COMMENT
ON HUGHES SPEECH
A Few Praise But Most Find
1t Weak, VaciHating,
Unsatisfactory

Following is symposium of editor
ial comment on the acceptance of Jus.
tice Hughes in New York city last
night.
New York Tribune-one clear note
runs through the whole of Mr.. Hughes
speech, 1t is challenge of incapacity
an Indictment of failure. 1t is rightly
an indictment of Mr.. Wilson scatter
ing point of view. But it would be
idle to pretend that portion of the ad-
dress which deals with the Lusitania
massacre is satisfactory to the Tribune
New York Times-Little that is new
appeared in the speech 1t is to be re-
membered he wishes to make the Mexi-
can question the burning issue.
New York World - Mr.. Hughes
speech of acceptance is public confes-
SION of candidate who is without an
issue and without policy. His poll
ey is to be one of firmness. But what
form is firmness going to take! War?
Intervention
sacramento Union-lt is poor con-
vention speech dealing with grave
problems a.ong narrow partisan lines.
hughes Will loose tens of thousands
OF friends by ais weak and wabbling
words, by his utter apparent lack of
comprehension of the nature of our
problems and their remedies.
Sacramento Star-Hughes address
is the weakest political declaration of
party leader in years. 1T would ap.
pear that his only object was to bring
together the two factions of his par,
ty. In this he will fail because the
real progressive element will be dis.
gusted by his palaver.
st. Louis Globe Democrat - Mr..
hughes made great republican speech
and a great American speech.
st. Louis Republic-Such stuff will
not be taken seriously by the American
the most partisan por-
tion of it.
