WHSON-HUGHES,

Col. Roosevelt: Mr.. Wilson has
been tried and found wanting. His
party, because of it's devotion to the
outworn theory Of state rights, and
because of its reliance upon purely
sectional support, stands against
that spirit, of far sighted national
ism which is essential If we are to
deal adequately with our grayest So
cial and industrial problems. Mr.
Wilson and his party have in actual
practice lamentably failed to safe
guard the interest and honor of the
United States. They have brought
us to impotence abroad and to di-
vision and weakness at home. They
have accustomed us to see the high
est and most responsible offices of
government filled by incompetent
men appointed only for reasons of
partisan politics. They have dulled
the moral sense Of the people. They
have taught us that peace, the peace
of cowardice and dishonor and in
difference to the welfare of others,
is to be put above righteousness,
above the stern and unflinching per-
torrance Of duty whether the duty

SENATE AND SOLDIERS.

The soldiers who have responded
to the call of their country have had
many experiences of unpleasant
character and at times may feel that
the government is not doing for them
all that 1t should. This is just and
natural. The government is short
in it's duty and exhibits parsimony
that is inexcusable. But the sold
iers should remember that the gov
eminent, In matters under consid-
Grafton, is not the people. The boys
did not enlist to serve the president
and congress. They enlisted to serve
their country and il the high ofic-
ials, including members Of congress,
who happen to be in temporary con-
troll of the machinery Of government

is pleasant or unpleasant. Yet in
Mexico they have failed even to Sc
cure the peace which they thus
sought, and they have failed in spite
of the most ample opportunity and
most ample warning, to prepare in
any real fashion to meet the crisis
which their own policy invited. They
have taught us to put safety first,
safety before duty and honor; to put
that materialism which expresses it.
self in mere money making, and in
1.-THE fatted ease of life, above all
spiritual things, above all the high
and fine instincts of the soul. They
thave taught us to accept adroit elo-
|cution as a substitute for straight
forward and efficient action. They
lhave raised INDIGESTION, hesitancy and
lvacillation into settled govern
mental policy.
| 'Mr. Hughes has shown in his ca
reer the instinct of efficiency which
will guarantee that, under him, the
government will once more work
with vigor and force. He possesses
that habit of straightforward think
l. ing which means that his words will
be correlated with his deeds and
translated into facts. His past ca
reer is the warrant for our belief
that he will be the unfaltering OPP
ponent of that system Of invisible
government which finds express
sion in the domination of the party
boss and the party machine. His
past career is a guarantee that what
ever he says before election will be
made good by his acts after election.
Morally, his public record shows him
to be man of unbending integrity;
intellectually it shows him to be a
man of original and trained ability.
We have the alternative of continu-
ing in once an administration which
has proved a lamentable failure, or
of putting into Office an administra-
ton which we have every reason to-
believe will function with efficiency
for the interest and honor of all our
people. earnestly bespeak from my
fellow Progressives their ungrudg-
| ing support Of Mr.. Hughes"

WHY THEY CHANGED.

Iowa City Republican: A lot OF
newspapers that do not understand
the tendency of the times, assume
that when certain democrats chang
ed party affiliations, they did so for
some sinister purpose, the charge be-
ing generally made that it was for
the purpose of voting for some par
ticular candidate at the primary.
When a man is. dishonest enough to
vote for a candidate not Of his own
party, he walks up to the polls and
calls for the party ticket he wants,
regardless OF his political affiliations.
Webster City freeman. [volume] (Webster City, Hamilton County, Iowa) 1884-1946, 1916-07-04

but when he takes the trouble to
swear to change of party, it means
something. The Republican is rea-
sonably familiar with the situation
in this congressional district, where
more than 1000 democrats have fill
ed affidavits announcing a change
from the democratic to the republic
can party. The movement to this
end antedated the primary campaign
and the announcement of some of
the candidates. An element of the
Webster City freeman. [volume] (Webster City, Hamilton County, Iowa) 1884-1946, 1916-07-04

democratic party is hostile to Presi-
dent Wilson. They look upon him
as partisan of England, and these
former democrats do not intend long
er to be members of the party headed
by Wilson. That is all there is to
this change of parties in Iowa. Yet,
instead of being welcomed to the re-
publican party, a lot of foolish re-
publican papers are meeting these
recruits with abuse and question:
ing Of their sincerity.

President Wilson has a fine COM
mand of the English language and
can convey his thoughts in the fin
est kind of dress. But in that re-
spect he has nothing on Judge

), Carranza complains that American
soldiers in Mexico have misused pri-
,xate citizens and non-combatants in
some OF the towns through which
they have passed There is probably
not a word of truth in Carranza' s
claims. 1t is hard to believe that a
soldier of the United States would
misuse non-combatants, thus bring
ing disgrace to the flag he has sworn
to honor. American soldiers In
Mexico have a rare opportunity to
serve their country by conducting
themselves in soldiery manner and
by winning the respect of the peo-
pie with whom they come in con-
