lat once?
Third, Would you have urged upol
congress an embargo upon the ship
ment of munitions to the allies?
Fourth, Would you urge universe
compulsory military service?
Fifth, You are frank in stating thai
Huerta's morals were of no concern t.
America. Does this mean that YOU
would have recognized Huerta?
Sixth, As matters stand today
would you be in favor of intervening
in Mexico?
Seventh, Does your attack upon
Wilson's shipping bill mean that you
are in favor of ship subsidies?
Eighth, You speak enthusiastically
of the rights of the worker. Does this
imply that you endorse the Clayton
antitrust law and the Seamans bill, or
will you urge their repeal?
Ninth, What are your specific COM
plants against the Federal reserve
law?
Tenth, As governor of New York
you opposed the income tax amend
ment Does this antagonism persist?
Do you or do you not believe in paying
for preparedness out of a tax on in
comes, inheritances and munitions?
Eleventh, In the fall of 1915, pro-
posed woman's suffrage amendments
to the constitution of New York and
New Jersey were submitted to the vo-
tiers of these staets.
president Wilson made a special
trip from Washington to Princeton
to register, and another special trip to
vote for votes for women.
THE records of the board of cleo
tons for New York county fail to dis
close that you, Mr.. Hughes, either reg
istered or voted on this occasion.
Furthermore, the records show that
since 1910 you have wholly neglected
TO vote, the highest duty of citizen"
All in all Mr.. Hughes presumably
had very hard day in Nashville. He
got here this morning from st. Louis.
He might have thought it strange that
a flag flew to the breeze. Church
street was as dim and dismal as it is
every morning in the year. In fact, it
was mre so because it was labor day
and laborers were not rushing hith-
er and thither to their work.
Mr.. Hughes was to speak to the La
Dor Day celebratin in Glendale Park
but the promoters informed him that
they did not expect a political speech.
Mr., Hughes didn't go. Instead, the
crowd there heard a speech by George
L. Barry, president of the Internation-
al Printing Pressmen's Union. Mr..
Berry came forward with some more
questions for Mr.. Hughes to answer
for the laboring man.
In the afternoon Mr.. Hughes spoke
to the negroes at Hedley Park. They
were all there. 1t was the blacklist
spot in this part of the country. He
made very short address there.
Somebody advised him fairly well, for
he let down his salutation with SIM
pie "fellowcitizens." Coming back
from the park, he rode in the car of A.
N. Johnson, a Nashville undertaken,
and was his guest along the way.
Late in the afternoon Mr.. Hughes
and Mrs. Hughes received Nashville
suffragists at the Hotel Hermitage
This went off all right until three
strange ladies appeared. These ladies
were not known to the suffragist del
egation. They are not known now.
But after greeting Mrs. Hughes, they
informed her that if they had a vote
they would cast it for WoodrowWilson.
For few minutes there were some
very disconcerting times in the recep-
ton line.
Mr.. Hughes declared for woman
suffrage.
1t was bad day for republicanism in
Tennessee.
