They can koep stiller In more languages
than any pair of political advlnors In re

Now that the New York Evening
Post has come out for Wilson there Is
no longer any doubt of the election of
-, Hughes. The Tost has been noted for
1 years for Its unerring skill in picking the
loser and finding excuses for It,
Tho Convention Hall, at Broad
street and Allegheny avenue, where the
words "too proud to fight" were uttered,
Is to be torn down. The phrase has 1een
variously Interpreted. Tuesday" will de
cide whether that street corner Is to be
holy ground for tho Democracy or the
taunt of melancholy ghosts of regrets.
Every man who wishes to Insure
the election of JUdgo Emory A. Walling
to the Supremo Court bench should fix
firmly In his mind that a cross In the
party column of the ballot does not mean
s, vote for Walling. Tho candidates for
the Supreme Court are to appear In a
column b,y themselves on tho ballot and
a mark must be mado after tho name of
the candidate favored, to have the vote
counted.
Vice President Marshall's predic
tion of a landslide for Wilson or a land
slide for Hughes Is moro enlightening
that It at first glance seems. It shows
that, the Democratic leaders are In the
fark as to the spcclfla results of their
various organizations In the States. The
registrations In all the doubtful States
heavily favor the Republicans. The Ad
ministration is counting on, ballot
splitting by Republican voters on an un
precedented scale.
That list of names of local firms
which have agreed to make their1 ship

1 tesiness enough commanded by Phlla
MphU business men to double the
fereign trade from the Delaware piers if
they will only patronize the chips which
;n be induced to sail from here. All
;, that is needed is a determination to stand
by the city. Thero must be spunk

us from doing our own business In our

"ITS YOUR VOTE WE WAIT;
NOT YOUR IDEAS"
TT IS posslblo to provo too much. Tho
two chlof Democrat la counter-offen-slvo
to tho Republican attack provo
much too much. It Is assorted:
That the Republican party was split In
two in 1912, and that it would return to
power with divided counsels.
That tho Republican party would enact
a monopoly tariff.
It Is true that the party was split In
two In 1912. Any almanac will toll you
so. It Is too big a fact to conceal and
nobody ever wanted to conceal It. But
In what conceivable way would It return
to power with divided counsels? In It pos
slblo that tho Progressiva pacifist farmers
of Kansas and Iowa aro returning to tho
old party to force It Into war with somo
Power, or that the Republican pa'clflst
manufacturers of Massachusetts and
Pennsylvania will try to mako tho re
turned Progressives help them mako war
on some other Power? Inconceivable.
But suppose It wcro true. If tho Demo
cratic party Is so much more pacifist than
any other body of mon, how easy would
It be for a pacifist wing of the otherwise
reunited Republicans to combine with
the Democrats In Congress to keep the
peace!
If In, that direction theso dangerously
"divided counsels" do not exist, tho alter
native Is that the "danger" lies In a dif
ference between Progressives and Re
publicans on the tariff. Vory well. What
could that difference be? Only that one
wing of, tho rounlted Republicans wanted
a high tariff and that tho other wing
wanted a much lower tariff., But Isn't
that tho situation which would exactly
suit tho Democrats?
How could a Republican majority pass
a monopoly tariff if half Its members did
not want a monopoly tariff?
That is where the Democrats provo too
mucin They are saying on tho one hand
that tho Progressive movemont In 1912
was a great reform wave, which they
believe Is now swelling tho Democratic
ranks. They are saying, on tho other
hand, that If this great reform wave
swells the Republican ranks there will
result a monopoly majority. What sort
of reformers can theso Progressives bo
that they can be mado to blow both hot
and cold, that they can turn angel by
voting "D" and devil by voting "R"?
What party could flirt with such spine
less fellows? , v
The plain truth of tho matter is that
the Democrats want the votes of tho
Progressives, but not their counsels. The
truth Is that tho Republicans want the
votes of the Progressives because they
also want their counsols. The unpal
atable truth for tho Democrats to swal
low Is that the Republican party does not
want a monopoly tariff, and that Hughes
Is precisely tho kind of man who will
combat monopoly Ideas In both the Dem
ocratic and Republican parties.
HOW A BOSS LOOKS TO HIMSELF
No small body of men was ever com
petent to take care of any other large
body of men. They do not know
enough. They get the spirit of privi
lege. They get the thing which so
easily goes to the head, the feeling of
guardianship and condescending be
nevolence. Mr, Wilson at Cleveland.
rpHE President was nlludlng to tho Ro-J-publican
party In those prognant words,
and he would have us bellevo that it Is
controlled by a small group of reaction
aries who nominated Mr. Hughes, Every
one willing to accept the evidence knows
that Mr. Hughes was not nominated by
the bosses, but by the demand of a ma
jority of the rank and file of the party.
Likewise, every one knows that Mr. Wil
son was nominated -for Governor of New
Jersey by the bosses, and that the in
fluence of Mr. Bryan, the biggest political
boss the country had at tho time, nom.
inated htm for the presidency. Since
then Mr. Wilson himself has become the
controlling and dictating power In tho
Democraoy. He has toward his asso
ciates anjl the country at large that
"feeling of guardianship and condescend
ing benevolence" which he so well de
scribes. The weakness of his party for
thirty-two .years has been. Its dependence
on one man. G rover Cleveland was its
candidate for, the tnreaidency three times,
and hit, Bryan, wjth tho party In his
vest packet, headed its national ticket
thriee and eonaentad to another candi
date cmee and nam! Wilaon, wlto has
uaeeaaad' him In seising the rein of
power. He holds them more tightly than
Bryan aver held thaw heeauae he has
patraaatn and favor at his dJepoeal, The

self an outcast from the party opunclls,

A FIGHTING TARIFF
To the Editor of the Evening Ledger:
Sir I 'extend to you my hearty con
gratulation. Your editorial, "The Way
That Leads to War," contains the first
ray of Intelligent understanding of the
tariff question that I have ever seen In your
editorial columns. "A fighting tariff," that
Is the point, and It Is tha kind of a tariff
that the Republican party has never given
the country nnd probably never will, un
less driven to do so by public opinion. If
you and other editorial writers would only
shed your partisan bigotry, study tho ques
tion tn an honest way and put the facts
before tho people, such a public opinion
might be formed that would force the poli
ticians and tariff-grafters to agree to the
enactment of a tariff law that would en
able tho United States to take her rightful
position of Industrial supremacy. But such
a stand can hardly be expected In a city
where the standard of intelligent has
steadily gone down during the last fifty
years. JAMES WILLIAMS.

DONNELLY SURVIVED THE SNUBS
To the Editor of the Evening Ledger:
Sir Four years ago at this particular
time Charles P. Donnelly was a? political
nonentity as far as the Democratic Club
was concerned. I was an Insider then and
have knowledge and a good momory of
what was going on. He was snubbed on
every occasion where a snub could be ad
ministered. He now Is deputized to meet
the President at Uroad Street Btatlon. and
on Wednesday night he escorted Vice Presl
dent Marshall to the stage at the Academy
meeting. This Is not written to criticize
Mr. Donnelly, but what Is happening now
should have happened four years ago, for
he was tho first Democrat lii an official
capacity as the head of the Democratlo
City Committee to urge the nomination of
Woodrow Wilson. At Baltimore his friends
Stood as a man for Wilson under circum
stances that must havo been humiliating
to him as well as them. Again I was an
Insider and my memory la fresh. I do,
however, feel nothing but contempt for the
reorganised wing of what Is left of the
Democratlo party In the City as well as the
State. They are "eating crow" and stultify
ing themselves as no other political faction
has done in this city, and they deserve Just
what they are going to get on November 7.

HUGHES BIG ENOUGH FOR JOB
To the Editor of the Evening Ledger:
Sir The amattng thing to me about the
.political situation Is the remark you fre
quently hear that "both are good men, and
there Is not much to choose."
You might as well say there IS not much
to choose between a learned diagnostician
and a skillful surgeon, when a major opera
tlon Is tq be performed,
This country Is up against the biggest
crisis since the Civil War. The best part
of our. national existence depends on what
we do In the next four years. We need a
President big enough to realize this sltua.
tlon and practical snough to, act on It now.
We need the blcgest American we can get.
We need pot only a hl.h-mlnded Idealist
but a high-minded, clear-sighted practl.
tloner. That is the essential difference be.
twoen tho two men. And it (s all the dlf.
ferenee In the world,
r,U,r,vt,Ke electing an orator-tn-ohlef,
Mr. Hughes would not have a look-in be
side Mr. Wilson. And Mr. Bryan would
talk them both to a standstill. But we
don't need a talker. We need a doer. And
that Is where Mr. Hughe etnide out su,
prema. The whole country today feete the
beiwnt of the good work which' be has been

Ho does what he sets out to do. The
various labor lawB enacted during his ad
ministration as Governor of New York
have actually secured for labor the benefits
Intended.
He Is a man who digs laboriously for the
real facts. He goes down to the solid bed
rock of principle nhd reason. And because
he dips deep ho builds high, and his work
stands.
We need such a master builder at the
head of our national Government during
the next four years.
After the great war, when the huge tidal
wavo of tnido competition from Europe
comes rolling upon our shores, we need a
well-built Industrial breakwater to pre
vent our being commercially swamped
Wo need honest, consistent, protective
legislation framed by those who believe
In It, and guided by n man like Mr. Hughes,
who has shown himself not only a master
of Intricate Industrial problems, but a fear
less, unflinching friend of all the people
What other national perils ore before us
no man can foretell, but unless we are pre
pared for the worst wo are not prepared at
all.
We need a President who will recognize
trouble before It Is on top of him, and grap
ple with it whllo It is small; not wait for
trouble, full-grown, to come after him and
drive him Into a belated panic.
Good Intentions without practical, com
mon sense won't save this country In the
next four years. We do not need a Presi
dent gifted with magnetic eloquence and
magnificent "hindsight." But we do need
one who dares to act as ho speaks, and
whose word we can take at a hundred per

TOO MUCH FREE LABOR
To the Editor of the Evening Ledger-
Sir I frequently get the Evenino
LKDaan as well aa the Record, as I am not
much of a partisan, although I voted the
Republican presidential ticket from 1864
to the present (barring Cleveland and Wil
son), as I like to look at both sides of the
picture. I simply wish to point out where
you ore mistaken, aa I do not think you
would make vindictive misstatements. You
say Wilson was catapulted Into oiflce which
Is true; but If you had gone back nfty-Blx
years and forty years you would have
found that Lincoln got In that way; also
,Hi!2e,.1(,or wh0" I voted), because eight
Republicans voted for him and seven voted
Tor TUden, who had a popular majority of
nearly SOO.OOO. in reference to Mr, Bryan
In my opinion, you are right ; and I voted
against him principally on the free sliver
question. When, however, you assert that
thp low tariff on Industries Is our principal
trouble you are away off. Neither a high nor
low tariff, with unrestricted Immigration
will ever prevent our periodical business
depressions. j t.

CHAMBERLAIN'S TARIFF
ATTITUDE
To the Editor of the Evening Ledger
Sir One cannot help noting the political
effort In your editorial of today which re
lates to Joseph Chamberlain. It la common
knowledge to the voter In England that
Joseph Chamberlain made his tariff fight
for one thing only, 1. e., to be Premier of
Lngland ; and one only has to remembeJ Mr
T. aibton Bowles's remark that he was like
the hlndermost wheel of a chariot, vet so
near, never to be first, If one cores to look
up records It will be found that tho greatest
prosperity Oreat Britain had ever enjoyed
was for the four years prior to the war, and
Joseph's efforts had not been used.
It might not be out of the way to oolnt

NATIONAL POINT OF VIEW
With La Follette refusing to support
Hughes and Governor Phillip attacking La
Follette and most of tho La Follette men
lined up for Wilson, the Badger State de
serves Its title more than ever, but Is less
a doubtful State every day. Brooklyn
Eagle.
In the closing days of a campaign men
resemble children In their readiness to pick
flaws and make faces. The disposition to
distort what a rival advocate may Bay on
the stump Is seldom resisted, and tho sav
ing grace In such a situation lies In tho
common sense of the people. Springfield
Republican,
Despite President Wilson's assertion that
the United States has not been at war with
Mexico, the drifting back of disabled men
from General Pershing's army Indicates
that the situation is fully as trying to tha
men at the front as though we were at
war. Indianapolis News.
W. J. Bryan says that for twenty years
he tried to get tho country to let the
Democratic party try Us hand at running
things. It may be remembered, too, that
after the country had very foolishly
granted tho request, William was the first
member of the party to throw up the Job
as too difficult to do. St. Joseph Gazette
