Do You Want The Wilson Square

Interests?---ChOose!
His record is before the people. l,


His record is before the people. 1t
is one of service, and of achieve
ment; and that in the midst of the
greatest crisis that ever rocked the
! world.
The Republican candidate has an
| nounced no plans that can be crys-
talized into coherency and his future
can be forecast only by considering
the influences to which he owes his
nomination and that are behind his
candidacy
He has criticised the President g
policy OF neutrality; but has not
said what he would have done that
would have kept us out of war.
He has criticised the prepared
ness program that has been enacted,
but has failed to say in what re-
spect he would have it changed
He has stood for the dissolute and
murderous old assassin, who havin e
seized the dictatorship of Mexico,
wished to have America grasp his
hand in amity and encouragement,
and has lined up with the specula-
tive investors from this country who
would involve us in a war with the
republic TO the South of us; but has
not explained how he would have
proceeded under similar circum-
stances.
He has criticised the eight-hour
day law, but dares not say he would
have it repealed.
He has criticised the Federal Re-
serve Law. but will not openly avow
his preference for the Central Bank
that Wall Street so much desires.
He hasscriticised the legislation of
Democratic Congress in the inter-
est of labor, the Seamen's law, the
Workmenfs Compensation Act, the
Child Labor statute; but has refused
to say that as President he would IA
vor their repeal or their amendment.
He has Declared for Federal
Suffrage amendment as sop to the
women VOTERS of the West; but he
has not Impressed upon them the
fact that he himself did not VOTE
to give the women of his State the
ballot, nor that his party's platform
would prevent any favorable action
by a Republican Congress even
should he as President sincerely es-
The whole domestic policy, in
fact, of The Administration, meets
with hiss but there is
not one Single act that he will ac-
knowledSe he would have expunged.
1t is dlly when he reaches the
tariff, tfat Candidate Hughes is as
sertive: BEen then he does not say
what Shall be the character of the
tariff he Wonld substitute.
IN 1919 and again in 1912. the
America people repudiated the la
riff that der President Taft, the
Rem he eot1nt ttsy
Yet but sonlewhat in the
back kgrolfnd sof the campaign for
expedieney's sake-are the same
commanding figures, in Senate anu
House, who brought forth the last
Republican tariff law and would
frame the next one. Mr.. Hughes
may not know just exactly what sort
of tariff he wants; they know exact
ly what kind of tariff they will give
him.
You, Mr.. Voter, must decide.
Shall it be a reversion to the old
order, with the old methods and the
old purposes; or shall it be the new
order, with the new dawn and the
new era?
All that President Wilson and the
Presidents friends desire is that the
American people judge him fairly,
consider fairly what is best for them
selves, what is best for their cOun-
try, and the happiness of its people,
and how best they can serve humani-
ty and make the world better; and
VOTE ACCORDINGLY.
