DETROIT’'S IMPRESSIONS OF A MAN. Governor Hughes' visit to Detrolt opened the presidential campaign of 1916 and if we may forecast the events that are to follow by the omens of Monday we would prognosticate an intensely warm, vivid and humanly interesting period in the next few months. ) Setting aside the auspices of meteorological conditions In this pro- vision of the future—although they are approved by numerous profes- sional augurs and by a host of commonalty as well—we base this pro- phecy on the characteristics of the candidate whose too brief atay with us has been enjoyed by all with whom he came into contact. The misguided individuals who have been expecting Charles E. Hughes would prove to be a cold proposition and therefore easy to beat are in for a shock that will make them think they have been hit by an uninsulated trolley wire. There is nothing cold about Mr. Hughes, Detroit has learned. He is about as intensely human a piece of hu- manity as ever captured the hearts of a crowd, and the more people in the United States he meets between now and November the more votes will be cast for him. As a campaigner he is a revelation. He likes his fellow beings, and they like him because they see he likes them. And what his personality begins his remarkable powers of intellect and utterance finish. He drives his points home with tremendous force. What he says sticks. There are thousands of Americans today who can retell every step in the arguments he made eight years ago on the Bryan trust policy, yet in 1908 Mr. Hughes was not especially a prominent figure and there was no particular reason why his address more than others should have remained clearly in the memory except the gift of the man to send his own thoughts so deep into the brains of others. They are clear in his own mind first, undoubtedly. He knows precisely what he wants to say because he has reasoned it out before he spcaks it out. Probably that has something to do with the ease with which he conveys his meaning. But it is a very rare quality he possesses In his ability to master subjects so thoroughly as to make the most abstruse simple to himself and his hearers. It is a quality eminently desirable in a political candidate; it is infinitely more to be desired in the president of a great country like the United States. Detroit’s impression of Charles E. Hughes is all favorable. The thousands of people who have studied him at close range are convinced that if he is elected president next November he will be a great presi- dent, one of the greatest this nation has known, worthy to stand in history with George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, a custodian of the republic’s fate to whom that fate may confidently be intrusted. If that conviction is shared by the people of other states whom he is still tc meet, the outcome of his swing around the great American circle cannot fail to be propitious for him.—Detroit Free Press. BLOODY PROSPERITY. “No one disputes a temporary prosperity in our land foday. But it is sectional in its factory aspect, abnormal in its fevered rush, ficti- tious in Its essentials, and perverting in its tendency. Worse, it is ‘the gold sluiced from the river of blood, poured out by th: horrifying ‘sacrifice of millions of our fellow men. God forbid that we should boast a prosperity wrought in such waste of human lif:. We had rather rejoice in the prosperity of peace.”—United States Senator Warren G. Harding. 25252525252525252 52525252 SRaESR5RsA5Rsa! Want Something? Advertise for it in these columns Our sausages are good not only in taste and flavor but in quality of meat as well.

County Attorney Franz Jevne of Koochiching county ‘is brought into the investigation by a statement in the complaint that the matter was taken directly to the governor be- cause the petitioners believe that the attorney was interested with Auditor Slocum and would ‘““delay and defeat” a fair investigation. Despite fre- quent mention of other offcials, none is named in the charges. Knows Conditions, Attorney General Smith confirmed a report of a recent grand jury in- vestigation of the case resulted in no indictments being returned. Pre- paration of the governor’s orders by Mr. Smith, however, was regarded as significant because he is thoroughly familiar with the financial condition and conduct of Koochiching county affairs, having made personal inves- tigations with Andrew E. Fritz, state public examiner. Mr. Fritz is in Du- luth to examine St. Louis county and . | the Koochiching county report.
