HUGHES HITS
At POLICY IN
PHILIPPINES
Republican Candidate ASSaiIs
Democratic DeSertion
Plan.

PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. II
Charles E. Hughes, before a large
audience here last night, assailed
the Democratic party for its policy
toward the Philippines.
I'VE cannot afford in this country
to lose sight of national obligations, "
Mrs Hughes said. our friends on
the other side were almost ready to
say that we should abandon the Phil
ippnes. That was matter of ma
tional honor. We assumed obligations
there which we are bound to dis
charge.
1T is not so much matter of self
interest. But when this nation un-
dertakes before the world respon-
swiftly it must discharge it.
"And we ought not to consider the
suggestion of scuttllng out of the
Philippines to leave them in the pre-"
dicament which you know perfectly
well without my describing it,"
Mr.. Hughes, in an address to the
Portland Advertising Club, in which
he advocated commercial prepared
ness for European competition
through the agency of protective
tariff, today branded as traitor to
his country the man who sought to
build up his private fortune at public
expenses.
The man who tries to get the bet
ter of the public for his private
purse" the nominee said, is a trait
or to the government. We will go
ahead and put these traitors out of
business while we build up the busl-
ness Of the United States"
The commercial problems which
the country will face after the war,
Mr.. Hughes said, will be greater
than ever before"

Sutherland Very Sure
OF Republican Victory

In some of the counties there are In
huentlal Democrats who are openly
proclaiming that they will vote for
Sutherland. 1t isn't questioned by any
one that he will receive the vote Of
his own party practically to a man,
AS 10 the balance Of the ticket, Con-
gresham Sutherland said today:
"Thc situation in the state as 1
found 1t looks bright for the Republl-
can ticket throughout. There isn't a
doubt in my mind but what the state
will bo carried by Hughes and Fair
banks by very large majority. Our
party voters are well pleased with the
national nominees and express ther-
selves to that effect with enthusiasm.
The opposition are loudly claiming
that they have good chance to elect
a governor. l certainly failed to find
conditions in our party to justify their
hope. Judge Robinson is gaining
strength with the voters daily, and SO
far as that particular situation is con-
cerned can say that 1t has improved
immeasurably, and predict that Il
will continue to improve until Judge
Robinson has behind him a reunited,
wide-awake and active party. That
will mean his election, of course. AS
to the rest of the ticket, there isn't
the least doubt in my mind of its suC-
cess at the polls.
II found that, so far as the rank and
file Of our voters are concerned, they
want to win, and that is healthy
sign Of a sweeping victory. with u.s.
when 1t is considered that the state Is
normally Republican by approximately
25,000 to 10000.

Not Plan to See the Conn.,

MANAGERS THROWN OVER
Flat Refusal on the Part Of the
Railroads to COnCede the
Eight-Hour Day.
my A,,eelA1rp As.D!


WASHINGTON, Aug. 17-Presl-
dent Wilson today invited the presl-
dents of the principal railroads OF
the country to come to Washington
Immediately to confer with him on
the threatened railroad strike. Pend
ing their arrival he does not plan "a
see the committee Of managers with
whom he has been meeting
The president sent the following
telegram to the leading railroad
presidents:
Discussion of the matters involy-
ed in the threatened railroad strike
has reached point which makes it
highly desirable that | should per-
sonally confer with you at the earli-
est possible moment and with the
president of other railways affected
who may be Immediately accessible.
hope you can make it convenient
to come to Washington at once. "
The presidents action is inter
preted to mean that the managers
committee has finally refused to con
cede the eight-hour day as the presi-
dents plan proposed, and the ques-
tion is now to be taken up with the
heads of the railroads themselves.
The situation as it stood today was
this:
The railroads fatty refused to con
cede the eight-hour day but are will
ing to arbitrate that question and all
others before any tribunal that may
be decided upon.
The men are willing to arbitrate
some questions under certain condt-
tions and are unwilling to arbitrate
others.
At o'clock this afternoon the
president will present his plan to
the full committee of $40 employees
in the hope of getting them to ap-
prove it. The result will be present
ed to the railroad presidents later.
Early this morning Secretary Tu-
multy telephoned to Daniel Willard,
president OF the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company, regarding the in
vitation to the railroad presidents to
come to the White House, and Mr..
Willard said he would do everything
possible to arrange conference.
May Invite FinancicS.
Among the managers it was point
ed out that the president had been
constantly advised of the negotiations
with President Wilson and that the
feeling prevailed that the attitude
OF the railroad heads was now the
same as the managers committee. al
though no one could forecast what
effect a personal conference with the
president would have. The railroad
presidents are expected to make a
strong plea for preservation Of the
principle OF arbitration and will eX-
press their fear that if the present
difficulty cannot be settled without it
there is little hope that it will ever
be successful in the future.
In case President Wilson finds that
any Of the railroad presidents cSn
not speak absolutely for their roads
he may invite to the White House
the financiers who control them. 1t

Again has the grim monster invad-
ed home and carried away the light
and joy and left behind only beau
tiful memory. Truly in the midst
of life we are in death. On last
Thursday evening June Is Mrs. Reu-
ben Bronaugh walked to spend few
hours trying to cheer the life of a
shut-in friend, Mrs. Steger. On Fri
day she herself was taken i'll and on
Monday was a corpse. What love-
ly ending for such Christ like life,
to be trying, to the very last to bring
cheer to some one needing her sun
shine. She was one of the most de-
voted of wives and fond and loving
husband who was always mindful of
her needs and wants and almost wor-
shipped her is left to feel utterly
alone and in years to come the mem
DRY of her sweet, quiet, gentle life
we hope will be the beacon light to
watt him homeward. AS a mother
she certainly was all that holy word
implies. Her children were her
treasures. She left nothing undone
that was in her power to train them
morally, spiritually and mentally for
life's warfare and to-day they are
bowed in grief over their great loss.
Home can never be the same, for the
one whose whole life was spent in
making it the happiest and most rest
full place on earth to them is not
there but in more perfect mansion
of light and JOY and peace. She is
radiantly beautiful, waiting with
outstretched arms to welcome them
to their home beyond and may father,
sons and daughters follow closely in
the way she walked and an unbroken
union be theirs, is the wish of all her
friends here. The funeral services
were conducted by Mr.. McClary, of
Stanford, in his most impressive
manner and his consoling words to
the grief stricken family contained
balm for their broken hearts. Mrs.
George Stevenson, Mrs. Robert
Thompson, Mrs. Bette Adams, Miss
Fannie Thompson and Messrs. Chas.
Buchanan and Bragg Thompson sang
two favorite songs of Mrs. Bro
naugh's-"Some Sweet Day." "a
Song of That Beautiful Land" and
Nearer My God To Thee" The
house and yard could hardly con-
tain the crowd of sympathetic
friends gathered to pay their last
tribute to this lovely woman's MEM
DRY. Beautiful flowers covered the
coffin in mute testimony of love and
after appropriate exercises at the
grave she was consigned to her last
resting place on the cemetery hill.
DR.. James Bronaugh and wife, of
Lexington, Misses Anna and Katha-
rine Bronaugh, Reuben, Jr. and wife,
Of st. Louis and Mr.. and Mrs. Tom
Hays Bronaugh were present and to
all of them we with every one in this
city wish to extend our heartfelt
sympathy in this dark hour, while we
point you to the only ray of light
that can illumine the darkness.

Club of Stanford and on behalf of
its readers and friends generally ten
ders their thanks and appreciation of
the magnificent entertainment af-

that no set of men, and no other or
ganization could have made the sue
cess of such a venture save and eX-
cept the Woman's Club. That they
have succeeded well, even beyond
their fondest expectations, will be a
source of satisfaction and pleasure
to everyone who understands the
whole-hearted spirit of unselfish in
terest and devotion to the good of
the community which these women
are manifesting in their every organ
lied endeavor. Second only to the
churches of the living God, the Wo-

good women who IS pioneers started
the work shall have gone to their re-
