World conditions and our OWE
national conditions are such a char.
acter that the services Of a man Of
widest experience and most pro-
nounced success--and none other
should be entrusted with the mighty
duties and the high responsibilities
Of the presidency. 1t is no time to
talk, even, Of installing in the White
House an untried man--especially
when just those qualities and char
acteristics needed for the times are
possessed by the honored occupant
Of that place.
Leaving out Of consideration, for
the moment, all thought Of parties
and politics, boxing only to the fair
ness and qualifications Of candi-
dates, Woodrow Wilson so far sur
passes Mr.. Hughes that there should
not be a single attempt at argument
or occasion for discussion in select
ing the head Of the government for
the next fouS, years" -Chattanooea
