WHAT PERKINS WROTE
A YEAR AGO.

Geo. w. Perkins, the big Bull Moos-
or, who is now on the National Repub-
lican committee, cuts sorry figure
when accusing political opponents Of
being inconsistent. Here's part of
what he wrote on August 5th of last
year:
"The argument of Messrs. Daven-
port, Robinson and Hamlin is that we
are so weakened that we cannot hope
to win: that il we 60 back en- masse
to the Republican Party we can reform
that party from within and accom-
plish the undoing next year of the
bosses and reactionary tendencies of
that organization.
ITO my mind this is such an absurd
proposition that it hardly requires an
argument against it. If there had been
during this year or any time since
1912 any indication that the owners of
the Republican Party had in the slight
est degree recognized their errors and
reactionary inclination, then the ques-
ton Of returning to that party might
be a debatable one, but every one of
us knows that they have shown no
such inclination, and on the contrary,
wherever they have had a chance,
have been more reactionary than

ever"
Indeed, the very fact of our re-
turning now, with all the things that
the Republican Party has done since
1912, would have to be constructed as
indorsing all these actions, and as a
complete surrender on our part and
an acknowledgment that we were
wrong in 1912, and would knuckle un-
der and obey the men whom up to date
we have denounced"
ION the other hand, the Democrats
are showing more indication of being
in favor this next winter of the Tariff
Commission. They have at least taxi
en- tiny little bit of step in our d.
rection on the great trust and corpor-
alton question. In this State New

Hanson CHALLENGES Poindexter.

Ole Hanson, the Progressive leader
in the State of Washington, is very
sincere in his belief that this is not a
time for partisan politics or attacks
upon the President.
las American citizens, as Progress
sives, it is our duty at this time to
silence the harsh criticisms and un-
thinking partisan prejudices and
stand by our President" said Mr.. Han
son in a recent interview.
Mr.. Hanson ran for the United
States senatorship in Washington in
1914 and polled 1922 votes. He is
anxious to engage Senator Miles Poin.
dexter, of the same State, in joint
debate. Mr.. Poindexter was elected to
the Senate as Progressive, trt now

STATESMAN OR POLITICIAN.

Had Mr.. Hughes confined his &C.
ceptance speech to his epigrammatic
phrase, america first and America
efficient" his utterance might have
taken rank with Caesars laconic mes
sage; and it would have been almost
as enlightenilg as the eight thousand
words that followed. Before he was
nominated, and while still on the Su-
preme bench, people complained be-
cause he said nothing to indicate his
opinions on statecraft; now that he
has spoken somewhat at length, the
same complaint is repeated. Mr..
Hughes speech can be justly para
phrased thus: The American govern
ment should be in the hands of wise,
honest and efficient men, who should
do all in their power to advance the
best interests of the country; the
Democrats have failed to meet this
test, as they always have, bat the Re-
publicans will meet it, as they have
done In the past.
Mr.. Hughes has roundly condemned
Mr.. Wilson's policies and actions. That
was his duty as q candidate; for UNI
less grave faults were to b. found in
the present Executive there is no rea-
son in changing. And this is one in
stance, at least, in which Mr.. Hughes
showed efficiency; he condemned his
opponent as effectively as the church
used to damn heretics. But while this
is dramatic, and may serve as a hot
weather diversion, it may be doubted
whether it will achieve the purpose in
tended. Fair-minded people will not
Judge a man by what he failed to &C.
complish, but by what it was possible
to accomplish, and what in all prob
ability any other man would have &C.
complished if subjected to the same
conditions. They will realize that no
President since Lincoln has had such
complicated conditions to meet; and
they will note the fact that in spite
of the many provocations to resort to
arms, both in Europe and in Mexico,
we are still at peace. These matters
could have been handled differently,
no doubt. but what assurance is there
that the result would have been bet
ter? What evidence does Mr. Hughes
Offer that he could have done more
for his country?
There are two recognized ways of
appealing for the SURFACES of ones
countrymen. One Is to abuse the op-
position candidate, and the other 10 to

says he is a Republican. The follow
ing is telegram sent by Mr.. Hanson
to the Democratic National Commit
tee:
I'VE can carry Washington. Can
you shame Senator Poindexter into
debating with me the subject, Shall
Wilson Be Returned?' Poindexter is
afraid, and, like Hughes, is a trimmer.
Both have endorsed the American
Flag, but refuse to get down to fun
damentals. Have challenged Poindex-
ter repeatedly, but to no avail"
