administration had wrought marvels
in constructive Legislation.
Mr.. Hughes had to analyze these
claims. He began with subjects Of
great Importance in the efficiency Of
administration, although not particu-
larly attractive to the popular imag-
nation. He contrasts strikingly with
Mr. Wilson in that he is a master Of
details. Mr.. Wilson has never yet
submitted anything concrete that con-
gress did not reject or greatly modify.
He is a fervent exhorter and delights
in glittering generalities, but he has
never shown a thorough understand
ing of any subject he has discussed.
Mr.. Hughes has pointed out the weak
nesses of the administration both in
principle and in performance. He did
not dwell on alleged legislative

It is announced from democratic
headquarters that William }. Bryan
and President Wilson have buried
their respective hatchets, and that as
evidence of the harmony now prevail
ing in high democratic quarters, Mr..
Bryan will take the stump for the
president.
Presumably. the main service ex-
peeted from Mr.. Bryan will be TO
cxpound the mysteries Of the admin
istration's foreign policies, which were
so admirably directed by Mr.. Bryan
while secretary of state in the inter
ests of observing democrats"
He will, however, probably refrain
from repeating one Of the most elo-
quent and fetching paragraphs which
he introduced into most of his cam
paign speeches of four years ago, and
specifically in an address TO a great
meeting at indianapolis on October
IT, 1912, in which, referring to Mr..
Wilson, Mr.. Bryan said:
1--WE present him, not only qualified
in every way, but we present him
pledged to a single term, that he may
be your president and spend no time
dividing patronage in order to secure
delegates; that he may spend no time
in planning for reelection; that he

Partisan Action Condemned!

more, September %.
How self-contemptuous Mr.. Wilson
must feel, when he remembers that
every member he named for the Fed
eral Reserve Board which should be
non-partisan if any board should be,
is a democrat.
And what must he think Of the Six
ty-fourth congress, which, under his
direct control, enacted all important
laws through secret caucus rule, util-
izing the vicious system Of "a major
ity of the majority" instead Of the
constitutional methods provided by the
fathers?
That same congress created more
Offices, which he has filled with dem
ocrats, than any other in history. II
suspended or violated the civil ser
vice law, with his tacit approval, on
every possible occasion. II loaded the
political pie counter for the benefit Of
deserving democrats"
Nor has it been forgotten that early
in the administration, the diplomatic
service was debauched by the rankest
Of political appointments, most Of the
high places going to those who had
contributed heavily to the campaign
fund while the South American posts
were mostly given to Mr.. Bryan, the
then Secretary of States, TO be filled
from the ranks of his faithful bench
men.

in these remarks mere finding fault"
with the president. The creation Of
thirty-three thousand Offices by his
administration is fact. Some fact

Mr.. Hughes began to develop his
speeches at st. Louis, a few hours
after Mr.. Wilson's speech Of accept
ance. The administration had then
made its casa. Since then there has
been no charge of vagueness against
Hughes speeches. Every new speech
is another revelation Of his firm grasp
of great questions, his sincerity, his
wisdom, his courage and his robust
Americanism. Public interest in
Hughes is growing. Admiration for
him increases, not only because Of
what he is saying, but because Of the

Mr.. Hughes is fulfilling the prom
Use of his speech of acceptance. As
the Globe-Democrat commented at
the time, the only subject he elabor-
ated in that speech was the presi-
dents mishandling of Mexican af-
fairs. But he briefly reviewed num-
erous other questions, on which he is
now expatiating. 1t can now be seen
by everybody that he carefully plan

BROUGHT HOME THE BACON
Lamar Delegation Captures 1917 Con-
vention of the Y. NJ. b. Clubs of
the United States

The delegation composed Of Messrs.
Chas. II. Wooden, II. J. johnson and
Grover Carrico, which the Yambas
sent to the national convention at
jackson, Mississippi, and New Or
leans TO capture the 1917 convention,
proved TO be the real article as "go-
getters" and captured just what they
went after. They were there with the
goods stronger than horseradish, and
reports drifting in gradually from the
southeast indicate that they left be-
hind them a pathway SO strewn with
big talk and hospitality that the low
err Mississippi river has been hickman
ed the "The Trail Of the Triple Bull"
Anyway they put the three first days
Of the convention in to such good eff
feet that when it came time to vote
for the location Of the next conven-
ton there was nothing TO 1t at all,
and Lamar won in a walk. Our dele
gates we're ably assisted by Mr.. Nj
kirk Of the Santa Fe, who represent
ed Pueblo, and that city will join US
in the entertaining Of the convention.
The delegation also found many
friends among the delegates Of last
year who admired the game fight
Mr.. Wooden made single-handed at
that time. The motto which the La
mar Yambas adopted. Don't Weak
en-" captured the fancy Of the dele
gates from the start and became the
motto Of a large bunch Of enthusiasts
tic helpers in few hours. Each Of
the Lamar boys on arriving at Jack
son established himself at once as a
committee Of one to distribute Lamar
enthusiasm and hospitality among the
delegates, and we find that the i'm
preston prevails in the dispatches
sent out from Jackson and New Or
leans to the daily press that the La
mar street cars will take all the Wis
itors out to such suburbs as Denver
and Colorado Springs. The conven-
ton was a live one and as the organ
ization is growing by leaps and bounds
the next annual meeting will be far
larger than either Of the previous
ones, and coming in a year when there
is no presidential election it will at
tract far more attention. It will
bring to Lamar and Pueblo a bunch
Of five hundred leading young bust
ness men, all live wires and men Of
Importance at home, and furnish La
mar with the biggest advertising and
boost it has received for many years.
This city expects to convince the del
egates that numbers amount to moth
ing when it comes to sizing up the
community. They will find a welcome
here that no city Of a million could
beat, and all who come will be enthus-
iastically received and amply cared
for. Watch out for Lamar and the
Yambas in 1917. DON'T WEAKEN"
The convention reelected Mr.. Wood
en- as a vice-president, and both
Messrs. Carrico and Johnson are on
important committees Of the national
body. They arrived in Lamar on No.

platform declaration by which Colonel
Bryan set great store. 1t was, in
fact, his pet plank in the platform
which he had written, not only by rea-
son of the great moral principle in
volved, but for certain practical rea-
sons which readily occur to us, and
which were doubtless appreciated by
the multitude Of Colonel Bryan's adj
mirers.
Probably no plank in the platform
of 1912 did more to secure the election
of Wilson than that, now, alas, not
available in the present emergency
