SPEAKER CHAMP CLARK SAYS HE
"SHoT HIS BOLT, BUT MISSED
THE BULLS EYE"

BRUNSWICK, Maine, Aug. 10
Speaker Champ Clark opened the
campaign in Maine for the Democrats
today in a characteristic speech in
which he told of the accomplishments
of the administration and Congress un-
der the leadership of President Will
son. He also took note of the cam
paign tour of Charles e. Hughes.
Judge Hughes has made enough
speeches in this campaign to enable
intelligent persons to form something
approximating a correct judgment as
to his opinions on current issues sal |
Speaker Clark. "He has shot his bolt.
but failed to hit the bulls eye.
''It was universally conceded that his
speech at Youngstown, Ohio, in 1908,
was far and away the greatest Re-
publican speech made that year Com
pairing his speeches since he was nom
mated for President with his strong
Youngstown speech one is forced in
evitably to one of two conclusions:
First: That his pen and tongue
have lost their cunning measurably. or,
second, that he has nothing worth
while to urge against Democratic ac-
complishments or to propose as Re-
publican politices should Republicans,
by some miracle, win the House, the
Senate and the Presidency.
His speeches may be not unfairly
summed up as 'querelous> carpings' at
the splendid record of Democratic
Congress and Democratic Admins
tration. *
'He says that he is in favor of 'un-
diluted Americanism' So are we all,
God be praised He is not peculiar in
that respect
perhaps President Wilson has made
some mistakes. Perhaps the Demo,
cratic congress has made some. 1t is
safe to say that there never was a
President or Congress that did not
make mistakes, and there never will
be-simply because we are all human
Any astronomer with an adequate
telescope can find spots on the sun ;
but nevertheless and notwithstanding
the sun continues to light and warm
and fructify the earth.
Judge Hughes with his telescope is
hunting for spots on the Democratic
administration and the Democratic
Congress, but the people realize that
we have the most unbounded pros
perity that has blessed the land since
Christopher Columbus discovered
America, and that, Notwithstanding
the ancient and chronic seer of the
Republicans that we possess no power
of constructive craftsmanship, we have
in three and half years, placed uDon
the statute books more constructive
remedial legislation than the Repub-
licans did in twenty years-laws
which should have been passed four
decades ago. They are likely to con
clude to 1et well enough alone and to
continue the Democrats in power
"The people seem to have absolute
confidence in the pilot of tho ship of
state Woodrow Wilson. and arc not
likely to drcn him overheard in mid
ocean while the storm whips the wa
ters into fury"

WASHINGTON, Aug 19.--After an
hours conference with President Will
son this morning 33 railroad presi-
dents left the White House without
giving any indication that they had
abandoned the stand for arbitration
which their spokesman, President
Holden, of the Burlington told the
President was greater principle than
the question of the hours and wages
involved.
Meanwhile President Wilson gave
out a statement outlining his propos-
al for the concession of an eight nour
day and for a special commission t0
investigate the Brotherhoods' demand
for extra pay and over time and the
railroads contingent proposals. The
President said: "Tnis seems thor
oughly practical and an entirely far
program and I think the public has a
right to expect its acceptance"
The railroad heads gave no final
answer today and will continue to de-
Iiberate. They will see President
Wilson again, probably on Monday.
While the majority or them are un-
derstocd to be unyielding in their at
titude, the predominant report was
that some of them did not want to
hold out to a point of strike. In
his statement President Wilson said
the eight-hour day now had the sane
ton of society and should be adopted
as a wage basis even where the ac-
tual work cannot be done in eight
hours. He said the railroads which
had adopted it did not seem to suffer
any serious disadvantages and if nee
essary after trial under the pro-
posals which the brotherhoods had al
ready adopted the matter could be
threshed out again. In the confer
ence President Wilson told the rail
~ood rrpsidents if the strike comes
the public will not know where the
responsibility rests. ut will not be
upon me-" he said.
