They forget that it jls Mr. Wilson and not Mr. Hughes iwho is on trial. They forget that four years ago Mr. Wilson criticised Mr. Taft and Mr. Roasevelt through- out the campaign and that Mr. Taft -land Mr. Roosevelt defended thelr re- {spective. records, instead of crylng "Wh“ would you have done?" They, l‘m these things or they refuse to .confess them, They are trying to run .away from the record of the Adminis- itration and induce the people to fol- low.them down some by-path of rhe- ' ftorical bypothests, all in the etfort ta change the subject. !+ “By thelr fruits ye shall know, |them.” When Mr. Hughes was Gove emor of New York he did not pay, [political debts. by flling, the publie offices with unfit men.- He did not -‘cnmplon certain principles during his (campaign and repudiate them after entered office. As Governor, he ‘.r:l.d not resort to brave and beautiful 'words as a substitute for firm and con- sistent deeds. He was careful in his use of words but he backed his words jwith deeds. He did not promise what he could not perform. He did not plaster the people with compliments «{they did not deserve. He was not & thetoriclan, he was not a flatterer, he . iwas not “too proud to fight” for labor lor for capita}, for the strong or the y'&lk, when the right was on their Idde. Mr. Wilson’s spokesmen seek to dis . vert attention from the attacks Mr. ‘Hughes is making upon the record of the Administratien by asking himg ¥ {“What .would you do?” they are un- icnnsclonsly helping Mr. Hughes. They jare recalling to the memory of the . [people the record he made throughout lhl! two terms as Governor of New York. It was then that he first said I‘publlc office shall not be a private isnap under my administration,” and }nnde performance square with prome ise. There is this about Mr. Hughes ithnt makes him so different from Mr, “Hgghes means what he jsays.” So it is that the campalgn is ireally a contest of character between two men, with sincerity as the differy .cnulfinl and deciding factor.

Amount paid for series $20.00). I ama candidate for Representa- tive from the 62nd district, and re- spectfully solicit your support at the election, Nov. 7, 1916. I might make numerous promises as to what I will do if elected, but quantity promises are made largely. to gain votes, and are soon forgotten after election. Therefore, the prom- ises I have to make are few in num- ber, but these few will be religiously kept, if I am elected. 1 do promise, if elected, that I shall perform the duties of Representative to the State Legislature purely in the interest of the people, irrespective of party consideration or political ex- pediency. Iam opposed to the further issuing of ditch bonds in this district until the present judicial ditch law is ""\ln asion of American rights by || amended so that ditches will be con- vasion varls structed only where the quality of the soil, prospective settlement and gen- eral conditions warrant same. I believe the operation of the pres- ent judicial ditch law to be excessive- ly costly and that the homes and property of our citizens, which are pledged for the payment of the in- terest and principal of said bonds, have been jeopardized by the enor- mous issue of bonds, and the high rate of interest paid therefore. I will do all I can to secure legis- lation to relieve the county from any possible future payment of said ditch loans. My polities are ‘Republican, but under the law I am compelled to make the race as a Non-partisan. I prom- ise also, that every citizen, regard- less of his political belief will re- celve the same degree of courtesy and attention, and that special privil- eges will be extended to none.
