Yet it be conceded there are really
strong grounds {or the opinion that
President VWilson may carry Texas

thusiasts will soon be going out to bet
that the tide will sweep on until Mis-
sissippi and Alabama are also enrolled

understand, {
“Help me, ‘Cassius, or I sink!"

“adequate preparedness is not mili-
tarism. It is the essential assurance
of security. It is a necessary safe-
guard of peace.” Candidate Hughes
has left nothing to be said on this
subject. He has snuffed out counter
argument at the very outset.
“Are we Americans a nation of
pbunglers?” asks the New York Sun.
It would be very harsh to answer this |
in the affirmative—and, anyway, we |
elect a Democratic president only ev-|
ery once in a while.
