The Courier presents this week articles from the New York World and from Thos. A. Edison on the presidency, urging readers to take time to read both pieces.
The New York World rails at Hughes, noting a rapid shift from 100 percent judge to 100 percent candidate. It cites his Chicago speech claiming to be “100 per cent a judge” then “100 per cent candidate,” accusing him of disingenuous campaigning and partisan pandering.
The piece argues that Hughes in 1916 lacks independent policies and moral courage. It accuses him of copying party lines from Old Guard Republicans and Wall Street, ridiculing Wilson while offering no constructive Mexican or international program. It contrasts him with the 1908 Hughes as a genuine reformer and flags his political dependence.
