Under the Wilson administration
and the Democratic tariff law the cost
to the people of the United States for
10 articles of food alone has increased
in the last four years approximately
one seventh. An American family
under the Taft administration that
spent $500 per year for these foods
is now paying for the same articles
under the Wilson administration $342
annually Figuring five persons to a
family this is an increase of $40 for
every man, woman and child in the
United States, or the stupendous to-
Under the Underwood tariff law and
the Wilson administration the high
cost of living has increased by leaps
and bounds. Since June, 1912, up to
June, 1916 according to the latest
available government statistics, there
has been an increase of Ia per cent in
most of the staple foods. In the Bal
timore platform, on which Wilson was
elected president, is the following
plank:
The high cost of living is a serious
problem in every American home.
The Republican party, in its platform,
attempts to escape from responsibility
for present conditions by denying that
they are due to protective tariff. We
take issue with them on this subject,
and charge that excessive prices re-
suit in large measure from the high
tariff laws enacted and maintained by
the Republican party and from such
trusts and commercial conspiracies !
Astered and encouraged by such laws,

Things Hughes Stands For

Here are some of the things Judge
Hughes stands for as gathered from
his speeches:
| want the highest man to have a
chance to go ahead and win a success
that hurts no one, but benefits every
one within the range of his activity.
We propose that the rights of the
American citizen shall be respected
and maintained here and throughout
the world
The surest way to preserve our
peace is to be ready to maintain our
rights. Let us have, as the Republi-
eau platform says, business-like
administration through a business
like budget.
When | speak of conserving human
resources | am looking at the better
ment of human lives.
Child labor must be prohibited.
/ propose that American labor shall
be safeguarded.
No one need look to me for any
private favors at the public expense.
The Emmett index. [volume] (Emmett, Idaho) 1893-1925, 1916-10-12

and we assert that no substantial re-
lief can be secured for the people with
out import duties on the necessaries
of life are materially reduced and
these criminal conspiracies broken up.
A Ia per cent increase in the cost
of the principal foodstuffs is the way
the Democratic party has kept this
pledge to the people.

Is it Wilson or War;"


philadelphia Public Ledger, Ind.)
1t was Wilson, the politician, rath.
er than the historian and chief execu-
tive who spoke at Shadow Lawn tc
the young Democrats a few days ago
Into his speech he introduced one new
and disturbing note when he repeated
the sinister charge that the alterna-
tive confronting the nation was either
his own reelection or war with Mex
leo and our active participation in the
European conflict. This charge to-
tally misrepresents both the actual
situation and the character of the crit
icisms Ubeing directed against the
presidents management of our for
eign relations. 1t is as much as to
say, 81 have kept the nation out of
war; any other course than that which
pursued would have inevitably re-
suited in war; hence my method is
the only one that could have been fol-
lowed" This is something good
deal worse than false logic; it is
false statement of the case
The Republican criticism of Presi-
dent Wilson is not that he has kept
the United States out of war, but
that he has done so by methods which
are humiliating in the extreme and at
a cost of sarcifce of the national hon
or, surrender of it's position as the
defender of it's own rights and the /
rights of neutrals in the face of fla
grant wrongs against which the pres
ident has himself protested--on paper.
1t is wholly gratuitous assumption
that consistent and courageous atti-
tude on the part of the government 4
Of the United States toward Germany
Or Mexico, or any other power, would
have resulted in war On the con-
srary, all the experience of our his
DRY, and especially the example of
President Wilson's Democratic pred
,cessor, Grover Cleveland, are indi-
ations to the contrary 1t was Pres
dent Cleveland who pointed out in
,reat state paper addressed to Great
Britain that
there is no calamity which great
alton can invite which equals that
'hich follows supine submission to
'rong and injustice, and the subse-
uent loss of national self respect and
onor beneath which are shielded a
eople's safety and greatness"
1t is not against peace that the
republicans and Progressives alike
rotest, but against the policy of
peace at any price" 1t is not be-
luse President Wilson and congress
yerted the threatened railway strike,
1T because of the price that was paid, :
I'd, further, because of the deep con- .,
ction that if in this emergency, as =;
others, President Wilson had only :.
assessed the courage and resolution /,
at were displayed by Cleveland in
ore than one grave crisis the desired de
d would have been attained without
e sacrifice Of dignity, the surrender
a great government to the menace
force, the abandonment of the vital
inciple Of arbitration.
Moreover, it is a gross libel upon
vast section of the American people :
the majority in point of numbers if ~
: presidential vote of 1912 is taken
a basis-to assert that they are
ndly bent on war, or that the Re-
blican party is so destitute of
tesmanship that it, too, must fol-

'ud to fight" too irresolute and
lid to make his actions fit his

Here is a bunch of figures from a
Democratic source, the Cincinnati In
quirer, which is the simon pure article
of the United States. 1t took straw
vote in Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana,
and here are some of the results that
it gives after the Investigations On
one day the returns showed that in
Ohio, $50 Democrats had changed to
Hughes, and one Republican had gone
to Wilson The Indiana returns
showed that AZ Democrats had chang
ed to Hughes, and only one Republi-
can had changed to Wilson. In Ohio,
ITO Progressives said they have
gone to Hughes, and II to Wilson. In
Indiana II Progressives had gone to
Hughes and ii to Wilson. But the
most surprising change was in Ken
lucky, where the report showed that
the ratio of the Progressive change
was 60 for Hughes to 81 for Wilson.
What President Cleveland actually
did, on the occasion of two great
emergencies affecting domestic peace
and our international relations forms
fitting answer to the query that is
being put to Mr.. Hughes by his Dem
ocratic opponents, "What would you
have done?" etc The two emergen-
ces in question are an almost perfect
parallel to those which have con- {
fronted President Wilson and they
were handled very differently from
the means adopted by the present in
cumbent of the White House. Mr.. I
Cleveland met the industrial crisis
caused by the Chicago railway strike
and by the Venezuela boundary dis 9
pute with decision and courage, and =
the nation was not only saved from
war and widespread suffering, but
what is equally important, this was p"
lone without the sacrifice of national
honor. The country may be sure that
what President Cleveland did Mr. h
Hughes would also do in like emer- /.
yencies. 1t was that conviction which :,

SEATTLE TED UP BY STORM AND
 SNON|

SEATTLE. Feb 3. - It has been showing steadily in this city for three days, and there seems to be no sign of an early let up in the heavy blanket of snow that is enyelOping everything here to an unheard of de gree. The street cars are not running today, and the snow in the city streets is already eighteen inches deep and growing deeper every hour. No rail road trains are running, and the lines through the mountains are all blocked. In the mountains the snow is now over thirty feet deep. The heavy snow has caused considerable of the light and telephone wires to drag down and traffic in the town streets is fraught with danger. The roofs of many buildings, which were not in good condition, have caved in, but fortunately no injuries have been yet reported from such cause. That ttY railroads are bound to experience considerable trouble from snowslides in the near future is assured. and much trepidation is experienced for fear of an accident similar to the re- cent one which swept two cars into a canyon at Corea, on the Great North ern. The telegraph wires to the east are down, and news from the east is coming in by way of San Francisco.
