The American people are not running candidates for the highest office in the land solely on their likable attributes. This is not a beauty contest. Woodrow Wilson and Charles H.

It is not a debate to decide whether whiskers are more popular than a clean What is a contest for the Presi- one will; shaven face. going on dency in the gravest period this coun- try ever witnessed. Woodrow Wilson has put in three and a half years such as no other President, with the possi- ble exception of Lincoln, had to deal with. And his opponent for the office has done nothing but offer destruc- tive criticism. Hughes has not yet told the people of the country wherein he would have done differently from Wilson in any one of the big problems of the past, but he has branded Wil- son and his administration as “weak and vacillating.” Anybody can do that. The thing is to prove what other course could have been taken;— either with Germany in the Lusitania case, with England in the seizure of mails, or with Mexico. There were always alternatives, and in almost every instance the other course was Would Hughes have sent the country into war? Let him come out and answer this question and we shall see where he lands on November 7. But he will not answer. He will lie low, throwing out as many catch phrases as he can, in the hope that the American people will cast out one party so that another may go in and take charge of the ple counter. And that is the only reason why Republi- cans want Wilson out of the White House. They know he is the biggest and greatest President this country has seen in many, It would not be good politics to admit it. They merely want his scalp for the spoils that go with victory. That is all. war. many years. A PREDICTION AND A BET. John T. King, Republican national committeeman from this state, was down in New York the other day. ‘While there he called around to the national headquarters and paid his respects to Chairman Wilcox. It was an informal visit and during the course of his stay the political giant from Bridgeport naturally allowed the conversation to drift along well marked lines. Politics filled the air. Probably Mr. Wilcox was anxious to know how things in the old Nutmeg State were going. At any rate he asked Mr. King what he thought of the outcome here, and Mr. King told him. There was no chance in the world of the Democrats winning out in November. Whoever would place Connecticut in the doubtful column would prove a fit subject for the in- sane asylum. And then Mr. King struck the climax:—‘“We will have 30,000 pluality for Hughes and Fairbanks,” he said, and, “I will bet 6 to 1 now on a 20,000 Republican plurality.” But Mr. King as the well known song suggests, “was only, only foolins is not a gambling man; if he is, he would not make a bet like that for any considerable amount of money. Somebody might take him up. or, TIME FOR A NEW ISSUE. Issues are again shifting in thi: presidential campaign. In a few day: the latest development, the eight-hour law, may take its place in the back seat along with Mexico, and Section- alism, and National Honor and other forlorn hopes. It must be so, because Senator Weeks of Massachuset candidate for the presidenti tion at Chicago, admits that the Re- a I nomina- not afford to have filibusted in an at- tempt to kill the Adamson hill, he cause they would have bec ereby taking the responsibility of a strike.” There indeed is the shifting of re- sponsibility to a nice degree.

Under the rules of that assemblage the privilege Yet, they made no move in that direction. The candidate of their party is now con- President for this was theirs. demning the law, because, he claims, it was put through by the “rule of force” rather than by the ‘“rule of reason.” There should have been ‘“an investigation before legislation.” Well, why did not the Republicans order an investigation? They could have done so. Senator Weeks has given the answer. They were afraid to take “the responsibil- ity of a strike” But now that the danger is averted, and the period of responsibility gone, they can go about the country shouting their heads is off against Wilson because of his ac- tion,—the only safe way out of a bad and one that the rank of citizens approve.

The situation needs clear- | ng up and this will help We recall with much interest two debates which were held in this state | many vears ago.

Sperry, a man saturated | with the practical impressions of public life, These debates attracted a state-wide interest and plaved a large part in the elections which fol- lowed them. Another could be held this year that would attract even wider atten- tion than is provided by the state’s houndaries.
