HUGHES DOQBES ISSUE 1 nil rmnruniiD iiiui

Uli UUni IIUUI1 IMi Attacks Wilson's Plan but Won't Tell Public What' He Would Have Done. ONLY WAY TO AVERT STRIKE. Republican Nominee, Is, Asked to Declare If He Would Have Vetoed the Bill With Certain Assurance of Industrial Disaster. So busy has been Charles E. Hughes criticising the deeds of the Wilson Administration that he has had little time, or has purposely evaded, telling the public what he would have done had he been Tresident under similar circumstances. Lately MY. Hughes has turned his attacks upon President Wilson's suc cessful, settlement of the crisis in the railroad world by causing to be passed by Congress the Adamsou oitrhMiour bill. Mr.. Hughes has characterized this action as a "surrender to force"; he is-"opposed, to being dictated to by any power on earth before the facts are' known" ; and he would not act until he had had a "fair investigation and candid treatment." Taking issue with the -Republican candidate's attitude the New York Times, in an editorial, asks: "WHAT WOULD ÄR.-HUGHES HAVE DONE? "Well, what way would MrlrHughes have taken?" continues tJho-Times. "What would he have done? Here was Mr. Wilson's position: The brotlierhood refused arbitration, the railroad presidents would not accept the settlement Mr. Wilson, proposed, granting the eight-hour' standard day with provision for an impartial inquiry into its working. . There was no law on the statute books to enforce arbitration. "The President knew,, .knew with certainty and beyond question, that he could not get such a law from the Con cress now in session. The sure t 7 " - - and inevitable alternative to his ac ceptance of the eight-hour standard day measure was a strike, the sus pension of railway service, freight and passenger, all over the country, be ginning on the morning of Sept. 4th. WOULD HUGHES HAVE -DONE IT? "Mr. Hughes 'would not surrender to anvbodv in the country.' Then he would have surrendered the country to the disturbance, immeasurable loss, and peril of a strike. Would he, in fact, have done that? Had he been President, confronted by that situa tion, would Mr. Hughes have brought on a strike by refusing to sign the bill granting a wage Increase? There was the strike in plain sight, a few hours away, sure to come. Would Air. 1-Iiurhps have vetoed the bill? On the contrary, would hr not have done just what Mr. Wilson did, sign it? "The Republican candidate stands for two things: - First, for the prin ciple of fair, impartial, thorough, can did, arbitration ; and second, for legislation on facts according to the Tipcpssltitt&rof the case.' Mr. Wilson stands for those two things and, much more, hns Dledoed himself to use all - - " - his influence to secure them. "What more could Mr. Hughes do? Would it be too much to ask the Re publican candid.. te to put a little com mon fairness into his speeches? Is he afraid to tell his audiences what the President actually did urge upon Congress? "As a true champion of arbitration, President Wilson reeonimendedv that arbitration judgments be made rec orris of a court of law, in order that their interpretation and enforcement ninv not lie with the parties to the dispute, but 'with an impartial and authoritative tribunal.' It was his purpose in this recommendation to provide acainst future emergencies, to prevent the recurrence of sucl fin nirers as then confronted him and the country. ADVICE TO RAILROADS. "The people of the United States are not going to be put off with the misinformation as to what the President did to avert a strike and to provent the threat of future strikes. We have reason to believe thU the full ffvcliithin of what lie did. what he tried to do. and what he m:i:!y suc ceeded in doing in the White Lloust ('onfpi'piif( v.iild mit such a face upon the matter that Republican ef forts to make an issue of it would fall entirely flat. -But the people do know, for it was before them in the President's address i to Congress, that he proposed, not a sinfi-le Miiersrenev act. but a broad program of legislation to meet a pub I Hp nfuf1 nnil ncrmniipnt V reiUOVC a public danger. It was a rrogram which we arc convinced the railroads would be very wise to accept in Its entirety. "Certainly it sedftis to. us that they are ill advised to pray for the election of Mr. Hughes, who. if we take him at his word. Vould Jiave brought on the strike, with all 4ts irreparable I injuries to the country's business and peril for the country's peace. AITST; TTCTeS Tarser yields from the crops that follow.

CHARGE RESULTS FROM SEIZURE OF "WET GOODS" W0RTH $1,500,000 AT GIRARD (ALA.) AND REIGN OF MARTIAL LAW

OFFICIALS IN BIG BOOTLEGGING" TRUST

National Monthly's Correspondent Declares "Dry" Legislators

and Judges Owned Part of Illicit Stock and Planned. To Make Millions. In Selling It

That leading Prohibition advocates have been interested in the flagrant violations of Alabama's "dry" laws is trie finding of John Barry Selkirk in an article in the National Monthly. The article, entitled "Cheating the State," relates: The fact that Alabama's prohibition law has been flagrantly violated in rural communities ever sintee it hecame operative two years ago, has been generally known; that men in liigh official ""station claiming to be prohibitionists were financially concerned in this wholesale violation of law has been suspected; that Representatives in the Legislature who voted for the passage of the prohibition bills two years ago were parties to a conspiracy to make money out of the law, has been an open secret for a long time. However, the best informed men in the state were not prepared for the revelation that mil lions of dollars are invested in the lawless enterprise. Prohibition members of the Legis lature hay been caught in a net spread by tho Attorney General's office. Municipal and county officials have become hopelessly entangled in the same net. Liquor of every con ceivable kind and in astonishingly large quantity is known to be secreted in small towns throughout the btate to be served to the population by bootleggers and operators of blind tigers at 1.50 a quart, the same costing some combine $2 a gallon. i "Drys" Own the Liquor. This abundance of liquor does not belong to licensed dealers in neighboring states. It is the property of prohibition legislators, mayors of towns, sheriffs of counties, probate judges, who try small offenders against the law, and those private citizens who can be induced to invest their savings in a lawless conspiracy. This class of citizens seem to be in the majority in come communities. The sheriff controls the law-enforcing machinery of the county. His depu ties can make a law effective, or render it worse than useless. They fol low the orders of the sheriff. If district constable shows symptoms of revolt, he is promptly taken into the combine, his official badge bein his capital stock. The mayor controls the police department, andhis friends and tools are put on the force. They never . see anything that the mayor does not want them to see. The prohibition member of the Legislature is influential at the state capital and useful to quiet any possible outbreak anions- the hhrhly moral and sus picious element of the community. He assures them that all is well and quiets their fears. Probate judges are not devoid of useful quality. They are influential men in their commun ities. Liquor Valued at $1,500,000. Law agents from the office of the Attorney General of Alabama have seized at Girard, Ala., more than $1,500,000 worth of contraband liquors. The value of the seizure is attested by the Attorney General himself in a public statement. Girard is a small town of less than 5,000 inhabitants, situated on the Chattahoocjiee river in Southern Alabama, near the more pretentious city of Columbus, Ga. It is in the heart of a section of country that has been more insistent for the enactment of prohibition laws for both Alabama and Georgia. The story of the ownership and storing of this enormous amount of liquor could not be given credence in any conservative company in the ab sence of official testimony; but the official testimony is not lacking. It is of record in the office of the Attorney General in the city of Montgomery, and on the dockets of justices of the peace at Girard, where returns were made by the raiding officers. In the matter of ownership, the 'authorities have proceeded upon the assumption that it is the' property of the owners of premises upon which it was found. If this assumption proves the correct one, the chief owners are the mayor of the town, the sheriff of the county, a probate judge and two prohibition members of the General Assembly of Alabama, with a large number of private citizens holding a minority interest. These officials and private citizens seem to have formed a pool for the purchase of the stock and agreed among themselves that it would bo retailed throughout the southern portion of Alabama and Georgia by bootleggers and blind tiger operators at a large profit to them

LIQUOR selves. The combine plotted and hoped to clean up from $2,000,000 to $3,000,000 by violating a law that had been supported by most of them through their local representatives in the Legislature. It should be recalled in this connection that both members of the Legislature who have been caught in the Attorney General's raid were warm supporters of Alabama's prohibition law. one of them being a floor leader of the Prohibition forces. Liquor Stored Everywhere. Every vacant business house in the little town was rented, and a small stock of dry goods or groceries installed in the front part of the house in charge of a trusted employe. Liquor was stored in the rear portions of the houses, and in cellars and garrets. It was hidden from view by partitions that seemed to have been constructed to shut off their view of bedrooms; J by false walls of brick and oWier devices. Stables and barns were secured for the same purpose. Houseboats on the river were loaded to the guards with liquor. It was sunk in the river as well and dragged out by raiding officers with boathooks. Ifj there was an old hotel in town thatj did not make money, its revenues were enhanced by storing liquor. Having filled-' every available foot of space above ground, the combine employed men to dig tunnels and make sub-cellars under their buildings. These were filled with liquor. More than $75,000 worth of liquors was -found in one of these subterranean caverns. Mayor and Judge Involved. The mayor of the town owned some vacant storehouses in which quantities of liquor were found and confiscated. A probate judge was caught in ihe same kind of business. Prohibi-j tion legislators also owned houses 1 and controlled others in which much liquor was found. The raiders, with out any previous announcement, paid a visit to the sheriff, who resides ten miles away from Girard. They searched his premises and found enough liquor to astonish them. The sheriff offered a plea that this liquor had been seized by himself and deputies in making raids. When asked to point out when and where he had ever raided a place" on the hunt for contraband liquor, he could not answer to the satisfaction of the law agents. His liquor was hauled away to Girard and deposited to the credit of the Attorney General. Impeachment proceedings against the sheriff have been instituted. Local poliee authorities resented the interference in their business by the , law agents of the Attorney General's office. Frequent dangerous clashes oc curred. The sitmation became so strained between the conflicting civil authorities that Governor Henderson ordered out' state troops, sent them to Girard and proelaimed martial law for the community. It is under martial law today. Girard Center of Ring. That the Girard enterprise is a part of a tremendous lawless system, with its arms extending into more than a dozen rural counties of Alabama, the purpose of the system being to make a profit of millions in the unlawful traffic in liquors, for political prohibitionists and municipal county officials, is not doubted by many men who have informed themselves on the subject. To make this point plainer and more convincing, it may be worth while to revert to the conditions that prevailed in the state immediately prior to the enactment of the state-wide prohibi tion law The question had been submitted to the voters of the state, and by a majority approximately 30,000 they expressed a preference for the local option principle then in force. This referendum was taken as a final decision of the question. Some time after the Legislature had assembled, however, there sprang up a demand for a prohibition bill. Nobody seemed to know from whence it came, but a dozen or more rural legislators were most insistent for the legislation. One of the members from Russell county, the county in which the town of Girard is situated, was loud in suonort of the movement. He espoused the cause early and became one of the leaders of the prohibition forces. This is the same man upon whose premises much liquor was found during the Girard raids. The various communities throughout the state that joined in this movement to overthrow the will of the people, are now under suspicion, some of them under surveillance of the Attornoy General's law agents.
