An Endorsement of mr. .Auohes

An Endorsement of Mr. Hughes
 The Providence Journal independent paper, has been friendly the Wilson administration and its support of the president in the coming paign rather expected. But it hastened mmedi ately after the nomination of MT. Hughes dspel that expectation
 The Journal is perhaps the foremost of the anti German newspapers in this country. Its managing editor, Mir. Rathom, has been very close to the ad mnistraton and he has been charged by pro- German papers with being between British embassy and the White House whose friendness Great Britain has never for a moment been concealed therefore have occasoned surprise when the thus announced it's position:
 Exercising it's function as an independent news paper and believing that the that should be applied to the approaching campaign for the presi- dency the security, sef-respect and progress of the United States, the Providence Journal unhesi- tatingy declares it's preference for Charles E. Hughes
 Patriotism, integrity and fearlessness, good judg- ment and hatred of shams-these are the attributes of great leaders of men, and Mir Hughes possesses them in large
 We have frankly stated that in our opinion MT Hughes duty to remain a member of the supreme of the United States But without any effort suggestion his part, without any person present al the republican convention authorized to a word in his behalf. and with number of excellent candidates openly before that convention, he presented with the unanimous nomination of his party and was perforce compelled accept it.
 1t would be unsenerous and unjust not to aekno~I- edge that President Wilson's administration has been characterized by excellent and heathful egs- lation, for most of which he has been personally responsible. But his limitations, serious and often in- eomPrehensble, have led him into pitfali after another.
 He is a civil service reformer and has earnestly desired improvement in consular conditions. And yet he allowed the contemptible Bryan disgrace consular service, as 1t has never been disgraced in the previous history of the republic, with his hungry mob of deserving democrats"
 No could be more imbued with hatred of the damnabe plots the gandsts in this country than Mir. Wilson. But by reason of timidity sprnging from false belief that it good diplomacy to be blinded every crime of this sort until recognition forced him from the outside his policy has been direct invita- tion the Tedonic powers continue their attempt ed terrorization of the United States
 In MT. Wilson's dealings with the German gov ernment he has utterly failed to understand that language only take the place of a club when the offender realizes that there is a club behind the language.
 The shrewd calculating conscenceless brains that control the German foreign office dealing with honorable but vaclating man. have realized acty how far they could go without arousng him to real action.
 The gravest international questions of many gen. erations confront today. They will confront in quite as large measure at the conclusion of the European war They are confronting us not only the Atlantic but along southern border If any desires himself of the chaotic of d leadership lacking in courage and deter imitation let him ponder the shameful and humilating conditions that at this moment. crown MT. Wilson's Mexican policy"
 Meeting what be the chief and the only democratic argument against MT Hughes the Journal says:
 Administration organs. despairng of finding any real basis of criticism in Mir Hughes a didate, have hit with suspicious unanimty, the suggestion that he is an unknown quantity" Ap- parently these special peaders the people of country to believe that the five and half years spent by Mir. Hughes on the supreme court of the United States have made him. by trick of alchemy, a different being from the and brilliant personality that security to millions of policy holders in life insurance companies. Do these democratic newspapers seriously suggest that Mr. Hughes is in any weaker less responsive to the call of duty apt to be guided by professional politicians or treasury looters than he during his two terms as governor of New York?
 In conclusion. the Journal says:
 The Journals course in connection with inter- national matters during the past year and half been reasonably clear If for purpose, labor ing under some deusion, the majority of German hyphenates feel that MT Hughes is their man, such a conclusion does alarm us.
 Neither will loyal citizens feel that on this subject they have to take MT Hughes trust. He is a red hooded American and nothing else, and his record in public life entities him the respect and admra tion of all thinking voters.
 We believe that Charles E. Hughes is fitted by temperament by training, by unbounded courage by good and the power to express ant back the American ideal to lead the country al this period of it's history along path safety ant honor
 We believe that his election will be a salu tary and efficient notification every European gov ernment. long before he takes his oath of office tha the United States of America has found herself agair and that once more word is to become goo, as bond before all the nations of the world
 An Unprecedented Situation
