The Republican press, including the
Statesman of this city is publishing
fragments of a letter purporting to
come from Warren A. Stone. chief
engineer of the Brotherhood ofaLoco-
motive Engineers. who was interest
ed in the passage of an eight-hour
law. and endeavoring to lead the pub
lie to believe that railway employees
are dissatisfied with the Adamson
bill. There appears not one word in
the circular issued by the brother
hood that indicates their disapproval
OF the law recently enacted. so far as
we are able to discover from any
thing the Hughes journals have pub
lished They gave their readers a
fac smile of the circular in question
from which several lines had been
eliminated. and it is altogether prob
able that the part left out have Civ
en- it an entirely different color. The
Hughes press seems to find it easier
TO Rarble than to give a full ex-
preston Of the facts in any contro-

It IS a notable fact that the Hughes
Wall Street party is not sure of car
rying a single state in the Union.
They are pouring millions of war pro-
fits into the northern states and
working like grim death to hold
states which they formerly owned.

The Hughes Alliance has sent out
a circular headed. HAS Wilson Kept
Us Out of War" and then navily ask
what War"
Is it true that any one in this coun-
try has not heard that the greatest
war the world has ever known in
which thirteen nations are engaged
is going on in Europe. Still it looks
reasonable that any one who claimed
to be Progressive and says that he
is going to vote for Hughes might
not have heard of the European war.
The circular does not carry union
label.
