Hughes Hadn't the Nerve" to
Demand fiI.huster in the Sen
ate Against the Law.
WILSON'S ACT COURAGEOUS
Member of CIeveland's Cabinet Praises
Presidents Domestic Achieve
ments and Policy Of
Averting War.

No American can speak with higher
authority on the issues of this cam
paign than Richard Olney, who was
President Cleveland's Attorney Gener-
al during the railroad strike of 1894,
and President Cleveland's Secretary
of State when the Venezuelan message
was sent to the British Government.
He should know whether President
Wilson'S action in averting the rail-
road strike was a surrender to force;
whether the Wilson foreign policy has
been "timid and vacillating'.
MIR. Olney seeks no political prefer
ment his interest is that of a retired
statesman, of a wise, experienced, dis
passionate patriot. who is concerned
only with the welfare of his country.
MIR. Olney has written for the New
York World a signed article in which
he warns the American people against
the danger sure to result from turning
over their affairs to Mr.. Hughes and
the interests which would dictate his
policies, foreign and domestic.
Where Mas Hughes Nerve?
Discussing the passage of the Adam
son eight-hour law, Mr.. Olney points
out that the Republicans of the Senate,
IT they had really wished more time
for consideration of the bill, could
have obtained it by means of a filibus-
ter, as a recognized Senatorial wea-
pOn and adds:
"Why did not the Republican Sena-
tors resort to it m get all the time
for elaboration they wanted? What
was Candidate Hughes doing that he
did not make the wires hot with
messages to MISUNDERSTANDING
against the law the seventy-four Re-
publican Representatives who voted
for it and urging the twenty-eight Re-
publican Senators to %fiIibuster to the
last ditch?
But neither he nor the Republican
leaders generally had the nerve to face
the situation. With ample means in
their hands to prevent legislation until
after its due consideration, they de-
liberately elected that it Should appear
to be enacted under coercion in order
that, after the great national deliver
ance had been effected, they might
object to the mode of it's accomplish
ment.
