FAMOUS WRITERS DEMAND
HUGHES GIVE A DEFINITE
POLICY FOR UNITED STATES
They Want G. O. P Candidate to Cease in GeneratieS and
State Facts About Important Issues, and Sharp Queries
Given Him.

NEW YORK-A committee of dis
tinguished American writers, the exc
cutive group of which met yesterday
at the Hotel Biltmor, today gave out
the following open letter:
To the Hon. Charles E. Hughes: The
professional writer's who sign this let
ter have small interest in parties, but
a very deep interest in democracy. 1t
is our hope, through this voluntary as
sociation, to assist in the promotion of
honest, educational discussion in or
der that fundamental issues may not
be decided in prejudice and ignorance.
Mr.. Wilson's beliefs have been eX
pressed in law, and in declared poll
cies has made an open record by
which he may be judged. Wise choice
is not possible unless you yourself
make equally specific a statement Of
purposes and convictions.
Without intent to offend, we feel
justified in charging that in no single
public utterance have you filed bona
fide bill of particulars, nor have you
offered a single constructive sugges-
ton.
Sharp Queries Put Up To G. o. P. Can
didate.
Generalities are without value,
blanket criticism is worthless. What
we desire to know, what it is fair that
the electorate should know, are the ex-
act details of your disagreement with
President Wilson-what he has done
that you would not have done, and
what has he failed to do that you
would have done or propose to do?
Honesty and patriotism demand that
you put yourself upon record in such
o manner as to permit the people to
judge you as they are now able to
judge President Wilson. For example:
First-Would you have filed instant
protest against the invasion of Bel
GUM and backed up that protest with
the United States navy?
Second-It is arrant nonsense to
talk about action that would have pre-
vented the Lusitania tragedy. The
vague advertisement did not appear
until shortly before the hour of sail
ing. The occurrence was one of those
things that civilization has made the
world regard as incredible. The only
honest question is this, would you
have made the disaster the subject of
diplomatic negotiations or would you
have broken relations with Germany
at once.
Third-Would you have urged upon
congress an embargo upon the ship
ment of munitions to the allies?
Do You Favor Huerta! One Question
Asked.
Fourth-Would you urge universal
compulsory military service?
Fifth-You are frank in stating that
Huerta's morals were of no concern
to America. Does this mean that you
would have recognized Huerta?
Sixth-As matters stand today,

Betrayed By National Committee.


An address was issued by the con-
ference to the Progressives of the
country, which says in part:
"a resolution was unanimously
adopted condemning the action of the
Progressive national committee as an
illegal usurpation of authority not
conferred upon it by the recent con-
vention of the party, denouncing its
action as a breach of trust and re-
pudiating the same in every resi- act
as non-expressive of the party's
thought or wishes.
"Our deliberations have been guided
solely by a desire to preserve the
party as an instrument for the express
sion of the popular will, and to pro-
mote without halt or interruption the
great aims to which the party is dedi
Gated
1T is useless to deny or to deceive
ourselves as to the grievous effect up
on the party of the blows which it has
sustained through the detection of
many of its leaders, and through the
betrayal by the national committee of
the trust confided in it by the party
membership-men whom we have de-
lighted to honor and whom we have
rejoiced to follow-who have not only
abandoned the party's cause but have
sought to sacrifice it's future and to
compromise the dignity of its individ-
ual membership by collusive under
taking with the Republican party to
deliver our party strength to the Re-
publican presidential ticket.
Protest Against Treason.
This conference is the eliminating
protest of the party against the trea-
sonable attempt to put it out of ex-
istence as a national party and to de-
liver its vote to the Republican party.
The Progressive party cannot be de-
livered. The attempt to do so has al
ready recoiled upon its authors and
covered them with discredit and confu-
sion. 1t is the sense of this confer
ence that the action of individual Pro-
gressives on the presidency should be
left to their individual judgment and
conscience.
ANY effort to dictate the action of
individual Progressives must of nee
essity fail, and this conference recog-
nizes the capacity and the resolve of
every Progressive to make up his own
mind and to determine his own course.
1--WE have considered carefully the
question of holding new convention
and completing our national ticket.
The difficulties in the way of this
course are at this late date insuper-
able. The fact that the party ma

chinery in many states is in the con-
troll of service committeeman who
were involved in the scheme to deliver
the party to the Republicans; the fur
ther fact that the campaign is al
ready so far advanced, and that more
time will be required to assemble the
party in convention, all have combin-
ed to bring us to the conclusion that
a second convention of the party this
year is impracticable."

time before the French airman, Lieu

At the deep midnight hour
Sleep, that makes all things whole,
INDUCED by tortured soul.
In the jewel-chest of dreams
He stirred the elusive CLEANS
And found the gift of power,
Round, pure, and perfect power,
And laid it in my hand.
I said: 81 have command
Of the Prince of the Powers of the Air;
His cwn wings will l wear!
| will soar as a great helI-kite
To be named The Terror-by-Night,
Over mine enemy's land"
At the thought, I rode the sky,
High over the sea, and high
Over field and city and spire;

For | came to mine enemy's roof,
Safe in valley aloof,
And / knew, as I poised above,
There lay his Hope and his Love,
The twain that he held most dear,
Nestled with cheeks together,
Roses in summer weather,
Sleeping without fear.

Couched her old, kindly head,

Even as mine own had died.

To mine enemy I cried:

Look up, look up, to see!
Lo, what is in my choice!

This have you done to me;
This might lido to you;
Yet this l would not do,
Yea, this I could not do!

Mine enemy stood in his gate:
He was sadder than had thought,
hated what he had wrought,
But him I could not hate.

The merciless morning broke.

Shrilled triumph and defeats,
Sold horrors and despairs.

comfort. The walls are in a restful
shade of green, the furnishings are
well adapted to the needs for which
they are designed, and the lunch
room is equally as well arranged for
the lunches which will be served here
at the noon hour.
The Rest Room will be open from
eleven to half after three in the after
noon, and here for a nominal sum
lunches will be served each day.
But it must be understood that the
Rest Room is intended for the use of
the women of Pensacola, and there is
no price attached to its use. The bus
mess women and others are invited
to rest in its easy chairs, enjoy its
books, and the other comforts afford
ed whether they care for lunch or
not.
The Rest Room is much needed. and
many congratulatory words were
heard yesterday afternoon on the fact
that such splendid beginning has
been made-a beginning which may
develop into service to the women
of Pensacola which may hardly be
computed.

WAS THE CHICAGO SUFFRAGE
PARADE WORTH WHILE.

Anti-suffragists are making propa-
ganda of statement picked up at
random in a Chicago paper that the
Chicago Suffrage Parade cost $50, 800.
This estimate included 1000 pairs of
rubbers alphabetically purchased for
the parade, finery ruined by rain, S.
600; umbrellas broken by wind, S10O.
and raineoats rented for the day. ST.
200. 1t ommitted all mention of a
possible 10000 boxes of qufnine pills
after the wetting each woman went
through; extra cab fares; laundry
bills and fees to the tailor. As the
Chicago papers made much of the
wagon load of hairpins, pieces of UNI
brellas and other garments picked IN
by the white wings the next dav.-
probably these estimates are far too
low. One might go on heaping IN
what individuals paid until the sum
reached $1,000,000. Suppose it did.
Two planks were won to the cause.
and suffrage money was evidently
not wasted, According to news
paper reports, those drenched and
dragged women made the most i'm
mediately effective plea ever made for
suffrage. If the parade cost the
marchers, as individuals, the sum of
$100.000-there is no pretense by
anybody of its costing campaign
funds anything like this, or a TWEEN
tieth part of this-it seems to have
been well worth the money. This was
national parade. It helped to win
two national planks. Suffragists from
coast to coast were benefited by it. If
there are 100000 suffragists in
the United States-a reasonably low
guess-this parade cost them one cent
apiece. Cheap enough.
