JUST IDLE SPECULATION

Someone writes the Oregonian asking what would
have happened had Hughes instead of Wilson been elected
last November The Oregonan very wisely says the sub
ect is too vast for speculation and besides is the
best but idle guess work. We know what has happened
and confronted with something far more tangible
than speculation to what would have been the result
had the premises been different One thing is quite GER
tain and that is that should have had with Ger
many just the since the evidence overwhelming
that Germany fully intended to attack the United States
had she conquered the allies 1t is also certain she would
have continued her submarine ruthlessness since that
alone all that left her as even chance for vic
tory might have sooner, possibly been delayed
longer but conditions such that could not have
been avoided There is another feature in this connec
ton that might have had bearing on the situation
and that is the fact that congress in both branches is
democratic though the house is about evenly divided It
is question to whether republican president would
have had little opposition has Wilson Unfortunate
y politics enters into measures as everything else
though is time for politics politicians The repub
cans have generally backed the president and doubt
had Hughes been elected the majority of the democrats
would have stood firmly behind him had started.

that they among them represent both old parties.
