swings the drum majors baton. Aside from that Heney has cmphati- cally declared himself for Wilson. We must not overlook that favOritc son of the sunny south, of Dixcland, John M. Parker, the man the Progressives nominated. to run for vice president. He realizes that slavery has been out of existence now going on some fifty odd years and does not propose to bind his followers over to any master. No, sah! He has issued call for another convention in Chicago On August 5.
 Those are the facts in the case, the salient ones that occur off-hand. Of course, there are many other states whose Progressive leaders are doing the same thing and are in open revolt against handing the loyal Bull Moose over bag and baggage to the Old Guard of the Republican party. These men do not believe with Colonel Roosevelt when he says he was not the one who deserted the PrOgresslVe party but that the Progressive party deserted him. The situation then be- gins to look far from what MT. Hughes describes 1t to be, "a united party at last There will soon take rlace in Chicago the conference of representative Progressives from every state in t.> Union. These men will consider the widespread and bitter revolt within the party against the action of the national committee in endorsing Charles E. Hughes, the Re- publican nominee for the presidency.' When that conference takes place we shall really see if MT. Hughes is talking through his Whiskers, and it begins to look that way.

QUESTIONS AND AN ANSWER.
Colonel Henry Watterson Shows Some Points That Must Be Met in Campaign

OOuisville Courier -JournaI) ..
 The American people: In what re- spect would you have improved upon the foreign policy of President Will son?
 MT. Hughes: I am an undiluted American.
 The American people: President Wilson refused to interfere when Bel gium was invaded by Germany. Would you have interfered and plunged America into war with Ger many for the quixotic purpose of en- forcing a neutrality treaty between European nations and affecting a European country in whose behalf the European powers which had signed the treaty already were at war?
 Mr. Hughes: I am an undiluted American.
 The American people: The hvphen- ates and the paid agents of the Kaiser demanded an embargo on shipments of munitions to the allies that the war might be shortened by giving an ad- vantage to Germany, in violation of international law and at the cost of the frank abandonment of America s neutrality. President Wilson declined to abandon neutrality and court war With the allleS. W WhaC course would you have pursued?
 MT. Hughes: I am an undiluted American.
 The American people: When the Lusitania was sunk and 100 Ameri- cans murdered President Wilson de- manded cessation of submarine as- s2ssination affecting 'non-combatants and ncutrals. Germany killed as much time as possible with denials, false alibis, subterfuges, and killed a few more Americans, but finally yielded. Tn what respect would you have done otherwise than the presi- dent did7
