strong and influential friends.

N. Y. World and Hughes

Mr. Hughes talked unreservedly
with the newspaper men, outlining in
a general way. but not for direct quo
tation, his plans for his notification

enjoying the freedom of the occasion.
Whenever n face appeared among the
spectators and callers which he knew,
the former justice fairly beamed A
vigorous grasp of the nand, occasion
ally a pat on the back and now and
then a recalling of some past event ac-
companied the candidates greetings to
scores of admirers who flocked to the
rooms in the Astor to pledge support.
What fabricator started the report
that Justice Hughes is as cold as ice

San Francisco, one of numerous big
men who called on MIR. Hughes yester-
day. This is the first time I've seen
Mr.. Hughes, and let me tell you he is
human and red-blooded to the last ex-
treme. He has a very keen sense of
humor and a magnetic personality.
On the stump he will be a most COM
pelling and winning campaigner."
The sentiments of Mr.. Crocker were
re-echoed by NJ. IF. De Young, pro-
prietor of the San Francisco Chronicle,

Mr.. Crocker to assure the candidate
that he will prove a very popular can

NOT THIS YEAR

CAYS certain newspaper ex-
y ponent of Democracy in Penn
sylvania, commenting on the
prominence of Palmer and others at
the National gathering:
Pennsylvania at ST. Louis is loom
ing quite as big as at Baltimore
and consequent election of Wood
row Wilson as President possible.
Yes, but 1t is noticeable that Penn
sylvania Democrats have left at home
all of those banners they carried at
Baltimore promising Pennsylvania for
the Democratic candidate and we hear
nothing of that one-time rousing
slogan: Give us Wilson and we will
give you Pennsylvania"
II the Democrats of other States
had done no better than those of
Pennsylvania Wilson never would
have reached the White House.
Which gives rise to the question
If Pennsylvania Democrats were un-
able to carry their State in 1912, with
the Republican party split in two, how
do they expect to carry it for Wilson
this year with the party united and
enthusiastic?

VTERY unostentatiously and with
v out ceremony Harrisburg became
a larger city yesterday by the
addition of eighty-five acres of very
desirable territory. Slowly but surely
the city is encroaching upon Swatara
township, but not to the hardship of
that community, and greatly to the
advantage of the property owners who
are thus given the advantages of
everything desirable the municipality
has to offer.
The new Boyd's Directory gives
Harrisburg a population of $4,000.
The directory publishers themselves
admit this is high, and so it is, but we
are growing fast both in the way of
new buildings and by annexation. We
are approaching the 100000 mark
more rapidly than many may suppose
and our watchword ought to be 100, 900
by 1920.

4 CLEAN CAMPAIGN

u ECENT statements of Mr.. Hughes
N and President Wilson both in
dicate that this is to be a clean
campaign and that singing is to
be frowned upon by the leaders of
both sides. The old idea of trying to
make votes by calling the opposition
candidate hard names without reason
and basing political arguments on
billingsgate instead of reason has been
tossed into the discard.
Time was when the candidate with
the largest torchlight professions and
the most bands carried the day. Then
came the period when character
assassination on the stump and in the
newspapers was sufficient to win vic
tories. But those periods are, happily.
gone. and we have reached a place
in our history when men vote accord
ing to their convictions and more and
more they are coming to reach their
conclusions by the facts in the case
supported by logical and truthful
argument.
Mud-slingnig is degrading. 1t ac-
conclusions by the facts in the case,
hoped that both sides will confine
themselves to principles rather than
to personalities It is possible to point
out the faults of a candidate or the
errors of an administration without
charging either with improper motives.

Verdun and the Germans

Fifteen weeks after the capture of
Fort Douaumont comes the fall of
Vaux, the second in the chain of ex-
terror defenses of Verdun. From
Douadmont to Vaux is less than two
miles, and the same distance separates
VauX from the next fortress to the
south. Tavannes. 1t is therefore impos-
sible to say how much nearer the cap
ture of that position has been brought.
as for the fall" of Verdun itself, that
event does not depend on the capture
of outside positions. 1t is problem for
the Germans of pushing across FIVE or
six miles of ground, every foot OF which
will be defended as hitherto; between
fort and trench there is now little dis
tinction except that the trench Is easier
to hold. Vaux, nevertheless, is testi-
mony to the extraordinary resourceful-
ness and persistence of the German at
tack. This much may be said If the
battle of Verdun were the only opera
ton of the war, the occupation by the
Germans of the ruins that were YER
dun could be predicted, after three
months perhaps. or after half a year.
But the essential of German success is
that their efforts against Verdun shall
not be interrupted. In the East the
Russians have already set on foot de-
Velopments of the most far-reaching
results An allied stroke along the
British line would relieve pressure on

THE ARIZONA GUARD

TT begins to look as though the Ma

good cause for libel suit against
the Democratic administration.
The recent intimation of an inten-
ton to courtmartial a lot of members
of the guard for not responding to the
call to service has brought out a let

showing that with a peace strength of
fifty officers and 6S5 men, the COM

on his arrival at the camp, and more

Three hundred thousand "jitney"
