THE HUGHES TOUR
As Seen BY u Political Reporter in
d Review.
New York Tribune)

New York Tribune)
Mr.. Hughes began his trip on August
last He started out declaring him
self Independent of all boss domination
and he ended up that way. In one or
two states, such as California, he fell
into the hands of certain cliques OF
leaders, but in his private conversa-
tons with them he showed no inclina-
ton to be dominated He steered his
own course and paid little attention
tc advice from either old guard or
Progressives, if such advice ran coun-
ter to what he believed was the right
course At times this attitude made
his campaign limp at bit; at times II
helped him with the people.
NCtA outstanding all the reports
which nave been heard TO tile effect
that he was cold and austere, the
Hughes personality was one of his
biggest assets. The people, after look
ing him over, hearing him laugh, and
shaking his hand, came to the conclu-
sion that someone had spread erron-
eous reports about his makeup. There
was evident at times on his part a
certain restraint of manner, but not to
a dangerous degree. His open utter
ances about ending pork-barrel legis-
lation and all abuses of governmental
offices for political purposes made
many feel that perhaps his GOODNESS
had been more pronounced in his deal
ing with political bosses than in any
other way.
Mrs. Hughes also was popular She
appealed to the thousands who saw
her and perhaps had an opportunity tc
speak briefly with her as a sweet
faced, gracious woman, who becoming
more interested in the complicated po-
litics of the country because her hus-
band was making the fight for the
highest office in the land. Thousands
spoke of her in that vein; there was
not a word of criticism heard from the
the Atlantic to the Pacific and back

WHAT MAINE SHOWED
(New Republic.)

Despite Democratic apologetics the
honors of the Maine election clearly
belong to the Republicans. If the way
in which the voters have realigned
themselves in Maine is any indication
of their realignment throughout the
country, MIR. Hughes will be the next
President of the United States. II can,
of course, be argued with great deal
OF force that the realignment in Maine
Is not representative. Mr.. Wilson may
prove to be on election day surpris-
ingly strong in many of the former Re-
publican strongholds in the Ohio and
Mississippi Valleys. The victory of the
Republicans in Maine is not decisive
enough to do more than establish 4
slight presumption in their favor. but
1t does make an overwhelming victory
for Wilson improbable, and IT insures
an extremely close and doubtful con-
test. In Maine, at least, the Progress
sives have returned to the Republican
ranks.

Mr.. Hughes Diplematic-ln his cam
paign speeches Gov. Hughes has dwelt
with emphasis upon the prospect of
the greatest commercial rivalry the
world has ever known, following the
end of the war. He has pointed out
that the war has served to develop a
degree of industrial organization and
efficiency hereto unknown among Eu-
ropean nations He has portrayed
conditions when the probably 100000
900 men now either actually engaged
in lighting or devoting their entire en-
ergies to producing munitions for the
armies shall return to their industrial
pursuits. It is a keen perception of
these conditions and the imperative
necessity for finding employment for
these great armies after the war which
has prompted the diplomatic negotia-
tons looking to the preemption of the
worlds trade by the allied powers, in
order that peace may not be accom-
panied by an era of unemployment al
most as disastrous as the war itself,
in order that foreign markets for the
trade of belligerents may be instantly
commanded and that, without undue
delay, the gold which has been sent
abroad 20 pay for ammunition and
military supplies may be regained

Executive. to represent the interests OF
this country in the diplomatic nego-
tiations which will attend the abro-

Decreased Trade With Chlna-That
American interests in China have suf-
fered under the present administration
and must do so still more II there
is not n radical change has been point
ed out frequently in this correspond
enoe. Statistics compiled on this Inn
portant subject show that for some
time the trade of the United States
with China has steadily decreased,
while that of Great Britain, japan and
India has steadily and rapidly in
creased. China's foreign trade has in
creased more than 25 per cent. during
the last decade. Notwithstanding that
fact, however, the share Of this coun-
try has steadily diminished. In the
estimation of some of the ablest Amer
lean financiers, the tremendous gold
surplus, of the United States should
be rapidly converted into loans to
those foreign nations which offer espe-
cial opportunities for the development
of the trade of the United States, such
loans to be attended by conditions en-
forcible by this government and de-
vised to insure the consumption of
American goods by the borrowers. In
a word, there is in this day an impera-
tive need of farseeing craftsmanship, a
craftsmanship dictated by broad inter-
ests, sound common sense and rea-
sonable amount of self protection,
rather than by altruistic theories Of
measures designed to render vague
