(PAID ADVERTISEMENT) “Ves!” or “No!” r. Hughes? The foremost publicists and liter- ary of the United States, August first last, addressed you in the following open letter: men on O THE HON. CHARLES E. HUGHES: The professional writers who sign this letter have ocracy. It is our hope, through this voluntary ociation, to assist in the promotion of honest, educa- ot be decided in prejudice and ignorance. Mr. Wilson's beliefs have been expressed in law d in declared policies. He has made an open record which he may be judged. Wise choice is not pos- unless you yourself make equally specific state- mt of purposes and convictions. Without intent to offend, we feel justified in charg-| that in no single public utterance have you filed a fide bill of particulars, nor have you offered a le constructive suggestion. Generalities are without value. Blanket criticism worthless. What we desire to know, what it is fair the electorate should know, are the exact details of disagreement with President Wilson. What has} ihe done that you would not have done, and what has @ failed to do that you would have done or propose to ? Honesty and patriotism demand that you put self upon record in such a manner as to permit sople to judge you as they are now able to judge) ident Wilson. For example: 1—Would you have filed instant protest against the invasion _ of Belgium and backed up that protest with the United) States Navy? 2—It is arrant nonsense to talk about action that would have prevented the Lusitania tragedy. The vague advertise- ment did not appear until shortly before the hour of _ sailing. The occurrence was one of those things that civilization has made the world regard as incredible. The only honest question in this: Would you have made the disaster the subject of diplomatic negotiations or would) you have broken relations with Germany at once? "| 3—Would you have urged upon Congress an embargo upon, : the shipment of munitions to the allies? “Would you urge universal compulsory military service? You are frank in stating that Huerta’s morals were of telo concern to America. Does this mean that you would ‘areave recognized Huerta? 8" , matters stand today, would you be in favor of inter- ing in Mexico? * i ; # ' Does your attack upon the Wilson shipping bill mean that you are in favor of ship subsidies? Does this imply that you endorse the Clayton Anti-Trust » Law and the Seaman's Bill? fi interest in parties but a very deep interest in| onal discussion in order that fundamental issues may} | a ° h th Pp b je a h 8—You speak enthusiastically of the rights of the worker.| | 0 repeal? 9—What are your specific complaints against the Federal Reserve Law? ~10—As Governor of New York. you Amendment. Does this antagonism persist? Do you or do you not believe in paying for preparedness out of a tax on incomes, inheritances and munitions? q | far too critical, indeed, for candidates to talk in terms P of office seeking rather than in the simple, earnest © language of definite Americanism. Respectfully, (Signed) Charles Johnaon fam’) Hor’ Harvey J. O° Higgins Albert Jay Deeds vs. Talk In the Fall of 1915 proposed amendments to the constitution of New York and New Jersey were submitted to the voters of those states. President Wilson made a special trip from Wash- ington to Princeton to register and another special trip to vote for VOTES FOR WOMEN. The records of the Board of Elections of New York County fail to disclose that you, Mr. Hughes, tither registered or voted on this occasion. Furthermore, the records show that since 1910 you have wholly neglected to vote—the highest duty of a sitizen. t woman’s suffrage opposed the Income Tax} gound MAYOR VETOES company from c should only pa tween the the new roadwa FRIENDS STAR—TUESDAY, AUG. 15, 1916. “WOMEN EASIEST | TO GET,” SAYS DR.
