 Bryan butts, Wilson tuts.
 watchful waiting maketh woeful wanting.
 Candidate Hughes doesn't talk like tut-tutter
 Hughes is hammering and the Demo- crats are yammering.
 The Wilson Administration stands for taxes. and more taxes.
 The Hughes trail will be cold by the time the Democrats strike it. As a party leader, would 1t be fair to refer to J. Ham Lewis as J. Fork" Lewisf
 Can the folks on the Democratic band wagon continue to play by the presidents notes?
 Bryan says Mir. Hughes talks aren't judicial No. The people can under stand 'em perfectly.
 Hughes says the country can't be saved by letting 1t drift. That's where he and W. Wilson differ.
 Washington reports that a new apol- ogy has been sent to First Chief Car ranza. Looks like habit.
 Mir. Bryan Is mistaken when he says Hughes is "vitriolic." The candidate is merely applying the acid test.
 Political opponents are beginning to find that why Mir. Hughes kept silence so long wasn't because he had lost his tongue.
 Another encouraging feature about our new navy is that when 1t is com pleted MT. Daniels will not be secre- tary of 1t.
 Having discovered that the Demo crats don't like what he is saying, Mir. Hughes doubtless Is convinced that he is on the right track.

 It is reported from Washington that the administration will ignore most of Mir. Hughes charges. That is very much the easiest way for 1t to answer them.
 President Wilson will not make any speaking dates. we are told, but only separate engagements for addresses, considering speaking tour undigni- fed. ''Too proud to fight"
 Tammany Leader Charles F. Murphy announces that he will retire after the campaign. It is believed that many other more or less distinguished Demo crats will follow his example.
 Governor Hughes announces fin one of his speeches that he is construc' tionist. But we are willing to admit that so far as Democratic policies are concerned he is a destructionist
 President Wilson will be notified of the Democratic nomination at Shadow Lawn. This seems a most appropriate place for letting him know that he will shortly have to give up his place in the sun.
 Grover Cleveland was the last Demo cratic president. He was also the last president to issue bonds to secure money to defray the running expenses of the government. But Wilson will tie him in this.
 Eminent judges" says Colonel Hen " Watterson, have ever proved disap- pointing candidates" He is right Al ton E. Parker was big disappoint ment to the Democrats. And so Is Charles Evans Hughes. Blade What Iosantffiaoua nantala the well
