FLANK ATTACK ON
HUGHES PROPOSED
politics Should Stop at tIe Waters
Edge to Be Slogan of the
State Department.

John Callan OLaughlin in a Wash
ington dispatch to the Chicago Herald
| says;
( a new attack in flank is to be made
by the administration upon Charles E
Hughes.
President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing have determined to adopt as
the democratic slogan: Politics
should stop at the waters edge" In
accordance with this decision, neither
Mr.. Lansing nor any of his aids will
take the stump during the campaign.
They have the view, and Will insist.
that it is the duty of all citizens in
times of great world stress to sink
partisanship and uphold the hands Of
the officials who are trying to solve
difficult international questions in the
interest Of the people as a whole.
1t is to be expected the president
will respond to the criticisms made by
Mr.. Hughes and that he will defend
his Mexican policy and his European
policy and recite the achievements of
his diplomacy. But he will not, ac-
cording to reliable information OBJ
tanned, reveal anything that may be
damaging to the cOuntry's plan in the
future.
The negotiations with foreign gov
ernments viii take their ORDERLY
course. The administration fears thew
may be embarrassed by what Mr.
Hughes is saying; that questions an
preaching settlement may remain IN
disposed OF because of the expectation
OF foreign governments that Mr.. Will
son may be defeated and that other
terms, perhaps more advantageous to
those governments, viii be obtained
through delay. But the reconnaissance
Tor such delay viii be laid at the
doors Of the republican candidate and
the administration viii make it plain
that It must not be attributed by the
people 10 the presidents procedure.
II secretary Lansing were to take /
the stump it is pointed out that the
whole delicate fabric of international /
would have to be exposed. /
Reasons for this or that step would be !
demanded by the opposition, and the |
secretary would be forced to reply.
Frequently the president has acted |
in a certain way because of confden
tlai information conveyed to him by a
foreign government. The revelation
or the action Of that government
would not only arouse it to anger, but
would embarrass it with other gov
srnments
Take, for instance, one matter
which leaked 10 the public, that of the
japanese demands a year ago on

handed that the Picking authorities

told them he knew his true condition,
he had diagnosed his own case and he
wanted an autopsy held to prove he

an affection of the throat which later
had extended to the heart
