 Opiate To Idealism.
 Since 1912 we have had four years of a policy which has been an opiate to the spirit of idealism. It has meant the relaxation of our moral fibre Horror of war, combined with a sor- did appeal to sclf-interest and to fear, has paralyzcd the national conscience We have been told that Americans, if they do not wish to be killed, should leave Mexico and should keep off the ocean; that to save a few American lives 1t Is not worth while to hazard the lives of American soldiers: that MeXicans should be allowed to spill blood to their hearts content: that the European war is no concern of ours; that even as between Belgium and Germany we should be neutral not only in act but in sympathy. Not once has President Wilson squarely placed before the American people the question which Abraham Lincoln rut before the American people in 1860; what is our duty? Not once has he appealed to moral idealism, to the stern enthusiasm of strong men for the right. On the contrary, Inc has employed every elocutionary de vice to Hull to sleep our sense of duty, to make us content with words in stead of deeds to make our moral idcalism and enthusiasm cvaporate in empty phrases instead of being re- duccd to concrete action. America as a nation has been officially kept in a pOSlllpll Oi llllllu liulilIlCliIC anu NOiu scl6shncss. America, which sprang 10 the succor of Cuba in 1898, has stood an idle spectator of the invasion of Belgium, of the sinking of the Lusitania, of the continued slaughter of our own citizens, and of the reign of anarchy, rapinc and murder in Mexico.
 Nevertheless believe that the Am crican people were ready for the same kind of appeal which was made to them by Abraham Lincoln in 1860, by the advocates of an honest currency in l906, by the advocates of the Span ish war in 1898, by the advocates of in 1900 But the appeal was not made. On the contrary, Mir. | Wilson invoked the spirit of timidity and sclishness. He made no effort to invoke the sense of duty. He put safety first" the immediate safety of the moment, to be obtained by from duty. He did not even put American rights first, still less did | he put American duty first.

didates for State auditor and tax com mission, respectively.
 There was a genuine welcome ex- tended to Mir. Campbell by the cattle men and the people of the town, and there was not person in the place that the man with the big hat" did not sec and shake hands with. The party remained in Seligman a couple of hours and journeyed on to Ash Fork where they spent several hours meeting the people informally.
 Ash Fork IS surprising even its own people this year by showing a registration two to one in favor of the Republicans. There is no local political condition which has brought about this change in party affiliation. and the Republicans there claim that the same relative strength of the two parties will be shown in the election
 Leaving Kingman the Campbell party visited Chloride, the Copper Giant mining camp, and other pre- cincts, and everywhere Tom Camp bells popularity was in evidence.
 It is freely predicted throughout the country traverscd by the Camp he'll party that the next governor of Arizona will be Tom Campbell and that he will have a State house filled with men who are supporters of his high ideals of public service.

TEDDY DEMANDS DEEDS, NOT

WILSON ADMINISTRATION PLAYED AS LACKING SLIGHTEST TRACE OF AMERICAN SPIRIT.
By Associated Press.

LEWISTON, Me, Aug. 3l.-Col. onel Roosevelt delivered his first cam paign speech in behalf of Hughes here tonight. He was enthusiastically greeted. He devoted his address to an attack on the administration and criticism of hyphenism and asserted it would be a grave misfortune to re-elect Wilson. His address follows:

Only One Answer Possible.

As between Mr. Hughes and Mir Wilson, who can doubt which IS the man who will with austcrc courage
 stand for the national duty? Mir Wilson's words have contradicted one another: and all his words have been contradicted by his acts. Mir. Will sons promise has not borne the slightest reference to his performance. We have against him in Mir Hughes a man whose public life is a guarantee that whatever he says he will make good, and that all his words will be borne out by his deeds. Against MT. Wilson's combination of grace in elo- cution with futility in action; against his record of words unbacked by deeds or betrayed by deeds, we set Mr. Hughes rugged and uncomprom- ising straightforwardncss 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 elo- cution is used to conceal his plans or his want of plans. The next four years may well be years of trcmend- ous national strain. Which of the two men do you, the American peo- rlc, wish at the helm during these four years; the man who has been actually tried and found wanting, or the man whose career in public office is a guarantee of his power and good faith: But one answer is possible: and it must be given by the American people through the election of Charles Evans Hughes as president of the United States.

Atty Nelson Withdraws.

Atty. j., A. Nelson, of this city,
who announced his candidacy a COT
pie weeks ago for the Office of state
representative has withdrawn his
name, and will not be candidate
this year for the Office. Owing to the
fact of Hon. H. p Nicholson, who
has served one term in the Office
making his announcement last week
for denomination to the Office, Atty
Nelson decided not to oppose him.
But two years hence, there is nc
doubt but that Atty. Nelson will be a
candidate, and will receive the solid
support of the narty. There is no
question as to his ability and if elect
ed to the office he will represent
Winneshiek in an able manner, as he
is made of the right kind of timber
and has hundreds of loyal friend )
throughout the county.

PRISONERS ESCAPE.
Two Men Arrested at Calmar ON SuS
piciOn Six Weeks Ago Break
Out County Jail.

VIM. Cross and Chas. Casey, two
prisoners who have been in the
county Jail for the past six weeks
made their escape some time early
Friday morning. The prisoners were
arrested at Calmar by Detective Graf
on Feb. IA and brought 10 Decora 4
the next day. They had committed
no crime at Calmar, but il is said they
were seen to jump from a coal car
by a railroad man, and somethin 2
was seen to drop from one of the
mems pockets. The Package was
found to contain cartridges. Detective
Graf was notified and he rounded
them up. One of the men was seen
to come out of building near the
round house and Detective Graf en-.
tered moment later and found a
big revolver. They were taken to De-
corah and were held as Migrants
pending the coming session of the
grand jury. No burglar tools were
found on their persons.
They escaped by saving two bars
off of one of the windows on the east
side of the Jail. A file was made
out of case knive they had used
at their meals. They sawed two OF
the upper bars, about IA inches long
and about q of an inch IN diameter
on the top part of the iron CRATES.
Then they made a rope out of the
bed blankets and looped it around
one of the lower bars in the window
and slid to freedom. One of the bars
cut was rusted and looked very much
as if it had been tempered with Ions
before.
The night the prisoners planned
on their escape was very dark and a
heavy rain was falling. The escape
was discovered by the sheriff shortly
afterwards and telephone messages
were sent the surrounding towns, but
the prisoners covered up their tracks
and made a clean getaway, and have
not yet been apprehended.
