death bed conversion of Mr. Wilson
experienced only on the eve of the
national election, as shown in the case
of the duty on dye-stuffs and the crea-
ton of a tariff commission, does not
deceive him in the least regarding the
attitude of the Democracy on this
question which he regards as a funda-
mental in the economic structure of
the nation. The press reports on Mr..
Hughes speeches in the west have
been somewhat meager, but none who
have heard him or read the actual text
of his speeches can have the slightest
doubt as to the Importance which Mr..
Hughes attaches to the question of a
tariff adequate to protect American
industries and American worklngmen
from the competition of foreign pro-
ducers and manufacturers. On the
Pacific coast where, despite the Eu-
ropean war. the effects of Japanese,
Chinese aud Canadian competition
made possible by the Underwood bill
have been sorely felt, Mr.. Hughes

utmost enthusiasm.

Daniels True 60 FOrm-According
to reports from New Hampshire and
Maine. Josephus Daniels is running

Portsmouth Navy Yard. Republican
workmen, residents of both states,
assert that system of espionage has
been adopted which is designed to in
timidate them at the polls. They in
sist every effort will be made to mark
the men who vote the Republican tick
ct the Maine election, and that all who
voted in the Republican primaries In
New Hampshire on September 8, have
been marked, and that there are
broad limitations that those who are
not loyal to the party In power Will
feel the results when employees are
laid off, after the election. There has
never been an opportunity to exhibit
favoritism or show hostility to those
not loyal to the party in power" in the
Navy Department which Secretary
Daniels has failed to avail himself Of
for which reason the contentious of
the operatives in the Portsmouth Yard
are received with more credence than
they might be otherwise. AS Col.
George Harvey says: "A vote for
Wilson is a vote for Daniels"

Hughes spoke right out in meeting
again at Lexington, Ky, following his
first denunciation of the railway wage

spirit abroad in these recent days IN

the spirit that demands legislation in
advance OF investigation. 1t is the
spirit that demands Executive action
and Legislative action in advance OF
an examination of the facts ON which
such action should be based 1t is the
spirit which says 'Legislate now and
investigate afterwards. 1t is the spir-
II OF force. II is not American" Mr.
Hughes does not purpose to permit the
American public TO forget that Presi-
dent Wilson has betrayed the cause OF
arbitration, and sacrificed fundamen-
tai principle Of Americanlsm to the
fancied promotion of his own political
fortunes. That by his course Mr..
Hughes has injected a new ana pow

to create the impression that there are
no real issues in this campaign; that
President Wilson has done well under
trying circumstances and that no
cogent reason for making a change
can be presented. According to Chair
man Wilcox, there is an abundance
of issues. They can. he says, be all
summed up in Hughes epigram,
America first and America efficient"
"Under President Wilson, America has
never been first, and America has been
woefully Inefficient says Mr.. Will
Cox" America first means that the
lives and property of Americans will
be protected in every land and every
cline. II means that the interests of
the Nation shall not be sacrificed to
what the President may regard as the
political welfare of his party and his
own reelection. America efficient
means that this nation will protect it's
citizens and maintain their standard
of living by an adequate protective
tariff. Ii means that the revenues
needed to carry on the Government
will be raised without the imposition
of burdensome taxes on industry and
OH the people generally 1t means that
public servants, whether they are to
represent this country in foreign capt.
tells or in the great domestic instru-
mentalities of the Government, will
be chosen because of their ability to
perform their duties expeditiously and
creditably, without burdening the pay
rolls with three lncompetents where
one efficient man could do the work
and not chosen simply with view OF
furthering the political fortunes of the
occupant of the White House. Mr.
Hughes epigram means that when any
group or organization Of citizens shall
demand that their interests be con-
sidered before those of the people as
whole and special legislation enacted
for their benefit, without investigators
or elaboration. the executive shall
put America first and not betray the |
cause of arbitration and compel Con-
gress to surrender its responsibility as
a deliberative body, simply that he
may gain the votes of a certain section
OF the body polite. In a word, Mr.
Hughes stands for America first and
America efficient, while the Demo
cratic candidate stands for Wilson
first and political expediency That is
the issue OF this campaign"

Hughes the PrOtectlOnlst-At Kan
sas City, as at other points along the
line of his present tour, Mr.. Hughes
has made 1t plain to his auditors that
he regards the tariff as a real, funda-
mental issue of this campaign. He Is
conviced that Immediately peace is de-
clared in Europe the United States
will be confronted by a competition
with which II cannot cope unless be-
fore that time the Underwood tariff
law shall have been radically re-
yised. He has declared that the Dem
ocratic policy OF tariff for revenue
only" is ruinous TO this country even
under normal times. and that under
the conditions which will prevail fol-
lowing the war II will prove trebly

that should the war end before the
