HUGHES WHISPERS.
Mr.. Hughes, when governor of
New York, vetoed a bill giving wo-
man teachers in New York equal
pay with men for equal hours
of work. If he will not give you equal
pay for equal work. why give you the
vote? We must Judge a tree by the
fruit 1t bears-not by its foliage.
CHILD LABOR LAW.
1.-THE Republicans emancipated the
negro slaves, but they did not emanci-
pate the children of the country from
slavery in the mines, mills and sweat
shops. They believe in the conserva-
ton of our natural resources when dol
lars and cents are concerned, but we
believe in conserving human resources.
The Democrats abolished child slavery.
President Wilson has said: Suffer
little children to come'-out of the
mines. mills and sweatshops. The Re-
publicans say that this administration
has been a failure. Ask the child
workers IL 1t has been failure.
President Wilson has been accused
of kicking out some Republican office
holders and putting Democrats in
their places.
Wilson has not been nearly so bad
In that respect as some of us Demo-
Gratis think he should have been, and
| if Hughes is elected and does not kick
out some Democrats to make room for
Republicans he will have a mighty dis
satisfied Republican party to settle
with.
There has been big outcry about
the one term plank in the 1912 Demo-
cratic platform. We put that plank in
our platform four years ago, and we
took 1t out in 1915. 1t was our plank.
The Republicans have been so con-
cerned over the welfare of the lumber
trust that they could not bear to see
us do as we pleased with our own
plank.
LAS a matter OF fact, they entirely
missed the point of this one term at
fair. Four years ago Taft was presi-
dent. He was just finishing his first
term. and we thought one term was
enough, Tor him.
FOREIGN POLICIES.
/ when they criticise President Will
sons foreign policies the Republicans
insist that he has not gone far enough
But to go farther meant war; War it
self
ut Is better to write notes and to
read notes, so long as that can be done
with honor in the quest of peace, than
to get into war. 1t is better to read
notes than to read the endless lists of
dead, wounded and missing which
Europe has to scan every day"
| ! Discussion of the Mexican question
was prefaced by the senator with the
statement that Mexico is q nation of
100000 people, of whom $4,000, 900
are untitled for self government, but
all of whom are animate by a desire
and q thirst for liberty"
He then read a sentence from a note
which Lincoln. one month and two days
after his first Inauguration, dispatched
to lis ambassador at Mexico City.
Some Americans had been killed, Gore
explained, but Lincolns note contained
that assurance that under no circum-
stances would the United States in
teryene.
WAN . I An 6ASiEIs
.If Roosevelt had been elected four
years ago we should now be at war. If
Mr. Hughes had been president last
winter we should have been precipi-
tated into butchery and blood.
How easily wars start! Serbian
youth murdered the heir to a throne
and all of Europe became involved in
strife. Are heirs so precious then? l
would sacrifice all the rulers and
princes of Europe before would will
lingly risk the life of one Boise boy
| here in war
i whenever our real honor is imper-
lied we shall not be found wanting
Whenever our real honor is in danger
every American sword will leap from
its scabbard to be welded in defense.
but for no trivial reason shall we be
plunged in war.
IF Mr.. Hughes had been president.
judging from what he has said. we
would now be involved in a war with
| Germany. And we would be engaged
in a slaughter with Mexico.
Il do not believe the Republicans
thought they could elect a president
But they thought that II they could
not elect president. they could at
least recall judge.
"Re-elect Wilson ami insure for this
country peace, plenty and prosperity.
A vote for Wilson is a vote for peace;
n vote for Hughes is a vote for war.
You can take your choice.
But q Democratic administration
without Democratic senate and house
will soon lapse into paralysis. You
are not to elect a senator from this
state this year, but l appeal to you to
send to the presidents support two
! Democratic representatives"
