ives could do nothing more than in
sure the re-electinon of Mr.. Wilson.
Mr.. Roosevelt makes ii clear that in
his judgment the best service pro-
gressives can render the country I'M
der these circumstances is to assist
in the election of Mr.. Hughes, whom
he regards as the ADLER and stronger
of the two men who are candidates
of their respective parties for the
presidency.
Colonel Roosevelt is keen in his
analysis of President Wilson's work,
He insists that it has been weak and
vacillating where it should have been
strong and vigorous. He also points
out the fundamental weakness of
democratic theory when applied to
actual governmental business. 1t is
a party which stands for a weak ra-
Their than a strong central govern
ment. Roosevelt is genuine Hamil-
tonian. He believes in a strong CEN
trial government.
The support which Roosevelt will
give Hughes will be very forceful and
effective. He will carry most of the
progressive strength with him into
the republican party-that is, that
portion of it which has not preceded
him.
Roosevelt's letter will be very
gratifying to most of his friends. 1t
is conclusive evidence that he has not
lost his poise and balance. He is still
capable of seeing things from other
than a personal viewpoint. He will
not sulk in his tent because he is not
himself at the head of the column.
Roosevelt's estimate of Hughes is
both Just and accurate. He says the
republican candidate "has shown in
his career the instinct of efficiency
which will guarantee that under him,
the government will once more work
with vigor and force. He possesses
that habit of straightforward think
ing which means that his words will
be correlated with his deeds and
translated into facts. His past career
is the warrant for our BELIEF that he
will be the unfaltering opponent of
that system of invisible government
which finds expression in the domin-
alton of the party boss and the party
machine. His past career is a guar
antee that whatever he says before
election will be made good by his
acts after election. Morally, his pub
lie record shows him to be man of
unbending integrity; intellectually, it
shows him to be a man of original
and trained ability"

ROOSEVELT SUPPORTS HUGHES

As has been anticipated for some

Roosevelt's letter to the progress

strong statement of the situation as
he and probably a majority of the
voters in the country sees it.
First and foremost, Roosevelt rec
ognizes the fact that the choice for
president will be confined to two can
didates, the nominees of the republic

candidate could do nothing more, in
his Judgement, than weaken one of
the main contenders. Roosevelt, him

HUGHES ANSWERS WILSON

COLUMBUS, O., Oct. 30.-Charles E. Hughes replied to President Will sons speech on Saturday at Shadow Lawn. He referred to the occasion as a little festival of self-glorifica- ton" among "our opponents" at which they celebrated their birth and freedom and described themselves as generous forces of the age and world. '.
 He declared the "eulogy needed one further touch and that was to cele- brate the policy which led to the slaughter of Americans at Vera Cruz and at Carrizal."
 He characterized the Underwood and Adamson bills as being "in q whimsical domain of topsy-turvy- dom" He declared his opponents arc a little out of their reckoning" in claiming business has been relieved because of the nervous fear of courts and that what business really feared was the 'two-faced laws, government by hold-up and an administration which treats business men as suspici- ous characters"

 He plunged into his address in a convincing manner that dispelled all doubt of his sincerity, charging the State administration with extrava- gance, incompetency and misjudg- ment.
 ''I charge them with extravaganza and l know because I always talk from records" Campbell said. "The cost of the government has increased 300 per cent in the past five years. The Democrats will admit that this is true but say, look what we have done for you. I answer not what they have

The prisoner was placed in a box car but when the officer went for his captive the next morning, he, too, was gone.

Oct. 30-Thc State department is unable to- night to form an opinion whcth- CT there has been any violation of neutral rights or the pledge Ger many gave the United States, owing to the incomplete reports on the sinking of the British steamers Marina and Rowanmorc, partly manned by Americans, by German submarines.
 Lansing admitted that the re- ports appeared more serious than the usual routine dispatches an- nouncing the destruction of bel ligerent merchantmen. The Ma rina case appears at present the gravest situation that has arisen since the sinking of the Sussex, which brought the United States and Germany near a break.
 Consul Frost, at Queenstown, cabled that the Marina was a horse transport with a mixed crew of British and Americans" He reported it was sunk unwarn- ed by German submarines gun fire west of Cape Clear. Seventy of the crew are missing. He said the information was purely pro visional."
