WHY HUGHES is NEEDED IN
THIS TREMENDOUS CRISIS.

Against Mr.. Wilson's combina-
ton of grace In elocution with
futflity in action; against his
record of words unbacked by
deeds or betrayed by deeds, we
set Mr.. Hughes rugged and I'M
compromising straightforward
ness of character and action In
every office he has held. We put
the man who thinks and speaks
directly, and whose words have
always been made good, against
the man whose adroit and facile
elocution is used to conceal his
plans or his want of plans. The
next four years may well be
years of tremendous national
strain. Which Of the two men
do you, the American people,
wish az the helm during those
four years; the man who has
been actually tried and found
wanting. or the man whose
whole career in public office is
guarantee OF his power and
good faithl But one answer Is
possible; and It must be given by
the American people throughout
the United States.-Fron speech

livered at Lewiston, Maine. Tn
behalf Of Charles f. Hughes.

Who Wants an Auto IL 49,

A Milwaukee assemblyman is pre-
pairing to introduce during the coming
legislative session, a bill providing for
an automobile license fee of S25 per
year. The author of the bill does not
want to be understood as trying to
curb autoists or hurt the business but
declares emphatically it is for the
good of car drivers, Two million and
more dollars would be raised in Wis
consid by such a TAX and it is his idea
to put this into permanent road fund,
In five years Wisconsin would be Cow
cred with good roads kept in repair
and his idea is that such state of
things at an expense of one hundred
dollars in five years would mean saw
ing OF greater sum of money in tire
expenditures, gas and oil, Probably

THE Democrats, facing now the stu
alton which every one knows will exist
at the close Of the European war, have
attempted TO quiet the fears of the
farmers and the business world by
their so-called tariff board, costing

what tariff board may recommend,
but whether Congress elected next

We are DESTROYS of having strong
