The Pioneer today publishes the prediction on the outcome of the presidential election by George Har- vey of the North American Review. In 1904 George Harvey predicted Jthat Mr. Roosevelt would receive 314 electoral votes—he received 336. In 1908 he predicted that Mr. Taft would receive 338 votes in the elect- oral college—he received 321. In his editorial, “The Political Predestination of Woodrow Wilson,” which appeared in March, 1911, number \of the Review, over 18 months prior to election, Mr. Harvey | said: ““The finger of Predestination, guided by Logie, Circumstance, Con-| ditions and History, points unerringly | to Woodrow Wilson, Democrat, as the ! opponent of William H. Taft, Repub- lican, in 1912.” In October, 1912, Mr. Harvey: guessed wrong on only one state. | In the belief that George Harvey’s forecast will be a help- to a better understanding in the coming elec-| tion, the most. importance since that of Abraham Lincoln, the Pioneer takes pleasure in printing the pre- diction. Just think of it. The legislature was in session for only one day. The day of miracles has not passed. HE KEPT US OUT OF WAR. The following lines in the Mankato Free Press were written by a Man- kato high school girl, who seems to regard with some questioning, the popiilar Democratic shibboleth con- cerning Wilson, “He Kept Us Out of War:” ; ‘ ‘Woody had a little dream As funny as could be— He thought he kept us out of war, But dreaming can’t fool me. i For right down there in Mexico, Our boys are near the border. They've been there for months and months, Just ‘keeping law and order.’ ‘Why is it then we hear of raids On lives and property? If these things then don’t make up war, Pray tell what war may be ? We’ll soon be spending more— But still we hear this endless cry, ‘He kept us out of war!’” R KR KK KKK KKK KKK MY, CO](\)T{‘,EPTION x : F THE PRESIDENCY : hv— * Charles Evan Hughes x| KR KKK KKK KKK K KKK On the eve of election day the Am-! erican people are entitled to a sum- mary of the things I have stood for in this campaign, as thley are the! things I shall stand for as president. | No man can tell in advance what unexpected demands the next four years may present but one whose conception of the president’s duty rests upon fundamental principles can deseribe with entire sincerity how the problems of administration | would he approached and in what spirit they would be solved. { A man charged with the duty of reaching a desired goal knows that the road to it is found in following that path which sound judgment and clear vision opeii up step by step. I can show the road I expect to travel. . ) 1 propose first of all to start right. The president is primarily an execu- |~ tive. It is his supreme duty to at- tend to the business of the nation, STOMACH UPSET? Get at the Real Cause—Take Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets That's what thousands of stomach sufferers are doing now. Instead of taking tonics, or trying to patch up a poor digestion, they are attacking the real cause of the ailment—clogged liver and disordered bowels. Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets arouse the liver in_ a soothing, healing way. When the liver and bowels are per- forming their natural functions, away goes indigestion and stomach troubles. If you have a bad taste in your mouth, tongue coated, appetite poor, lazy, don’t-care feeling, no ambition or energy, troubled with undigested foods, you shguld take Olive Tablets, the sub- stitute for calomel. Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets are a purely vegetable compound mixed with olive oil. You will know them by their olive color. They do the work without griping, cramps or pain. Take one or two at bedtime for quick relief, so you can eat what you like, At 10c and 25c per box. All druggists. deal with the tremendous interna- tional and domestic problems which will confront us in the next four years. My conception of the presidency differs absclutely from that of Mr. Wilson. I look upon the president as the administrative head of the government. He looks upon the president as primarily the political leader and lawmaker of the nation. In the two departments of gov- ernment closely touching our for- cign relations—the department of state and the department of the navy —he chose men whom he knew to be wholly unequal to their duties. Ad- ministrative obligation was subordin- ated to political exigency. I can as- sure the country that any adminis- tration under my direction will stand upon sound administrative ground with the ablest cabinet the country can supply. Across the road we are to travel this next four years, even though we start right and move with prudence and courage, serious hazards are thrown like breaks in a roadway made by a torrential rain. These all rise out of the war torrent which has overwhelmed Europe. The first has to do with our foreign relations. It is the president’s duty to safe- guard the interests of our own nation and to preserve the friendship of ev- ery other nation. No man is more determined than I to maintain the peace which the United States, Spain, Sweden, Nor- way and all the American republics now enjoy. But I should seek to maintain that peace by a firm and courteous insistence on the rights of our citizens at home and abroad. An American in Mexico is subject to Mexican law, but he is an Amer- ican still and is entitled to the pro- tection of his own government in his lawful business. For. one I shall never consent to a policy which leaves Americans helpless against the lawlessness of any country in which they have a right to do business. There confronts labor in the next four years a condition mote serious than any that American laboring men have been called upon to face. ‘When this war began over & million American working men were seek- ing vainly for employment. When the war ends and the developed ener- gies of a new Europe are thrown into commercial production, our nation will face a competition as it never kuew. One of two things must happen— either millions of men will be seek- ing work in vain or else there must he thensht out in advance the prob- lems of commercial organization as France and England and Germany are seeking to think out the probem today. Every one of these nations is preparing to defend its own market by a protective tariff. The end of the war will end also the opportuni- ties for labor created by the war. The millions in the trenches today will be our industrial competitors tomor- row. If we are to save our laboring men from a catastrophe we must plan a tariff protection along sound, just and economic lines. To this endeavor I pledge myself and the men who are to be my colleagues. In this matter again I differ ab- solutely m the policy of the pres- ent administratidén. Democratic plat- forms have declared that the gov- ernment has no right to levy tariff du- ties except for income. That is the fundamental faith of the Democratic party. I pledge myself and those who stand with me to deal with the needs of laboring men the country over, whatever their trade or organiza- tion, upon the principle of giving the largest protection possible to every American working man and the larg- est participation possibie in the pros- perity of our industries with special favors to none. Finally it is to.be remembered that every European government is put- ting itself behind its industries; or- ganizing them, encouraging them and suggesting economies. When the commercial struggle, begins anew, the industries of every European country will go into the world mar- kets backed by the eiffective co-op- eration and intelligent oversight of their government. Our national policy requires that government maintain ‘a strict super- vision of business organization. This can be done effectively and yet leave the government free to encourage legitimate and wholesome business | enterprise. I stand for such super- vision and control of business, but L demand also that business, great and small (and especially the small, business) be treated fairly and just- ly. Only under such conditions can business pay living wages or com- pete with foreign manufacturers. In this respect again the present administration holds a policy entirely opposite. It has viewed business en- terprise with suspicion and has made the government a brake to stop the wheels of legitimate industrial prog- ress. It has treated the business men of this country as though they were suspicious characters. It has as- ural enemies. In four years it has put this country further on the road to class war than has becn accom- plished in a generation before. The the honesty of the American working man, they believe no less in the hon- esty of the American business man, and they believe that the common good is to. be found not in class war but in mutual justice and fair deal- ing, not as between capital and la- bor in the abstract but as between men and men. You know the road we have trav- eled this last four years. Mr. Bryan and Mr. Daniels are its monuments of executive officiency. Our murder- ed and forsaken citizens in Mexico reveal a conception of American cit- izenship plain enough to see but a new one for American patriotism to adopt; the monument of- class bitter- ness raised by this administration throws a sinister shadow across our political horizon; the unjust accusa- tion against business men has left a bitter taste in our national life. If you prefer this path it is plainly marked. And the end of it is class war. You‘ask what road I propose to tra- vel? These are the milestones which mark it—an executive responsible to the whole nation, a cabinet chosen from tht ablest Americans, a foreign policy that stands courteously but that protects the American in his lawful rights wherever his legiti- mate business may take him, a pre- paration for trade competition which shall protect all groups of American workmen, a government oversight of business which will fearlessly elimi- nate abuses, but will act on the as- sumption that the average business man is honest, and finally a domestic policy which looks to industrial peace, and to sound and permanent prosperity based upon the develop- ment of American trade and the building up of American industries. We Americans are in one boat. You cannot strike a blow at one group without injury to all. Com- mon justice and fair play will settle our difficulties if suspicion and bit- terness are let alone. These are the principles by which I propose to be guided. KKK KKEKEKKKKKKKK A glance at {he want cciumn may help you sell it. .
