Kaltlin, . t;, Aug. 7 If there is any reliance at all to be placed in our old friend "Consensus of Op inion," Candidate Hughes is a con siderably weaker aspirant for White House honors than he was before delivering his speech of acceptance including that wave of the hanj of Teddy play as he began his labori ous job of attempted destruction of without a semblance of presenting something better for, the ' Wilson policies," foreign and domestic. I have talked to' many men (of many TruTTus on public aTfa!r8 gener ally) ana the great majority seems to be thoroughly agreed on the char acter of the political jurist's perfor mance and its effect upon the conn try and the opinion is anything but complimentary or encouraging to Mr Hughes and his party. The impress ion left on many who expected some thing better (without any valid rea son for expecting it, as far as they can analyse their 'thoughts at this time) i8 that the speech smacks more strongly of a bany old scold, t ent on injuring his opponent re gardless, than that of a full man size constructive for presidential honors laying claim to ability as a constructive statesman.

Chairman Warren i cards th's as a too risky, not to sav dangerous, state of af fairs, especially In a pres'dent.iol el ection year, when the enemy is most active. One of the .first important, steps which Mr. Warren will impress up on the county 'chairmen, and which he will unu'teral ly insist up-Jii, is the work ot properly poTng the vot erg TiT each precinct, by precincts, hi evety county in North Carolina. "Get the prfint ts rkht ana the county will get right. With the cnun ty and precinct, organizations prop erly looked after and closely guard ed, the State can't go wrong," tie- c're(pthe-c-ha!rman '- ' "We, will begin at the bottom and build up," he auued, 'Instead of start Ing at the top. I think it much the more-effective method. Of course we have nominally a" safe majority of the voters in the Democratic par ty in North Carolina, But our people must realibe thaj the strength of the party vote must be cast at the polls to filsure continued good gov ernment and prevent the pnemy from capturing the State' and nati onal governments."
