hasn't peg to stand on and a
mere criticism of the acts of Pres.

have been made, we'll admit, but
when Hughes can convience US
that he is perfection persoEitiec
(which is an impossibility) we
may think a little more of him
To vote for Hughes at this time
means that we place our stamp o
approval on the mouthings hurle'
