My, How Barnes and the
Rest of the Old Guard Lo\ e
Charles E. Hughes--Not!
It’s hard to tell, of course, what one
would do if his party nominated him for
the presidency of the United States, but
we have been thinking the matter over
and we have come to the conclusion that
If we were in Charles E. Hughes’ place,
we would rather NOT have than HAVE
some of the “support" that is being
pledged him by the Old Guard.
For instance, William Barnes now de
clares that he is for Hughes.
Barnes has been holding off, but he an
nounces in his Albany newspaper that
Btaghes’ Detroit speech was just right.
Take Barnes’ line of reasoning and you
have the reasoning of the Chicago con
vention in reluctantly accepting Hughes
for the party standard bearer.
Barnes admits he never had much use
for Hughes because Hughes is a reform
er, or was as governor of Barnes' state,
and we are not convinced now. as we learn
that he has pledged Hughes his “support"
he is going to be regular because of
anything like “undiluted Americanism.”
We ARE convinced he is going to be
regular because being regular is quite the
thing tbi« year in the ranks of the G.
O.P.
It wasn't the fact that the Old Guard
loved Hughes more that accounted for
their swallowing him; it was the fact
that they loved both Theodore Roosevelt
afcd Woodrow Wilson less, and the idea
«# those jobs going to Democrats for an
other four years was more than they
could endure.
The nicest thing remarked about
Hughes as a candidate and as his party s
nominee was his independence of the or
ganization and its bosses, which, it has to
be readily admitted, is a lot said in favor
of anybody running for office, big or
little.
Then, however, just as the people were
beginning to find out this thing so much
in Hughes’ favor, the Old Guard began
dropping into line and the dropping ha*
been so general that we doubt whether
the candidate himself is any too well
pleased.
There are a lot of things about Hughe?
that Barnes docs not like, but the big
Idea Is, he is a Republican and the pres
idency simply MUST come back to the
Republican party, even if the candidate
happens to be a man who is acceptable to
llieodore Roosevelt, whom Barr.es made
defendant in a libel suit.
Hughes has made the issue “undiluted
Americanism,” and that is his theme at
the present time, an he is going over
the country.
Nobody questions his personal sin
cerity.
Nobody believes, on the other hand,
that it is an “undiluted Americanism"
that has drawn to him these member*
of the Old Guard.
They don’t care a tinker’s cuss, as a
matter of fact, about anything in this
campaign but PARTY SOLIDARITY and
the presidency, and they aren’t going to
worry much about what kind of Ameri
canism comes with it.
None of the Old Guard likes Hughes.
Every one of them is in favor, however,
of a Republican president.
It’s Just the hunger that has mme
with four lean years.
Hughes looks good, merely, to Bo*s
Barnes' inner man.

Large crowds are turning out to «oe
Mid hear Charles E. Hughes. One of our
Close Republican friends remarks: “Yes,
Jfcafs the worst part of it.”
A Good Start Made In
Selecting Farm Ixian Board
In another column today »<* print an artu-ie
explaining In full the new rural credits law
which has lust gone Into effect
The board which wlil govern thie now Amerl

The federal farm loan beard has a mighty

greatest agricultural people In the world.

topics of current interest whJdh appear several
times a week In this newspaper. Hia writing*
mate known his keen understanding nf the

this choice universally applauded.
One of the best possible selections is that of
Cap* W. S. A Smith of lows..

ers i.‘. the midaest. as he is probabl) without a
super.or in agricultural skill
So remarkable is his grasp of the principles
of farming especially along nnar.cia: lines, that
he was made expert in farm practice of the de
partment of agriculture .n the first year of Wil
son's administration.
For two years or more in that capacity he
has beer, studying farm problem* ar.d solving
them in all pari# of the country, from the rua
dowr. estate# of Virginia to the blueberry farms
of New England.
He is perhaps the only man who ever took a
premium in the international fat stock show
with carload lots of cattle which he took with
out a special fitting for the show just as th*-y !
stood in h:s feed yard*.

from Another Point ot View
By C. T. S.
The newspaper men with Hughes ex
press doubt that he has yet converted
anybody. They seem to lose sight of the
fact that first of ail Hughes has to con
vert himself.
