Ny Conception of The Presidency

On the eve of election day the
American people are entitled TO a
summary of the thing / have stood for
in this campaign, as they. are the
things | shall stand for as president
No man can tell in advance what
unexpected demands the next four
years may present but one whose con-
ception of the presidents duty rests
upon fundamental principles can de-
scribe with entire sincerity how the
problems of administration would be
approached and in what spirit they
would be solved.
A man charged with the duty of
reaching a desired goal knows that
the road to it is found in following
that path which sound Judgment and
clear vision open up step by step, |
can show the road | expect to travel.
| propose first of all to start right
The president is primarily an execu-
tive. II is hts supreme duty to attend
to the business of the nation, to safe.
guard it's interests. to anticipate its
needs, to enforce its laws.
| The first act of a president who
takes this view if his duties is to call
about him the ablest cabinet the coun.
try can furnish, men who can deal
with the tremendous international and
domestic problems which will confront
us in the next four years.
My conception of the presidency diff
fers absolutely from that of Mr.. Will
son. look upon the president as the
administrative. head of the govern.
ment. He looks upon the president
as primarily the political leader and
lawmaker of the nation.
In the two departments of govern
rnent most closely touching our for
eign relationship department of
state and the department Of the navy
he chose men whom he knew to be
wholly unequal to their duties. Adj.
ministrative obligations was subordin-
ated to political exigency. can as.
sure the country that any administra'
tion under my direction will stand up,
on sound administrative ground with
the ablest cabinet the country can
supply.
Across the road we are to travel this
next four years, even though we start
right and move with prudence and
courage, serious hazards are thrown
like breaks in a roadway made by a
tcrrential rain. These all rise out OF
the war torrent which has overwhelm
ed Europe. The first has to do with
our foreign relations. 1t is the presi
dents duty to safeguard the interest
Of our own nation, and to preserve thu
friendship OF every other nation.
No man is more determined than
to maintain the peace which the Uni
ted States, Spain, Sweden, Norway
and all the American republics now Ell
joy. But | sheould seek to maintain
that peace by firm and courteous in
sistence on the rights of our citizens
at home and abroad

and control of business, but / demand
also that business great and small
(and especially the small business)
be treated fairly and justly. Only un.
red such conditions can business pay
living wages or compete with foreign
manufacturers.
In this respect again the present ad-
ministration holds a policy entirely
! opposite. 1t has viewed business enter.
prize with suspicion and has made the
government a brake to stop the
wheels of legitimate Industrial pro-
gress. 1t has treated the business men
of this country as though they were
suspicious characters. 1t has assumed
that capital and labor are natural
enemies. In four years 1t has put this
country further on the road to class
war than has been accomplished in a
generation before The men who stand
with me believe in the honesty OF the
American working man, they believe
no less in the honesty of the American
business man, and they believe that
! the common good Is to be found not
! in class war but in mutual Justice
and fair dealing, not as between CAPT.
| tai and labor in the abstract but as
! between men and men.
You know the road we have Travelled

eeutive efficiency. Our murdered and

conception of American citizenship
plain enough to see but new one for
American patriotism to adopt; the
monument of class bitterness, realised
by this administration throws a sinis-
ter shadow across our political hori-
Zon; the unjust accusation against
business men has left bitter taste
in our national life. If you prefer this
path it is plainly marked. And the en-
of it Is class war.
| You ask what road propose to tray
ell? These are the milestones which
mark it-an executive Responsible to
the whole nation, cabinet chosen
from the ablest Americans, foreign
policy that stands courteously but
firmly for American rights, flag that
protects the American in his lawful
rights wherever his legitimate bust
ness may take him, preparation for
trade competition which shall protect

on the assumption that the average
, business man is honest, and finally a
domestic policy which looks to indus
, trial peace. and to sound and perma-
/ nent prosperity based upon the de-
velopment OF American trade and the
building up of American industries,
We Americans are in the boat. You
= cannot strike a blow at one group
! without injury to all. Common justice
and fair play will settle our difficulties

home without the touch Of womans

auxiliary lacks that touch needed to
make 1t a home, a social center for

year, the Auxiliary adds touch much

pastor" Russell was born in Pitts
burgh, February 10, 1852. Until he
was twenty he went to school and en-
gagged in the mems furnishing bust

pastor" RuSSell's headquarters re-
manned in Brooklyn and London. In
Brooklyn he founded the Brooklyn
Tabernacle, and there preached to
large crowds when he was at home.
In London he had the London Tnber-
nacle. There were churches in many
other cities. The International Bible
Students association, with thousands
of members all over the world, was
another of his organizations. The
United States Investment company
was his financial corporation for the
handling of money that came in from
tracts, books, Miracle Wheat, sale of
cemetery lots and donations. He was
president of every organ ZatlOn with
which he was connected.
How many thousands of dollars the
'"pastor" spent in advertising no one
will ever know. Each Sunday his
sermons appeared In more than 1900
newspapers and periodicals. In the
larger cities the sermons, about 1000
words long, appeared as paid adver-
tisements. Those wlNm he couldn't
reach with his sermons or with his
voice he tried to reach by way of the
movies, moving pictures of his Bible
theories and photographic records of
his voice being used.
Russell throughout his career stuck
to two things-that hell was not eter.
nal punishment, but eternal death,
and that the end of the world was
near. He set the date for 1914. Later
this was qualified.

Mayor for relief funds Of the border

BY CHARLES EVANS HUGHES.

! An American in Mexico is subject
to Mexican law, but he is an American
still and is entitled to the protection
! of his own government in his lawful
business. For one shall never con
sent to a policy which leaves Ameri-
> cans helpless against the lawlessness
of any country to do business.
There confronts labor in the next
: four years a condition more serious
= than any that American laboring men
, have been called upon to face. When
this war began over a million Ameri-
can working men were seeking vainly
for employment. When the war ends
and the developed energies Of a new
Europe are thrown into commercial
| production, our nation will face a com
: petition such as it never knew.
One of two things must happen
either millions of our men will be
must be thought out in advance the
problem of commercial organizations
as France and England and Germany
are seeking to think ont the problem
to-day. Every one of these nations
is preparing to defend its own market
by protective tariff. The end of the
war will end also he opportunities for
labor created by the war. The mil.
lions in the trenches to-day will be
Our industrial competitors tomorrow
IF we are to save our laboring men
from catasthrope we must plan q
tariff protection along sound, just and
economic lines. To this endeavor
! pledge myself and the men who are
to be my colleagues.
In this matter again | differ abso
lutely from the policy of the present
administration. Democratic platforms
have declared that the government,
has no right to levy tariff duties ex
cept for income. This is the funda
mental faith of the democratic party
! pledge myself and those who stand
with me to deal with the needs OF la
boring men the country over, whatever
their trade or organization, upon the
principle of giving the largest protec
ton possible to every American work
ing man and the largest participation
possible in the prosperity of our in
dustries with special favors to none.
Finally it is to be remembered thai
every European government is putting
, itself behind its industries; organizing
them, encouraging them and suggest
ing economies. When the commercial
struggle begins anew, the industrie
of every European country will go in
) to the world markets backed by, tn
reflective cooperation and intelligen
oversight of their government.
