DENIES ASsAILING Mr.. HUGHES.
Percy Mackaye Writes He Never
Saw Authors Letter" With
His Name Appended.


Percy Mackaye, playwright, whose
name appeared as one Of the signers
of the so-called authors letter." pub
lished in the newspapers last week,
knew nothing about the matter until
after publication, according to state
ment given out yesterday at Repub-
lican national headquarters. The let
ter attacked Charles Il. Hughes criti-
cism Of President Wilson as mon
constructive" and propounded ten
questions for Mr.. Hughes to answer.
In letter to Mr.. Hughes Mr.. Mackaye
said -
my attention has just been called
to an open letter addressed to you,
printed In the New York Herald Of
August 2, signed by a number Of pro-
fessional writer's, among whom my
name Is included. l beg to send you
this word, to say that / did not sign
the letter and never saw or heard Of
the letter until 1t was shown to me
In print"
1t was stated at Republican head
quarters that neither Mr.. Hughes nor
any of his staff had seen the letter
except as 1t appeared in the news
papers.

when we contemplate industrial
and commercial conditions" says Mr..
Hughes, 1--WE see that we are living
In fools paradise" This Is the con
dition to which the administration and
its supporters have deliberately closed
their eyes. When the war cloud broke
over Europe, this country was expert
encing the most serious depression ii
had known since 1893, when the Demo
cratic party and its policies were in
full control of the United States.
Suddenly there came from over the
sea a demand for munitions of war,
clothing, food, supplies, everything
needed by vast armies and by coun-
tries whose sons were taken from the
field and the workshop, never to re-
turn.
AS result our exports and the bal
ance of trade In our favor have reach
ed figures far surprising any ever be-
fore known. Temporarily, especially in
the East, there Is no lack of work at
high wages, for Europe must pay
whatever price America asks. No
thoughtful person would imagine that
this condition is anything like real
prosperity. How false IL is, we I'm
Oregon, who have the clearer vision
because not clouded by the smoke
from munitions factories, have fully
felt and fully appreciated.
What the Republican candidate for
president says about II the Democrats
know to be true:
"Our opponents promised to reduce
the cost Of living This they have
failed to do, but did reduce the oppor-
tunlties of making a living. Let us
not forget the conditions that existed
in this country under the new tariff
prior to the war. Production had de-
creased; business was languishing;
new enterprises were not undertaken;
instead of expansion there was cur
tailment and our streets we're filed
with the unemployed"
The suspension of these conditions
is not nationwide, only sectional, and
depends upon the duration OF the war.
Those who think otherwise are, In
deed, living in fools paradise.--Port-
land (Orel Telegrff.

FARMERS SIZE UP HUGHES
AS "PREITY GOOD FELLOW"

Fargo, N. D.-Charles Il. Hughes
campaigned for the first time among
the sturdy farmers of the eastern part
Of North Dakota and left behind him
the reputation Of being pretty good
fellow"
He was forced to undergo a critical
scrutiny before the verdict was given.
Mr.. Hughes preached the doctrines
Of government efficiency, American
ism, tariff as protection to the farm
ers and preparedness. and in each In
stance won applause, despite the fact
that the farmers are not the strong
est advocates of the last named issue.
They cheered for preparedness the
loudest when Mr.. Hughes told them
that II meant not militarism, but abil-
ity to uphold national honor.
As they cheered for Mr.. Hughes,
one broad-shouldered old farmer said
ats because there's something about
him that makes you believe he's tell
ing the truth"

PERTINENT PARAGRAPHS
FROM HUGHES
SPEECHES.

"What is the Presidents pol
icy-does anyone know? Has
the Executive ever had a policy
for more than six months on
the Mexican question"
"If l am elected President l
will see to 1t that American
rights In Mexico are respected"
"There is no man who could
successfully present to an Amer
lean community the platform
that an American citizens
rights stop at the coast line"
1--WE will get through with
this old strife between capital
and labor. We are not laborers
and capitalists in this country.
We are fellow-citizens."
"All that the workingmen
want Is q square deal"
1--WE want the United States
efficiently managed. want to
see men In Office who believe
in prosperity"
1.-THE Republican Party stands
for a prosperity produced by
sound American policies"
1--WE have removed from Office
men Of experience and substi-
tuted others to satisfy partisan
obligations. This must stop"

HOME OF AVERAGE MAN.

But America is not simply q
land for the man Of special tai
ent or Of distinguished aptitude.
This Is the home Of the average
man, the ordinary man who Is
doing his best, whatever, by tai
ent or aptitude and In our large
Industrial occupations where
thousands are gathered together
In one service, we want recog-
milton of human brotherhood In
providing for the welfare of
those who make the wealth OF
this great country.
"We want workingmen to be
safeguarded from every injury
that can be prevented. We
want the health of the work
ingmen looked after; every
means provided which conduces
to the proper standpoint OF iv-
ing; every means provided for
proper recreation; appropriate
means for education, for vocar
tonal training. In short the
workingmsn who is on the Job
and expects to continue In that
job ought to feel that he is doing
something worth while for
community that appreciates II
and gives him a fair chance to
lead q happy and decent life

THE RIGHTS OF AMERICAN
CITIZENS DO NOT STOP
AT THE COAST LINE.

when 1 say that | am an

you can't have that pride If

DRIME HOT WAITER
IF YOU DESIRE A

Says we cant help but look
better and feel better
after an inside bath.

To look ones best and feel ones best
Is to enjoy an inside bath each morn
ing to flush from the system the pre-
vtous days waste, sour lamentations
and poisonous toxins before IL Is alb
sorbed into the blood. Just as coal,
when II burns, leaves behind a GER
tain amount OF incombustible material
in the form OF ashes, SO the food and
drink taken each day leave In the all
mentary organs a certain amount OF
indigestible material. which II not
eliminated, form toxins and poisons
which are then sucked into the blood
through the very ducts which are in
tended to suck In only nourishment
to sustain the body.

Men and women with sallow skins,
liver spots, pimples or pallid COM
plexion. also those who wake up with
a coated tongue, bad taste, nasty
breath, others who are bothered with
headaches, bilious spells, acid stomach
or constipation should begin this phos-
plated hot water drinking and are
assured OF very pronounced results In
one or two weeks.
A quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate costs very little at the drug
store but Is sufficient to demonstrate
thatt Just as soap and hot water
cleanses, purifies and freshens the
skin on the outside, so hot water and
limestone phosphate act on the inside
organs. We must always consider that
internal sanitation Is vastly more I'M
portant than outside cleanliness, be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, while the
bowel pores do.

Senator Lewis, defending the Presi-
dent on his "too proud to fight" ex-
preston, intimates that it was due
solely to the ignorance of his audience
that the popular Interpretation that
has been put upon it was evolved, and
that anyway IL didn't mean what IL
appeared to mean. The latter state
ment can be taken with some degree
of confidence, as 1t is quite we'll
known fact that most of the things the
President says do not mean what they
are supposed to mean.
Secretary Redfeld has presented
another of those living illustrations of
the old adage that fools rush I'm

important modification. The differ
ence In the Secretary's case is that he

Through the portals opened wide,
Angels came and softly lifted
The sweet spirit home to the other side.
