THE HUGHES MASK.

one by the Hughes issues fall by the way
side. Headed by Senator LaFollctte of Wiscon-
sim the seventy Republican members Of congress
who voted for the Adamson eight hour law are
apologizing for and repl.datng their leaders
chief issue. The disparagement of the child labor
law by Mr.. Hughes and National Chairman Wilcox
has drawn rebuke from Senator Albert B. Cum
Minis of Iowa, of the chief candidates against
Hughes for the Republican presidential nomna-
ton, which fairly cuts the ground from under the
partisan assailants Of this benefcent law.
One by one the Hughes ISSUES fall because they
are not real, but trumped up issues Each day the
fact is more clearly revealed that the Republican
campaign is not campaign for any set of prn-
ciples. Indeed, it is not even campaign for the
Republican candidate. Events but demonstrate
that the Hughes candidacy is a mask behind
which reactionary politicians are attempting to
regain power, with the aid and for The benefit of
a conspiracy of interests more powerful and
malign than heretofore have ever been allied in
American politics.
The Maine election returns were seized upon as
promising chance to put it over, and became the
bait that induced the interests to pat on an enor-
nous scale. These interests include that potent
Wall Street group which, not so long ago. Roose-
welt described as predatory and and
even more menacing set, towit-British interests,
German interests, Mexican interests.
The Hughes mask hides not only a campaign of
treachery to the of progressive politics and
government but also a campaign Of treason to
America and Americanism. Is there any wonder
there is such steady trend to Wilson?
