people to be neutral even in thought"
undecided between right and wrong.
While our friends abroad were fighting
for the principles we held equally with
ease were better than self-respect.
President Wilson has done cur Nation
the most serious injury that any leader
can do to any people by making US
finch with him from a great moral
decision. Thereby he weakened our
hold as a nation on the principles which
alone can make any people self-respect-
ing, safe and strong.
Having led US wrong on the ground
that we must be neutral in the face of
the deliberate breaking of the worlds
peace, he has just reversed himself
again, and in his speech at Shadow
Lawn now assures US that "No nation
can any longer remain neutral as
against any wilful disturbance of the
peace of the world"
IL 10 DeaO ClIOuBH Iudl W llSOu 1OlClB II
policy has left US without a friend
among the great nations of the world,
and without the respect of any one of
them. What is worse is that he has
kept US from standing up for what we
know to be right.
The ignoble standard of profit owe r
principle which Mr.. Wilson forced upon
the country in our foreign relations, he
has applied to himself as President. In
what he has said, done, andileft!undone,
the record shows him steadily domlnat-
ed by political expediency.
These facts, and many others like
them, have forced me to see that what
Mr.. Wilson says is no sign of what he
has done, or of what he will do. The
one thing his record shows is that what
he stands for now he is not likely to
stand for long. l do not care what his
platform or his campaign declaration
may be, sbecause the common expert
ence OF US all has taught US that to him
they are simply "molasses to catch
flies"
Hughes, on the other hand, is man
of his word. His record as Governor
of New York proves that 1t shows
him to be honest, fearless, and free
from the domination of special interest
and corrupt politicians. So far as the
Conservation policies are conce rned,
both what he said and what he did could
hardly have been better | am con-
fident that under him these policies will
be safe. He is strong man who will
dodge no moral issues, and he will give
US an honest and an efficient admins
tration.
AS Progressive believe in Nation
alism. So does Hughes. | am certain
that under Hughes the progressive
policies will fare better than under
Wilson, and that the safety, honor, and
welfare of the country will be in i'm
measurably surer hands.
can not vote for Wilson because
can not trust him. He does not do
what he says. Hughes does. There
fore my choice is Hughes, and | shall
work and vote for him.
Very truly yours,
CLIFFORD PNCHOT.

Editorial Comment.
Bryan butts, Wilson tuts.

Bryan butts, Wilson tuts.
Watchful waiting maketh woeful
wanting.
Candidate Hughes doesn't talk like
a tut-tutter.
Hughes is hammcring and the Demo
Gratis are yammering.
The Wilson Administration stands
for taxes. and more taxes.
The Hughes trail Will be cold by
the time the Democrats strike it.
As party leader, would it be fair
to refer to J. Ham Lewis as J. Pork
Lewis?
Can the folks on the Democratic
band wagon continue to play by the
Presidents notes?
Bryan says Mr.. Hughes talks aren't
judicial. No. The people can under
stand 'em perfectly.
Hughes says the country can't be
saved by letting it drift That's where
he and ". Wilson differ.
Washington reports that a new apol-
ogy has been sent to First Chief Car
rama. Looks like Il habit.
Mr.. Bryan is mistaken when he says
Hughes is 'vitriolic." The candidate
is merely applying the acid test.
Political opponents are beginning to
find that why Mr.. Hughes kept silence
SO long wasn't because lie had lost his
tongue.
Another encouraging feature about
our new navy is that when it is COM
pleted Mr.. Daniels viii not lie secre-
tary Of it.
Having discovered that the Demo
Gratis don't like what he is saying, Mr..
Hughes doubtless is convinced that he
is on the right track.
\ bond issue by the Wilson admin
iStration is merely Uncle Sans note,
and the best thing Woodrow Wilson
does is to write notes.
Mr. Mccormick follows the same
method in claiming credit for leSisla-
ton as he does in his predictions. He
includes several acts of the Taft ad-
ministration.
The Democratic press is convinced
that it is the duty of Mr. Hughes to
say something that will hurt his
chance of being elected.
President Wilson in his acceptance
speech may reply to Mr.. Hughes
charges, but he will not answer them.
That is an entirely different matter.
\ messenger Of President Wilson
found out that Colorado women were
for the administration. No messenger,
of course, can be blamed for making
good.
1t is reported from Washington that
the administration will ignore most
Of Mr.. Hughes charges. That is very
much the easiest way for it TO answer
them.
President Wilson will not make any
speaking dates, we are told. but only
separate engagements for addresses,
considering a speaking tour" undigni-
fed. Too proud to fight"
Tammany Leader Charles I. Murphy
announces that he will retire after the
campaign. 1t is believed that many
other more or less distinguished Demo-
Gratis will follow his example.
Governor Hughes announces in one
of his speeches that he is a construc-
zionist. But we are willing to admit
that so far as Democratic policies are
concerned he is destructionist.
President Wilson will be notified of
the Democratic nomination at Shadow

Grover Cleveland was the last Demo
cratic president. He was also the last
president TO issue bonds to secure
money to defray the running expenses
of the government. But Wilson will
tie him in this.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1916-09-14

President Wilson will be notified of
the Democratic nomination at Shadow
Lawn. This seems a most appropriate
place for letting him know that he will
shortly have to give up his place in
the sun

NEUROLOGICAL.

Faithful old Gid Vaughan is no more.
Weighted down with years and the in6rm-
tiles of life he passed to that bourne from
which no wanderer e'er returned.
He passed away Teusday night, the ex-
act hour of which we did not learn.
For several months Gid had been grad
ually failing in health and had he lived
through the winter it would have been al
most a miracle. For about three weeks
he had been confined to his home and
kind friends ministered to him and saw to
it that he wanted for nothing.
He was an old and familiar landmark in
in Ducktown and as near as we can learn
he lived the allotted three score and ten
years. If he had any relatives we have not
been able to locate them, but his friends
we're legion he was everybody's friend.
Before he died, he expressed the wish
that all the school children attend his fu-
neral and when the procession started for
the church the body was followed by 1872
children al d their teachers.
Every wish that he expressed regarding
his funeral was carried out, even to the
tolling of the bell the required number of
times.
Rev. Snavely, in the absence of Rev.
UIm, preached the service and large
congregation gathered at the Baptist church
as mark of respect to one whom they all
knew.
Many Of the business houses closed
during the funeral service and real sor-
row was expressed over the passing Of one
who had been familiar figure to them for
so many years.

NEW ACCEPTANCE CREDIT
TO FRANCE NEARLY READY
Amount May Reach Aggregate of 500,
000,000-Rate of Six Per Cent

NEW YORK. Oct 20.-The Guaranty
Trust Company the Bankers Trust Com
pany and William p Bonbright & Co have
virtually completed negotiations with the
French Government for an acceptance
credit which may reach an aggregate of
SlOO,OOO,000 although the amount has not
yet been definitely determined. The rate
OF discount, together with a small commits
sion that Will be paid TO the banks accepting
the credit, will be slightly above per cent
IL was stated this morning that the bills
VIII be drawn exclusively for export busl-
ness and therefore will be available for
rediscount or sale to the Federan Reserve
Bank. The acceptance differs somewhat
from other similar transa ctions In that the
loan will embrace between 25 and 90 French
manufacturing firms. including several i'm
porters. These concerns will draw their
bills on American banks for such amounts
as may be called for from time to time and
they will be accepted by each American
institution upon which they are drawn to
the extent OF that banks participation in
the transaction. II is expected that from
80 to 80 American banks will be parties
to the transaction.
An important factor in connection with
the loan is that In addition to each bill
drawn being secured by the property and
assets of drawee. 1870 per cent of the face
value of the credit in French treasury
bonds are to be deposited with the Guaranty
Trust Company. Therefore. the loan is alb
solutely safe because of the double security
back of IT, II will be a strictly banking
transaction, no individuals being permitted
TO participate by reason of the character of
the bills drawn renewal privilege etc.
