"COMPLETE ACCORD WITH ROOSEVELT”

HUGHES' FOREIGN POLICY DICTATED BY THE JINGO WHO, HAD HE BEEN IN THE WHITE HOUSE, SAYS EX-PRESIDENT TAFT, “WOULD HAVE PLUNGED US INTO WAR” Fact 1 Roosevelt said: “We shirked our duty by failing to take any action; by announcing that we would be neutral.” Fact 2 —Roosevelt said: “It is a wicked thing to be neutral between right and wrong, 1. e., between Belgium and Germany.” Fact 3 —Root denounced the President for “pusillanimous conduct” in his negotiations with Germany, and repeated all of Roosevelt’s arguments. Fact 4 —Lodge gave utterance to the same doctrine. Fact 5 Roosevelt declared he would not accept a nomination at the hands of the Progressive Party If the Republican Party would nominate a man whose foreign policies were in accordance with his own! Fact 6 —On June 10, the Republican National Convention nominated Justice Charles Hughes. Fact 7—On June 22, Roosevelt said: “They (Mr. Wilson and his party) have taught us that peace, the peace of cowardice and dishonor and indifference to the welfare of others, is to be put above righteousness, above the stem unflinching performance of duty.” Fact B—On June 27, Roosevelt said: “In my judgment the nomination of Mr. Hughes meets the (my) condition. No good American can have any feeling except scorn and detestation for those professional GermanAmericans who seek to make the American President in effect a viceroy of the German Emperor. They represent that adherence to the politicoracial hyphen which Is the badge and sign of moral treason to the Republic. I am certain that that candidate (Hughes) Is incapable of being influenced by the evil intrigues of these hyphenated Americans.” Fact 9 —On June 29 Roosevelt and Hughes were at dinner together for two and a half hours.

Fairbanks’ Indorsement of Wilson

Exploiters Wanted Intervention I have no doubt that the disturbances in Mexico during the last few years have been due, in a greater or less degree, to an effort on the part of ambitious, cunning men to force intervention and possibly annexation to the United States. The exploiters of public utilities and of the mineral and agricultural resources of our neighbor have undoubtedly thought that they would gain much if they could force intervention by the United States. There are soldiers of fortune in Mexico who would undoubtedly welcome such a contingency. Sensationalists are adding to the confusion of the situation and making more difficult the solution of the problem. Intervention in Mexico is, of course, not a matter to be considered lightly; for intervention means war, and war means the destruction of human lives and the expenditure of hundreds of millions of dollars. Uphold Wilson's Hands It means, furthermore, the responsibility of the government of 20,000,000 people for an indefinite period. We are now engaged in governing 10,000,000 aliens as the result of the Spanish-American war—a war which could very probably have been averted if we could have exercised a little more patience, patriotism and self-restraint. If our speculators in Mexico suffer pecuniary loss as the result of recurring revolutions, that is a matter for further consideration, when stable government and peace are fully established in that country. It is not warrant for shedding the blood of Americans. To sacrifice the life of one soldier for all of the dollars Investors or speculators have ventured in Mexico would be the supremest criminal folly, without a deliberate affront on the part of the Mexican government, whether it exists dejure or de facto, is no good ground on which we would be justified in sending our armies beyond the Rio Grande. President Wilson is dealing with it (the situation) as best he can. We may not entirely agree that his course Is better than that of his distinguished predecessor, nevertheless, we should endeavor to uphold his hands. There should be no difference of opinion as to that. By doing so we shall make his task a comparatively easy one. President a Safe Guide It is not an ■'hour for'either little politics or sensational journalism. The clamor of the jingoes should not be allowed to drown the voice of rational, deliberate statesmanship. It is a pretty safe rule, when we come to deal with grave international problems, to put our faith in the President of the United States and follow where he may lead. He speaks for the country when we come to deal with international affairs. The President of the United States is a safer guide than sensationalists and the soldiers of fortune who come to the surface whenever international controversies arioe. —From speech of Charles Warren Fairbanks to the Republican editors of Indiana at the Claypool hotel, Indiana]>olis, August 21, 11)13.

Fact 10 —After that dinner Hughes said: “We talked very fully over all matters AND WERE IN COMPLETE ACCORD.” Fact 11 —Three days after that dinner Roosevelt said of Hughes: “His high qualities must recommend him to the esteem of the whole world, particularly to the sympathy of the Allies. He certainly would never have suffered the Government of the United States, as one of the signatories to the Hague Treaty, to pass over without protest the violation of Belgium’s neutrality by Germany. He would never write two notes on the same offense. He would perhaps issue a warning, but afterwards he would act according to his conscience and for the honor of civilization. This is what he certainly will do, if he becomes the President of the United States.” Fact 12— On August 31, Roosevelt denounced German citizens for “acting as servants and allies of Germany.” He condemned the Administration for failing to live up to its duty to resist the invasion of Belgium.. He added: “We can put In power an administration which will live up to our national obligations. As between Mr. Hughes and Mr. Wilson, who can doubt which is the man who will with austere courage stand for the national duty?” Fact 13 —On September 1, Hughes wired Roosevelt: “I heartily congratulate you on the speech at Lewiston and warmly appreciate your effective supportspoke of Roosevelt as “That stalwart American who woke the country”; and aped Roosevelt by saying : “We want deeds to match words. I am not one of the kind that is too proud to fight.” On the following day, he stated that he knew what was in Roosevelt’s Maine speech, and endorsed every word of it! Fact 14—Candidate Hughes springs from the most loyal of British Btock, the Welsh. His father emigrated from Wales in 1855, barely seven years before Charles was born. Fact 16 —Mr. Hughes naturally sympathizes with England, as does a son of a German Immigrant with that country which he lovingly refers to as "Fatherland.” It Is only natural that Mr. Hughes should stamp his approval upon all that Roosevelt —hater and traducer of German-American citizens —utters. Fact 16—If Roosevelt’s policy, which Mr. Hughes has , accepted without modification, had, for the past 24 months, been the policy of. this Gov-

ernment, war with Germany would have been inevitable. Fact 17 —And If we had conquered, we could have obtained nothing more than an upology for wrongs committed, a promise to respect our rights in the future, and a monetary Indemnity! Fact 18 —If Mr. Hughes is elected President on this issue, it is notice to all the world that America repudiates her policy of peace for the Roosevelt-Hughes policy of war. Let the issue be not misunderstood. We know, the world know’s, that Woodrow Wilson will maintain the peace unless the Nation’s honor is assailed. He is no more afraid to fight than a real God-fearing, brave, upright man should be. Thoughtful men know that a President advised by Roosevelt in accord and agreement with Roosevelt, would «"* soon fight as be right. A vote for Hughes Is a potential vote for war. Now Let Ua Add It All Up, first noting carefully that "We talked very fully over all matters and WERE IN COMPLETE ACCORD!” With Whom? In complete accord with Roosevelt! In complete accord with the man who brazenly flaunts his loathing hatred of Germany and his animosity toward German-Americans; openly praises the Allies “who are dedicated to the cause and are fighting for the principle"; publicly proclaims Hughes’ “qualities which must recommend him to the sympathies of the Allies”; treacherously calls the President of i his country a “mollycoddle,” and a “man of weasel words”; and falsely asserts that we were BOUND by treaty obligations to go to war with Germany over Belgium! Hughes talks of national honor! W’hen be doffed the ermine robe of the Supreme Court of the United States and forsook the society of its Justices and turned his back to the precepts of Blackstone, Coke, and Marshall, he seems to have donned the crazyqullt of an exigency candidate to become the counsel of Flinn, Hitchcock, Wlllcox, Perkins, Schwab, Gary, Guggenheim, Du Pont, Penrose, Barnes, Crane, Smoot, Lodge, Root, Morgan, et al. —and the political understudy of the man with whom he is in complete accord —the man who says we ought to be at war with Germany and with Mexico—ROOSEVELT I

PROSPERITY NOT DUE TO OEMS OF WAR

Bulk Comes From Ordinary Business Channels, Declares Charles M. Schwab. S2,SOO,OOO,OOOTRADEBALANCE Department of Commerce Shows Vast Gain in Wealth Under Wilson-. Munitions Business Is but On* Per Cent, of Total. In answer to the cry of Republican politicians, that the unprecedented prosperity that has come to America under the administration of President Wilson Is due to the European war oaders, comes a statement from Charles U. Schwab, bead of the Bethlehem Steel Company, himself a Republican, that refutes the charge. “It is a mistake to imagine that the major portion of our business ia war order business.* says Mr. Schwab, in a signed article in the October number of System. -Even a casual inspection of the great volume of exports will demonstrate that {he bulk ia drawn from the ordinary course of business, it is also found that, at present prices, domestic business Is as profitable as foreign munition business.* No one can doubt the capability of Mr. Schwab to judge the business situation. nor can one gainsay the recent figures Issued by the Department of Commerce. In this report, it is stated that, daring the first eight months of the present fiscal year, the exports of the United States showed a trade balance In favor of this country of $1,730,000,000. , | Trade Balance $2,500,000,000. Predictions are made that the trade balance for the. entire year will exceed the unprecedented figure of $2,500,000.000. The value of the export* for the eight months was $3,43.>,969.212. an Increase of $1,206,8X2,100 over the same period last year. Another financial authority, too, has spoken—Charles Hayden, of Boaton. lie estimates that American securities held abroad have been reduced from 90.000.000.0001 before the war. to $1,000,000,000 at the present time. Coincidentally, the United States has become a creditor of foreign nations, for the first time In history, to the extent of sl/4)0.000.000. Under Wilson. therefore, we have, wi|*nf out $6,000,000,000 of foreign indebtedness, and are a creditor to the amount of $500,000,000. Mr. Hayden calls attention to the fact that this always was a debtor nation under Republican rule.

All Classes Prosperous. And so. from all sections of the country, from all kinds and classes of business, from the merchant, the manufacturer, the farmer, the workingman. come reports of Unparalleled: prosperity. The Chamber of Commerce of the United States, in am official report, declares that basic stocks are rising, that railroad earnings are abnormally bigh (Indicating the greet movement of commodities), and that the national prosperity will continue. Not temporary prosperity, due tothe war, is this that is filling the coffers of the nation. It has a sound basis for permanency, made certain, by the laws enacted under the Wilson Administration. The President himself, in his recent speech at Baltimore, emphasized the value to thecountry of the Tariff Commission, theTrade Commission, the Federal Reserve Board and the shipping MIL These enactments not only will stimulate the productiveness of the country, hut will safeguard Its output and provide a means of conveying It to all the ports of the world. How Business Has Gained. Here Is Just a glimpse at percentages. prepared by expert statisticians, that prove what the Wilson Administration has done for the people: Increase in bank deposits, 68 per cent.; money in circulation. 22 per cent.; stock of gold in United States. 34.1 per cent.; foreign commerce, 52.7 per cent.; balance of trade in favor of United States. 287.6 per cent.; agricultural exports. 44.1 per cent.; manufactured exports, 155 per cenL; railway revenues, 37.6 per cent; value of general crops and live stock, 12.4 per cent.; value of wheat crop, 67.5 per cent.; output of pig iron, 35 pa* cent.; production of steel, 355 pa cent.; farm lands. 12.7 pa men employed In manufacturing. 232 per cent;, wages paid in manufacturing. 4L5 pa cent; capital employed in manufacturing. JO2 pa cent.; valueof manufactured products, 412 pa cent. So It may be seen that all lines ot industry have profited under the greet wave of prosperity that the Democratic administration has wrought AND THE MUNITIONS BUSINESS COMPRISES ONLY ONE PER CENT.. OF THE TOTAL OF MANUFACTURED PRODUCTS. la it the part of wisdom, to gamble with prosperity such an thief Will the American voter dare ta throw away a sore thing, on the chance that his return may be the devastation! ***
