If this was and is your policy. why did
YOU pledge your support to hlr. Hughes be-
fore he had supplied any evidence that in
tho present crisis he intends to follow a
course one whit moro honorable or patriotic
than that Of Mr. Wilson? Even though Mr..
Hughes may be- as you stated IN an earlier
editorial a wiser man than Mr.. Wilson, 1t
must be borne in mind that Mr.. Wilson has
lad four years Of experience TO weigh against
the no sihlyl better judgment Of Mr. Hughes.
