Dilly-dallying and postponements of large questions in International relations have generally shown their abandonment. Prevarications, Procrastinations and Vacillations with Mexico and other nations, and three years of humiliations is as much as America ought to stand. With Congress a plaything and the Legislative and Executive branches of the Government wedded; With the turning of the great Office of the President over to Election Purposes by inducing Con- gress to assist to corral the labor vote; With the end of the war and the closing down df the war munitions factories, and the throwing out of employment of hundreds of thousands of men and women, panics, or untold sufferings will be experienced, while the present Democratic tariff continues. ' WAR YEARS AND THE SIMPLE- ~ MINDED If any man is so simple-minded as to believe that world-war years are normal business years, he is, indeed, following the simple life and not over-exercising his pow- ers of reason and judgment, For any political party Or government executive to claim credit for the profits accruing to American industry, finance or. agriculture, since the old-world war cataclysm began to destroy human lives, daily, by thousands, and also to destroy accumulated wealth, daily, by scores of millions of dollars, would stamp it, or him, as an audacious pretender, a Barnum & Bailey clown, or a 520 per cent. get-rich-quick cheat, meriting treatment given cattle in Texas—lassoing, throwing, tying and branding, with the red-hot iron, burning in the contempt and scorn of all wise Americans, in four letters F-O-O-L. Records made in war years will not serve as a safe foundation upon which to build a permanent economic policy. Only a tariff wall large enough to equalize the difference between wages of American workmen and Euro- pean and Asiatic serve-for-a-few-pennies-a-day workmen, will enable us to face the future with perfect confidence in continuous prosperity. A vote for Hughes is a vote for an adequate protective tariff, the most vital weapon for practical every-day-in-the-century national defence. e 5 = The Republican party makes appeal to public confidence as the most important political agency for consarvation and for progress, By virtue of its achievements, its leadership and its aims, etability, and of the prosperity which depends upon stability, and as an unrivaled power for the correction of abuses. It standa in striking contrast %o the record of vacillation and ineptitude presented by the chief opposing party. That opposing party memorializes the fallacies and unsafe poli- ctes e are asked to forget, and it points the way to business uncertainty and to the impairment of the confidence which is the security of industry / “Proper Protection Provides PERMANENT As Patriotic Americans: it stands forth ks an efficient instrument for strong and capable administration, a3 a safeguard of Think ~before you vote, and you will VOTE FOR Charles Evans Hughes An American, well-seasoned in successful public service and inexperienced in Prevarications, Procrastinations or Vacilla- tions—and an executive who will not endeavor to usurp or: control the functions of the two other co-ordinate branches of the Federal Government—the legislative and. judicial,. which share, with the Executive, the orderly conduct of 2 free government. : Prosperity” “United We Stand, Divided -We Fall”
