THE SHORTENING CAMPAIGN.
The vice. Presidency and the One Life.

To THE EpfToR OF THE SuN-str: I
v not seen the point emphasized or
even brought out by the campaign speak
ers that the voters nave to choose not
only between Hughes and Wilson but
between Fairbanks and Marshall. The
fact that there 10 only one life between
the Presidency and the vice-Presidency
makes It very important that we should
choose the right man as vlce-President.
and 1t Is an appalling thought what
would become Of the country with Mar
shall as President. with Daniels and
Redfeld on the side. Why do not tho
campaign speakers bring this out? I
suggested 1t to a friend Of mine and he
said II was enough to make him vote
for Hughes. although no had intended
