Stockton is now earnestly thinking of the
great National election Nov. 7th. fraught
with SO many important Issues, vitality connect
ed with the coming events in the prosperity
or failure of this country. From the Boston
Herald of Saturday we quote the following:
1.-The serious minded voter on Tuesday week,
will make up his mind, not by considering the
fgureheads of the two political barks, but by
estimating the cloud of witnesses on one side
and on the other. And we say this with no
disparagement to Mr.. Hughes. We believe
him incomparably superior in mind and heart,
to Woodrow Wilson. But there is greater
issue than even that incompatible superiority,
and that is the contrasting backgrounds of
these two historic figures"
