Transcript, shouldn't the expense OF |
financing Carranza be borne by the
Democratic campaign committee?"
Democrats really haven't any OBJ
lection to big appropriations for army

They expect the Republicans to rustic
the revenue to foot the bills for the
next four years.
Hughes says he would like six
months to investigate the Administra-
ton, but the Administration figures
he's doing very well as it is.
Yes, and the same policies that have
filled Judge Hughes and others with
ga deep sense of shame" have sent
many other Americans to their graves.
The President has changed his mind
about sending more troops to the bor-
der. thus running true to form.
When Tom Taggart talks economy
to them, it is time the Democrats
stopped their extravaganza.
The Hughes smile is beginning to
attract favorable attention.
President Entertains Five Progress
sives.-Headine Others he simply
amuses. !
Democratic papers chide Hughes be-
cause he says he is 100 per cent q
candidate" The Wilson papers nat
nrally prefer a fifty-fifty candidate.
The President says he has no inter-
est in any political party, Except as
an instrument of achievement" If
that's it, then how did he happen to
select such a poor instrument as the
Democratic party?
Carranza isn't candidate for Presf-

Mr.. Hughes speeches are giving
poor satisfaction to the Democratic
press, which proves they are very
good speeches, indeed.

agility i'm changing his mind that must
endear hfm to his discOverer
Mr. Wilson's Administration must
confess itself incompetent in one re-
spect or the other. 1t either has APP
prOpriated for an Unneeded navy or
1t has neglected needed navy. It
can select its faNff to suit itself. In
one respect or the other it must be
wrong.
81 believe in efficiency in politics
inst as much as in anything else"
says Mr.. Hughes. Efficiency is an
