When Candidate Hughes looked somewhat more about him and saw that the country had been kept from war. he exclaimed. "It is peace, but a shameful peace; i|L’s the wrong kind.” When Candidate Hughes took notice that there had not been and was not to be a conquering invasion of Mexico, he shouted: "We are not fighting. but we are kept from fighting bv the wroror method- it is a great <huWhen Candidate Hughes beheld the enactment of the child labor law, he derided: "The democrats seem Io think they discovered the children; I was for that nine years ago. We must really do something for the children. 1 ” When Candidate Hughes witnessed the success of the president and congress in averting the greatest industrial war of all history, he was vastly alarmed: "This will never do; it is ominous of a dissolution of the country. I am for the fellows that labor, and we don’t want a great strife, hat mercy me! I wouldn’t do it that way.” Mr. Hughes bawls and Qualls about the Wilson foreign policy, about the Wilson Mexican policy, about the strike prevention. But he sets up no policy of his own. He leaves the antiGerman Roosevelt to abuse the German vote to drive in other votes, while he shies constantly away from that issue to hold the German support he was promised. He is slamwhanging away on Mexico, but when asked if he would have supported Huerta shrieks hte frightened disclaimer — "Now, I didn’t say that.”—Ft. Wayne Journal Gazette. Vice President, Marshall—at Decatur—at three o'clock p. m. —Monday, September 18th. Come and hear the distinguished hoosier. Thomas R.

questions of the hour concerning your government. • 1 Edison, the worlds greatest inventor, former progressive and independent, has declared for the reelection ' of Mr. Wilson and he does not hesitate to give his reasons ior so doing. His reasons ought to be sufficient for any one else, who will give the questions a little or a lot of study. Teddy Roosevelt is still pounding away in Maine, though apparently some what discouraged aqd disguested with Hughes. It’s a queer arrange ment any way and its about imitosi sible for any one to read Roosevelt and Hughes tirades and understand why any one could vote against President Wilson.
