THE OTHER THING.

Hr. Charles Hughes, candidate for
President. condemns everything Presi
dent Wilson has done, He doesn't say
what he would have done. but II Ia fair
10 presume Mr. Hughes would have
performed altogether differently. he
would have done the other thing IN
ali these matters Lots see What the
other thing IL in Zach case.
In the Mexican troubles President
Wilson refused TO recognize HuertA a.
the head OF tho republic, because he at
tanned his position by sGasSinAtinE
Prehident Madero. his friend and bene-
factor. The other thing. Hughes pol
ley. would have recognized the assassin
as the proper man to rule Mexico.
Later on Wilson used every lsElu-
mate means 20 keep out OF war with
Mexico. War II the other thinE--hr.
Hughes only alternative.
BY nrm diplomatic methods Wilson
forced Germany and England and 9TH
er countries 20 resp CT the rights OF
our citizens and our commerce on the
seas. No moro vessels are being tor
pedoed with Americans aboard. Tho
other thing would be war with these
countries. or helpless submission TO
their ravages.
The Federal Reserve Banking law.
which has wiped out panics and Civ
en- this country most OF is present
prosperity, was one OF Wilson's frrt
laws The other thing was To leave
the countrys financial control In the
hands Of Wall street. subject 10 the
manipulation OF the few men controll-
ing that great center; TO leave every
bank standing alone; with no place TO
turn for relief for itself and customers
in times OF financial stress, n most per-
nicious and perverse system: Hughes
condemns what Wilson has accom-
plished, and OF course he would have
done the other thing.
Hughes would have done tho other
thing In the recent railroad strike;
which can only mean that he would
have permitted every industry and ev-
cry avenue OF business To he closed.
and the cities to suffer starvation
The law TO re-establsh American
shipping on the seas falls under Hughes
condemnation. The other thing would
be to leaye the United States without
merchant vesSels, and entirely depend
eflt upon lilt SHIPS tll UAilfI countries
The law prohibiting the slavlsh tasks
~ labor upon children was urged by
Wilson. The other thing would have
left them tGiling to premature graves
In ignorance ana helplessncss4
The Federal Trades Commission TO
help business is proving It's great worth.
The other thing would have left this |
lndone.
The tariff taken out Of politics and |
placed in the hands Of non partisan |
with power TO regulate ~
10 the best advantage for our couutry |
ind our revenues. The other thing was |
10 leave II strictly a political conten-
ion and the servant OF the rich manu- |
'acturer.
The law to avert disastrous strike |
md try out the eight-ho plan under |
OF a government commits
ZION, which will report back to Con ,
,ress next winter. was a wise and fair
ct-fair to the public. the laboring men
md the public. Hughes would have
lone the other thing--let the strike
ome with all its losses and bloodshed /
md general disturbance, and further
trife between labor and capital.
The income Tux. requiring those earn
ng more than living to bear an ad-
itional percentage Of the burdens OF
he government, is fair law and not
hardship on any one. Mr.. Hughes
,ould have done the other thing he
yould have left this Off.
Those who want all these Important
Kings reversed should vote for Hughes
