HUGHES OR WILSON?
ROOSEVELT'S ANSWER

Against Mr.. Wilson's COM
bination of grace in elocution
with futility in action; against
his record of words unbacked by
deeds or betrayed by deeds, we
see Mr.. Hughes rugged and I'M
compromising straightforward
ness OF character and action in
every Office he has held. We
put the man who thinks and
speaks directly, and whose
words have always been made
good, against the man whose
adroit and facile elocution is
used to conceal his plans or his
want of plans The next four
years may well be years of tre-
mendous national strain Which
of the two men do you, the
American people, wish at the
helm during these four years;
the man who has been actually
tried and found wanting, or the
man whose whole career in pub
lie Office is a guarantee of his
power and good faith? But one
answer is possible; and it must
be given by the American people
through the election of Charles
Evans Hughes as President of

oS'e anu Sauors Along ana ACROSS
the Rio Grande.
Soon after Mr.. Hughes was nomi-
mated a friend said to him: Governor,
if the American people forget the Mexi-
can disgrace they do not deserve to
have you for President Quick as
flash he replied: 1.-The candidate who
lodges the Mexican disgrace does not
deserve to be President" He did not
pass around his address of acceptance
for compliment or criticism in ad-
vance of its delivery but the amount
of space he devoted to the Mexican
disgrace-"that confused chapter of
biunders" no one who had
talked with him since his nomination.
1t has been in his mind and on his
mind more than any other single prob
lem with which Mr.. Wilson has pal
tered To talk with him is to see at once
the reality of his indignation over the
heartless manner in which American
men, women and children, American
citizens, soldiers and sailors have been
abandoned by the Administration along
and across the Rio Grande, the vic
tins of Mexican armed forces, outfit
ted with American ammunition and
L
Wilson has coddled one day as pa
triots only to chase the next as
bandits.
1t is apparently the belief of Mr..
Wilson that the people of the United
States are not interested in Mexico.
His defenders have declared that it
was on ''old story and out of date"
Mr.. Hughes has a better opinion of his
fellow countrymen. He has proved
himself better judge of their feelings
He has made 1.-The Mexican disgrace
a foremost issue of his campaign. He
has assailed the record of the Admin
istration in that respect in almost
every speech he has made. He has new
er failed to strike a responsive chord
in the hearts of his audience, whether
speaking in Carnegie Hall, New York,
from the platform of his train at
Grand Forks, North Dakota. to a vast
audience at Portland, at the EXPOSE
ton at San Diego or in the prairie
states of the Middle West He has re-
futed the SANDER, sometimes heard in
the effete East, that the people of the
great West do not care what happens
to their fellow citizens in Mexico or
to the flag beyond the border. No
man born in the West has a firner
faith in the fundamental patriotism
and dominant Americanism" of the
people of that section than Mr.
Hughes. He holds them responsible
in large measure for the encourage
ment and support he received while
Governor of New York in his war
upon political graft and political boss
ism. He thinks they had much to do
with conscripting him as the cham
pion of nationalism in the current cam
paign- He showed his confidence in
their practical idealism when he made
1.-THE Mexican disgrace" an uppermost
issue of his campaign. He has been
vindicated by the response his arraign-
ment of the Administration on this
score has everywhere evoked. From
Maine to California 1.-THE Mexican dis
grace" is a sore subject with red
blooded Americans today. But no
where between the oceans are the out
RACES inflicted in Mexico upon Ameri-
can honor, life and property more
keenly resented than around the fire
sides of the great West. Mr.. Hughes
is no stranger to the West. His
talk on Mexico proves
it.
