That is the right course of prosperity and civility. It is a great mistake to depart from it.” Colonel Theodore Roosgevelt in an address at Wilkesbarre, Pa., Saturday, said: “I cham- pion Mr. Hughes against Mr. ‘Wilson, because in every such crisis Mr. Wilson, by his public acts, has shown that he will yield to fear, that he will not yield to justice; whereas the public acts of Mr. Hughes has proven him to be incapable of yielding in any . such a crisis to any threat, “whether made by politicians, corporations or labor lead- ers.” KRKKK KKK KK KKK CITY COUNCIL T0 DECIDE ON WARDS The city council will meet in reg- ular session at the city hall tonight.
