FARMERS SIZE UP HUGHES
AS "PRETTY GOOD FELLOW"

Fargo, n. D.-Charles E. Hughes
campaigned for the first time among
the sturdy farmers of the eastern part
Of North Dakota and left behind him
the reputation of being pretty good
fellow"
He was forced to undergo a critical
scrutiny before the verdict was given.
Mr.. Hughes preached the doctrines
Of government efficiency, Americanism,
tariff as protection to the farmers and
preparedness, and in each instance won
applause, despite the fact that the
farmers are not the strongest advo-
Gates Of the last named issue.
They cheered for preparedness the
loudest when Mr.. Hughes told them
that it meant not militarism, but abil-
ity to uphold national honor.
As they cheered for Mr.. Hughes one
broad shouldered old farmer said, Its
because there's something about him
that makes you believe he's telling the
truth"

"When we contemplate industrial
and commercial conditions" says Mr.
Hughes, I'VE see that we are living in
fools paradise" This is the condi-
tion to which the administration and
fits supporters have deliberately closed
their eyes. When the war cloud broke
over Europe this country was expert
encing the most serious depression it
had known since 1898. when the Demo
cratic party and its poll: les were in
full control of the United States.
Suddenly there came from over the
sea a demand for munitions of war.
clothing, food. supplies. everything
needed by vast armies and by coun-
tries whose sous were taken from the
field and the workshop. never to re-
turn.
As @ result our exports and the bal
ance of trade in our favor have reach
ed figures far surprising any ever be-
fore known. Temporarily, especially In
the east, there is no lack of work at
high wages. for Europe must pay
whatever price America asks. No
thoughtful person would imagine that
this condition is anything like real
prosperity. How false it is we in
Oregon, who have the clearer vision,
because not clouded by the smoke from
munitions factories. have fully felt and
fully appreciated.
What the Republican candidate for
president says about it the Democrats
know to be true:
Our opponents promised to reduce
the cost of living. This they have
failed to do, but did reduce the op-
pOrtunities of making a living. Let us
not forget the conditions that existed
in this country under the new tariff
prior to the war. Production had de-
creased; business was languishing:
new enterprises were not undertaken:
instead Of expansion there was cur
tailment. and our streets were filled
with the unemployed"
The suspension of these conditions
is not nation wide. only sectional, and
depends upon the dura ton of the war
Those who think otherwise are indeed
living in a fools paradise.-Portland
(Ore.) Telegram.

ATTRACTS BUSINESS MEN.

Mr.. Hughes has not tried to scare
anybody, but has merely portrayed the
errors Of the present administration
and set forth certain principles on
which the affairs of the country should
be managed in the future.
There is a political logic in his por-
trayal, the elimination of which in the
mind of the voter is expressed by the
frequent remark:
''He is the kind Of man we want to
steer us through"
This has been said by many a bust
ness man. The qualities seen in Mr..
Hughes are pOise. strong, sane mind,
sincerity and a willingness to sacrifice
life. physical Or political. to the good
of the country. Nor is there any
question as to the quality of nerve to
meet the emergencies of the four years
beginning March 4. 1917.

At the annual meeting of postmas-

the postal savings system. That must
have been bitter pill for Postmaster
General Burleson, who sat on the same
platform with his assistant. When the
postal savings bill was passed Mr..
Burleson, then a congressman from
Texas, voted against it. Every vote
cast against it was cast by a Demo
