In sense, as indicating that the Ger

that the adherence Of Austria to tho

probably would break loose from the

HUGHES is FAITHFUL.


TO those weak-kneed and timorpus
folks who are afraid TO give the presi-
dent the power he needs for the
proper prosecution OF the war on n
consistent cohesive plan, we recon-
mend the words of our late candi-
In recent speech at Saratoga. Mr..
Hughes has no sympathy with those
who pretend TO see the crumblng OF
democratic ideals in the temporary
GENERALIZATION OF power for war pur-
poses. 1--WE are making war as n
nation" he sayB. "organized under the
constitution, from which the estab-
lished national authorities derive all
their powers either In war or peace.
The prosecution OF war demands In
the highest degree the promptness'
directness and unity OF action in mill
tary operations which alone can pro-
ceed from the executive. The exclu-
sive powers 10 command the army and
navy and thus to direct and control
campaigns exhibits not autocracy, but
democracy fighting effectively thr
It's chosen Instruments, and In ac-
cordance with the established organic
law"
How such utterances as this shine
forth In contrast to the carping criti-
cism and undermining half-approval
manifested by 30 many partisans and
towards, some even under the guise
Of party authority and pretending to
get the pace for Republican sentiment.
II anybody could be excused for keep
ing silent az to his approval OF the
president in this crisis It might be the
man whom Mr. Wilson defeated for
the presidency. But no such small
ness of caliber or narrowness OF thot
shows in the Hughes nature. His
stand is the stand of the Republicans
as whole, were there any difference
between parties In this critical time,
the stand OF 90 men OF every hundred
irrespective of political affllation. the
lean citizenship. There Is nothing to
be surprised at In Mr.. Hughes stall
wart loyalty. but his commendable at
titutc should be n rebuke to those mar
row minds who are afraid to trust the
welfare In the hands OF the
chosen leader. No man who
voted for Wilson should doubt him
now, and no man who voted for
should deny the wisdom and
rectitude of his fidelity to the peoples
choice for commander-in-chief
