FAMILIES SPLIT

Wives of Wilson Supporters
VIII Take Stump For
Gov. Hughes.
DIVERTlNG CAMPAIGN PHASE

Washington.-Families are being d.
vided by the present political issues.
Here are a few examples. J. A. II.
Hopkins of New Jersey Is treasurer
of the Progressive ~(genuine) national
committee, and has announced that
he personally favors the reelection of
Wilson. Mrs. Hopkins Is a member
of the Woman's party and will take
the stump and do all she can to
prevent the election of Wilson.
Clifford Pinchot Is for Hughes and
all the militarism Hughes and his
backing can secure. Amos Pinchot,
his brother, Is a member of the
American Union Against Milltarism
and will support Wilson as the lesser
Of two evils. Rep. William Kent of
California Is a wild-eyed enthusiast
for Wilson and Is heading a Wilson
-non-partisan league, while Mrs. Kent
Is a member of the Woman's party
and will stump for the defeat of Will
son.
George Middleton has allied himself
with the group Of writer's who have
announced themselves for Wilson,
while his wife, Fola La Toilette, Is one
of the members Of the Congressional
union who will hold Wilson respon-
sible for the defeat of the Susan B.
Anthony amendment. Meredith Mich
olson Is a Wilson supporter, but Mrs.
Nicholson will write and stump
against Wilson on account of his at
titude toward the federal suffrage
amendment. Mrs. Louis F. Post is a
member of the Woman's Peace party
and an ardent Tolstoyan pacifist.

labor, Is for the Administrations

A PICTURE OF HUGHES.

The New York World, which once
was outspoken In its admiration for
Mr.. Hughes, now declares that the
people do not know where Hughes
stands, or what he stands for. This
Wilson organ had no such criticism
to make when Mr.. Hughes was gov
ernor. The World said on May IT,
1910: HE dictated no nominations,
controlled no convention, traf1cked in
nc patronage, made nc bargains with
officeholders. He has rewarded no
body for supporting him and punished
nobody for opposing him. What In
fiuence he has welded over public
opinion has come through his appeals
to the voters themselves" That is
the estimate of Mr.. Hughes given by
the World six years ago. It Is a
pretty fair letter Of recommendation.
Could the World say as much for
President Wilson, Hardy for the
president has done all of the things
from which the World absolved

HUGHES, LABOR RECORD.

When Mr.. Gompers, remembering
only that he is a Democrat and for.
getting that he is a leader of organ.
lied labor, ventured to assert that
Mr.. Hughes is unfriendly to labor be-
cause he concurred In the unanimous
decision In the Danbury hatters' case,
he ventured on very thin ice. The
Chicago Tribune promptly reminds
him that an honest judge must apply
the law as he thinks 1t is, not as
he thinks 1t ought to be; and asks
him TO tell those who look to him
for political advice something about
the record of Mr.. Hughes as Gov
ernor Read what the Legislative
Labor News, the official organ of the
New York Federation of Labor, said
~editorially when Mr.. Hughes left the
Governors chair at Albany for his
place on the supreme court. Here 1t
Is:
Now that Gov. Hughes has retired
from politics and assembled to a place
N the highest judicial tribunal IN the
world, the fact can be acknowledged
without hurting anybody's political
corns that he was the greatest friend
of labor laws that ever occupied the
Governors chair at Albany. During
his two terms he has signed ifty-six
labor laws, including among them the
best labor laws ever enacted In this
or any state.
HE also urged the enactment of
labor laws In his messages to the
Legislature, even going so far as to
place the demand for a labor law In
n of his messages to an extra ses-
sion of the Legislature.
"Only 162 labor laws have been
enacted In this state since its erec~
ton in 1777-in 1873 years. One-third
of these, exceeding IN quality all OF
the others, have been enacted and
signed during Gov. Hughes term OF
three years and nine months"
Let organized labor take to heart
what the Chicago Tribune says on
this point: 'Mr. Hughes Is no dem
agogue and no visionary. He Is a
man of courage and conscience, and

have we got in this country to make
their boy scouts think twice about TAX
ing Us on?"
Ashby leaned forward and pulled the
driver from his golf bag. He weighed
the stick doubtfully In his hand and
waved it critically before him. "Oh,
but l was rotten this afternoon;
couldn't smack q ball straight a hun

"Of course l know we haven't all the

want it; so that's all there Is to it"
He speared his driver violently back
In the bag among the other golf clubs
and sat staring away.

Mr.. Hughes, with rare courage, frank
ness and penetration, is exposing the
tlimsy foundation for the claims of
Wilsonian infalltbility. He is laying
bare a record of extravaganza, parti-
sanship. sectionalism, incompetence,
wrongheadedness. vaccillation and in
sincerity which destroys the attempt

M'MHLEr's WAR COST LESS
BLo0DsHED THAN WILSON'S PEACE
BY Theodore Roosevelt

Under President Mckinley we
had a wal with Spain. Under
President Wilson we are assured
that we have had peace" with
Mexico. These are the words.
Now for the deeds. During the
war with Spain fewer Americans
were killed by the Spaniards
than have been killed by Med-
cans during the present peace
with Mexico. Let me repeat
this. A greater number Of Amer
leans have been killed by
Mexicans during these years,
when we are officially informed
that we have been at peace with
them, than were killed by the
Spaniards during u entire war
with Spain. Moreover when the
war with Spain was through, 1t
was through. But peace still con-
tinues to rage as furiously as
ever In Mexico. Nor Is this
all. The instant effect of the
outcome of the war with Spain
was to put a stop to the dread
full butchery and starvation In
Cuba and the Philippines, and
the entry of both Cuba and the
Philippines on a career of eight
cen years of peace and pros
perity such as they had never
known before In all their check
cred history. But during these
three years of Mr.. Wilson's
peace" the Mex1cans them
selves have been butchered by
their own bandits steadily and
without intermission and MeM-
can women and children have
died by thousands-probably by
scores Of thousands-of starva-
ton. and of the diseases incident
to starvation. In other words,
Mr.. McKinley's war cost less
peace; and 1t reflected high hon.
or on the American people;
whereas Mr.. Wilson's peace
has been one Of shame and dis
honor for the American people,
and one of ruin and bloodshed
for the Mexicans.
