POINTS OUT QUESTIONS
FOR CAMPAIGN DECISION

NEW YORK, October 6.-Elihu Root,
at mass meeting held here last night
under the auspices of the Republican
Club, declared that the question for
the American people to decide in the
present campaign is: Are they willing
to have the serious and critical affairs
in which their vital interest will be
concerned during the next four years
conducted in the same way that the
Mexican business has been conducted?"
Mr. Root, who, with former United
States Senator Chauncey M. Depew.
was greeted by an audience in which
there were many women, began his ad-
dress by saying that 1.-The people of the
United States have some serious bust
! ness to be done by their government in
the next four years. and the way In
which it is done will be Of vital impor-
lance to the country and to all of US
in the country.
Shall we engage Mr.. Wilson, Mr.
Bryan, Mr.. McAdoo, Mr.. Daniels and
the rest of the democratic administra-
ton and a democratic Congress to man
age our affairs for the next four
years." he asked
Mr.. Root read his speech from manu-
script. Mr. Depew followed him. and
chara cterized President Wilson's speech
at Shadow Lawn, N. j.. last Saturday,
as admirably phrased and adroitly and
captivatingly put" but added that
Generalization never will bear the acid
test of facts.
Mr. Depew asserted that while the
republican party has been party OF
construction when in power, the demo-
cratic party has always been party
Of obstruction and destruction.

ATTRACTS BUSINESS MEN.

Mr.. Hughes has not tried to scare
anybody. but has merely portrayed
the errors OF the present AdminiStra-
,ion and set forth certain principles
on which the affairs Of the country
should he managed In the future.
There Is political logic In this por-
trayal, the elimination Of which in the
mind Of the voter Is expressed by the
frequent remark:
lie is the kind Of man we want TO
steer Us through"
This has been said by many busi-

Hughes are poise, strong sane mind
sincerity and willingness to sacrifice
life, physical or political, to the good
Of the country, Nor Is there any Qyes-

ceed To pile extravaganza upon ex-

For the dinner pail has been filed
with muniti0n money, which presently
must be supplanted by the true coin,

And while the dinner pail Is full,
observe with what inflated foods.
This administration promised tho
worker u lower cost OF living. But,
as matter OF fact, TO the worker
Democratic prosperity is a false pros
perity. II Is mirage. a
Every man with dinner pail
knows that, unless his wages have
been increased 20 per cent. under
Democratic munitlon prosperity, he is
poorer than he. was four years ago.
For Wilson rents are from 20 to 40
per cent. higher; the Wilson meat.
the Wilson sugar ami the Wilson wool
are 40 per cent, higher, and the VIII
son steel ana tin and household goods
are from 20 10 40 per cent. higher.
The Wilson bread has advanced
faster than the Wilson wage, and the
Wilson taxes have risen higher than
the Wilson prosperity. t
Democracy may have enriched the
munition manufacturer, but has II

living has increased faster than Lis
earnings? { D
