Hughes Criticism o. Foreign Policy
Approved In West.
Portland (ore1 TeleKraml


The Republican party has selected
standard bearer whose utterances
from day to day justify the people
who chose him. Not 6nly does he
bring before the country the short
cominSs of the Administration that
owes Its existence to divided Re-
publicanism, but his criticism Is every
where constructive.
He tells what must be done and win
be done by the party he represents to
prevent wastefulness and extravaganza
In the governmental expenditures and
to put stop to the vacillating policy
that has caused other nations to be-
neve that the United States has no in
tention OF backing up Its demands
made in the interests Of justice and
humanity.
Most Vulnerable OF all points in the
Democratic armor is Its foreign policy.
Primarily this Is because OF the spells
system by which men trained In the
consular and diplomatic service
through long years, have been dlsplac-
ed to make room for politicians and
friends Of politicians, whose sole claim
to preferment was their services to the
Democratic party.
IF 1 am elected president of the
United States said Mr.. Hughes last
night, Il propose that every man 1
put In charge Of On important depart
ment shall be q man eminently At to
discharge the duties Of that depart
ment."
The denuding Of the diplomatic serv-
ice Of men OF experience in order to
supply political Jobs. as has been done
by Mr.. Wilson, or with his consent,
Mr.. Hughes denounces as "a capital
Demonstrating in the good name
the United States and damaging fits
honor" Nobody" he adds, has a
right to pay political debts with the
good name and honor of the United
States"
Which is clear proof that Mr..
Hughes has not been unmlndful OF the
high, principles of government which
must be maintained in order that this
republic shall maintain its place as q
shining example TO all nations.
