SPEAK OUT, MR.. HUGHES
What Would You Have Done Had
You Been President Instead
of Woodrow Wilson,
And What Will You Do In The
Event You Are Elected
| PRESIDENT
THE COUNTRY WANTS TO KNOW
(St. Louis st-Dispatch.)


"The American people demand
that Mr.. Hughes be specific. Re-
publican critics have sneered the
futility of President Wilson's sine
phrasing" Mr.. Hughes is doing the
fine phrasing. He is dealing in vag-
ne generalities. He must define him
self.
."The pro- German leaders, indorse
and support his candidacy on the
ground that he would have been
more neutral than Mr.. Wilson
that in his foreign policy he would
not have done what the President
has done.
'1n what respect would Mr..
Hughes have acted other than the
President did? What would he have
done that the President has not
done? At what point and in what
manner would he have changed the
Presidents record?
"1Ir. Wilson refused to protest
against the invasion of Belgium by
Germany or to interfere with the
occupation of Belgium by Germany.
'"Would Mr.. Hughes have pro-
tested against the invasion of Bel
giumq Would he have joined the
entente powers in their resistance
of Belgium's invasion? Would he
have shaken the mailed fist or
thrown the shining armor of the
United States into the European
arena on account of Belgium
'The pro-Germans in America
demanded that President Wilson
put an embargo on the sale and
shipment of arms and ammunition
to the allies, and the German Gov
eminent protested against such
sale and shipment. President Will
son refused the embargo, on the
ground that it would be unneutral
and violative of international law
and usage and discriminatory and
offensive to friendly powers at war.
"Would Mr.. Hughes have yielded
to the demand of an embargo? If
elected President, will he yield to a
similar demand?
'When American ships were at
tackled and sunk; when merchant
ships of belligerents carrying Am
orleans were sunk, with loss of
American lives, Mr.. Wilson pro-
tested and demanded that the Ger
man Government disavow response
bility therefor, make apology and
reparation and punish the COM
manders of submarines. He insist
ed that Germany respect neutral
rights of Amreica on the seas and
protect American rights and prop
erty, in accord with international
law and treaty obligations. He
warned Germany that such attacks
would be regarded as unfriendly,
and notified the German Govern
ment that it must cease illegal sub
marine warfare. These protests
and demands were the subject of
diplomatic correspondence and ne
gotiations directed to the establish
ing Of responsibility in each case
and to the settlement Of the con-
troversy. In each case when re-
sponsibility was established, Ger
many disclaimed the action Of the
submarine commander and express
ed regret and offered PREPARATION.
Gin what point would Mr.. Hughes
have acted differently Would he
have abandoned diplomatic meth
DDS of settling the submarine con-
troversy9 At what point would he
have abandoned such methodist AT

tion of the fair, and close the deal
for the fair grounds. The stockhold
