the child Of the second type develops

man OF letters. or the misanthrope,

3-Would you have declared
war or advised congress to de-
clare war on Germany after the
Lusitania tragedy; or would you
have prevented war as Wilson
did?
Would you have blocked
all efforts TO end the Payne
Aldrich tariff extortion against
which republicans all over the
west were protesting almost as
bitterly as democrats or would
YOU have aided temperate re-
form as Wilson did?
would YOU have left In
existence an archaic banking and

freeing our banks for extension
OF activities TO lands where
our commerce needed their
branches? Would you have
done what Wilson did. or not?
Candidate Faces Dilemma.
All constructive craftsmanship is
open to criticism on details. Mr..
Hughes disagrees: the Eagle has dis
agreed with many such details in the
Wilson record. Does Mr.. Hughes
antagonize the principles on which
Prest Wilson has acted That is
the great. broad question of the
hour. If he SAYS he does, that
| Huerta should have been recognized;
that Argentina and Brazil and Chile
, should have been ignored in Mex
lean ma tiers; that war should have
been declared against Germany;
that the Payne-Aldrich tariff law
should have been enacted, then the
issue is made. and il is an issue on
which Mr. Hughes would hardly care
TO go before the people on election
day. If ne bubbles or qualities, or
goes into details, he convicts him

that Wilson's principles were right,

1t is expected here that Carranza

tween Ambassador ArrendondO and

sures quick action.
Reports credited to American refu-
gees that two American sailors were
killed recently at Tampico when their
launch was fired upon by Carranza sol.

story was based upon an incident at
Tampico June rs or 26, when Carranza
soldiers fired upon privately owned
