REPueL,cAW EVASION

Norman E. Mack is perfectly
justified in calling upon Mr..
Hughes and his friends to tell
what they think .he foreign policy
of this country ought to have beea
during the past two years, and
what it will be during the next
four if Mr.. Hughes should be
elected. Mr.. Mack says: The one
great question which rival presi-
Dental candidates must answer is.
What would you do differently?
How would you have run things
better than President Wilson
has?"
That question will be heard Il
great many times before Noveul-
ber. Mr.. Hughes has offered no
answer /" it. and Mr.. Root and
Senator Harding have offered no
answer To it. and when The New
York sun, in Il spirit of hostility
to the President, sent a man 10
Oyster Bay to put this question to
Mr.. Roosevelt he said he declined
1T" answer hypothetical ques-
tions"
This is no hypothetical qucs-
ton. The men who denOunce MI.
Wilson for mismanaging our for
eign affairs should be able TO- tell
how they ought to have been man.
aged. They do not dare answer the
question because they know Mr..
Wilson has done all that could be
done without two wars, and the
country would rather not have
even one war.
If the Republican platform de-
clared in favor of universal
prosperity, and said nothing about
! the means whereby prosperity is
to- be attained. every one would
recognize the disputable evasion.
But at this point the Republicans
are not evasive. They think high
er duties would increase prosper
ity, and they say so. We know ex-
actly what they mean when they
denounce the Underwood tariff.
They mean that they desire the
Payne-Aldrich, or the Dingley or
the Mckinley tariff.
But when they denounce the
President for his management of
our foreign affairs, what do they
mean? They will not tell us. They
dare not tell us, because they are
either practicing a humbug on
the country, or they would have
the country go to war with Ger
many and Mexico. They do not
dare confess either. If 'hey should
advocate war they know they
would not have a ghost of a
chance in the election. If they
should admit that they were mere
ly talking political clap-trap they
would he equally hopeless. Their
silver-tongued orator. who has
been Ambassador to Great Britain
Joseph II. Choatc. has admitted in
a speech that President Wilson
had done everything that could be
done with the English language,
hut he said that the English Ian
guage was not the most potent
weapon in international contro-
versies. Very we'll, what is the
weapon Mr.. Choate had in his
mind? Tho navy?
Before November the country
will recognize that if anything
more is to be done than Mr.. Will
SON has done it can only be war
with Germany and Mexico. And

WILSON TO win IF PRooREssI
Bag HAS Not Boon Sewn Up and
Cat Still May Jump Says
Gardner

What is to become of the pro-
grassive party's vote?
This is the most important
question in the political situa-
tiOn.
Will it go to Hughes?
Will it go to Wilson?
Will it stay home?
Will it divide up? And in what
proportions?
How much of it can Roosevelt
deliver?
Will he try hard to deliver it?
Beginning at the end, let me
predict that Roosevelt will try to
deliver the progressive vote 10
Hughes. In my talks with the
colonel before the convention
anyways found him adamant on the
necessity for defeating Wilson.
=. r. will Back Hughes
Before the conventions l knew
that if Hughes was nominated
Roosevelt would support him
this conditioned on Hughes decla-
ration on acceptance Delng SatlS :
factory.
Others knew how Roosevelt felt,
and it was the carrying of this in
formation to the republican con-
vention bosses that made them dis
regard the threat of Roosevelt as
competing candidate. The men
who did the carrying were trusted
friends of Roosevelt. Their
names are no secret.
Equally reliable information
came to the republican bosses that
Hughes would accept the nomina.-
ton and would have his telegram
of acceptance and his resignation
from the supreme court, ready to
transmit at once to the cOnven-

Drift Back to Party

What will be the consequence?
Part of the answer is as follows
Eight of ten progressives were
formerly republicans and when
their own party has collapsed,
their drift will be back to tina:
party.
There are two of the ten-and
maybe more-WhO will be ire
concilable. Their progressive
ism means so much to them they
never again can associate them :
selves with the forces of reaction.
They will become democrats or
socialists, or they will not vote at
all.
Will this insure Hughes cleo
ton?
Not necessarily.
Remember how the votes fell
four years ago. Wilson, 5000, 600 F;
Roosevelt, 100000; Taft, 5000.
600. These were the round numb
ers.
The total of the Taft and Roosc
welt vote would be 100000.
just million more than enough
to defeat Wilson.
How defeat Wilson?
What more simple?
Wipe out the progressive party
and poll all the progressive and
republican votes for the oppoSi-
tiOn candidate.
