. Hughes as a man " and a public servant. There is nobody in public life for whom we have a higher personal regard, but we can find no reason why he should be elect- . ed president in place of Woodrow ' Wilson. We can find innumerable reasons why the sinister and crooked and un-American interests that are trying to use him for their own pur- • poses should be overwhelmed at the • polls.—New York World. The Difference. "Light shower" is defined by the • Kansas City Star as a thunderstorm lust before the ball game. A “cloud- » burst” is a thunderstorm just before • church time. — — —- II » '— • •««» Have you ever tried that Rockingchair union suit? Ifyouhaventyou are missing something that is worth while.

MOOSERS TO AID (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) decide it. Nomination of Fairbanks as vicepresident by the republicans appears to have made certain the nomination of Marshall also of Indiana by lhe democrats. Governor Major of Missouri had a carefully nutured boom for the second place job but the delegates all seem to talk Marshall. Naturally the first choice will be Wilson. The platform will be a pointer of pride at the record of the Wilson administration. Former secretary of state Bryan has promised not to break loose' on prohibition so there wip be no division of opinion here. Washington, June 12—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Charles E. Hughes, republican candidate for president, opened his campaign with a rush today with a trip to New York for conferences with the party leaders. Hughes arrived at seven o’clock and went directly' to the Hotel Astor where lie displayed true campaign form' bv sending word he would see newspaper men at once. “Will Frank Hitchcock be chairman of the national cqjnmittee?” Mr. Hughes was asked. ‘I can’t say anything on that just now,” replied the candidate with a smile. "Will you see Colonel Roosevelt?” “I can’t say anything on that either” replied Hughes. He was in good humor and evidently is overjoyed at his return to active politics in the role of republican presidential nominee. MEXICANRAH) AT WEBB TEXAS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) took the offensive all along the Trentino front, iriaking general advances. This movement, it is understood, is to be a powerful attack, timed simultaneously with the Russian offensive and the reported withdrawal of Austrian troops from the Trentino. Plain.
