HUGHES MAY COME
BUT MATTER IN DOUBT
NJ - s#1T EVEH
Chairman nl,ltar, Eysvagly
Urging He Make Trip
Through Valley

CharlesSEvans Hughes, republican
candidate Afor president may or may
not deliver a campaign address in
Salem. The situation is about like
this:
Judge C. L. McNary, chairman of
the republican state central committee
has been urging the campaign managers
to permit Mr. Hughes to speak in the
Willamette valley where a large per-
centage of the rural people of the state
live, where he would have opportunity
to address from $4,000 to 10000 people.
Judge McNary's plan is to have the
candidate leave Portland next Wednes-
day morning on the Oregon Electric
and make short stops at Salem, Albany
and Eugene, returning that evening in
time for the clock mass meeting at
the ice hippodrome.
On account of the bad condition OF
the candidates voice this plan was op-
posed bv the campaign managers who
contended that Mr.. Hughes needed all
day Wednesday for resting.
On behalf of the Oregon committee,
Judge McNary telegraphed the presi-
dental party yesterday in North Da-
kota, setting forth the advantages of
q visit in the valley and asking them
to change their present plans As yet,
no answer has heen received, and the
question as to whether Salem folks
will see and hear the candidate is un-
decided.
Mr.. Rodney, who has charge to some
extent of the itinerary, thought that
Mr.. Hughes would be willing if his
voice holds out Anyhow, Judge Nc
Nary feels that he has done everything
that could be done to give the people
of the valley an opportunity to hear
the republican candidate.

HEARTLEss WAR.

II there is any name that has been
heaped up with honor and tributes
throughout almost the whole of the
European war, it is Joffre, command
er-in-chief of the armies of France.
Almost every commentator has de-
clared that whatever might be the
fate of other leaders of troops, The
place of 1offre among the real heroes
of the war was secure. Again and
again it was asserted that he was the
one particular luminary of the con-
fiict, on the side of the Entente, if
not on either.
And yet in the last few days it
was announced from Paris that Jof-
fire had been deposed from the SUI
preme command, and that Neville, of
comparatively recent fame, had been
elevated to that place of distinction
and responsibility.
If it is rue that Joffre has display
ed snch great genius and capacity,
then how heartless is war to set him
aside for another!
If it is not true that he has been
worthy of the place he has held, then
how can any one justify all the
paeans of praise that have been
sounded for him for so long?
