POLITJKAL E.DDYTORIUL

AS we go to press with this ishue
of the Bugle we be standing on the
threshold, as we mite say of a great
presidenshial eIeckshion.
This a nouncement will probably
be turrible surprise to the mai
GRITTY of our subscribers who we'll
wager a new hat had went & clean
forgot all about this awful import
ant fackt. In fackt we had almost
forgot about it ourself until the
last minnit and if we went and al
most forgot it how much more liza
bull would Our more ignorunter
subscribers be to do so we ask?
Well sinst the fackt remains that
this is fackt it wouldn't be fitting
if we was to come out with this
ishue without taking our elokwent
eddytoriul pen in hand & dashing
off a red hot eddytoriul permitting
the chips to fly where they will
concerning this important which
only comes onct in 4 yrs or there
abouts regardless of climate, weth-
err or other things too numerous to
mentchion which is beyant hui
ming control.
For the benefit of our subscrib-
ers praps it behoofs us to diskuss
for a moment the merits of the two
politikal candydates for this great
offs which is the highest homer
within the gift of the American
peepul. There is two of them. One
is Woodrow Wilson, a demokrat
who has alreddy served one term
as presydent in the White House
at Washington & who desires to
be releckted which goes to show
that Woodrow ruther likes the re-
sponsibilitties which goes with
the office.
Tother candydate for president
is Mister Hughes a very estinable
gentleman and republican who is
willing to be eleckted to the presy-
dency pervided the voters desire tc
do so and if eleckted he has prom
isd to perform the duties of this
great offs to the best of his sever
al ability & who we ask could dc
emmy moren that?
AS to how you shall vote on e
leckshion day which amt very fun
away now emmy more we amt 60

ers. Some is of the opinyun tha

went to war when he had good
chanst to do so and sort of let this
great opportoonitty to git into trou-
bic with other nashions slip past
him sumbuddy ort to be eleckted to
the presidency who would git into
war. Then there is others who has
the opinyun that sinst Wilson has
been president for four years no
matter what he done he ort to step
down and out and give sombuddy
else chanst at it.
AS we have said before we don't
perpose to advise ennybuddy in
Bingville how to vote. You can
90 to the polls and vote according
to the dicktates of your own con-
shients as fur as we be concernd
and we will be satishde. In other
words we don't keer boot how you
vote OF for who.
As. a general rule we come out
in the Bingville Bugle afore every
presidenshial eleckshion and write
in favor of either one politikal can
dvdate or tother but this yr is a
excepshion to the rule. Heretofore
when the Bugle has stood up for
some partickler person for presy.
dent it has been on the grounds of
reprocitty. Generally we git some
politikal advertisements from eth
er the republicans or demokrats IN
this CO perceeding a presydenshial
eleckshion and this allus helps us
to make up Our mind which pres
vdenshial candydate the Bugle will
boost.
This yr however there wassent
envy politikal advertising come in
tall and as a result we amt
boosting either candydate. In fackt
we as eddytor & prop & every
think else conneckted with the Blu
gle don't keer a red cent whether
either or neither Hughes or Will
son is eleckted.
Them we mite say in concloo-
/ shion is our sentiments III a nut

Fairbanks, Burton, Weeks, Root, Sher-
man, La Toilette, Cummins and one or
two others were advertised by noisy
supporters. Roosevelt men-Progres-
sives and progressive Republicans
were at It early and late. They prob
ably made the greatest racket. Mr..
Hughes was unrepresented by merry
makers.
Career Of Justice Hughes,
Charles Evans Hughes fame rests
principally on HIS conduct of the in.
surance investigation and his career
as governor of New York state.
An iron will, incorruptible charac-
ter and remarkable reasoning ability
are characteristics commonly attrib.
uted to him.
Mr.. Hughes was born at Glens Falls,
n, Y, April IL, 1852. the son of a
Welshmap who had come to this coun-
try in 1856. gcs'':sGgs r. aSe
He graduated from Brown univer.
sity in 1851.
In 1882 he entered Columbia Law
school, New York city. He was grad.
uated two years later at the head OF
his class and became member of the
New York bar. .T-
In 1888 he entered the law firm of

First Attracts Attention.
He first attracted newspaper atten-
ton in 1905, when he became counsel
for the Stephens gas investigating
committee. Mr.. Hughes uncovered
the qualifications of the gas and cleo
trio light monopoly of the metropolis
and later assisted in framing several
legislative bills to bring relief to bad
conditions he had discovered.
In the same year started the IA
nous life insurance investigation
When asked to take up the work OF
counsel to the investigating commit
tee Mr.. Hughes declined. except on
condition that he be given free rein
and allowed to handle the probe
thoroughly.
The investigation lasted four months
and resulted in q revolution In insur
ance methods.
In the autumn OF 1905 Mr.. Hughes
was elected governor of New York
state by the Republicans. In 1910
President Taft appointed Mr.. Hughes
