"The problems that arc before

America must understand tho

that the way to advance American
business Is to walk backwards and to

But the chief cloud that Is upon
the domestic horizon Is the unsatis-

POLITICAL GOSSIP

Mr. Mccormick follows the same
method in claiming credit for legisla-
ton as he does in his predictions. he
includes several acts OF the Taft ad-
ministration.
The Democratic press is convinced
that 1t Is the duty Of Mr.. Hughes to
say something that will hurt his
chance Of being elected.
President Wilson In his acceptance
speech may reply to Mr.. Hughes
charges, but he will not answer them.
That Is an entirely different matter.

OF course. can be blamed for making

It is reported from Washington that

OF Mr.. Hughes charges That is very
much the easiest way for 1t to answer
them.
President Wilson will not make any
speaking dates, we are told, but only
separate engagements for addresses.

Tammany Leader Charles I. Murphy
announces TINT he will retire after the

Gratis will follow his example.
Governor Hughes announces in one
of his speeches that he is n construc-
ZIONIST. But we are willing to admit
that so far rs Democratic policies are
concerned he is destructionist.
President Wilson will be notified of
the Democratic nomination at Shadow
Lawn. This seems a most appropriate
place for letting him know that he will
shortly have to give up his place In
the sun.
Grover Cleveland was the last Demo-
cratic president. He was also the last
president to issue bonds to secure
money to defray the running expenses
of the government. But Wilson will
tie him in this.

1t was John p. st. John OF Kansas,

said that Americans vote as they cheer.
II so, there is mighty little consolation
for the Democratic party in this cam
paign, for the Democratic admfnistra-
ton In three years has given Us moth
ing to cheer over. On the contrary,
as Mr.. Hughes has said, these last
three years have been years OF humilI-
alton and embarrassment.
