VOTERS TURNING TO HUGHES

Campaign leaders in both political
parties fully appreciate the advan-
Ftage the Republicans have this year
in the fact that their national con-
vention was not dominated by any
individual or group. There is not
the remotest possibility of the
charge that bosses controlled the
Chicago convention. In fact, every
body knows that the great majority
of the delegates were chosen in
primaries where no dictation was
possible, and that in the convention
the men who have been recognized
as leaders in the past were support
ers of the various candidates, and,
though willing to accept Hughes
were not for him in the first in
stance. The Hughes nomination came
from a popular demand-not from
a dictator.
How different it was in the
Democratic convention, where all
the important arrangements and
many of the details were directed
by President Wilson, who selected
the presiding officers, designated
the men who should make speeches.
drafted the platform, and will di-
rect the management of the cam
paign. AS to managing the cam
paign there can be no criticism, for
it is essential that the candidate
shall have large control over that.
But prior to the nomination, when,
theoretically, the convention was
free to nominate any person it might
prefer, the action Of the president
in taking personal charge of every
thing was not only a slap at the men
who have been prominent in his
party but it was demonstration
of the one-man character of the
Democratic organization.
1t is already apparent that this
difference will have no small effect
upon the independent voters of the
country. The chief reason why some
men maintain an attitude of inde-
pendence of party affiliation is that
they dislike the implied obligation
to support candidate whose nomi-
nation has been forced by the pow
er of a dictator or of machine.
The independent voter turns most
easily to the Republican ticket this
year, and for several reasons. He
is impelled in that direction by "a
comparison between the man Wood
row Wilson and the man Charles
Evans Hughes in stability of char
acter, in solidity Of attainments. in
Of professions, in courage
Of performance, in loyalty to con-
science in the rectitude that "abides
in the heart and not in the larynx''
as the New York Sun recently said.

The financial report of the Unit
ed States treasury at the close of
the fiscal year, June 80, 1916, will
make no mention of the 100000, 900
or so which the government will
have to return to importers of goods
in foreign vessels, when the United
States supreme court upholds the
court of customs appeals in its de-
cision on the five per cent rebate
clause. This was silly piece of
legislation introduced into the I'm
derwood tariff law over the protest
of the Republicans in congress.

RoosEvELT's POSITION

The endorsement Of Hughes by
Theodore Roosevelt was eminently
characteristic of the man. Whatever
he does is with his whole soul and
when he endorsed Hughes it was
with no grudging approval but with
a wholeheartedness that shows that
he means just what he says. He not
only approves Of Hughes but he
approves of his position on Ameri-
canism and of his position as a man
safe and sane with definite views
as to the future of the nation. He
likewise feels that the country's
good demands a change of presi-
dents and that to continue the va
cillating course OF Wilson would be
a serious menace to our country's
future. He declares that wilson's
words do not agree with his acts
and that even his words are not the
same from day to day. His criticism
of the Mexican policy is one that
laws bare the weakness Of the ma
tion's course and it will appeal to
the country at large. His suggestion
that the Progressives' activity has
been for good in waking up the
party to q larger idea
Of service will not be disputed.
Roosevelt may be depended on to do
3 great service in the campaign
for what he does is done with all
bis force and ability.
