Charles E. Hughes, It's
Candidate, Proves He Is
Drawer Than His Party

The Hughes declaration for equal suf-
frage proves the Republican candidate to
be bigger and drawer than his party.
It proves, also. one of two other
things: either that he is politically moro
courageous than the Democratic candi-
date or that his conception OF the great
benefits to the country to be derived by
equal suffrage is clearer than that of the
Democratic candidate.
Wilson has never cared to go farther
than to concede state option IN giving
women a vote.
His party went no farther than that
in the st. Louis platform.
Hughes own party went no farther
than that in the Chicago platform.
It's candidate freely expresses HIS con-
viction that if equal suffrage is worthy
of endorsement by any particular state,
II is worthy of endorsement by the
nation.
He will be charged with seeking politi-
cal advantage.
His declaration will be deemed bid
for the votes Of women in the states
where women vote at the present time
and where they will have voice in NAM
ing the next president.
But this view will be taken only by
those who do not KNOW Charles Z,
Hughes.
It will be taken by those who are not
familiar with his record as governor of
New York.
1t will be taken by those who do not
stop to consider that for every vote ne
might gain by indorsing equal suffrage
he will lose two votes in what are known
as the liberal states, dominated by liberal
votes.

Those who would charge the Republi-
can candidate with playing politics in
this matter of equal suffrage, should con-
slider the fact that it was the consensus
Of opinion among the long party heads
in two national conventions this year,
that an endorsement Of woman's suf-
frage would NOT be wise political step.
These long heads in the Democratic
party did NOT consider it would be to the
advantage of the party to endorse wom-
ans suffrage even after the Republicans
had turned it down in Chicago.
The Times, having been the first daily
newspaper in the middle west TO declare
for the benefits of the mother interest in
sons to be expressed through the ballot,
knows well enough, indeed, that Charles
E. Hughes will LOSE votes rather than
gain votes by having had the courage to
express his convictions.
In the last campaign for votes for
women in Michigan The Times was favor
ed with the constant attendance Of a
Burns sleuth, whose dirty work expenses
were betrayed out of the fat fund raised
by the rummies to defeat equal suffrage
by hook. or crook. The crook spent the
campaign in shadowing The Times.
The Times knows the enemies Of wom-
ans suffrage.
1t knows how big and powerful they
are; how bitter and vindictive they are
and to what length they will go to even
matters with either a newspaper or q
candidate independent and fearless
enough to express an opinion that lot
of ills suffered by society today could be
corrected by the votes of women.
The morning Republican organ doubts
very much whether its candidate has
done the wise thing by indorsing wom-
ans suffrage, which view. however may
be merely the expression of counting
room sentiment provoked by the appear
ance In the same issue Of three fair-sized

Johnson was asked whether he
deserted from the United States
navy He did not admit this, but
said he left on the advice of superior
officers.
The three younger boys, Walter
and Wilfred Johnston and Roy Nc
Gettrick, all confessed to the crime OF
burglarizing the store. Each said he
was as much to blame as anybody.
They talked with the Judge before
Raymond came out with his story.
Boys Recommended For Parole.
Attorney Charles E. Phillips, who
appeared for the boys, recommended
that the three younger boys be
placed on parole. AS far as he knew,
they had never been in any such
trouble before. The two younger
Johnston boys had been faithful
workers for their father on his farm.
He was poor and needed their help.
The McGettrick boy had father at
Redwood Falls who was we'll fixed
financially and could give his son an
education.
County Attorney Schmitt re-
marked that the crime was such that
the boys could be charged with
burglary in the first degree, but he
thought the ends of justice would be
satisfied by merely entering the
charge of burglary in the third degree
against them.
Judge Comstock did not feel ready
to dispose of the cases today, so he
continued them all to tomorrow aft
ernoon at four o'clock.

Great Day For Knights of Pythias.
Today is a great day in Knights OF
Pythi&s circles, and the streets were
filled this afternoon with lodge mem
bers and candidates for the Bible
class, who f1ocked into the city on the
incoming trains. The visitors, who
hailed from practically every town in
the zone coverd by the Mankato lodge,
were met at the train by members of
the lookout committee and cordially
welcomed. They were then escorted
to Castle Hall, where they registered,
and were entertained by local lodge
members during the afternoon. This
evening the initiatory ceremonies will
take place at the armory, and the
work will be done by the Fairmont
degree team, which arrived this noon
with special scenery and electrical
equipment. 1t is expected that the
class that will be initiated will be a
record breaker as to size, as every
lodge member has been putting forth
his best efforts to bring in new mem
bers. The ladies of the Welsh church
have prepared an excellent dinner
which will be served in Castle Hall
this evening, beginning about five
o'clock, and continuing until all are
served. The Pythian Sisters will in
stall officers tonight, the ceremonies
to take place in Castle Hall, and the
day will be an important one in the
annals of the knights of Pythias
lodge.
