Though Minnesota is normally a

to Hughes :. at the time he passed

proved a. disappointment. AT the time
of his nomination. Hughes was in
high favor with Minnesota Republi-
cans. and was favorably regarded by
the Progyessives But when. in start
ing his first trip through the west, he
assaiied President Wilson, and paid,
as the people thought, too much at
tention to little things, Hughes stock
went down. and enthusiasm died out.
In Other, words the Hughes swing
around the circle from coast to coast
was a wet blanket and only needed
Fairbanks to follow up and freeze.
His speeches put Borah and other
competent speakers out of anything

pointing incompetent men to office

AN UNTRUTHFUL ATTACK

A campaign tract has been issued in
Idaho attacking Governor Alexander
for his veto of the so-called Work
ingman's Compensation Act passed
by the last Legislature This is a
vicious attempt TO mislead the voters.
The bill passed by the Legislature
was one of those cunningly drawn
measures, which apparently is drawn
in the interest of labor. but in reality
is drawn by corporation attorneys
for the purpose of humbugging the
people.
Governor Alexander knew that
some of the States had good laws up
on this subject and that other States
had bogus laws dealing with the mat
ter. So he took the matter up with
the labor leaders of Idaho, studied the
question thoroughly and vetoed the
bill because it ought to have been We
toed. and because the labor leaders
wanted it vetoed.
If you receive one of these tracts
do not be misled, but take it as adj
ditional evidence why you should
vote for the reelection of Governor
Alexander and thus prevent the cor
porations from enacting bogus COM
pensation law.

FAvoRs EIGHT-HoUR Law,

Sturgeon Bay Wis-"Eight hours
is all the service than one can rem
der safely" said United States Sena-
tor LaFollette, in discussing the rail-
road eight-hour law, passed by con-
gress recently.
more than eight hours is exacted
at peril to the public. Congress
was confronted not with theory but
with condition. The employees had
demended the eight-hour day. The
railroads had violated the l6-hour law
and since the courts did not enforce
the law. the employees demanded over
time as additional means to enforce it.
The railroads refused the demands
The employees then said they would
quit work. When you refuse tp let
man quit work that moment you
make him a slave"

cARRANzA TO STOP INTRIGUE

Mexico City.-General Caranza has
issued decree limiting the term of
a president of the republic to four
years. The decree provides that if a
president dies the man who fills out
his term shall not be eligible for
election for another term until per-
iod of four years has elapsed.
The man to fill out the term Of a
president who dies or leaves office
is chosen by a two-thirds vote of con-
gress. if that legislative body is in
session. If not. permanent COM
mission shall designate the man until
congress convenes.
The reason given by General Car
rama for the decree, which in effect
abolishes the vice-presidency by plac-
ing the selection of a successor to
the president in the event of death or
absence. in the hands of congress
is to obviate intrigue and discord He
says that the former method of sue
cession has been the cause of treason
and cites the assination of President
Madero as an example.
The decree issued by General Car
rama provides for the complete re-
establishment of tribunals of justice
throughout the republic The govern
ors of each state are ordered to carry
out the laws of each state according
to the constitution and to appoint
magistrates and judges for the regu.
lar term. The governor will be I'm.
able to remove the appointees, except
as provided for by the laws of the
state. All the courts must be in OPP.

HUGHES TRICKY ARGUMENT


The criticism which Candidate
Hughes feels called upon to make of
the Adamson bill is hypocritical and
tricky in the extreme. He asserts 1t
is not an eight-hour bill at all, but is
a wage-raising one-that it provides
ten hours pay for eight hours work.
The basic principle of the act is the
making of the eight-hour period the
standard for a days work and pay. 1t
is true that overtime is not penalized,
but the rate OF pay is the same TOR
the extra two hours as for the eight.
The railroads can have their trainmen
work ten hours day, if they so de-
sire, but the pay will be fixed on the
eight hour basis The result will be
that the roads will endeavor to make
the trains run as long in mileage un-
der the eight hour plan as they did
under the ten hour system. This is
one of the contentious of the men
that two hours day could be cut
from the running time of the freight
trains and as much mileage made, and
the additional expense would be prac-
tically nothing
While the roads are adjusting them
selves to the new condition the train
men may be worked ten hours a day,
but it is inevitable that the time must
quickly arrive. when the crews will
only be run eight hours a day, for the
roads can be operated at much less
expense, in that manner, when the
new schedules have been worked out.
Candidate Hughes must know this to
be the case, so his alleged argument
has not leg to stand upon.
