Charles E. Hughes, Its
Candidate, Proves He Is
Drawer Than His Party

The Hughes declaration for equal SUI
frage proves the Republican candidate to
be bigger and Drawer than his party.
1t proves, also. one of two other
things: either that he is politically more
courageous than the Democratic candl-
date or that his conception of the great
benefits to the country to be derived by
equal suffrage is clearer than that of the
Democratic candidate.
Wilson has never cared TO go farther
than to concede state option in giving
women a vote.
His party went no farther than that
in the st. Louis platform.
Hughes own party went no farther
than that in the Chicago platform.
It's candidate freely expresses HIS con-
viction that if equal suffrage is worthy
of endorsement by any particular state,
It is worthy of endorsement by the
nation.
He will be charged with seeking politi-
cal advantage.
His declaration will be deemed bid
for the votes of women in the states
where women vote at the present time
and where they will have voice in NAM
ing the next president.
But this view will be taken only by
those who do not KNOW Charles E.
Hughes.
II will be taken by those who are not
familiar with his record as governor of
New York
II will be taken by those who do not
stop to consider that for every vote ne
might gain by indorsing equal suffrage,
he will lose two votes in what are known
as the liberal states, dominated by liberal
votes.

this matter of equal suffrage, should con-
slider the fact that it was the consensus
Of opinion among the long party heads
in two national conventions this year,
that an endorsement of woman's suf-
frage would NOT be wise political step.
These long heads in the Democratic
party did NOT consider il would be TO the
advantage of the party to endorse wom-
ans suffrage even after the Republicans
had turned it down in Chicago.
The Times, having been the first daily
newspaper in the middle west 10 declare
for the benefits of the mother interest in
sons to be expressed through the ballot,
knows well enough, indeed, that Charles
f. Hughes will LOSE votes rather than
gain votes by having had the courage to
express his convictions.

women in Michigan The Times was favor
