Robscvelt wants war. Hughes is in hearty accord with Roosevelt. Aro you? It is difficult to satisfy republican statesmen. They complain about large appropriations, which are due to $600,000,000 for preparedness, and complain at the same time because more was not done for j^eparedness. From every section of the country comes the news that men in every walk of life are lining up with President Wilson. It will be a landslide and no power on earth can stop it now. Ttie president will do his very ■ best to keep peace and prosperity. No Ollier issue counts this year. in Peoria. 111., during a speech by Mr. Hughes, some one in the audience asked tlie candidate what he would have done had he been in President Wilson's plat'd. Two policemon threw' the impertinent questioner out which was about the only logi- % cal and succinct answer that lias yet been made to the question by the opposition party or its candidate. I ' If the eight-hour law was the terrible blow to railroad companies which some of their organs and republican orators proclaim, why have railroad securities ranged several points higher since the eight-hour law passed than before? Railroad attorneys. including Candidate Hughes, would do well to think of that before they institute those against ‘‘confiscation of property,” whieii they are giving air to for political effect.

1 son and the democrats -Who have kept lids country at peace while the 1 world is upside down and have kept us prosperous ut the same time. They have enacted legislation that will keop the country prosperous and. : they should be permitted to enforce those laws for four years. It’s important for you and for the nation. Do the voters of the country understand what it means to have control of congress pass to such men as Ualiiuger of New Hampshire, Wtm-cn of Wyoming, Penrose of Pennsylvania, Smoot or Utah, Curtis of Kansas, Fordoy of Michigan, Phil Campbell of Kansas? ft means Just what happened when congress was controlled by them before —closed committee rooms, secret sessions, return of the lobby, tariff a probably currency legislation dedicated to the service of special privileg ■ a: J special interests. Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia university, who wasone of the chief backers of Eli! u Root in the republican national convention and who is now supporting Mr. Hughes, assumes no optimistic mood about the outcome of the presidential election. Dr. Butler has bedn touring the' western states. A dispatch from Taeoma, Washington, where lie is now visiting his brother, quotes him as expressing the following view of the political conditions: “Politics appears uncertain. This is noticeable everywhere, and especially in Ohio and Colorado,’ where people are not discussing issues but cent outing themselves in tlieir work. They are husy making money.” .«»« r.—»--- » t* *• *« l« l# l« *0 iflf If If If lf«f If !• 'f »f >»* I DOING,V IN SOCIETY | g 010% 01 •% 010* 010 i o%oioioi 0% 0101010* ** ** *yv 1Z • If If Ifi.
