HUGHES POINTS TIE WAY


The speech of the Republican candi-
date for president was keynote
speech indeed. Not one person in the
great audience at the Carnegie hall
meeting was in doubt for one moment
as to just what he meant by every
thing he said
His address was comprehensive Iogi-
cal. clear and all sufficient for the Oc-
CASTOR. There can be no dispute as to
this. Plainly Mr.. Hughes is a man
who knows what he wants when he
wants ii" and it is the opinion of po-
Iitical authorities who heard him and
who have since read his remarks that
he knows also how to get il.
1t was incumbent upon the Republi-
can candidate to confine the scope of
bis remarks to the limitations Of the
occasi on, but his crushing analysis of
the shortcomings Of the present ad-
ministration of the government IS
merely an earnest Of what the tone
and the contents OF his speeches viii
be when he gets on the stump.
At Carnegie hall Mr.. Hughes ad-
verted 10 every general question that
Is apt to be a serious issue I'm the cam
paign and in language that viii be
absolutely clear to every man or wO-
man able to read ne stated his opin-
ions, his convictions and his purposes
On the stump he will argue those
points in detail. As an orator ne is
eloquent. his personality attractive,
and his marshaling of facts so CO
hesive that he holds his ar 1ience to
the end. He makes it easy for them
to follow hira. and bis points are not
lost
There was nothing eQuiF0ca. moth

didate's speech of acceptance. lie
called a spade a spade, and the unant
nous Or4nion of those who heard him
was that he shot to the center and
rang the bell. The Republican cam
paign is now open, and those who Will

cess of the Republican ticket can wish
for no more adequate campaign docu-
ment, no mare satisfactory statement

AN HONEST MAN AND OFFICIAL

In opening his campaign for re-elec
tion at his native home in Sank coun
ty, Governor Philip said:
~ do not want the Office for Iersor.
al use, I came here to render the peo.
pie of the state the service which
! believe they want.
| am asking for a continuance in of
fee in order that | NAV be given an
opportunity to complete that service
by carrying out the reforms that |
have promised to the people.
There is nothing that ] will do offic-
tally that will be of any greater val
ue to me than it is to any other citi-
zen, except to earn reputation that
have been a good servant TO the peo-
pie and good governor.
The above are the words of an hon
est man, an official who has sought
only to carry out the promises he
made for economy in public affairs in
the campaign two years ago Other
candidates for state Office and many
members of the legislature made just
as positive declarations for tax re-
lief and economy, but strange to say,
political factionalism swerved them
from the promise and they fought the
governors honest plans in the legis-
lsture and violated their promises TO
the people. Governor Philip used
his best efforts and influence for pres
ent and future tax reduction. viii
any honest man who has cried out
against excessive taxation in Wiscon-
sin vote against HIM at the September
primary? VIII they support men who
in the legislature fought the COVER
nor and in doing SO violated their
promises for economy in public at
fairs? Not if they have been sincere
in their pleas and desires for relief.

of ammunition for Huerta was
about to enter that port. There
was a natural opposition to this
invasion and a battle occurred
in which nineteen Americans and
over a hundred Mexicans were
killed. This. of course. was war.
Our dead soldiers were praised
for dying like heroes in a war of
service. later. we retired from
Vera Cruz. giving up this noble
warfare. We had not obtained
the salute which was Gamanded.
We had not obtained reparation
for affronts. The ship with am
munition which could not land
at Vera Cruz had soon landed at
another port. and its cargo was
delivered to HueFta without in
reference. Recently the naked
truth was admitted by a cabinet
officer. We are now informed
that I'VE did not go to Vera Cruz
to force Huerta to salute the
flag" We are told that we went
there ''to show Mexico that we
were in earnest in our demand
that Huerta must go" That is,
we seized Vera Cruz to depose
Huerta. The question Of the
salute was a mere pretext.-
