Every time the democratic press
agents undertake to emphasize the
non.political' character Of the speech,
es which Mr.. Wilson is to make, a
deputation of scared leaders of the
party arrives at Shadow Lawn from
some state to beg that some punch be
put into the campaign. I'D
The kings of Norway, Sweden, Den.
mark and Spain, and the queen Of Hol,
land are making no plea for the ap.
probation Of their subjects on the
ground that they kept their respective
nations out of war. Those countries
are upon the border of the battle
grounds. There are a thousand op.
portunities for those countries to be.
come involved where there is one that
might involve the United States. Why
then, should President Wilson and his
campaign managers seek to evade the
issues of this campaign by an appeal
for sympathy upon the false plea that
che kept us out of war?

Hughes Points the Way

The speech of the Republican can.
didate for President was a keynote
speech, indeed. Not one person in
the great audience at the Carnegie
Hall meeting was in doubt for n
moment as to just what he meant by
everything he said.
His address was comprehensive, log
ical, clear and all sufficient for che
occasion. There can be no dispute
as to this. Plainly Mr.. Hughes Is q
man who knows what he wants when
he wants it," and it is the opinion
Of political authorities who heard him
and who have since read his remarks
that he knows, also, how to get it.
1t was incumbent upon the Repub-
lican candidate to conhne the scope
of his remarks to the limitations Of
the occasion, but his crushing analy-
sis Of the shortcomings of the pres
ent administration of the government
Is merely an earnest Of what the tone
and the contents of his speeches will
be when he gets on the stump.
At Carnegie Hall Mr.. Hughes ad-
verified to every general question that
is apt to be q serious issue in the
campaign and in language that will
be absolutely clear to every man or
woman able to read he stated his
opinions, his convictions and his pur.
poses. On the stump he will argue
those points in detail. AS an orator
he Is eloquent, his personality attrac-
tive and his marshalling of facts so
cohesive that he holds his audience
to the end. He makes it easy for
them to follow him and his points
are not lost.
There was nothing e%quivocal, moth
ing apologize in the Republican can
didate's speech Of acceptance. He
called a spade a spade, and the unani.
nous opinion of those who heard him
was that he shot to the. center and
rang the bell. The Re- 'blican cam
paign Is now open, and those who
will speak and write ard work for
the success of the Republican ticket
can wish for no more adequate cam.
paign document, no more satisfactory
etatemC t Of issues than are found in
the candidates %salutatory.
