Mr.. HUGHES SAYS
ALL AREFOR WAR
Declares Republican Majority
in Congress Would Not Re-
tard President.

NEW YORK. October 30.-Charles
E. Hughes addressed tho Union
League Club last night in regard to
President Wilson's appeal for the
election of a. democratic Congress-. He
scoffed at the suggestion that the
election of a republican majority in
either or both houses OF Congress
would involve. a reflection on. the
President and reputation Of his
leadership. Mr.. Hughes said. in part:
Party Should Not Limit.
'Tt is said that the return of a re-
publican majority to either house of
Congress would be interpreted as
reputation of the leadership of the
President. I think that from a ma
tiona standpoint the suggestion is
most unfortunate. IF the President
stood before the nations of the world
would be slight indeed. His just in
1uence is based on the extent to which
he faithfully represents the sent1-
llnent of this nation. regardless Of
party. He. will not DO the effective
spokesman Of tho nation, save as
with those representing the important
thought Of the nation he can DO said
to express a strongly preponderating
If not unanimous sentiment
But how Is the sentiment Of the
country to find expression If we do
not send to tho nations assembly
those who represent our opinion? How
is the nations will to be truly voiced
if voters do not exprese their honest
convictions?
mol There is a better way. We are
all for the war. We are unanimous
l. II
to complete victory. Let US have free
expression, let us send our repre-
sentatives to Congress, let there be
fair and open discussion and free con-
sultation and then we can trust the
future. With the country almost
equally divided between two parties,
the freest expression and choice Of
representatives should be welcomed.

Subject of Inquiry.

made by the bureau of standards and
the fuel administration.
Some interesting light on this sub
ject has been afforded the government
by the war board Of the American
Electric Railway Association as the
| result Of q QUESTIONABLE sent by the
board to about 1000 street railway
companies throughout the country.
Returns from the questionnaire, it is
| stated, show that there are 6.3S1 nom

performing essential service. that is,
meeting the demands of territories not
served by street railway lines. Most
| of the so-called essential jitneys
! operate to camps and cantonments.
Camp Grant, for example. having its
| transportation needs met bye 800 jit-
neyS.
The fuel administrations interest in
the matter is concerned with gasoline
consumption. According to the figures
| given it by the war board. jitneys that
are performing non-essential service
| or covering territory which street
railway lines are prepared to serve
consume approximately 100000 gal
Ions of gasoline year.
The bureau Of standards is interested
in the conservation of labor and mate
! rails. and for this reason has started
an investigation to determine to what
extent there is duplication Of service in
jitney operation.
The Office of the provost marshal gen.
eral also has been investigating what
saving Of man power could be effected
through the elimination of non-essential
labor Of this character.
Affected by Natural Causes.
Jitneys have been dealt a hard blow
by natural causes, the report to the
government shows. Before the war
there were something like 10000 of them
in operation.
W. ". Hill, assistant manager of the
railway war board who sent out the
QUESTIONABLE for information. as to the
jitney situation, ascribes their decline
to the increased demand: for labor which
has enabled the jitney driver to obtain
a wage in excess of what he could earn
in the jitney business; the requirements
Of the draft, the increased cost Of opera
ton and various regulatory enactments
by states and cities in some sections of
