Who can escape the conviction that Mr. LWltson Is at heart a pacifist who for policy's flake has masqueraded as an advocate of Ntredness? Or that he Is at heart an JwU-sUffrsgltt who for policy's sake speaks hlr words to the women? These traits of character are entirely at Variance with American Ideals. The people : this country want to feel that they have i the White House a. man whose actions Sire not governed by cowardice and covered kg by hypocrisy.

Ofllctsl New Jrr state JMIior Pen neme "XUilmtlUa." Winner of Third Ytlte, $200 In this national campaign the big ques tion to be settled Is not one of parties or platforms or personalities. It Is simply "rinriiirr ir ungues would maKe a littler, or as good. President and bo able to render the publlo more emclent. or as efficient, serlce than President Wilson. We may measure expectations of a sec ond term for President Wilson by the rec ord of his rtrst term. The acid test of fit ness Is reiults, Tho legislative achievements of the WIU son Administration Include acts reforming and making panic-proof the currency sys tem, revising the tariff with the-purpose of encouraging competition and lowering un warrantably high prices. protdtng for ship purchases and other steps In upbuilding our merchant marine that hae already doubled the tonnage In order to enlarge our foreign markets, amending and making more practical anti-trust laws, creating a Federal Trade Commission to prevent un fair huslness methods, a Hoard of Concilia tion and Mediation to avert or end strikes, a Tariff Commission to substitute scientific Inquiry for prejudice, politics and pull In framing tariff schedules, preventing trsde dumping, against child labor, for an eight hour day, prohibiting abuse of Injunctions In labor disputes, protecting sailors and the safety of passengers, recognising that hu man labor Is more than a commodity of commerce. Imposing nn Income tax that shifts the burden of taxation so as to make wealth pay Its Just proportion, providing capital at low Interest rates for agricultural development, establishing facilities to sup ply farmers with knowledge of how to In crease production, opening up Alaska and other public land and promoting the de velopment of great national resources while saving them from monopolization, giving the Filplno more self-government and ex tending Federal aid to good roads con struction. Then there are the measures for pre paredness ajatnst war, carrying appropria tions this year ot J662.O0O.O0O 2I.00O,000 more than Great Britain spent on her navy and C-enmany on her army the year before tho great war hegan and meeting the cost by taxing plcthorla Incomes and Inheri tances and munition manufactures. Some Republican votes were cast In Con gress for nearly eery one of these acts. This, though. Is not the whole story, ine lobby has been driven from the capital. trust laws clarified, the rostofflce Depart ment made self-supporting, express extor tion broken up. Interest collected on uov ernment bank, deposits, publlo health serv ice activities broadened and a high order of administrative efficiency everywhere displayed; In our foreign relations perplexing prob lems have crowded thick upon the Adminis tration. In 1913 differences with Japan were amicably adjusted. The Mexican muddle, a legacy from the Taft adminis tration, has not yet been cleared up, but final Judgment cannot be passed upon our Mexican pollsy because Inttrwoven with It was the problem of galng South and Cen tral American confidence, and ultimate con sequences cannot yet be gauged, nor can the wisdom of our course be determined In the absepce of the perspective that only time can give. In our controversy with Germany this country secured all It sought. Negotiations villi England are still In progress; they require time." In a war-mad world we are at peace, with honor, because PresldentsWIlson has remained calm and cool and patient, swayed by the clamor of neither flre-enting Jingoes nor peace-at-any. price pacifists, while firmly Insisting on the maintenance of American rights. Four years ago we were told Wilson's election would mean business ruin. Bank deposits have Increased twenty-six per pent, exports seventy-six per cent. Imports twenty-one tier cent, balance of trade In this country's favor 187 per cent, and our national wealth twenty-two per cent. More men are employed at better wages and for shorter hours than ever before. And war business Is less than one per cent ot the total. If the affairs of our Government have been mismanaged, how could these things be? , Ellhu rtoot once said: "Under ba'd govern ment no fertility of soil, no thrift or In dustry of population, can bring prosperity to a people. Security, opportunity, con fidence, activity of trsde and labor are the fruits of good government alone." As an opposition candidate. It Is the nat ural function ot Mr. Hughes to find fault. But he has nothing better. Indeed nothing definite, to offer. He promises no different policy with regard to Mexico or the Ku ronean belligerents. The tariff and nation allsm have been taken out of politics by Democratic legislation. Illght-hour laws can never be repealed. There Is no clear and; concrete Issue upon whlcn the voters are urged to repudiate an Administration that has meant progress, prosperity and peace. The Hughes campaign is based upon a mobilization of minor grievances, an at tempt to capitalize trivial and often Incon' eiuous dissatisfaction. Can one conceive Mr. Hughes appointing a Justice Brandels to the Supreme Court bench any more than. .one can conoelve of President Wilson opposing ratification or an Income tax amenamenir What, to match the harmonious and united action under Wilson, could Mr. Rotttea accwnrttsH with a congressional team led by Penros-e und Smeot and Oallln leer, standpatters j with t-a Follette, Cum mins and Clapp. Progressives, pulling against them ran any one say what ha would do or cield do as President, lacking, as he would Mr Wilson's experience, pres tige of accomplishment and solid party sup port? Thomas A Kdlsnn. of New Jersey , Henry Ford, of Michigan, Judge lien I.lndey. of Colorado; Francis J lleney. of California. are none of Ihem Democrats. Several months ngo none of these great Americans was supporting Wilson Now. In spite of disagreement with certain ot his policies, all are. Mr Kdlson says "Wilson, has blundered at times but he usually blunders forward He has earned faith and trust I do not think It a logical or sensible thing to change to an Inexperienced and untried man " One need not Indorse every feature of the Wilson Administration to want to see It continued In preference to a change, at a crucial erlod In the world's history, which might bring uncertainty, coufiison and dan ger, and which It Is clear beyond a reason able doubt could not bring Improvement SUFFRAGISTS WILL QUIZ WILSON FROM THE AIR "Why Do You Seek Votes "From Women When You Oppose Votes for Women?" HUGHES "CUTS LOOSE" IN REPLY TO HECKLERS MnkoK Virtrlolic Denial of Charge Ho Is Associated With "Invisible Government" ClUCAaO. Oct. II. Governor Hughes msde his second excurs'on Into Michigan today tn the best fighting trim he has en Joyed since the Itepubllcan eonxentlon here chose him standard bearer for the party. There wasn't any question that the nom inee was pleased with the Impression which he made on his big audience In Sioux City, la . last night. As on previous occasions during his stumping tours It was the heck ler who started Hughes setting pff fire work. Aroused and stimulated by the way In which his audience supported him and sought to drown hecklers by booing, Hughes "cut loose," Never before In his presidential campaigning has the nominee been more .earnestly emphatta, more' dramatic or foree- rui man when he hurled his vitriolic denial to any charge that he waa associated with "Invisible rovernment" and counted this Arllh a pledge that It elected he would have "visible government." Hughes nrrlved In Chicago shortly before noonNind remained In his private car while It was being transferred from one road to another. The candidate slept late on the train today, being considerably fatigued by last night's experience and, moreover, fav ored by a schedule which did not provide any public appearance for him until tato this evening Hughes expected to make the tariff and labor Issues the main burden ot his discussion In Michigan. Boy Crushed to Death In Elevator David Dalaban, sixteen years old, of 1JH South Second street, was crushed to death yesterday afternoon when ha tell between a freight elevator and Its shaft at (OS San son street He waa an errand boy for a grocery at Sixth and Spruce streets, ami had delivered an order to a restaurant on the fifth floor, On the down trip the acci dent occurred, and the boy died whllo a section ot flooring was being chopped away to release his body. BETTORS CHARGE TRKK IN SHIFT FROM HUGHES Manipulation Alleurcd to Throw "Wilson Scare" in Stock Exchange NEW TOntC Oct ll. Charges that the sudden shift of presidential betting, odds In Wall street from a to 1 against Wilson to 10 to S was a manipulation Intended to throw a "Wilson scare" Into the market and force odds down were made by a number of brokers today. The recent steady ad vance In odds on the exchange was helped on Its way by the Itepubllcan victory In Maine and the 2-to-l figure were established at that time. After 125.000 had been wagered on Hughes at 10 to 8 and 10 to 7 yesterday. 120.000 was reported offered at even today on the curb, Fred Schumm. of Brooklyn, quoted 10 to 9 on Hughoa today and de m WHsjeft svppisrteTs Mssl 4Hs Rs Odd t t I erdNi'aiiMa today HturtMM wmsM eerrr New Tor Mate waa nuoted at ersst . nsotter , while WOsMM backers were seM e afklng l-4e4 adds) that he wouht carry ConsxfctfcMt and t to it on New Jersey. - - HUNTERS VIOLATE FIRK LAWS Jersey Wardens Apprehend IN m First Two Dyg tm TORNTON.

All the stock accompaniments of a na tional presidential election are there. Elec tioneering is everywhere rife; representa tives of the Itepubllcan and Democratic Clubs ot tho University haunt the campus paths to pounce upon the unwary, who have not yet made up their minds, with subtle arguments and persuasions, and groups ot excited friends and classmates gather to thresh out the probable outcome between themselves.

Accordingly they have made all the regular preparations for such an election The voting will take place In Houston Hall between 12:30 and 2:10 and S.00 and 8:00 p. m.
