(From Our Regular correspondent)
~ 0VERNoR HUGHES continues
to pour hot shot into the admin.
istration because OF the Adam
son bill. Asserting at Newark, that
It was nothing less than deception to
call It an "eight.hour BILL" Mr.. Hugh
es quoted the statement Of Senator
Underwood Of Alabama in the Senate
debate. Relying to another Senator
Mr.. Underwood said:
''If the Senator would go and
consult with any Of the gentlemen
who represent the employees and
who have been contending here
In this matter, they would tell
him candidly. as they told me. that
the question Is question OF wage;
that they are not contending for
an eight.hour day. that a man shall
work only eight hours; they do
not want that"
Mr.. Hughes Is showing up In con
elusive manner the absolute hypo
crisy OF President Wilson's persisten,
Misrepresentation of the Adamsou
bill as an "eight.hour bill. What Is
the purpose OF this attempt to maks
the public believe that this bill fixes
an eight-hour workday?" inquired MIR
Hughes. answering his own question
thus. "Manifestly. in order to endea
vor to justify this extraordinary &C
ton OF the administration in its OBJ
ject to humiliating surrender OF prin
ciple in demanding and securing thi:
legislation without any proper inquiry
as the price OF peace. Evidently. 81
is felt that wage increase could moi
be justified In this manner. What Is
fair and right can afford to be des
cribed correctly and can stand on It's
merits" Referring to President vii
sons assertion that the eight-houi
day has the sanction OF the Judgment
OF society" Mr.. Hughes demanded tC
know. IL that were true and the bill
had been an eight.hour mill. how Pres
ident Wilson dared to limit the eight
hour benefit to 90 per cent. OF thu
most highly paid railway employees and
leave all the others to work far long
er hours. He also warned the Labor
men that the Adamson bill was yer,
likely to prove boomerang to labor
because with eight hours made the
basis of a days work, those men who
completed their runs in less than eigh,
hours were in grave danger of beinf

NEW YORK, Oct. 10.-The supreme

upon financial, Industrial and com.

Of Germany's submarines in neighbor

Declines were most startling and be

sion manifested on previous occas
ions when relations between Washing

Such leaders as United States Steel

the better known war brides" broke
from s to almost 20 points. the list
for q time showing little support. This
condition underwent general read just
ment, however, before the end Of the
morning session, much OF the setback
being retrieved, but tan undercurrent
Of uncertainty prevailed to the end.

WHY YOU SHOULD NOT VOTE
FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

Because it stands for low tariff.
Because low tariff gives to foreign cheap labor an
opportunity to successfully compete with American
made goods.
Because the importation Of foreign made goods means
the closing of shops, factories and industries in
America.
Because this means the reduction of wages and the
discharge of thousands of American workmen.
Because 1893 to 1896 when the Democratic Party was
in power, had the Coxe's Army marching onto
Washington, and an, the free, soup houses.
Because the first fifteen months of this present admin
stratOn had the free bread lines for hundreds of
thousands unemployed wOrkmen.
Because: before the broke out in Europe 300
600 men were walking the streets of Chicago alone
looking for work.
Because: when the present European closes the
vast army engaged in this bloody war will
to the shops factories, foundres and mills to
manufacture commodities.
BecauSe Europe is now practically bankrupt and it will
seek to regain the vast wealth shipped to this
country for orders.
Because under the present Underwood Triff Law
passed by the Democratic Congress and signed by
the present Democratic President, there is no pro-
lection against the inevitable foreign commercial
and industrial invasion.
Because in that event it will return to the free
bread lines; the thousands of men again walking
the streets looking for work. homes again darkened
and financial ruin and depression again facing
American industries and American workmen.
Because the Democratic party has not kept it's pledge
to reduce the high cost Of living, but the contrary
history of the nation
Because the Adamson eight hour law is not intended
to benefit the trainmen, but merely to catch votes
Because if was intended to be beneficial to the tran
dlately after It's passage, and not to take effect
until December 1s after the present Presidential
campaign is
Because the present prosperity only temporary and
is based solely on orders the following table

Because it stands for a Protective Tariff.
Because it is the best friend of labor by protecting
through Protective Tariff, American industries
and American labor.
Because it gives to every who wants to work, a

Because it does not depend for a prosperous United

Because during it's administrations, the United States

Because wages highest during it's administration.
Because: free soup houses and bread lines unknown

Because: then the job seeks the and not the man

Because: the cost of living is reduced.
Because: it's past performances have definatey demon
strated that it is party OF fulflment and achieve

Because: in politics the same rule should apply as in

references not future promises; investigate past
performances, not future hopes.
Because: the Republican Party party of past per-
