Hughes in Seattle
c EATTLE will extend a cordial welcom

G EATTLE will extend cordial welcome
- to Charles E. Hughes, republican pres-
dental candidate, who arrives with Mrs.
Hughes here tonight.
AS presidential possibility, Hughes is
entitled to representative hearing.
Arrangements have been made to accom-
modate the largest political crowd assembled
in many years. Not since the visit of Col.
Roosevelt, four years ago, has a presidential
candidate of one of the big parties been here.
Hughes will draw a great crowd, and it is
well that he should, for Seattle is entitled to
hear in specific terms what future presi-
dent, possibly may have to say.
1t is to be hoped that the Seattle audience
will be fortunate enough to hear Hughes dis
cuss the political issues specifically and con-
cretely. Platitudes are altogether too COM
mon and Candidate Hughes is too big a man
to rely on them, let us hope.
Should Hughes speak concretely, should
he tell his Seattle audience what constructive
administration and legislation he proposes,
what definite acts and policies he would
adopt and follow, then indeed, his address
will be historically worth while.
Criticism of President Wilson's policies
should logically be followed by a definite
statement of what Candidate Hughes would
himself have done under the same circum-
stances. Such a statement from Mr.. Hughes
would be genuinely a treat for the intelli-
sence that usually CONSTITUTES a Seattle
audience.
Seattle, forward looking, keen for the
nations good, patriotic, intelligent, is most
anxious to hear Charles E. Hughes and to
welcome him.
