ASKS MANY QUESTIONS
DEMOCRATIC TEXT BOOK PUTS
Fl QUERIES TO HUGHES.
Demands He Tell What He Would
Have Done in Wilson's Place and
Calls for Definite Stand on
the Future.

Charles Evans Hughes, Republican
nominee for president, is called upon
to answer q leading and pertinent
questions asking specifically what he
would have done had lie been in Presi-
dent Wilson's shoes during the latter's
administration, and, if elected, whas
he would do in the future relative to
critical problems which, he has evad-
ed or ignored in his public utterances.
Following is the list of questions as
they appear in the Democratic text
book:
l. Do you favor repeal of the fed
eral reserve act passed by a Demo-
cratic congress, recommended and ap-
proved by President Wilson, under
which the danger of financial panics
is forever banished from the United
States?
2. Would you have protested
against the violation of Belgian neu-
trality and have backed the protest
by plunging America into the Euro
pean carnival of slaughter?
3. Do you favor repeal of the rural
credits act, passed by Democratic
congress, recommended and approved
by President Wilson, which gives long
term credit at interest rates that
promise an annual saving of $15O.0OO,-
600 TO the farmers?
4. Would you have recognized Vic
toriano Huerta as president of Mexico?
5. Do you favor repeal of the Clay
ton antitrust act, passed by a Demo-
cratic congress and approved by Pres
ident Wilson, which overthrow the
principle that the labor of human
being is a mere commodity of COM
merce?
6. Will you, Mr.. Hughes, recon-
mend, and will the Republican party
in congress support law establishing
universal compulsory military service
in the United States?
Z. Do you advocate repeal Of the
IL
by Democratic congress, recommend
ed and approved by President Wilson,
which has given so much assistance
to legitimate business enterprise and
under which adequate protection
against unfair competition Is pro-
vided?
s. Mr.. Hughes, would you have
tried the policy Of diplomatic negO-
tiation as means of summoning the
moral force Of law and neutral opin-
ion to stop Germany's illegal use of
submarines?
9. Do you favor repeal of the
"porkless" good roads act, passed by
Democratic congress and approved
by President Wilson, for the develop
ment of rural highways?
10. Would you, Mr.. Hughes, have
broken relations with Germany and
sent our young men by the hundreds
of thousands to nameless graves at
the bottom of the Atlantic, or in Elan
ders, before the policy of diplomatic
negotiation had had thorough trial?
II. Will you undertake to repeal
the income tax, passed by Demo-
cratic congress, recommended and ap-
proved by President Wilson, which
places a Just share Of the burden Of
taxation upon those best able to bear
1t?
12. Do you favor violating neu-
trality and risking the future safety

A FINE TREATMENT FOR
CATARRH
Easy to Make and Costs Little.

Catarrh is such an insidious disease
and has become so prevalent during
the past few years that its treatment
should be understood by ALL
Science has fully proved that Ca
tarrh is constitutional disease and
therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Sprays, inhalers, salves
and nose douches seldom II ever give
lasting benefit and often drive the
disease further down the air passages
and into the lungs.
If you have Catarrh or Catarrhal
deafness or head-noises, go to your
druggist and get one ounce of Parmint
Double strength. Take this home
and add to it Il pint of hot water and
i ounces of granulated sugar; stir I'M
til dissolved, take one tablespoonful I
times a day
This will often bring quick relief
from the distressing head-noises,
clogged nostrils should open. breath
Ing becomes easy and mucus stop
dropping into the throat.
This treatment has slight tonic
action which makes it especially eff
fective in cases where the blood has
become thin and weak. 1t is easy to
make. tastes pleasant and costs little.
Every person who wishes to be free
from this destructive disease should
give this treatment trial.-Adv.
