PROGRESSIVES DESERT' HUGHES “New York, Aug. 23—Both in its news columns and editorially the Philadelphia North American, the leading progressive newspaper in the east, recognized Roosevelt organ and up to the present a supporter of Mr. Hughes, in today’s issue® makes -they unqualified statement that the republican candidate Is facing a ‘‘nation wide progressive revolt.” Its dispatch from San Francisco declares that Chester Rowell, progressive leader and member of the republican national campaign committee, has denounced the republican candidate for ‘‘abandoning thie progressives of California for the old guard wolves.” The North American, commenting hp_on Mr. Rowell’s denunciation, says: “It points to an impending progressive war on the candidate which may easily react on the situation in every state in the unipn, especially in the doubtful states.” . ' The article empnaszies the declaration of Mr. Hughes in his San Francisco speech that he came to California as ‘‘spokesman of the national republican party.” : “Mr. Hughes might better have said nothing at all,” continues ‘the dispatech. “Which would have been the wiser course than thus to ignore the plans of the progressives.”’ ' The editorial in the North American upon the progressive situation is headed, ‘“The votes that will decide.” It says in part: “Mr. Hughes’ letter of acceptance left much to be desired. As at present making the campaign ‘not even his most ardent admirers will assert. that up to this time he has convinced the waiting public that he _possesses exeptional strength.” After reviewing the outlook, the editorial adds significantly: “One condition, however indefinite and curious the progressive . strength has not swung entirely over to Hughes, de“spite the confident predictions that all Roosevelt’s whole hearted indorsement would have that result. Neither has the decision of the progressives to abandon the party organization for this year produced that effect.” Continuing, the editorial says: ‘lt ' would be absurd to believe the defection of such men as John M. Parker of Louisiana, Judge Lindsay of Colorado, Francis J. Heney of California, Matthew Hale of Massachusetts, Edwin M. Leo of Indiana, C. A. E. Hopkiss of New Jersey, Judge Norton of Missouri, Bainbridge Colby of New York and Henry M. Wallace.” - The editorial points that the progressive vote which will go to Wilson will not represent merely opposition - to Hughes. : “There are a large number of progressives,”’ it says, ‘“who strongly believe in President Wilson. We know this experience through the protests which have reached us from readers, who are virtually always in accord with us, but who do not follow us in condemning the record of the Wilson administration.” ' . Referring to President Wilson, the editorial continues: ‘Wherever one dips into the progressive vote a strong Wilson sentiment is found. Another consclous fact is that Mr. Wilson is able to do things, while Mr. Hughes can only criticize and promise.” The editorial characterizes the republican party in the following strong language: =

“The republican organization and its works are hateful to the progressives.”’

In the concluding paragraphs of the editorial it is stated: ‘‘Mr. Hughes’ progress thus far is not inspiring to his supporters in California; the effect made by him is positively depressing.”

It is interesting to note that the New York Herald, which is supporting Hughes, in a two column review of the political situation published today, refers to the republican national campaign managers as suffering from “political melanchaly.” ;

““No secret is betrayed by stating that republicans, as a rule, are disappointed thus far in the campaign trip of Mr. Hughes. In all quarters, in fact,” says the Herald, ‘“the word has been passed that Mr. Hughes has not made the profound impression upon the electorate which his historie Youngsiown speech 0. 1903 lo.csbauowed.”’

There is no cause for Democrats and < Progressives—lovers of peace and opg:ixentq of the horrors and crimes of war—to feel other than the greatest confidence in the re-election of President Wilson.

Friends of his Republican opponent have been making vociferous endeavor to ‘impress the voters of the country with a fictiofal strength for. Mr. Hughes’ candidacy. ! _ »

~ President Wilson has the Democrats of the country enthusiastically behind him. : : : '

He has the friends of preparedness and peace. ' He has every Progressive who really holds policies above prejudice and deeds above vague promises. ; ;

He has the women voters of the states where suffrage is an accomplished fact, who hold their country first in their esteem and who are able %o see more in the- support President Wilson has already given suffrage, than in the opportunist espousal of their cause by a candidate who before never has shown by his acts even the most condescending Bympathy. ‘ -

- There are but a meagre few states where Mr. Hughes’ éhampions can give him more than a doubtful chance of securing electoral votes. No issue has been joined by the speeches of the Republican candidate which is of sufficient worth to merit serious*®onsideration. . Behind Mr. Wilson there is a long record of deeds dons -and legislation enacted which puts him far up abreast of the times and popular demands. ) ‘ For President Wilson to be defeated there must develop such & reaction from present sentiment as would be startling indeed. He has the record of achievement. : - He has the shibboleth of peace. ' He ‘has fhe accomplishment of preparedness. He has a Congress which has stood nobly behind his policies and has written laws that the great masses of voters will surely indorse. He has been direct, diligent, assertive and dominant. ' No public man ever cherished loftier ideals or did more to win to them the public approval. ' Beat him? | : . IT CAN'T BE DONE! » : / Beat him, and restore to power in the Government the old order, the Republican reactionaries, the guardians and agents of privilege and prerogative? :

Beat him, and blot from the statute books laws that register a century of progress? o : NO, INDEED! . | : | Beat him, with the harvests ripening into such wealth as the country never knew before? v _ . . Beat him, with the Government’s credit the talk of the world ?- Beat him, with laber emgloyed, wages good and happiness ..° outward semblance -of nation-wide contentment? Beat him, with the vaults of the banks of the country bulging and legislation already enacted which is the guarantee of low interest rates? : : _ Beat him, with his neutrality achievements, which have made us the gne nation secure from the criminal effusion of the red blood of the sons and fathers of the land? : . ° Beat him, when the law is highly respected, when the national honor is respected, when the flag has been made the signal at once of preparedness and peace, and our people home-loving, God-fearing and ready for the higher achievements in the future than were ever chronicleg in the pastg :

TREASONABLE UTTERANCES

Any honest voter will agree that Candidate Hughes has no just fault to find with the government as conducted by President Wilson and a democratic congress. Everybody will agree that the ‘‘pork barrel’” legislation is wrong, a system practiced for many years by the republicans and indulged with the full consent of republicans by the present congress. If Candidate Hughes would confine his unfavorable criticism to our democratic affairs he would be wholly within his rights buthe has not seen fit to do this. ‘As a candidate for president he has attacked the chief executive of .the nation on his foreign policy. To do this at any time savors of treason and in any country but the United States he would be guilty of treason in committing such an act His language is none the less treasonable here. The world is turned red with the horrors of war and Presidens Wilson is bending every effort to keep his country out of the conflict. He is entitled to and should have the hearty support of every citizen of this Republic in what he is doing. But for the lack of any issue in the campaign Mr. Hughes has seen fit to arraign the president on his foreign policy and condemn him when' the republican candidate cannot know the inside facts bearing on our foreign relations. Such an act is treasonable and should be so considered by all who desire peace and by all who believe in our form of government. - - -

The criticism of the Wilson policy with Mexico is particularly pernicious for it conveys a wrong impression to Mexico. The ignorant people south of the border of our country infer from the words of Mr. Hughes that the residents of the United States are cowards and afraid vo fight them. Mr. Hughes also finds fault with the president’s attitude towards Germany, but is careful not to say what he would do. He expects to be elected by the so-called German-Amsrican votes. As Congressman Adair said in his speech at Fort Wayne it is lucky for these same German-Americans that Theodore Roosevelt is not president for they would probably be called on take up arms against their mother country were he in the White House. And it must have bezn the same were Mr. Hughes president for he has declared himself in full sympathy and accord with the fighting man of Oyster Bay. e President Wilson has preserved peace with honor and he should have and does have the sincere support of every loyal citizen, Mr. Hughes idle words to-the contrary notwithstanding.

and mills. Former Senator Beveridge finally got a bill before .congress: and it met defeat. It wasa humantarian measure and when the democrats came into power the demand of the people was met. The country cried out for a non-partisan tariff commission so as to take the tariff out of party politics, but the republican congress, dominated by tariff beneficiaries, refused to enact such a Jaw. It remained for the democrats to give the people what they wanted. There were two progressive measures which the progressive~party contended for and now they are to become laws thanks to a responsive democratiz congress.

If Mr. Hughes is a progressive what is Senator Penrose? =~ What. Senator Smoot? = What " Senator. Gallinger? What Mr. Fairbanks? What Mr. Hemenway? What - Mr. Barnes? ‘What the. Amiable Mr. Taft:. The gullibility of the American voter was long an aphorism. Don’t expec¢t him to fall for the progressiveness of any of the above named patriots, says the Goshen Democrat. He will not. All the gentlemen mentioned along with all the leaders of the republican, party are of the same stripe. G

“Hughes and Intervention’”’ is the rallying cry of the Mexico Americans whose wish it is to capitalize the misfortunes of our neighbors to the south, take over their wasted lands and build to fortune with the labor of the peons and staryelings, says the Goshen Democrat. They want the intervention of property lust and not intervention, which, if it may come, Mr. Wilson would make for Mexico's benefit and rehabitation.

The extreme littleness of some standpat editors is shown in their attempts to belittle the service of President Wilson in his efforts to prevent a great railway strike. These penny ante writers need not fear the political effect the settlement of the wage difficulties will have, for Mr. Hughes stands no more show of election than Jim Watson. :

The Fort Wayne News and other standpat newspopers are spending a lot of ammunition in an effort to head off and minimize the effects of the speech delivered in Fort Wayne by Congressman Adair, democratic candidate for governor of Indiana. Their efforts will prove futile for the reason that Mr. Adair uttered only facts. '

It is announced by Martin H. Luecke, democratic chairman of the Twelfth district, that Senator Kern and Congressman Cline will be among the speakers for Noble county Labor td), Monday, dSepi. 4. Congressinan Ciine expects to reach home Sept. Ist.

From a small, light six, which delivered 42 horsepower, it created at 76-horse-power-motor. And simply by ending vibration.
