they had made as good an appearance
as the regulars az Fort Totten.

SEES REUNITED PARTY.

THE SUN The Sun accepts with alac-
rity the opportunity TO support for
President Of the United States man
like Charles Evans Hughes against
the man that Woodrow Wilson has
shown himself to be.
We believe with Theodore Roosc-
Welt that our present troubles with
Mexico are the direct result Of an
utter failure to prepare and Of our
governmental policy of almost unbe-
novable timidity and vacillation."
We hold with Colonel Roosevelt
that il would be crime against this
nation TO continue in power for four
wears longer the Administration thus
By him impeached.
Yesterday afternoon, Immediately
after writing his resignation as a
Justice Of the Supreme Court and re-
ceiving from the proper quarter the
acceptance Of the resignation, Mr.
Hughes gave to the public the text
Of his message to Senator Harding
accepting the Chicago nomination ana
indorsing the Chicago platform. In
direct force has declaration even
transcerds the platform.
II is statement of faith and in
tcntion so admirable in every partic-
ular, so strong and clear and COM
prehensive in its terms. and so man
ifestly sincere and straightforward,
that II it's substance had been pro-
mugated in advance Of the meeting
of the two conventions we do not SEQ
how any Republican or any Progress
siye could have doubted that the

scribed by Colonel Roosevelt had in

PREDICTS MOOSE MERGER.

THE PRESS Mr.. Hughes has been
nominated by the Republican con-
vention, and he has accepted. Colo
mel Roosevelt has been nominated by
the Progressive convention, and he
has not accepted.
This means 70 a dead certainty
the more positive action by Colonel
Roosevelt later Of a definite declina
ton, for at the moment OF his mes
sage that he could not accept at this
time he had not seen Mr.. Hughes's
letter OF acceptance. upon which he
made his final decision conditional.
But there is no doubt that Mr.
Hughes's acceptance. as this paper
reads and as the country will receive
il. will confirm Colonel Roosevelt in
his determination TO reunite the Re-
publican party in the purpose Of
taking the United States government
out Of the control Of the Democratic
party. so that the nations interest,
safety and honor may not be further
endangered
There will be no more OF the Pro-
eressive party as such In this cam
paign. But there will be a large and
vitality important body Of Roosevelt
followers in the Republican ranks,

been bestowed on Justice Hughes.
and has been named the standard
bearer OF the great party upon whose
restoration to power the future pros
pcrity and wcllbcing Of the country,

because the people are satisfied that
Hughes is q man whom they can
safely trust; because they have un-
limited confidence i'm his integrity, IN

powers. in his patriotic devotion;
because they are very sure that he
will make an efficient. broad minded,

THE WORLD. In nominating Justice
Hughes for President the Republi-
can party ha. paid to Woodrow Will
son the highest compliment It was
capable Of paying TO him.
II has selected az its own candi-
date the Republican who in the
popular mind most nearly resem-
bles President Wilson in character,
in ability. in temperament and IN
capacity for idcalistic public SER
vice. 1t has taken the Republican
Wilson to be its standard bearer
because IL did not dare take any
body who presented n contrast 70
tho Democratic Wilson. u has
brought the Supreme Court Of the
United States into politics, because
IL was afraid 10 nominate a candl-
date with a recent record Of oppo-
sition 70 the President. II has
named Hughes in the blind beliet
that history may repeat itself.
"The World" has the highest re-
spect for Mr. Hughes, as a man and
a public servant. There IS nobody
IN public life for whom We have a
higher personal regard, but we can
find no reason why he should be
elected President in place Of Wood
row Wilson We can find innumer-
able reasons why the sinister and
crooked and un-American interests
that are trying to use him for their
own purposes should be over
whelmed at the polls.

liability of a Roosevelt ticket elimi-
mated "The Eagle" regards Mr.

between this country and Germany
have unhestatlngly proclaimed their

CANDIDATE WITHOUT FEAR.

DETROIT FREE PRESS The Ropub-

able episode in American political
history, an episode probably without
precedent in the nations history

chosen by a great party as its can
Gidate for the Presidency Of the
United States who had made no cf-
fort whatever to win the honor, who
had not asked the nomination and
who had not solicited q vote directly
or indirectly.
Charles +. Hughes has unusual
qualifications both for the Presi-
dency and for the task Of leading his
party in the campaign to win the
Presidency. As candidate he is

WILL OF "REGULARS."

NEW ORLEANS TIMES-PICAYUNE.- -
BY nominating Justice Hughes for
the Presidency, the Republican Ma
tional Convention registered the will
of decent majority Of regular" Re
publicans.
The Hughes candidacy had grown
steadily in popular favor for some
months. Encouraged at first by the
"old guard" captains, who used il 10
block the Roosevelt movement and
expected then to swing the conyen-
ton to a candidate Of their own
choice, il swept beyond their control.
Colonel Roosevelt took it's measure
before his enemies did. and strove
maufully TO "hcad it Off" by a whirl-
wind campaign that was dramatic 10
the last degree. But the Colonel
either delayed his counter movement
too long, or overplayed his hand IN
the attempt TO force his own selec-
ton. The Republican delegates, il is
plain, resented his dictatorial atti-
tude and the fourishing OF the Pro-
Pressive convention as a club over
their heads.
