viii a-nnroximate 40 per cent.

will approximate 40 per cent.
The "Annalist' which tabu-
lates these earnings, gives the
cost of living at the time the
eight-hour law passed Congress
as about 80 per cent higher than
the year before. Yet Mr.. Hughes
says he wants facts to show
that the railway employees Of
the United States are entitled to
any increase in remuneration,
and declares that the 239 men,
bers of Congress who granted
the eight-hour day to railway
hands acted without knowledge
or justice.
1t is strange how a 100 per
cent candidacy can produce a
100 per cent blindness as to
facts which stand out in the
daily columns of every business
organ in the country.

COMING FAST

F.. D. Underwood, president Of
the Erie Railroad, and Judge
Lovettlof the Union Pacific Rail-
road, have both declared for
President Wilson's reelection.
Underwood says that the
Democratic party had achieved
the seemingly impossible and is
worthy of a future trial. That
he was opposed to President
Wilson on the Adamson Rail-
road Law, but the President had
shown honest motives, and that
the Republicans also stood for
an 8-hour day." He stated fur
Their that he was not carried
away by the statements and
promises that any political party
on the outs make, and that he
did not subscribe to the view
that President Wilson had OPP
pressed big business.

A WeIl-DeRned Issue.

The Chicago Tribune's special
correspondent, E. C. Hill, who
followed Candidate Hughes in
his campaign of the middle
west, reported his Milwaukee
speech in the columns of the
Tribune as follows:
Throughout Mr.. Hughes adj
dress the applause, filed TO hair
trigger speed, exploded like gun
volleys. The first burst of ap-
plause came when he said in the
principal city of the state of La
Toilette that the LaFollette ship
ping bill must be repealed; the
next, when he said that the I'm
derwood tariff must be replaced
by a protective tariff the third,
when he declared that the whole
Democratic legislative accom-
plishment must be wiped off the
books for the good of the coun-
try"
AT last we have a clear and
well-cut issue. All who favor
the repeal of the LaFoIlette ship.

peal of the Underwood tariff, al
who favor the repeal of the
Federal Reserve Law, the Rura.

law, the Agricultural Extension
act, the Child Labor law, ant

Facts Hughes Can't See.


The net earnings of the larger
railroads which refused any in
crease of wages and the eight
hour day to their trainmen make
a splendid exhibit of the quality
of humanity which exists be-
hind a Wall Street propaganda.
For example, the net earnings
of the Pennsylvania system for
the first seven months of 1916
show an increase as compared
with last year, of GIL per cent
the New York Central System,
1914 per cent; the Illinois Cen
trail system, GIG per cent, and
the Michigan Central, 81.S pei
cent. These are net earnings
after payment of all operation
costs. For the entire railroad
list the increase in net earnings

People in the middle west can
almost hear the Wall Street
crowd chuckle at the docile de-
meanor of Theodore Roosevelt.
-Four years ago Theodore was
eating 'em alive, but since the
Gary dinner, he has changed
back to his natural color and
feeds with the wolves in the
home lair.

Mr.. Hughes dislikes the fed
eral banking and currency law
which will prevent panics. He
does not like the child-labor law
that will prevent the dwarfing
of the bodies and minds of boys
and girls in the factories. He is
against the eight-hour law
which is so distasteful to the
railroad managers. Apparently
the only thing that he would like
to see Charles Evasion Hughes
president.

Hughes's wall Street Money.

Hughes's Wall Street Money.
Showing where Candidate
Hughes has received his sup
port in the past and where he
in all probability is receiving it
now, the following quotation
from "The History of the Su-
preme Court" by Gustavus
Myers, published by the Charles
+. Kerr Publishing Company,
Chicago, is interesting:
ITO Mr.. Hughes's campaign
fund in 1906, J. Pierpont Nor
gan & Co., and Levi P. Morton
each contributed $4,000. An
drew Carnegie, John D. Rookie
teller, Jr., H. B. Hollins and E.
M. Well, each $4,000. Harvey
Fiske & Son, Chauncey M. De-
paw, John w. Gates, ]. & w.
Seligman & Co., and sundry
others each gave contributions
of $500. The total sum con-
tributed was 1913, 1928"

Mr.. Hughes Position.

From the Louisville Courier Journal.
Some people are still waiting
to learn from Candidate Hughes
lips what he stands for. But
nobody need be in any doubt as
to what he stands against. He
has made it perfectly clear that
he stands against everything
that Woodrow Wilson stands
for, ever has stood for or ever
will stand for.
