Hughes Campaign
Lacks Enthusiasm;
Leaders Worried

they started out four years ago to de-
troy.
This Progressive bareback is one of
the elements in the Republican situa-
tton which has caused uncaSiness if
not actual alarm But there are others
And FAR up toward the head of one list
Is the fact that the American people
arc for peace. Nobody who circulates
among men and women of all classes
and conditions can long remain in
Ignorance OF the circumstances. More
over, Republican leaders have found
out how the man Of the street is think
ing. and have learned at the same time
that said man is pretty certain to
support the presidential candidate who
mas made peace possible for this
country.
me serious part OF all this from a
purely Republican standpoint, is that
IL KNOCKS the props from under that
'partEs assault upon the European and
the Mexican policies of President will
son. TO every charge which Republic
can orators may make against these
policies comes tho immediate and un-
deniablc answer that Woodrow Wilson
has maintained peace with honor.
This is not merely the Democratic
politicians answer II is the answer
or the men and women who are con-
cerned in politics only in so far as
statecraft and administrations affect
their personal welfare
DIFFICULT TO COMBAT
SUCH SENTIMENT AS THIS
republican leaders have undoubted-
iy come to realize the difficulty OF en-
saSing in Il campaign against such a
sentiment as that. They know that
II VIII be useless To debate such alb
stfactions as are involved in the Ger
man correspondence for instance. or
the negotiations with Carranza They
must promise something better than
wilson has given the country. If thew
arc TO make an effective appeal for
hughes, and nothing better has yet
come from the councils of Republi-
canism.
from strictly business standpoint
the situation is not far different. Re-
publican candidates i'm the past have
mad the active support of the great
corpora ttons. and this support is now
heinS played for by Mr.. Hughes But
the reports continue to pour into Wash
inston 10 the effect that the real busi-
ness OF the country has not responded
to Republican propaganda. And the
reason is just This:
American business interests are now
making good money Some OF them
are making big money. The country as
whole is soundly prosperous Every
man engaged in trade knows this.
Every such man. moreover. fears that
any change IN government Will be dis
tnrbinS. Republican President might
not create panic or even overturn
any established order. but il he did
anything at all along legislative lines
ne would necessarily create a disturb
ance. And the, average business man
seems entirely satisfied to let wsll
enough alone.
These arc some OF the facts which
have had an influence upon the Re.
publican campaign. They may not be
determining circumstances In so far as
mo November result Is concerned, but
they have thrown a very positive damp
er upon the preliminary stage OF the
fight .s-....-...-.i3'

gives to the death of the old Emperor
and the accession of the new a peculiar
significance. 1t is not case in which
a racial unit accepts automatically new

Thus today, it was not so much that
one Emperor had died, but that a new
