HUGHES LABOR RECORD.

When Mr.. Gompers, remembering
only that he is Democrat and for
getting that he is leader of organ
lied labor, ventured to assert that
Mr.. Hughes is unfriendly to labor be-
cause he cOncurred in the unanimous
decision in the Danbury hatters' case,
he ventured on very thin ice. The
Chicago Tribune promptly reminds
him that an honest Judge must apply
the law as he thinks 1t Is, not as
he thinks it ought to be; and asks
him to tell those who look to him
for political advice something about
the record Of Mr.. Hughes as Gov
ernor. Read what the Legislative
Labor News, the official organ Of the
New York Federation of Labor said
editorially when Mr.. Hughes left the
Governors chair at Albany for his
place on He supreme court. Here it
is:
"Now that Gov. Hughes has retired
from politics and ascended to a place
on the highest judicial tribunal in the
world, the fact can be acknowledged
without hurting anybody's political
corns that he was the greatest friend
OF labor laws that ever occupied the
Governors chair at Albany. During
his two terms he has signed f1fty-six
labor laws, including among them the
best labor laws ever enacted in this
or any state.
"He also urged the enactment of
labor laws in his messages to the
Legislature, even going so far as to
place the demand for labor law in
one of his messages to an extra ses-
sion Of the Legislature.
"Only 1852 labor laws have been
enacted in this state since its erec-
ton in 1777--in 1873 years. One-third
of these, exceeding in quality all Of
the others, have been enacted and
signed during Gov. Hughes term Of
three years and nine months"
Let organized labor take to heart
what the Chicago Tribune says on
this point: "Mr. Hughes is no DEM
agogue and no visionary. He is
man of courage and conscience, and
if labor cannot confide its cause to
his rock-bottom Americanism there is
something wrong with it's cause

UNITED STATES HONOR.
Hughes Criticism Of Foreign Policy
Approved In West.
portland, Ore, Telegram.)

portland, Ore, Telegram.)
The Republican party has selected
standard-bearer whose utterances
from day to day justify the people
who chose him. Not only does he
bring before the country the short
comings of the Administration that
owes its existence to a divided Re-
publicausm, but his criticism Is every
where constructive.
He tells what must be done and
will be done by the party he repre-
sentS to prevent waStefulnesS and
extravaganza in the governmental
expenditures and to put stop to the
vacillating policy that has caused
other nations to believe that the
United States has no intention of
backing up its demands made in the
interests of justice and humanity.
Most vulnerable of all points in the
Democratic armor is it's foreign pol
spoils system by which men trained
in the consular and diplomatic serv-
ice through long years, have been
displaced to make room for poll
ticians and friends of politicians,
whose sole claim to preferment was
their service to the Democratic party.
"If I am elected president of the
United States" said Mr.. Hughes last
night, 81 propose that every man 1
put in charge of an important depart
ment shall be man eminently fit to dis
charge the duties of that department"
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 con-
sent, Mr.. Hughes denounces as "a
capital DEMONSTRATING in the good
name of the United States and dam
aging its honor" Nobody" he adds,
has 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 unmindful of
the high principles of government
which must be maintained in order
that this republic shall maintain its
place as shining example to all ma
tons.

POINTS FROM
HUGHES SPEECHES

Reckless extravaganza of the
Democrats is an insult to the
American people.
Deserving Democrats Deserv-
ing in heavens name Of what?
We have a splendid system of
government, on paper, but we
want that system vitalized.
The pork barrel bill brings a
blush Of shame to the cheeks of
every American.
I am here because I have a
vision of what America needs.
An idle American will always
feel uncomfortable.
America will not hold her own
by high-sounding phrases.
Are we not a nation great
enough to have sufficient fore
sight to protect our borders in
sensible fashion by means of
sensible preparedness?
If we state our rights in a firm
and determined manner it
should carry conviction. There
should be no vacillation In con-
nection with that assertion.
Bridgeton pioneer., 1916-09-07

Sometimes you hear men, sensible
men, too, say, "Pm going to vote for
Wilson this year because he kept us
out Of war"
Ask such men a short question.
Ask them, "Out of what warf"
Did Mr.. Wilson keep us out of the
European War? No. He has himself
in formal address to congress spok-
en- of the European war as "a war
with which we have nothing to do, a
war whose ca0ses do not touch u.s."
How could Mr.. Wilson keep us out
Of war with which we have nothing
to do and whose causes do not touch
use
Did he keep the rest Of the western
hemisphere out Of the European warf
No Independent nation on this side
Of the world is involved in It; the
only people in it are the colonies Of
European powers and they had no
voice in their fate, for they were au-
tomatically at war when their mother
governments went to war. Who kept
Argentina, Brazil, Chile Peru, out Of
the European war? Did Mr.. Wilson?
Did Mr.. Wilson keep us out Of war
with Mexico? No. In his term more
Americans have been killed by Mexi.
cans and more American property has
been destroyed by Mexicans than by
Spaniards during the whole Spanish
war. In his term we have seized a
Mexican port and have sent our entire
regular army and militia to fight Mexi-
cans. In his term Mexican armed
forces have invaded American soil and
fought battles against our people with
in our boundaries.
President Taft went through two
Mexican revolutions during his term,
the revolution against Diaz and the
revolution against Madero. American
lives were safe in Mexico during that
time. No Mexican cities were seized
by Americans and no armed Mexicans
invaded the United States while Mr..
Taft was in the White House. Yet Mr..
Taft never thought of asking the
American people to vote for him be-
cause he kept us out Of war with
Mexico. He put an embargo on arms
so that American weapons would not
be sent across the boundary, and he
refused to interfere in Mexican affairs
When he left Office Mexicans liked
Americans and Americans were safe
in Mexico. Since he left office Mexi-
cans hate Americans and Americans
dare not remain in Mexico. Did Mr..
Wilson keep US out Of war with Mexi-
co? Not If words mean anything.
Mr.. Wilson did not keep us out Of
the European war and he did not keep
us out Of war with Mexico.
Out Of what war, then? Detroit
Free Press.

THE NcoNslDERATE BEHAVIOR
OF A CANDIDATE.

Why does Mr.. Hughes insist upon
talking about that old-fashioned, not
to say ubiquitous" doctrine, the pro-
tect've tariff? For nearly the whole
period of its Industrial existence, the
United States struggled along under
protection. The Democratic party In
1913 came to the relief of an afflicted
and burdened people.
The Republican Administration (not
on account Of the tariff, 1t is true)
was overthrown. Before taking over
the reins of government, and for many
years prior to that time, countless
Democratic statesmen had vainly tried
to persuade the American people that
the protective tariff was an iniquity,
a veritable contrivance Of devils. 1t
fostered the trusts, and II was an ele-
vator Of prices even to the thirty-sev-
enth story and the tower. They prom
ised relief. The poor should be no
longer oppressed; the cost Of living
should be reduced-must be, as the
sure result of tariff for revenue
protective only In spots, such as the
Louisiana sugar mills and the Carolina
cotton factories.
Doesn't Mr.. Hughes know what the
Administration did which he Is now
attacking? He ought to know. The
Democrats, under the leadership of
Mr. Wilson and Mr.. Underwood, re-
pealed that iniquity and abomination,
the Payne-Aldrich tariff law-that fos-
ter mother of trusts and high prices
and enacted in its place the present
law. Mr.. Hughes knows, of course,
as every head Of family in America
knows, that the trusts have not yet
been dissolved and that the cost of
living is higher than ever,-that the
price Of everything has reached an un-
heard-of height-but what Of it?
What of it, indeed? While it Is
true that protective tariff never fail
ed under any circumstances, to pro-
tect American industry and American
labor, it Is to be considered that the
war in Europe has upset the plans Of
the present low-tariff administration
considerably. Also it forms an excel
lent foundation for an alibi. It is a
very unusual condition.
Now, the obvious thing for Mr..
Hughes to do is to give the Demo-
Gratis chance to get their tariff on
straight. Never mind the patient; let
the doctor experiment. That time
won't come, of course, until the war
is over-according to the Democratic
version. In other words the tariff
for-revenue doctrine doesn't fit the
conditions; the conditions must be
made to fit the tariff. So why this
disturbance, Mr.. Hughes?
Besides, when you discuss a little
thing like the tariff, do you not know
that Son-in-Law McAdoo and the other
statesmen Of the Democratic family
are likely to repeat their accusation
that you are 'pettifogging" "?-Charles-
ton, w. Va, Mail.
Bridgeton pioneer., 1916-09-07

The men and women who prefer a
man who does things to a man who
writes notes about them will vote
for Hughes. Government by corre-
spondence takes too long to get any
where, but government BY deeds Is
always on the Job.
