Show JUDGE HUGHES is not pleasing pleas-ing the majority of the people of the United States by bis severe arraignment ar-raignment of the Democratic administration. ad-ministration. Acrimony, particularly particu-larly on the part of one's opponent, seldom wins favor. And Justice Hughes above all other people, should be temperate and reasonable reasona-ble in his criticisms, and above all else, should be truthful. Thus far his campaign speeches have savored too much of Theodore Roosevelt to win public favor, and we suspect sus-pect that he has been guided more by the suggestions of that individual individ-ual than he has by his own good sense as a jurist, in his utterances. This, no doubt, with the idea of pleasing the Progressive element of the party and solidifying the two factions; but in so doing he is offending of-fending many sensative and honest people both in the Republican and Democratic parties, and is stirring up needlessly animosity and opposition oppo-sition to his candidacy. Our advice ad-vice to him is to desist and take a different tack with bis campaign orator. It is possible for him to voice his disapproval of democratic theories of government without becoming be-coming personal and offensive. |
