.OL. ROOSEVELT APPEALS
FOR THE ELECTION OF
MR.. HUGHES.

| appeal to my fellow citizens
that they shall elect Mr.. Hughes
and repudiate Mr.. Wilson be-
cause only by so doing can they
save America from that faint Of
gross selfishness and cowardice
which we owe to Mr.. Wilson's
substitution of adroit elocution
for straightforward action. The
permanent interests Of the Amer
lean people lie, not in ease and
comfort for the moment, no mat
ter how obtained, as Mr.. Wilson
would teach US; but In resolute
championship Of the ideals Of
national and international dem
ocratic duty, and in prepared
ness to make this championship
effective by our strength. Presi-
dent Wilson embodies in his per-
son that most dangerous doc
trine which teaches our people
that when fronted with really
formidable responsibilities we
can shirk trouble and labor and
risk, and avoid duty by the sim
pie process of drugging our
souls with the narcotic Of mean
ingless phrasemongering. Mr..
Hughes, to the exact contrary,
embodies the ideal Of service
rendered through conscientious
effort in the face Of danger and
difficulty. Mr.. Wilson turns his
words into deeds only II this
can be achieved by adroit polit-
ical maneuVerins, by bartering a
debauched civil service for coh-
gressional votes on behalf Of
some measure which he had
solemnIy promised to oppose.
Our own self-respeet demands
that we support the man Of
deeds done In the open against
the man Of furtive and shifting
political maneuvers; the man Of
service against the man who
whenever opposed by a danger
Gus foe always takes refuge In
empty elocutlon. - From the
Speech Of Col. Roosevelt at Bat.

Of Mr.. Hughes.
