1 Hughes, Mr.. Roosevelt accuses the
Germans Of numbering men, women
| and children. Speaking in the interest
Of Justice Hughes, he finds fault with
President Wilson for not interfering
| whsn Germany entered Belgium.
| Hughes, Mr.. Roosevelt condemns the
President for writing notes to Ger
many when the Lusitania was sunk.
| Can any German sympathizer doubt
| where Mr.. Rooscve1t's heart is, or
where Justice Hughes would be COM
| PEELED to stand IL Roosevelt were back
Of him, as he will be If Hughes is
elected PresidentY
eve do not believe that all Of our
German friends, or anything like ma
jority of them, have so lost their love
for the fatherland as to line up on the
| side Of those who find fault because
this government did not go to war with
Germany over the invasion Of Belgium.
We do not believe that they are so dis
loyal to their friends and relatives
to be right, as to give aid and comfort
to. the worst enemies Of Germany in
this country--namely, the rabid Roosc-
velt and his personal choice for
President. We do not believe that these
sober, staid citizens, Americans as they
are, but sympathizing with their loved
ones across the water, will vote for the
candidate of the man who says those
same loved ones murdered men, women
and children and ought to have been
attacked by the United States. We do
not believe that these German friends
OF ours will vote against President
wilson for having written notes to Ger
many instead of having declared war
upon the Emperor. But that is exactly
what will happen if German sympa-
TIMER votes for Justice Hughes. He
will be aligning himself upon the side
OF the most rabid herman bunch
In this country"

Zone Choice Against Peace"
I'm recent speech President Will
son took occasion to say: All our
foreign policy is wrong, they say, and
II it is wrong and they are men of
conscience they must change it. And
It they are going to change it in what
direction are they going to change it +?
There is one choice as against peace,
and that is war
1T could not be more plainly stated.
President Wilson has followed certain
policies. Those policies have resulted
in our being at peace with the world
to-day The opposite policies would,
OF course, have resulted in war-'there
is one choice against peace, and that is
war Every man who opposes the
policies of President Wilson must
either favor war or he is insincere.
eff Justice Hughes should be elected,
he would, if. he is a man Of conscience,
take Germany to task for the sinking
of the Lusitania. He would even at
this late day, if he is man of con-
science, protest to Germany against
her occupation of Belgium. 1t would
be too late to oppose her invasion of
Belgium, but Germany is still occupy
ing Belgium, and if, as Mr.. Roosevelt
says, and as Mr.. Hughes approves,
the United States should have pro-
tested against the invasion she should
also protest now against occupation.
at is said that if Justice Hughes is
elected President Theodore Roosevelt
will be made Secretary of State. In
fact, it is generally understood that
such will be the case; it has frequently
been mentioned and never denied.
Theodore Roosevelt's first act as Secre-
tary of State would be to give Ger
many so many hours to get out of Bel
GUM. Mark that. He wouldn't be Sec

limit to get out of Belgium. Germany
would, of course, refuse, and the gov
eminent of this country would have
nothing to do but to attempt to put her
out. A state of war would exist; that
is all there is to it. There is one choice
AS against peace and that is war"
Said Women Oppose Draft
In an editorial on October IA, 1916,
discussing whether CONSUMPTION would
be adopted in Australia. and the fact
that women were to vote, the Cover
nor's newspaper had this to say:
"We know how the women of this
country would vote upon the subject
They are as loyal with us as are the
men. They are as patriotic, but they
are opposed to war, and if the Ameri-
can women were to vote to-day upon
conscription they would vote against
it,"
