HUGHES HEDGES
IN HIS SPEECHES
Is Silent On the Subject
Of Germany.
COL. ROOSEVELT IS DELEGATED
To Speak Hughes Estimated
Sentiments-What Teddy
Would Have Done.
ROUGH RIDER WAS PREFERRED
(By Savoyard }

! Washington, Sept. 6.-TheTe is
nothing more certain than if Candi-
date Hughes had made that swing
around the circle last May he would
not be the Republican candidate for
President in August. The national
convention would not have touched
him with the tongs. Indeed, some
good Republicans are beginning to
suspect that Hughes and Fairbanks
make a kankaroo ticket. it's strength
in its tail, and they have some faint
hopes that the candidate for Vice
President may be able to put little
pep" in things.
Why is Hughes so silent on the
subject of Germany? Is he afraid?
1t is given out that Col. Roosevelt
paign. The Colonel is anti-German
from skin to core, and from core to
skin He denounces Wilson for not
protecting Belgium from the German
invasion. He thinks Wilson a weak
ling because he settled the Lusitania
matter with words rather than with
swords. So RGoseNelt is to swing
around the circle in New England,
where sympathy with the Allies is
more pronounced than in any other
section of the country. By the way,
Hughes did not make Milwaukee a
port of call in his Swing" THAI
was not an accident.
A paper containing precisely what
Theodore Roosevelt thinks of the
Hughes speeches would be hot stuff
at this particular time.
On the other hand, the Hon. Rich
ard Bartholdt, of Missouri. is for
Hughes on grounds the very oppo-
site to those asserted by Col Roose-
welt as actuating him in the cam
paign. Mr.. Bartholdt thinks that
President Wilson should have bro
ken the blockade established by
England in the North Sea. some
thing that would inevitably have led
to war against the Entente Allies
and made the United States an ally
of Germany. He continues:
ut was the uncertain, webbing
policy of the Democratic administra-
tion that was the cause of much of
the disaster in Europe
Which is to say, that Wilson
should have established an embargo
on the shipment Of arms and MUM
lions, for in his opinion the war
would have been over but for the
supplies furnished the Allies, and
thus the disaster would have been
halted.
And though Mr.. Hughes is en-
tremely loquacious when discussing
Mexico, he is not at all clear. When
making a speech in Montana, one OF
his audience, referring to the raid
on that town on the border, asked
How about Columbus?"
To which Mr.. Hughes answered:
Sir, | would not have had any
trouble at Columbus, because if we
had taken the correct line of action
We would never have had clash of
arms with Mexico, and there would
have been a stable government in
Mexico. But if ever We are called

PROGRESS MADE

Working Hours Reduced
and Wages Increased.
CAUSE OF HUMANITY HELPED

Washington. Sept. Samuel
Gompers, President of the American
Federation of Labor, made public
here statement on "Labor's
Achievements and Issues" for 1916,
in which he characterized the last
year as a remarkable one in the
progress of the labor movement, es-
pecially in the shortening of the
working day and in general labor
legislation.
The statement, in part, is as fol-
lows
Labor Day 1916 brings to the
workers of America the. right to
cheer and confidence in the trade
union movement. There have been
tests and crises that have proved its
fundamental principles; there have
been opportunities that have tested
its practical efficiency. Through
them all the trade union movement
has made sure progress and gains in
confident vision for the future.
Every national and international,
every local union affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor has
made definite progress in securing
for its members greater advantages
In those things which are fundamen-
tai of betterment in all relations of
life. In some organizations the sue
cess has been phenomenal.
Taking the labor movement as a
whole there has been greater prog
ress in securing the eight-hour day
or the shorter work day than in any
other similar period of time. The
meaning of these victories can be
interpreted only in the light of full
understanding of the meaning of the
eight-hour day. The shorter work
day is something more than an eco
nomic demand. 1t is a demand for
opportunity for rest, recuperation
and development. things which make
life more than mechanical drudg-
cry.

potent relation to the social side of
life.
Shortening the period of work
lengthens the period of development
for all other activities belonging
to the normal individual. In

the means for taking advantage of

ton of the county court last week on
the purchase Of the toll roads of the
county, makes almost certain the
routing of the Jackson Highway
through here and Mt. Pleasant in
the opinion of the boosters of that
road.
There seems to be little prospect of
the selection of the Giles county
route since the voters of that county
by large majority refused to issue
bonds to buy the pixies and construct
roads. There is really only one OBJ
stacle to the route through Maury
county and that is the toll roads in
Williamson county. The impression
is growing that out of the present
agitation will come the purchase of
the pixies in this county. But in Will
hanson county very little has so far
been done toward acquiring the pixies
and the road positively will not be
routed over toll highways.
The stretch through the counties of
Maury and Lawrence will be one of
the best on the entire highway. Work
will begin about June / on the road
