Hughes Speeches on Low Plane.
Candidate Hughes IS severely CRITICS
ed for the "misstatements" made in
his speeches in the West the last few
days, concerning the alleged removal
of Republican officials not coming
within the civil service law-"protec-
tion,' etc. The heads of the depart
ments which Mr.. Hughes misrepre-
sented characterized his utteIances DIS
false and misleading"-and this is
the "high-minded jurist' lifted from
the bench under the preteXt OF con-
Quoting the campaign on a high
plane"
Ever since Candidate Hughes open
ed his mouth he has exhibited a mar
velous knack of saying things he
hadn't ought TO-" Indeed. it seems
that he has a special penchant for
getting tangled up %OprObably the rea-
son he kept so quiet pending the do
ings at Chicago and if the rope holds
out before the more astute party man
ayers grab it, he probably a be de-
pended on to duly hang himself politi-
cally by the time the hour arrives for
counting the votes in November.
Meantime, the real issues of this
campaign will soon be properly pre-
scented to a thinking and discriminate
ing public in President Wilson's letter
of acceptance: due soon.
