"COMP[ETE ACCORD
 WITH ROOSEVELT"
HUGHES' FOREIGN POLICY DlC- HATED BY THE LINGO WHO, HAD HE BEEN IN THE WHITE HOUSE, SAYS Ex-PRESlDENT TAFT. "WoULD HAVE PLUNGED US INTO WAR;"

shirked our duty by failing to take any action; by announcing that we would be neutral"
 Fact 2-Roosevelt said: "It is a wicked thing to be neutral between right and wrong. i. e., between Bel gium and Germany"
 Fact 3-RoOt denounced the Presl- dent for "pusillanimous conduct III his negotiations with Germany, and repeated all of RooSevelt'S arguments.
 Fact 4+Lodge gave utterance to the same doctrine.
 Fact 5 - Roosevelt declared he would not accept a nomination at the hands of the Progressive Party if the Republican Party would nominate a man whose foreign policies were in accordance with his own!
 Fact 6-On June 10, the Republican National Convention nominated Jus tice Charles Hughes.
 Fact 7-On June 9, Roosevelt said: ''They (Mr. Wilson and his partD have taught us that peace, the peace of cowardice and dishonor and indif- ference to the welfare of others, is to be put above righteousness, above the stern unflinching performance of duty"
 Fact s-On June 27, Roosevelt said: "In my judgment the nomination or MT. Hughes meets the (my) condl- tiOn No good American can have any feeling except scOrn and detesta- ton for those professional German Americans who seek to make the Am erican President in effect viceroy of the German Emperor. They repre- sent that adherence to the poliuco- racial hyphen which is the badge and sign of moral treason to the Republic. I am certain that that candidate (Hughes) is incapable of being influ- enced by the evil intrigues of these hyphenated Americans"
 Fact 9-On June 29 Roosevelt and Hughes were at dinner together for two and a half hours.
 Fact 10-After that dinner Hughes said: "We talked very fully over all matters AND WERE IN COMPLETE ACCORD"
 Fact 11-Three days after that din ner Roosevelt said of Hughes: "His high qualities must recommend him to the esteem of the whole world, particularly to the sympathy of the Allies. He certainly would never have States, as one of the signatories to the | Hague Treaty, to pass over without protest the violation of Belgium's neu- trality by Germany. He would never write two notes on the same offense. He would perhaps issue a warning, but afterwards he would act according to his conscience and for the honor of civilization. This Is what he cer- tainly will do, if he becomes the President of the United States"
 Fact 12-On August 31, Roosevelt de nounced German citizens for acting as servants and allies of Germany" He condemned the Administration for falling to live up to its duty to resist the invasion of Belgium. He added |: I've can put in power an adminiStra- ton which will live up to our national obligations. AS between Mir. Hughes and MT. Wilson, who can doubt which Is the man who will with auStere courage stand for the national duty?''
 Fact 1a-On September 1. Hughes wired Roosevelt: "I heartily cOngrat- ulate you on the speech at Lewiston and warmly appreciate your effective support" spoke of Roosevelt as That staiwart American who woke the country; and aped Roosevelt by say ing: We want deeds to match words. I am not one of the kind that is too proud to fight" On the following day, he stated that he knew what was in Roosevelt's Maine speech, and en.
 dorsed every word of it!
 Fact 14-Candidate Hughes springs , from the most loyal of British stock the Welsh. His father emigrated from Wales in 1855, barely seven years be. fore Charles was born.
 Fact 15-Mr. Hughes naturally sym
 pathizes with England, as does a son
 of q German immigrant with that
 country which he lovingly refers to
 as "Fatherland." It Is only natural
 that MT. Hughes should stamp his ap
 proval upon all that Roosevelt-hateI
 and traducer of German-America1
 citizens
 Fact 1o-f Roosevelt's policy, whict ] MT. Hughes has accepted without
 modification, had, for the past 24 \ months, been the policy of this Gov
 erIAnent, war with Germany would have been inevitable.
 H Fact 17-And If we had conquered | we could have obtained nothing more | than an apology for wrongs committed | d promise to respect our rights 1T Il the future. and monetary indemnity H Fact 1S-If MT. Hughes is elected Il President on this issue, it is notice l to all the world that America repudi | ates her policy of peace for the II RooseveIt-Hughes policy of war. Lei Il the issue be not misunderstood. We Il know, the world knows, that Wood M
