Heber Clark, but the public hardly ever
heard or saw it. AS Max Adeler he
won his modest renown and earned the
affection of newspaper readers by his
jibes and jests. The particular kind of
funmaking of which he was master is
no longer in fashion. The column of

Later Gov. Hughes vetoed the So
called 2-cent fare bill. This method
of getting back at the railroads was
tried in the New York legislature and
adopted in the form of a bill. In
vetoing the bill Gov. Hughes stated
that there had been no preliminary
investigation to show whether or not
cents was a sufficient rate. He con-
tended that. while the railroads and
other public service corporations must
be compelled to do justice to the pub

TIE VITAL DOMESTIC ISSUE
Milwaukee Free Press

Milwaukee Free Press
1t is, as it was in 1860 the issue of
nationalism VS.. state rights.
Now, as then, the North stands for
nationalsm. the South for state sover-
eighty.
MIR. Wilson and MIR Hughes both
favor votes for women.
Mr. Hughes, the national candidate,
wishes to give women the vote by an
amendment to the national constitution.
Thus the suffrage would be conferred
upon women in all of the states on
equal terms, simultaneously.
Mr.. Wilson, the state rights candi-
date, wants the women to win the bal
lot by the slower and less equitable
process Of procuring amendments to
state constitutions.
Mr.. Hughes regards the American
people as citizens of nation.
Mr., Wilson sees them as citizens of
the several states.
This issue appears between the two
parties at other points. For example.
the Democratic administration has
failed it it's faint-spirited attempt to
merge the forty-eight state armies in
to a coherent efficient national army.
1t opposes the proposition for com
pletely authoritative regulation of the
railroads by one efficient national com
mission. instead, as now, bylforty or
more harassiug, conflicting and confus-
ing state commissions. 1t opposes the
proposition that corporations doing an
interstate business shall be required to
take out federal charters. so subject
ing themselves to regulation. for the
public protection, which no single-state
is competent to give. -. - rs. .,-Ts
i Upon these and other similar ques-
tons, each a phase'of this Fundamental
issue, Mr.. Hughes and his party stand
for a stronger. and more efficient ma
tionalism.
Their philosophy of government is
one which harmonizies with theineeds
of the day. That 81 the Democratic
party is an historical relic,

TO CONSTITUENTS.

Fellow Citizens congress being in

after the primary, write you this open
letter.
am a candidate for reelection. The
official records Of ten years of legisla-
tive service are my sources Of assured
confidence of your continued approval.
Doubtless | may not have satisfied
everybody on every vote at all times,
but | assure you voted right always
as my conscience gave me to see the
right. Certainly | had no other goal
in mind than the public good no other
thought than the truth; and no other
motive than self-sacrificing service
If, however, any one vote is thought
open to question by any person, ! shall
be very glad to give the reasons that
decided my actions For ten years my
votes have not been criticised, even by
my opponents, and it is only fair to
consider the whole record.
While it is quite natural that some
ambitious person will at times seek TO
displace a sitting member for re
election, especially when factional feel
ings enter in, | respectfully submit to
any fair minded man that my long
study Of public measures, my large leg
islative and political experience, and
the high place | now hold on the great
Committee on the Judiciary will make
it possible for me to render far better
service to my district and to my country
than can possibly any new. untried and
inexperienced candidate.
Letters of support and hearty con
gratulations are on my desk, and
shall esteem it a very great favor if
any friendly well-wisher will write me
at Washington, d. c., that may know
the political situation in every part of
my district. fear nothing save mis-
representation, and this | am prepared
to meet with the truth.
Sincerely yours,

Hughes Points the Way

The speech OF the Republican can
tidate FOR President WAS a keynote
speech, indeed. Not one person In
En-. great audience at the Carnegie
Hall meeting was In doubt for one
moment as to just what he meant by
everything he said.
His address was mprehensiye, log

man who Knows what he wants when
he wants it," and 1t ia the opinion
OF political authorities who heard him
and who have since read his remarks
that he knows, also, how 70 get 1t.
IL was incumbent upon the Repub-
lican candidate TO confiae the scope
Of his remarks to the limitations OF
the occasion, but his crushing analy-
sis of the shortcomings Of the pres
ent administration of the government
Is merely an earnest of what the tone
and the contents OF his speeches will
be when he gets on the stump.
At Carnegie Hall Mr.. Hughes ad-
verted to every general question that
is apt to be a serious issue In the
campaign and in language that will
be absolutely clear to every man or
woman able to read he stated his
opinions, his convictions and his pur-
poses. On the stump he will argue
those points in detail. As an orator
he is eloquent, his personality attrac-
tive and his marshalling of facts SO
cohesive that he holds his audience
to the end He makes 10 easy for
them to follow him and his points
are not lost
There was nothing equivocal. moth
Ing apologize in the Republican can
didate's speech Of acceptance. He
called spade spade, and the unani-
nous opinion of those who heard him
was that he shot to the center and
rang the bell. The Rer lblican cam
paign is now open, and those who
will speak and write and work for
the success of the Republican ticket
can wish for no more adequate cam

statement OF issues than are found IN

DUTY OF THE ADmlNiSTRA-
TON TO STOP PLOTS AND
CONSPiRACiES.

We denounce all plots and
conspiracies in the interest of
any foreign naticn. Utterly in
tolerable is the use of our soil
for alien intrigues. Every Am
erican must unreservedly con-
denim them, and support every
effort for their suppression. But
here, also, prompt, vigorous and
adequate measures on the part
of the Administration were
needed. There should have
been no hesitation; no notion
that It was wise and polite to
delay. Such an abuse Of our
territory demanded immediate
and thorough-going action. As
soon as the Administrator had
notice OF plots and conspiracies,
Il was its duty to stop them.
1t was not lacking in resources.
It's responsibility for their con
tinuance cannot be escaped by

and five million bushels for wheat,
eighty-nine million bushels for corn,
forty-three million bushels for oats,
