Collectors of campaign funds for the
Democratic national committee are
using the argument that since the
South has been a very large gamer by
Democratic administration, there
should be large contributions from
that section of the country. Sure. If
the South is at all grateful, it will put
up the larger part of the fund. The
administration has SO manipulated
revenue legislation as to place the tax
burden chiefly on the North, and has
spent the government funds largely
in the South. 1t is difficult to under

now by the fact that over his head
flies the Democratic flag. which in the
stress OF a presidential contest they
prefer to the nag Of their country.
But can not take such q narrow.
partisan view Of my responsibility ~
an American voter. We are passing
through one Of the most tremendous
crises in world history. Tempest
weather is still threatening. Even the
signing Of a peace concordat in Eu-
rope may increase rather than dimin-
ish our national difficulties by precip.
itating a revolutionary tumult that
will rival the war in its world -convul-
sing consequences. In any event the
end Of the war will bring momentous
economic and international changes.
II there was ever time when the
United States needed wise, strong, and
steadfast statesmanly guidance, it is
in these destiny-fraught days.
Fortunately. In the midst Of our
national anxieties and bewilderment
one rock Of assurance rears its head.
1t is the figure Of that courageous,
and for-the-right American
statesman, Charles Evans Hughes.
He is a tried and proved certainty
is the tribute which was paid to him
by the Democratic New York World
over eight years ago.
mo one has ever accused him OF
rhapsodizing or trimming In the pres
ence Of grave public perjls. No one
has ever questioned his intellectual
conscientiousness.
He owes all Of his national prom
inence to the independence. the d.
rectness, and the unhasting thorough
ness of his political action. Never in
all his public career bidder for pop
ularity, he has nevertheless been taken
up by the people and advanced to the
highest official position. BY conse-
quence, his career is ono Of the great
examples, one Of the great inspira-
tions, Of our country. All Of which
goes to prove that he has the quality
Of a representative mind-the mind
Of a real leader to whom the people
instinctively turn in time of national
need.
Il shall therefore vote for Charles
Evans Hughes with the same patriotic
confidence that voted for Grover
Cleveland"

Why a Democrat Opposes Wilson.

Democrats were considerably dis
turbed few days ago when Congress-
man J. w. Fordney Of Michigan,
placed in the Congressional Record a
long and vigorously worded letter writ
ten by Mr.. Louis E. Rowley. Of Lans-
ing, Mich. who was an ardent sup
porter Of woodrow Wilson in 1912 bu:
who viii support Charles E. Hughes
in 1916. A portion Of the letter reads
as follows:
Speaking as q Democrat. 1 would
not give my vote to indorse such a
record as the present administration
has made II Thomas Jefferson had in
dorsed it q thousand times. I say it
sadly. but in many respects Woodrow
Wilson has been the most undemocra-
tic President the country has ever had
-undemocratic4 alike in his temper
and in his conception Of the function
of his Office.
II q Republican President had done
the arbitrary. inconsistent, and in
credibly maladroit things which
woodrow Wilson has done from the
very outset Of his presidential career,
the Democratic leaders and press
would long ago have united in q deaf
ening demand for his summary I'M
peachment as an intolerable dictator.

Fakes by Daniels and Others

At Rockland, Me, Wednesday, Sec
retary Of the Navy Daniels said that
bids had been advertised in Wash
ington to-day" for the construction
of IS warships under the new naval
building program. These include four
dreadnoughts Of the most powerful
type to be. mounted with 16-inch
guns. An extra force Of draughtmen.
he added is working out plans for
four battle cruisers to cost $20,000,OO
each and detailed plans are being
made for a number Of scout cruisers
and destroyers with a 35 knot speed.
Secretary Daniels expressed the hope
that the bids of private contractors
would be low enough to permit much
Of the new work to be placed in their
hands.
Early in the summer the Portland
Argus demanded to know the meaning
of certain public charges that the
present Democratic administration in
Maine was a ''do-nothing" admins
tration. We politely furnished our
Portland neighbor with a few facts
concerning those things requested by
the people. ordered by the Legislature
and neglected by the executive de-
partment Immediately the State sat
up and took notice and more questions
were asked The Governor and others
fumed and fused and pretended but
the facts were in full view and re-
fused to vanish. Then the admins
tration eot busy in half dozen direc-
tions. Bids for this and for that,
work that ought to have been COM
pleted or we'll under way. were adver-
tised for.
In State and nation the cases are
strilsingly similar-all the days Of ad-
ministraticn down to the campaign
passed in making places for 'deserv-
ing Democrats" then the rush to make,
a show of having done something by
pointing to what I'VE are going to do"
With all the world on the ragged
edge of war, and half the population
OF the globe already embroiled, it has
taken two years of hammering to
arouse the Democratic national ad-
ministration to a half sense Of its
duty. Now the cabinet ministers go
about the country and boast Of what
WE" are doing.
Ditto in Maine-and Manager Pat
tangall wants to know how Governor
Milliken can do any better.
Secretary Daniels proud boast"
that the naval bill just passed pro-
vides for the greatest increase Of tho
navy made in any administration. ana
his obvious effort to create political
capital thereby is highly Interesting
when the facts Of the wilson Daniels
administration are recalled. More
than four months after the great Eu-
ropean war had started, Daniels. after

consultation with President Wilson.
tossed aside the accommodation Of
the Navy General Board and recon-
mended to Congress the absurdly in
adequate program Of two dread
naughts. six destroyers and eight or
more submarines, one Of them to be
Of seagoing type. A year later. DAN
iels recommended continuous pro-
gram of two dreadnaughts and two
battle cruisers in 1917, two battleships
in 1918 and two battleships and one
cruiser in 1919. And this recommen-
dation was made only after a storm
Of popular indignation had swept over
the country.
Credit for the extensive program
which has been adopted does not be-
long to Woodrow Wilson or Josephus
Daniels: but to the American people,
who have made known their disgust
with the Wilson-D Daniels peanut pol
icy in no uncertain tone, and have
actually made their wishes regarding
the navy felt through their represen-
tatives in the two houses Of Congress.
It is noteworthy, moreover, that even
at this late day many Democrats IN
the House voted against the present
program-which provides for 10 battle
ships and SIX battlecruisers in three
years, the keels Of four battleships
and four battlecruisers to be laid at
once-provided Mr.. McAdoo's juggling
Of Treasury funds does not prevent
and Rep Kitchen, Democratic leader
Of the House, pathetically explained
that in fighting for little navy he had
been carrying out the orders OF Pres
ident Wilson and Secretary Daniels,
charging them with having betrayed"
the Little Navy men.
