Hughes has failed TO arouse anybodys

Hughes Has Stumped the
Country and the Country
Is Still For Wilson.

This column has already admitted the
qualifications of Charles L. Hughes 10
serve his country in the presidency
II has expressed the opinion that his
party could not have chosen a better
man in Chicago to lead it in the present
campaign.
But Hughes has nearly completed,
now, stumping tour on which, we were
given to understand, he would set forth
TO the people the reasons why they
should make change in presidents and
place him in that office.
At this writing he has failed utterly
TO impress anybody.
What we have heard from him
amounts to this and no more:
If he had BEEN president he would
have done differently than Wilson has
done.
He hasn't said word as yet about
what he would do differently if ELECT
ED president.
He hasn't constructive policy that
anybody has heard of.
Hughes impresses Us as being on a
fishing trip, changing bait almost in
every speech and having failed as yet to
get bite.
The fact is, Hughes is up against the
full dinner pail.
No matter what the reasons are for
that full dinner pail, it is FULL and
political history teaches it is a pretty
tough thing to buck against.
The further fact is, the country is at
peace.
And fact further than that is, THE
COUNTRY Is BOUND AND DETER
MINED 1T Is GOING TO REMAIN AT
PEACE.
The issue of Americanism is a mere
matter of brands and the evidence pretty
much on all sides is that the people are
satisfied with the brand in the White
House at the present time.
They regard the war in Europe as a
better war TO keep out Of than 10 get
into.
Hughes can go back Of the present
and speculate for the people on what the
effect of tariff revised downward would
have been, but the fact that the country
Is the most prosperous in its history and
the fact that Wilson HAS KEPT OUT
OF WAR CANNOT BE NET BY SPEC
ULATION, NOR CAN THESE FACTS
BE ARGUED AWAY OR CHANGED
IN THE SLIGHTEST BY ANY MAN
ON THE STUMP.
