If Colonel Roosevelt reaches the
conclusion which he is likely to reach,
now that Hughes has let the people
know where he stands, that Hughes
and the Republican party with his help
as fighter in the ranks can present
these big issues OF Americanism and
preparedness, as they should be, to the
people of the country, and that his
staying out of the presidential field
will make more certain the overthrow
of the provenly inefficient Democratic
party, which is an enormous desidera-
tum for the nations good Just now,
the State Journal will gladly join him
in supporting Hughes as ably as it can
Nor will the State Journal feel that
it has any apologies or excuses to
make to Charles Evans Hughes or the
Republican party for the course it has
pursued. And the State Journal con-
siders its course behind it as well as
the one ahead of it perfectly consist
ent one, and in its sincerity. with due
respect to the opinions of others it
could have taken no other course than
the one it did.
Theodore Roosevelt has fought and
won a major political victory and one
of immensely important concern to the
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1916-06-12

But all this was before the issues
had been definitely drawn that were
to shape themselves as the paramount
ones on which the presidential cam
paign of this summer and fall would
be fought.
All this was also long before there
was any very positive idea anywhere
that Theodore Roosevelt would be
candidate in any sense of the word for
the Republican presidential nomina-
ton.
At that time, Mr.. Hughes, as stated,
appeared to be best equipped and best
qualified Moses to lead the Re
publican party out of the wilderness
of the division that had wrecked it in
1912.

RELIGIOUS ISSUE IS BROUGHT
INTO LADIES' SCRAP

The religious issue appears to have
entered into the fight of the Illinois
Women's Democratic league against
the appointment of Mrs, George Bass
as Wemen's campaign manager for
the Democratic campaign. The
league wants its president, Mrs. Jo-
hanna E. poWnes, given the honor.
Friends of Mrs. Bass declare the
league is opposed to Mrs. Bass be-
cause she is not a Catholic. Friends
of Mrs. Dewnes deny this and say
the Mrs. Bass supporters are using
this plea to gain strength among the
Professionals The league members
say they will vote on the Fecommen-
dations of Mrs. Dewnes regardless Of
the fate of Pres, Wilson.
