WHAT HUGHES WILL DO

Charles Evans Hughes has answered
openly and freely all the questions pro-
pounded 10 him by hired hecklers of
the Democratic campaign managers,
who had hoped to embarrass him. The
other candidate observes a Snug 81
lence or all questions. when he does
noc by adroit phrasing evade them.
The favOrte Democratic apology for
Wilson has been what would you have
done" Mr., Hughes has been emphatic
in declaring that when he becomes
President, he will appoint man as
Secretary Of State who will back up
what the President says and not tell
the Austrian Government that we are
bluffing.
Mr.. Hughes will not reward traitors
TO the nation with high office. He will
not and would not sign a sundry civil
bill that makes a law for one class and
eXempts another class from its opera
ton. Mr.. Hughes will not attempt to
dictate who shall be the head of Mexi-
co; nor will he attempt to dictate who
shall run for office in that or other
nations.
Mr.. Hughes will never send the Unit
ed States fleet into a foreign port and
demand salute for the flag and then
order the fleet to come home without
thar salute; and he wouldn't call that
bloody campaign peace"
Mr.. Hughes will never send the Unit
TO fight for the honor Of the nation or
the protection of American lives.
Mr.. Hughes will not appoint two So
cialists into his cabinet, nor will he
endorse other socialists for office even
if they should succeed in winning a
nomination from his party.
Mr.. Hughes will not surrender The
principle Of arbitration to force from
any labor leaders; he will never stand
for hold-up by any body OF men,
either capitalists or workers.
Mr.. Hughes. when President, will
never subordinate duty for expedicncy.

The Democratic administration has
