wR. HUGHES TO The RESCUE

Before sailing for Brazil. Mr. Chas
= Hughes lelt called upoa to write a
defense Of Senator Newberry, but ii
failed % clear away the fog which
hangs over his head and the head OF
mis- party like the blood on Macbeth s
hands.
Mr. Hughes is an ugly partisan and
IS guilty OF ugly sayings.
For example wien he was making
ais race for governor of New York
against Mr. William Randolph Hearst
he made the accusation against him
that he ispired the assassination CT
President Mckinley.
That was a grave charge for any
one 80 have made against ar oppon-
ent and was as false as it was grave.
7oeaking OF Mr. Hughes letter in
nse Of Senator Newberry. II a
i.s article printed IN the New York
World Sayoyayd, the brilliant Wash
ne. on correspondent. has the follou-
IN 70 say:
Il am surprised aud panied when
reaf the severe adverse criticism
The World aurls ar the G.. o. P. 1t is
the Party OF Great Moral ideals. 1t
Is immaculate. Il leaves in pitch and
remains undefed. 1t is given to it 10
10 evil that good may be the harvest
L Is ceaseless on the job of gather
ing figs from thistles and pluckins
grapes from thorns. It is infalliable,
and that is why it is callous to the cen
sure of the depraved and the ungodly
such as The New York World.
Truman H. Newberry is of the stuff
Of which martyrs are made. Charles
+. Hughes is not only the master
mind" that purveys wisdom for the
guidance of the G. o. P, but be is the
exemplar of that purity of citizenship
practiced by the elite of that gang that
boasts its 100 per cent Americanism
When he resorts to the ceremony of
laying on hands, why should not the
malefactor be cleansed of iniquity
and allowed to write his name large
and high on the roll of martyrs? The
New York World ought TO gather the
grace 10 be ashamed of itself
In 1929 nearly 100 per cent OF the
Christian churches declared for the
League Of Nations II gave much con
Germ to the elect OF the c.. o. P. Some
thing had to be done A harvest from
the field sown to evil was absolutely
indispensable 10 the poitica. situa
ton that confronted the Party OF
Great Moral IDEALS. Mr.. Hughes and
thirty OF his associate 'master.uinds q
assured the churches that the one way
GO secure Americas memberships in
the League OF Nations was to elect
Warren &. Harding president Of the
United States. Now it cannot be
again said that had Tammany Hall
played such game Of bunc0 as that
during political campaign, the devils

20 vamp Tammany. No doubt OF that.
Bur as it was strategy of the Parry
of Great Moral Ideals. the devil him
self took % fight ana occupied a DO
siticn behind the G. 0. P.
And why not? Had not Henry
Cabot Lcdae and his fellow 100 per
cent Americans OF the Senate preach
Ell a pertervit and superiative cam
agn0le against the League? Il was
agreed by Lodge ana his fellow mas.
ter minds that we were not fit 20 be
the moral leaders of the world They
had TO be sustained. That made it
imperative to bunco the church.
Mr.. Editor, heard prominent Re-
publican say the other day that his
ticket for 1924 is Hughes and Borah.
suggested that it was rather porten-
tous that in 1884 the G. o. P. nominal

as far apart in thought and in method
as Hughes and Borah. then remind
