Washington, D. C.- Thirty-seven
"we., known editors of and writers
of American magazines and Sunday
papers met at the Hotel Baltimore
yesterday and gave out, through
■George Creel, the following letter:
"To the Honorable Chas. E. Hughes:
The professional writers who sign
this letter have a very deep interest
j in democracy. It is our hope, thru
this voluntary association, to assist
| in the promotion of honest, educa-
J tionai. dicussion in order that funda-
mental issues may not be decided in
prejudices and ignorance.
"Mr. Wiison's beliefs have been ex-
pressed in law and declared in poli-
cies. He has made an open record
by which he may be judged. Wise
choice is not possible unless you
yourseif make equally specific state-
ment of purpose and convictions.
"vVithout intent to offend, we feel
justified in charging that in rvo sin- j
gie public utterance have you filed '
a bona fide bill of particulars nor
have you offered a single construc-
tive suggestion.
Demand Details
"Generalities are without value.
Blanket criticism is worthless. What
we desire to know, are the exact de-
tails of your disagreement with Pres-
dent Wiison. What has he done that
1 you w«ild not lia.vc; dane, and wlia.1
has he failed to do that you would
have done or will do? Honesty and
patriotism demand that you put your
self upon record in such manner as
to permit people to judge President
WiLson. For example:
"Would you have filed instant pro-
test against the invasit n of Belgium
and backed up that protest with the
United States Navy?
"It is arrogant nonsense to talk
about action that would have pre-
vented the Lusitania tragedy. The
vague advertisement did not appear
until shortly before the hour of sail-
ing. The occurence was one of those
things that civilization has made the
world regard as incredible. The on-
ly honest question is this: Would you
have made the disaster the subject
of diplomatic negotiations or would
you have broken relations with Ger-
many at once?
"Would you have urged upon Con-
gress an embargo upon the shipment
of munitions to the Aliies?
"Would you urge universal com-
pulsory military service?
"You are frank in stating that
Huerta's morals were no concern to
America. Does this mean that you
would have recognized Huerta?
For or Acjainst Intervention?
"As matters stand today, would
you be in favor of intervening in
Mexico?
"Does your attack upon the Wil-
son Shipping Bill mean that you are
in favor of ship subsidies?
"You speak enthusiastically of the
fights of the worker. Does this im-
oiy that you indorse the Clayton
Anti-Trust Law and the Seaman's
Bill, or would you urge their repeal?
"What are your specific complaints
against the Federal Reserve Law?
"As Governor of New York, you
opposed the income tax amendment.
Does this antagonism persist? Do
you or do you not believe in paying
for preparedness out of a tax on in-
comes, inheritances and munitions?
"We agree with you that it is a
'critical period' by far too critical,
indeed, for candidates to talk in
terms of office seeking rather than
in the simple, earnest language of
definite Americanism."

New Wlail Connection
Postmaster Wheeler and L. Chase
went over the proposed mail route
between Campo and Garrett, Okla.,
Wednesday afternoon. This route if
accepted by tlie government will give
us an opening through to the rail-
road south, which will be a great
benefit to the people in this part of
the county, and will likewise give
the people at Garrett, Boise City and
Texhoma an outlet north. As it now
is it takes a letter from Garrett and
other points south from Five to seven
days to reach Campo, as mail has to
go in such a round, about way, and
lots of second class mail fails to ar-
rive at all.—Campo Enterprise.
Appreciation
To the Voters of Cimarron and Texas
Counties: —
I take this means of thanking you
and assuring yQU of my appreciation
of the splendid vote you gave me at
the primary, and if elected at the
general election, will do my best to
repay you by giving you good ser-
vice as your Representative.
Yours very truly,
M. W. PUGH.
There is still Dutch in our friend
Glatthart of Bertrand. He was in
Tuesday with a buggy load of cab-
bag, the only ones we have seen on
the market this year. John always
has them, and as usual remembered
the hungry looks of the editor so-
came by and left us a supply..
