ANOTHER {. ]. P COMES OUT FOR
 WILSON

Tom D. Molloy, one of Yuma coun-
 tvs rock-ribbed Republicans, has
 jumped the traces of the G. O. P.
 and is now one of the strongest advo-
 cates in the state in support of the re-
 election of President Wilson. MT. Molloy, ever since his advent to Ari-
 zona has been a staunch republican
 and supported his party in Territorial
 and later in State issues, with con-
 stancy and ability second to none.
 In the democratic county of Yuma, where it meant much to be a repub- lican partisan, Molloy was always in the breach for the success of the C.. o. P. standard bearers.
 In an address delivered recently be- SfOre the Woodrow Wilson Woman's Club of Yuma, MT. Molloy acquitted himself as follows:
 '"The good accomplished by Lin coin during trying crisis was never appreciated by all the people, who found some fault in every thing good that he done for the country. So it is with the present administration Faultfinders look for something that they can criticize and always in op- position to what is done by the one great person who is holding office against their wishes. So is it in this era as it was when Lincoln was pres i ident. On only one issue will they agree on and that is the tariff law. which both claim should stand as it
 is at present regardless. of who en- i ters the office. MT. Cleveland was also criticised, particularly during , his second term. Nothing that was accomplished during his regime was of benefit to the country, according ! to these antagonists. Why change for one who lacks the actual experience?
 MT. Wilson has been tried and found i not wanting and MT. Hughes, a man ! who has been tried, but not in the same capacity, has been found want
 inE. MT. Hughes has not to date ex-
 pressed himself on what he would ! have done had he been the chief ex- ecutive of this nation when the great questions confronted the president.
 N nat could he have done, other than ; to drag us into this terrible European conflict and who would be the worst ! sufferers? You ladies here present ana your sisters would be the ones. ! Upon your shoulders would fall the brunt of the sorrow. This European struggle has proven conclusiyely that
 i+ is the women who suffer the bangs Of bunger, of torture, while their be- i loved ones are away to fight for ! their country's sake. Think before YOU cast your vote on the 7th day of { November what the future will bring
 # we put an inexperienced man in : the office of the most treasured posi- ton that this nation possesses. MT. Hughes remains silent on what he
 will do. but we can gather from a
 man of his character, who says, the
 dignity of my position forbids me to i express myself and requires me to remain silent. Such being the case
 te should have sat on the supreme
 bench and not permitted any party to
 conflict politics with that exalted
 rrsition which he held The supreme court which our forefathers gave us i l,v right of the constitution. the court to which we appeal as a last resort,
 when we feel that justice is not being
 meted out to us; in that court, the Hon. MT. Justice Hughes has allow ed politics to intervene. When MT. i Hughes was chief justice of the su- ' preme court, he could not be inter-
 viewed by anyone, regardless of par , ty affiliations; regardless of their social position, with the exception of
 such as MT. Root, the man who spon-
 sors the invisible government. Such
 men could have access to his private i chamber and none others Now he i comes out and throws his gauntlet
 down to solicit the aid of the con- mon people. Can they, in the face i Of his past performances, cast their vote for him? MT. Hughes, natural i ly, is abiding by the platform laid
 down for him by Mir Root and his
 followers. Ladies, if MT. Hughes is
 elected president of the United
 States. it will be calamity It is
 un to you to see that the man who
 belongs there is delegated to that ex-
 alted position, President Wilson,"
