CHARLES w. FAIRBANKS
DETRoIT's IMPRESSIONS OF A MAN.

Governor Hughes visit to Detroit opened the presidential campaign
omens of Monday W e would prognosicate an intensely warm, vivid and
humanity interesting period in the next few months.
Setting aside the auspices of meteorological conditions in this pro-
vision of the future-athough they are approved by numerous profess
sionaI augurs and by a host of commonaIty a weIL-we base this pro-
phecy o the characteristics of the candidate whose too brief stay with
US has been enjoyed by all with whom he came into contact.
The misguided individuals who have been expecting Charles e.
beat arr in for a shock that will make them think they have been hit by
n uninsuIated trolley wire. There is nothing cold about Mr.. Hughes,
Detroit has learned. He is about as intensely human a piece of hui
manity as W captured the hearts of a crowd, and the more people in
the United States he meets between now and November the nor
votes will be cast for him. AS a campagner he is a revelation. He
them.
And what his personality begins his remarkable powers of intellect
and utterance finish. He drives his points home with tremendous force.
What he says sticks. There are thousands of Americans today who
can reteIl every step in the arguments he made eight years ago on
the Bryan trust policy yet in 1908 Mr.. Hughes "a not especially a
prominent figure and there a no particular reason why his address
more than others should have remained clearly in the memory except
of others. They ar clear in his W mind first undoubtedly. He knows
precisely what he wants to say because he has reasoned it out before
he speaks it out Probably that has something to do with the ease
with which he conveys his meaning. But it is a very rare quality
he possesses in his ability to master subjects S % thoroughly is to make
the most abstruse simple to himself and his hearers. 1t is a quality
erinently desirable in a political candidate; it is infinitely more to be
desired lin the president of a great country like the United States.
thousands of people who have studied him at close range are convinced
that if he is elected president next November he will be a great presi-
dent of the greatest this nation has known, worthy tic stand in
history with George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, a custodian of
the republics fate to whom that fate may confidently be intrusted.
If that conviction is shared by the people of other states whom he is

Ao0e Ne the thought that,
as teachers in the Church, they had a
double responsibility-in respect to
both themselves and the Church. He
reminded them that the Lord had pur-
chased this Flock with the precious
blood of the Lamb of God, and that
this value in Gods sight should make
them willing to lay down their live~
for the brethren in any service which
they could render. He prophetieally
declared that of their own selves-Of
the Flock. and especially amongst the
Elders-men would arise who would
be DESTROYS of being leaders. and who
would not hesitate to produce a schism,
n division, to help along their ambition.

st. Paul also reminded the Elders
that his own course had been one of
great care over them and owe all the
Churches. In Verse 80 he reveals the
secret of his success as the Lords
servant. He constantly put into prac-
tice the Masters admonitions.

Charles e. Hughes, the Republican
candidate, recognizes an important
fact that Woodrow Wilson, the Demo-
cratic president, appears to have
overlooked-that the United States is
big enough to help Mexico out of the
condition of anarchy in which that
country is plunged and, by securing
order in Mexico, insure peace on
border.

Just as it is now obstinately shut
ting it's eyes to the need of indus
trial preparedness, for three years the
Wilson administration refused to see
the need of adequate military pre-
paredness. With war on u southern
border it was content to rely on a
regular army that could only muster
10000 available men and refused to
continue the established policy of
building up our navy. When the time
came for action, the country had not
sufficient troops to police the border
and this force has been supplemented
by a trifle more than n third the
war strength of the national guard. If
the national administration had had
the ability to interpret the signs of
the time military preparedness would
have been well under way instead of
barely begun.

The Elders knew of his work. his

from sin. BY calling attention to these

Although possessed of his physical
