Late summer hats hold a Fremont
tion of fall and winter, for they are
of felt and velvet materials, which be-
long to cold weather headWear. Fash
Ion Is done with straw hats and an
ticipates the coming of a new season
In those newly arrived sports hats of
bright, gay-colored felts and in the
picturesque black velvet dress hats
which we have learned to expect in
August, when they are not due until
October. But these are really to be
classed as between-seasOns millinery,
and with the incoming of cold wealth
er their day is done, for they are des-
tined to be replaced by the more for
NAL dress hats of midwinter.
Soft and bright-coIored feIts for
sports and street wear, especially
those made in what are known as
sweater" colors, seem destined for
IOng-lived popularity. To start with,
they have beauty to recommend them,
and then the devotee of outdoor sports

Mr.. Wilson says is no sign of what
he has done, or of what he will do.
The one thing his record shows is that
what he stands for now he is not like
ly to stand for long. I do not care
what his platform or his campaign
declarations may be, because the COM
mon experience of US all has taught
US that to him they are simply mo
Iasses to catch flies"
Hughes, on the other hand, is a man
of his word. His record as Governor
of New York proves that. 1t shows
him to be honest, fearless, and free
from the domination of special inter-
ests and corrupt politicians. So far
as the Conservation policies are con-
cerned, both what he said and what he
did could hardly have been better.
am confident that under him these pol
icies will be safe. He is a strong man
who will dodge no moral issues, and
he will give US an honest and an eff
ficient administration.
AS a Progressive I believe in Ma
tionalism. So does Hughes. [ am GER
tain that under Hughes the progress
sive policies will fare better than IN
der Wilson, and that the safety,
honor, and welfare of the country wilt
be in UNNECESSARILY surer hands.
[ can not vote for Wilson because
can not trust him. He does not do
what he says. Hughes does. There
fore my choice is Hughes, and I shall
work and vote for him.

Philadelphia, Pa, Sept. 7, 1916.
Mr. A L. Fontaine,
Editor, The Daily Reporter,
Grand Rapids, Wis.
Dear Sir;-It is the duty of every
American citizen to make and sup
port openly his choice among the can
didates for the Presidency. That duty
is especially solemn this year because
great events and great decisions are
certain to confront US during the next
Administration. I am writing to give
you my reasons for my own choice.
If you care to lay them before your
readers, please do so, but not before
Monday morning, September II.
| am neither a Democrat nor a Re
publican, but a Progressive. Yet,
there being no Progressive nominee,
unless I choose to support candi-
date who can not be elected, I must
vote for either Wilson or Hughes.
For many months after his inaugu-
ration, I thought we'll of President
Wilson. In many respects | liked
what he said about what he was 60

Hughes Charms Maine

Mr. Hughes has just entered Maine
but already reports from there indi-
cate that he is fascinating his audi
ences. There is no state in which man
Illness, courage and genuine American
ism are more respected, and the cou-
rageous manner in which Mr.. Hughes
has attacked Mr. Wilson's subservi-
ency to political expediency, his be-
trayal of the principle of arbitration,
his feeble we'll wishing" his betrayal
of Americans remote from home and
dependent on their government for
protection has appealed tremendous
ly to the Maine audiences which the
Republican candidate has thus far
addressed. 81 desire the peaceful
settlement of all grievances in this
country, reasonable consideration OF
the necessities of each cause. We
must never permit any Of the pro
cesses of the Government to be sur
rendered to the dictates Of any pow
err" said Mr.. Hughes, addressing an
audience at Portland, and he added,
Il would rather stand on that prin-
ciple and be defeated than yield one
jot or title Of it to get into Office"
Again he has said, at is said that the
judgment Of society has made the de-
mand for an 8-hour day. This was
not an 8-hour day and the judgment
of society had nothing to do with the
proposition laid before Congress and
passed by Congress. The proof of
this found in the bill itself which
proposes an investigation to find out
whether Congress had any business
to do the thing it was asked to Go,
and which it did do"

there; and denounce war against
Mexico while actually engaged in wa :.
With war on every side of US, we
all heard him, in his second annual
message, solennly assure the coun
try that we had not been negligent of
National defense. It was not true
and later on he himself proved that
it was not true by proclaiming alou!
the need for what he had solemnly as
sured US we already had.
For more than a year after the
world-war began, Wilson did not rai@e
a finger to put US in a condition of
defense. Only the proverbial good
luck of America has kept Us from
paying the bitterest price for his I'M
forgivable neglect.
We have all heard him ridicule tn ,
idea Of a greater navy, then declare
for incomparably the greatest navy
in the world, and then go back on
that.
we nave ali neafd MN declare Tor
exempting our coast-wise trade frofl
tolls in the Panama Canal; and have
seen him show our own people and
the English that he did not mean it.
We have seen him elected on plat
form which pledged him to single
term as President, and then become
candidate for another term.
We have all heard him declare for
the Conservation Of our natural re-
sources; and have seen him neglect
that policy, and refuse his help to de-
feat the Shields waterpower bill, the
most dangerous attack on Conserva-
ton since Ballinger's effort to turn
over to the GugGenheims.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1916-09-14

We have all heard him declare for
efficiency in Government, and have
seen him set the pork-barrel first and
throw inefficiency away. have known
official Washington from the inside
for six Administrations In that time
the Government business has never
been so badly done and so extrava-
gantly as it is now done under Will
son.
We have all heard him announce
himself as the champion of Civil
Service reform; and have seen him
tuln the Government Departments
over to the spoilsmen as no other
President has done in twenty years.
We have all heard him declare TO-
pitiless publicity; and have seen him
conduct the most secret administra-
ton of our time.
We have all heard him announce
himself as President of all the people
and have seen him as the most parti-
san President of his generation, flout
and oppose the Progressives, whom
now, because he needs them, he seeks
to conciliate and enlist.
Worst Of all is this: When every
principle of freedom and equality for
which our fathers fought was at
stake in the great war, when our
whole country eagerly awaited the
leadership of the President, Wilson
lodged. He refused to take sides on
the greatest moral issue of our time
He advised our people to be neutral
even in thought" undecided betweeL
