Of the veterans Gates, end .and Captain Black, left guard. have been out of the lineup nearly all the week, while substitutes In quick succession have been thrown into the rush line daily. Following Gates and Rosener. who began the season as ends, Comerford and Lynch and next Nichols and Connolly have been used for outpost duty
 Jones has given no indication, what ever of the final selectidn of the end pair. although the rapid Improvement of the third string set, Nichols and Connolly, has created the impression that they have live possibilities, all though the first two named pairs have been regarded as up to Yale's usual standard I

"As a true champion of arbitration President Wilson recommended that arbitration judgments be made records of a court. of law in, order that their interpretation and enforcement may not lie with the parties to the dispute but with an impartial and authorita tive tribunal It was his purpose to provide against future emergencies to what he nearly succeeded in doing in the White House conferences would put such face upon the matter that prevent the recurrence of such dangers as then confronted him and the coun try. 1t

PRAISES WILSON'S STAND
 IN BEHALF OF SUFFRAGE

The action of ithe National Woman Suffrage association at Atlantic City, N. J., in rejecting by an overwhelming vote the proposal to make the suffrage movement a partisan annex of the Republican campaign was further emphasized by Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, 'the sage of sui frqge," in an interview published in the Philadelphia Press, a stanch Republican organ.
 "The Jresident in his speech to the convention promised all be could carry out" said Dr. Shaw. eff he had promised more we would have known that he could not carry it out. 44
 Not the Republicans alone. nor the Democrats alone, can bring suffrage. If it could be done that way would favor it. But it can't. We must get enough Democrats and Repub- licans together to do It."

HUGHES DODCES ISSUE 1. ON EIGHT Fl HOUR LAW
Attacks Wilson's Plan, but Won't Say What He Would Have Done.
ONLY WAY TO AVERT STRIKE.

Republican Nominee Is Asked to De-
 clare if He Would Have Vetoed the
 Bill With the Certain Assurance of
 Industrial Disaster to the Country.
 So busy has been Charles B. Hughes criticising the deeds of the Wilson ad- ministration that he hcs had little time to tell or has purposely evaded telling the public what he would have done had he been president under sim liar ciL cuIAstances. &
 Lately Mr. Hughes has turned his attacks upon President Wilson's sue cessful settlement of the crisis in the railroad world by causing to be passed by congress the .Adamson eight hour bill. Mr. Hughes has characterized this action as surrender to force; he is opposed to being dictated to by any power on earth before tie facts are known and he would not act un- til he had had "a flair investigation and candid treatment"
 Taking issue with the Republican candidates attitude, the New York Times in an editorial asks: What would Mir. Hughes have done?''
 Well, what way would MT. Hughes have taken?' continues the Times. What would he have done? Here was MT Wilson's position: The broth erhoods' refused arbitration; the rail road presidents would not accept the settlement Mir. Wilson proposed, grant ing the eight hour standard day, with provision for an impartial inquiry into it's working. Thefe was no law on the statute books to enforce arbitra- tiOn.
 ''The president knew. knew with cer- tainty and beyond question, that he could not get such a law from the congress now in session. The sure and inevitable alternative to his ac- eeptance of thes eight hour standard day measure was a .strike, the suspen- sion of railway service, freight and passenger, all over the country, besin- ming on the morning of Sept. 4.
 Would Hughes Have Done It?
 INT. Hughes would not surrender to anybody in the country. Then he would have surrendered the country to the disturbance, immeasurable loss and peril of a strike. Would he, in fact. have done that? Had he been presi- dent, confronted by that situation, would MT. Hughes have brought on a strike by refusing to sign the bill granting a wage increase?
 "There was the strike in plain sight a few hours away. sure to come Would MT. Hughes have vetoed the bill? On the contrary, would he not have done just what MT. Wilson did sign it?
 "The Republican candidate stands for two things-'first. for the principle of fair. impartial. thorough. candid arbitration, and, second, for legislation on facts according tC the necessities of the case Mir. Wilson stands for those two things and, much more, has pIsdqed himself to use all his influence to secure them.
 What more could MT. Hughes do! Would i. be too much to ask the Re publican candidate to nut little com mon fairness in.o bis speeches? Is ht afraid to tell his audiences what the president actually did urge upon con . gresS2

A movement is on foot TO eschew
partisan politics in the coming city
election next month and 20 put out a
no]n-pnrtisan citizens ticket with the
best business men nominated for the
Offices regardless Of their political be-
lief. The News has always favored
this plan as we believe that politics
has NJ place in a local municipal cleo
ton. What difference does il make
whether a nan is a Democrat OF Re
publican ms long as he is a good mar
for the place. or course some who
still hold radical ideas contend that
if the organization is not maintained
locally. il cannot be maintained nat
ionally and that it serves TO keep the
parties united. This idea, however, is
generally advanced by those who have
received and who expect political ia
vors. Let's get together, call a mass
meeting and nominate the candidates
and help eliminate the petty local
differences.-Clovis News.
