Political lettings

Mr.. Mccormick follows the sams
method in claiming credit for legfsla-
ton he does in his predictions. He
includes several acts Of the Taft Ad-
lninistratiom mt, : &
The Democratic press ii; convinced.
that it is the duty Of Mr.. Hughes to
SAY something that will hurt his
chance of being elected.
President Wilson in his acceptance
speech may reply to MI. Hughes
charges, but he will not answer them.
That is an entirely different matter.
It is reported from Washington that
the Administration will ignore most
OF MIR. Hughes charges. That is very
much the easiest way for 1t to- answer
them.
Governor Hughes announces In one
Of his sreeches that he is a construc.
ZIONIST. But we are willing to admit
that so far IS Democratic policies are
concerned he is a destructionist.
Tammany leader Charles f. Murphy
announces that he will retire after
the campaign. 1t is believed that many
other more or less distinguished Demo-
Gratis will follow his example.
Grover Cleveland was the Last Dem
ocratic President. He was also the
last President to issue bonds to secure
money to defray the running expenses
Of the government. But Wilson will
tie him in this.
President Wilson will be notified Of
the Democratic nomination at Shadow
Lawn. This seems a most appropriate
place for letting him know that he will
shortly have to give up his place in
the sun.

Bryan says Mr.. Hughes talks aren't

Hughes says the country can't be
saved by letting it drift. That's where
he and w. Wilson differ.
Washington reports that NEW apol-
ogy has been sent to First Chief Car
rama. Looks like a habit.
Mr.. Bryan is mistaken when he says
Hughes is "%vftriolic." The candidate
is merely applying the acid test.
