...tariff issue Mr. Paine sees as a question of continuing the progressive legislation of President Wilson or of returning to the "old Mark Hanna type of protection." Mr. Hughes, however, is just as fairly and honestly opposed to "the artificial protection given to special interests" as the framers of the Underwood tariff, but he certainly does not, as the Democrats do, advocate a return to the condition of economic depression that existed before the war, the return that existed before the war, the return that will come when Europe will be able to provide for herself and will flood...

For, after all, the tariff, the merchant marine and civil service reform, however long and heatedly they may be discussed are not the dominant issues of this campaign. The pivot on which the election really turns is the maintenance of the national spirit, of that love of liberty which does not seek to become license that...
