great difficulty that the flames

A CONTEST or CHARACTER,
NOT OF WEASEL WORDS
Cardinal Question In This Campaign is
Whether the People Want In the
White House a Phrase Maker
or a Man Who Backs
Words With Deeds.

Woodrow Wilson excels in the ar
tistry OF politics beyond the capacity
of Charles Evans Hughes TO compete.
Were the current campaign a game OF
professional politics instead OF a con
test OF character between two candi-
dates for the highest office In the gift
Of the people Nh. Wilson would walk
away with the prize next November
All his life he has made a study of
form-first of literary form-and lat
terly of political form. In the first
period he mastered q style peculiarly
his own and peculiarly characteristics
The study OF words and their multi
plicity OF meaning always f%ascinates
him, so much hat a Princeton class
mate recently said of him. Tommy
has lived with words so long he thinks
they are real things" Thence comes
his collection OF what Theodore ROose-
velt's Maine guide calls weasel
words" That is-"he can take a word
aud weasel IL around and suck the
meaning out of 1t like a weasel sucks
an egg, until 1t don't mean anything at
all, no matter what 1t sounds like 1t
means" Thence came also the series
OF catch phrases, 81 fascinating in
sound. so false In suggestion; so easy
to read. so hard to understand. So IL Is
that he is able to be on all sides OF
every public question while covering
his circuitous course with a flow of
words that roll as easily from his pen
an a brook through the meadow. 1t Is
his artfulness in the use of words that
enables him to pose as ian amateur I'm

the skill Of a professional. Whatever
his ineptitude IN other respects, he Is
easily first among presidents In the
artistry of politics, and he would win
next November were that the test.
Compare the Witness Of Mr.. Wilson
with the straightforwardness OF Dir.
Hughes. Compare the smooth style of
the one with the rugged diction OF the
other. The one is rs complex in the use
OF words as the other is simple. 1t is
a ease Of so%norousness versus strength.
Mr.. Hughes is depending upon the
strategy Of straighforwardness and
the strength Of sincerity; upon the
force OF facts instead of upon the hc-
ton OF a phrase, to win his case be
fore the jury of the nation. His appeal
ia TO the head and not the a of the
people; to their intelligence and not to
their emotion: to their heroic side and
not to their hysterical side. 1t is an
appeal to the courage OF the country
and not to It's cowardice. Mr.. Hughes
could not IL he would perform In a
year the political tricks that Mr.. VIII
son can do I'm a day. The question to
day is whether the people want in the
White House for the next four years a
phrase maker or a history maker, a
man Of many sayings or a mar who
backs his words with deeds. There Is
a fundamental difference between the
two candidates which marks the line
OF cleavage in this extraordinary cam
paign-"Hughes means what he says

LABOR VOTE NOT DELIVERABLE
This 10 the Outstanding Fact Which
Political Philosophers Deduce From
the Defeat In Maine OF Repre-
sentative McGillicuddy.

From among the numerous lessons
or conclusions which the political phi
losophers can draw from the Maine
election one lesson or conclusion
stands out more sharply defined than
any other. 1t jumps at you.
The labor vote. for the sake or
which the Poltroon Congress tarred and
feathered itself WITH its W hands
only a dozen days ago, Is not delivera-
BILE by traders who pretended TO sell it.
This salient fact of the election Is IL
Illustrated conspicuously in the Second
Congress district. There are few places
within the confines of our republic
where labor is relatively stronger than
In the city of Lewiston, the home city
OF Representative McGi1icudy, and he
has made a speciality of 1t in his own
political practice. In the Second Maine,
II anywhere, would there be indica-
tons OF any return, In the shape OF
votes, for the surrender of Congress to
the four Brotherhoods. After a cam
paign which might almost be called
desperate in its effort to save McGilli-
cuddy and one Democratic seat In the
House from the Republican onset, Mr..
McGillicudy was defeated by an adj
verse plurality Of nearly 40, whereas
he had been elected to the Sixty-sec-
ond Congress by a plurality of 1889
and to the Sixty-third by 1881.
