HUGHES FOR ARBITRATION.
He Would Be First to Accord to Labor
All Rights Found Just After
Consideration.

In his Maine speeches Mr.. Hughes
made 1t plain that he was not attack
ing labor or the equity Of the pro-
posed increase of wages for the rail-
road men. He was simply contending
for the all important principle of arbi-
tration as the right means Of settle
ment OF such questions. Speaking at
different places in Maine, Mr.. Hughes
dwelt upon this question, saying:
Il deeply deplore, in the name of
labor, in the name Of justice, in the
name OF American ideals, the surren-
der of the Executive and Of Congress
to force, instead OF permitting reason
to reign.
THE measure to which have allud-l
ed was not, properly speaking, an
eight-hour measure. 1t was wage
measure. 1t was plain proposition
for a change in the wage scale. do
not speak of the equity Of that. That
is matter to be fairly considered. I
want what is just and right with re-
spect to wages. l am for the arbitra-
ton and the peaceful settlement of
these Industrial controversies. We
can settle everything in this country
If we approach those matters with
fair and open mind and an examna-
ton of the facts
This particular measure shows on
It's face that it was legislation in adj
vance OF the investigation, instead
of investigation in advance Of legisla-
ton. 1t is said that there was in it's
favor the judgment of society. The
judgment Of society in this country
has never been passed in favor OF leg
islation without knowledge Of the equi-
~ and regardless Of the facts of the
case. There was no judgment of so
ciety In favor Of the roads which were
excepted from its provisions. II there
was judgment of society, why not ap-
ply the rule to electric or other kinds |
OF roads or roads less than 100 miles |
In length? l say, away with such pre- |
tense! 1t was surrender to force in
stead of clear, candid, faithful
framed examination of the facts, and |
then action in accordance with Ameri-
can principles.
"AutOcracy represents force; tyran-
ny represents force. Democracy rep
resents the rule of the. common judy
nent after discussion, after an oppor-
unity to know the facts"

DR.. HARVEY w. WILEY
TO VOTE FOR HUGHES.
He Says Wilson Has Failed to Enforce
Pure Food Law.

II favor the election of Mr.. Hughes
to the Presidency for entirely differ
ent reasons than those held by most
OF his supporters. 1t is not because
OF the Mexican policy nor the foreign
policy Of the Administration nor by
reason OF its domestic policies. 1t is
because OF the apparent Indifference
OF the Administration Of President
Wilson to the cause of pure food and
drugs. Practically all of the abuses
which were injected into the Pure
Food Law by the preceding Adminis-
trations are still in force. Benzoate
of soda Is still regnant The fumes
of burning sulphur are marching along
undisturbed. There Is evidently a lull
in the activities of the Administration
of the law. A well-known beverage, de-
clared by the Supreme Court misbrand-
ed and amenable to the Food Law has
not been mOlested. No attempt has been
made to enforce the law In regard to
the bleaching of flour. The repeal of
the mixed flour law, that splendid
safeguard to the purity Of our bread,
has been tacitly approved by the
Treasury Department.
MIR. Hughes In his activities on
the Supreme Court has stood like a
stone wall for the proper Administers
ton Of the Food Law. believe his
election would see a radical change
in the attitude of the government
towards pure food and pure drugs, SO
vital to the welfare of our people. #
For this reason, sincerely hope that
Mr.. Hughes may be Chosen as our
next President.
II should, expect Mr.. Hughes as
President to have the same attitude
toward the pure food and drug law
that he had as judge on the bench
and to appoint a secretary Of agri-
culture with subordinate officers who
would be enthusiastic and earnest in
the enforcement of the pure food law

had no idea that there would be such an
avalanche OF votes thrown into the polls
on the last night.
At half past seven Mrs. Treadway ap-
peared with fine warm breakfast, and
also with some maddening sympathy, un-
relished by the tired MIR. Treadway.
"Who won, Henry?' asked Mrs. Tread
way, as she rose to depart.
Il can't tell you. There's a few votes
more to count"
aBut you must know by this time."
aRun along, now,' replied Mr.. Tread
way. II wouldn't tell anybody, even If
knew. Go on, now, and leave me alone.
"Bite off my head!" said Mrs. Tread
way indignantly. @That's what get for
fixing nice breakfast and coming down
here in the rain with it,
Mr.. Treadway shrugged his shoulders
and sank his teeth vindictively into slice
of buttered toast.
AT half past eight the door Of the Ban
ner Office opened again, and Starr and
Joel Tibb came in. In reply to their
greetings Mr.. Treadway grunted sourly.
@Don't you feel clipper this morning?"
asked Joel.
aNo, don't. Do you?" was the reply.
aWhy, feel we'll enough, said Joel
more for the sake, however, of convincing
himself than of convincing Henry. Then
he added, looking at Starr out of the cor
ner of his eye: "Well, suppose some
body's the most popular man in Boxton.
Don't be scared, Henry; we didn't come
over here to pump you about that; we
just sort of thought we'd drop over to see
you. 1t looks like it's going to be a rotten
day. I told you, Mr.. Starr, that we had
rotten weather in Boxton sometimes
"I'm an optimist, Joel" replied Starr.
@We've had pretty fine weather up to
yesterday. OF course, 'twould have been
better to have the whole week fine; but
there are compensations."
"Well, what are they?" growled Mr.
Treadway.
Starr laughed. Il don't know" he ad-
mitted. "That's for us mortals to find
out"
Starr walked around the Office awhile,
with his hands in his pockets, whistling
Then he asked:
"Say, Henry, what do you think of our
old-homer, MIR. Tinker o." se
@If had my way I'd take that hobo
to the town line and boot him across, re-
sponded Mr. Treadway. "Thank heaven,
had no part in planting him in the hotel
at the towns expense! You remember, l
said at the time"
3Come on, JOEL" interrupted Starr.
@The editor is in bad humor this morn
ing. We've no business in his sancttlm,
anyway"
AS they were leaving, he called back:
"I suppose you'll be pretty busy to-day,
Henry. Well, there won't be anything
doing till the meeting at Town Hall to-
night. Therell be big crowd there, rain
or no rain. The towns pretty we'll
worked up over your voting contest. See
you later
After the men had gone, Mr., Treadway
looked out the window and groaned.
"Pretty well worked up, are they?" he
said to himself.
And then he uttered the first deliber-
ately profane word of his deaconhood.
He drew in long breath, and said it with
malice aforethought. He knew it was
wrong to say it, but he had reached that

like Mauser bullet and brought half the
crowd off their chairs. And then the
news ran like fire through the packed
audience: "Ezra Mudge!'
1t seemed that, for an instant, the con-
stable had barred the entrance of Ezra
and his companion, the faithful DR..
Crumb. But it was only for an instant.
The old man had wilted the doorkeeper
with one of his old-time domineering
glances. He came in.
And Ezra not only came in-he said
sternly to those in front of him: snake
way, there!' And they made way. The
moment the two old men passed through
the standing crowd into the aisle between
the seats, two men rose quickly and offered
their chairs. One of them was John Will
bur, former selectman, and unwavering
in his fidelity to Ezras The whole trans
action was over so quickly that it seemed
prearranged.
MOST eyes were fixed upon the grim,
40 self-satisfied visage of Ezra. He ap-
peared abundantly well. He sat upright
in his chair, gripping his cane in his two
hands and looking up expectantly at
Henry Treadway. He seemed to be ut
terly unconscious of the fact that his sud-
den appearance was anything out of the
ordinary.
But Henry Treadway, on the platform,
went as white as paper. He turned to
Starr and gave him an appealing glance.
Starr, understanding the meaning of
that glance, was at the EDITORS side in
an instant, whispering, whats wrong,
Henry"
II can't go on, Mr.. Starr" replied
Treadway hollowly. "I'm a sick man.
1 feel like was going to faint. It's all
written down here
He took the paper from the table and
thrust it into Starts hand.
Without moments hesitation, Starr
stepped to the edge of the platform and
held up his hand. There was hush.
Then he said:
"My friends, l wish to ask your in
diligence in behalf Of Mr.. Treadway He
is overworked, and unable to proceed. I
have here in my hand the result Of the
voting contest. I will ask Mr.. Bisbee to
read it to you, and Mr.. Edmonds to chalk
down the figures as they are read
Mr.. Bisbee stepped forward with alac-
rity and read in powerful voice:
"This is to certify that 1, Henry Tread
way, have counted the votes in the Ban
ner contest, and find the result to be as
follows:
"Walter Eadbrook, 1891
He paused to let the announcement sink
in. There were deafening shouts, that
died out quickly as the announcer was
seen to continue:
a. Bradlee Starr, 9.666"
A smile came upon Starr's face. He
reached over and grasped Eadbrook by
the hand, and the crowd was in an uproar
again.
@Joel Tibb, 1,OO6.
"Dr. Melville, 391."
Complimentary cheers were freely
awarded Messrs. Tibb and Melville,
neither of whom seemed to be disap-
pointed with their humble tokens Of
popularity.
Few persons observed that Mr.. Bisbee
suddenly brought the paper from which
he was reading up toward his eyes with a
jerk, and that he underwent something

4There's the band playing" exclaimed
Louise, with sigh of relief.
"We'll have to hurry replied Miss
Burbridge; and they scampered away,
hand in hand, like two schoolgirls.
Part of the parade was already on
the move when Miss Helen Bisbee, cor
rectly CARRIED in the costume Of lady abb
origine, came out of the parsonage and
was assisted to her place ON the float by
the youth who had been stationed outside
to keep the younger fry from clambering
all over the primeval scenery.
For thirty-five mortal minutes Mr.. Joe
Tinker had been writhing in agony inside
the wigwam. 1t was hot day, and the
hottest possible place on a hot day is in
side conical Khaki tent that has no
opening to the air except sky-hole at
the top. Every few moments MIR.
Tinker had cautiously raised the bottom
half inch and peered out. But there
had never been any opportunity of es-
cape. Near voices told him, each time,
that the vicinity was we'll stocked with
spectators.
And now, when he heard the voice of
Miss Bisbee at his elbow, even perceived
the rustic OF her tribal garments against
the khaki, he felt that the crucial moment
of his life had come.
He made up his mind that it was un-
safe to wait for more company. He got
down on his hands and knees, raised the
bottom Of the tepee slightly on the side
toward Miss Bisbee, and politely coughed.
He could just see the tops OF the lady's
moccasins. The cough attracted Pocahon
tas's attention, and she looked around.
just as she was examining the vicinage,
she saw group of four fingers, accom-
panied by thumb, slide out from be-
meath the tepee, and she heard strange
voice say: @Excuse me, lady; it amt my
fault; my pants has been stole!'
The body of Miss Bsbee became sud-
denly rigid, and with shrill cry she col
lapsed. As she fell to the floor of the
float Mr. Tinker uttered stifed groan,
hooked his fingers into an Indian blanket
that had been carried by Miss Bisbee,
and exultingly coiled it about his person.
With astonishment that rendered them
helpless, the other actors, punched on the
sidewalk, saw the tepee suddenly rise
into the air and topple into the street.
At the same time they saw the figure of
corpulent man slip from the end OF the
wagon and scud away. He was clinging
with one hand to the Indian blanket; in
the other he had his hat.
Two more lady Indians collapsed on
the sidewalk. A great shout went up
from the younger fry. They saw the flee
ing figure trip on the hanging end of the
blanket and go sprawling in. the dusty
road; they saw him pick himself up and
press forward.
~ Rain dripping from the caves; rain
pattering on the roots; rain beating against
the windows; rain forcing its way into
every Granny; rivulets coursing down the
cutters; and over all hopeless leaden
sky, portent of more rain.
The fakirs over in the Coppins lot were
huddled in their scant shelters, grumbling,
wishing themselves hence, cursing BoXton
and Boxton weather, and their luck. The
ground was sodden, and breathed yeasty
odor, and sucked spongily at the feet.

At eight o'clock the Town Hall was so
crowded that it was considered expedient
to station the constable at the main door,
with instructions to admit only official
personages or influential citizens who
might be able to cause more trouble by
being kept out than by being jammed in.
A band-even the worst possible Of all
bands-knows by long experience just
what music it is supposed to play on such
occasions. 1t serves as an indicator of
public estimation. For instance, when
J. Bradlee Starr came down the main
aisle and climbed upon the platform, the
band burst forth with "He's Jolly Good
Fellow" The audience replied vocifer-
ously that he ,uas a jolly good fellow.
And, for another instance, when Walter
Eadbrook came down the aisle Cooking
considerably down in the mouth, it was
remarked), the band struck up 3See, the
Conquering Hero Comes!'-and this was
we'll reciprocated by the audience.
@He's got it cinched!" whispered many
men to their neighbors. "Eadbrook's

him."
EZRA MUDGE'S name at the foot of
the column was the object of mer-
riment. 1t was understood perfectly that
at the crucial moment Henry Treadway
was going to chalk down after Ezra S name
a large figure 1. Louise Searles, sitting
beside her friend Katherine Burbridge,
well back in the rear of the hall, was di-
vided between two opposite sensations.
With firmness about the mouth, she
had whispered al think it's outrageous
for Henry Treadway to put my fathers
name on that board. It's just the only
way he knows of to insult him. I'll never
speak to him again, never!"
But at the very next moment she was
torn from that reflection by hearing Ead-
brooks name shouted thunderingly; and
she could not resist clapping her hands
with the others when she heard: Hes
all right! Who's all right? Eadbrook"
"Oh!" murmured Louise, smuggling
against her companion. "Hear them,
Katherine! hey-like-him-don they?"
"He's got it nailed down, Louise,
whispered Miss Burbridge. "Theres
nothing to it. Hurrah for Walter!'
The advent of Henry Treadway was the

But if Henry Treadway was the great
est man they had ever known, he did
not, at the moment, look it. He looked
like man destined soon to pass from the
sight of mortal eyes. His sleepless night,
and the obvious agitation that had hold
of him, and his natural timidity in the
presence of crowd, and whatever else
was weighing upon his mind, contrived
to make him haggard and uninspiring
figure. In one hand he carried reporters
notebook, and in the other a signed
statement, sworn to before notary five
minutes before, that "the counting of
votes had resulted" etc. Henry meant
to be on the safe side.
Mr.. Treadway wildly stared at the
faces before him for moment; then he
laid the documents on the table with the
loving-cup, and ran his right hand through
his hair.
There was a moment of agonizing 81

Mexicans Following
Americans Pretend to
Be "Chasing' Them
One American Wounded by Shippers - "'Pursu-
ing" Force Keeps out of Sight or
Conceals Weapons

Field Headquarters, Mexico, May 20
Via wireless to Columbus, y. NJ, May
troopers of the eth Cavalry
were fired upon yesterday near the town
of Temosaohic and one was wounded
The attack is ascribed to bandits hiding
under, bridge near the town, which is
a few miles southeast of MADEIRA, on the
Mexico Northwestern Railroad.
After a few shots the MeXcans fled and
the Americans continued on their way.
A small group of MeXcans is falling
in behind the American columns as they
move northward, always keeping out of
sight, but telling the natives that they
are chasing the "Gringoes'' from Mexican
soil. They stop whenever the Americans
halt and hide or disarm if Gen. Perish
ing's men approach them.
Two suppositions are prevalent regard
ing the identity Of these men. One is
that they are Carranzstas trying to give
the American movement the appearance
of retreat. The other is that they are
bandits seeking to annoy the Americans
by snping. The latter conjecture is re-
garded as the more probable.
This in the first intimation received re-
Gently that American soldiers were sta
toned SO far to the south.
