Woodrow Wilson v.s. Charles E. Hughes election of 1916?

I need help I am researching on the election of 1916 and I can't really find anything on what Wilson and Hughes thought about World War 1. I know Wilson tried to maintain U.S. neutrality, was a huge supporter of individual and states rights over the federal government, was a progressive and supported segregation Is there any other important stuff Wilson believed in during the election of 1916 period. I have tried finding stuff about Charles E. Hughe's stand on the war and what he believed. Does anyone have any other info they may know that I don't. I have been researching for a while and can't find anything else especially for Hughes. Basically the question I have to answer says to analyze the election of 1916. Report on Wilson's and Hughes platforms. What effect did the election have on U.S. neutrality Unfortunately I only have the internet and no physical books, so I am kind of restricted in that sense and I'm not very good with using computers especially using the internet. BTW Happy saints Patrick's Day!!!!!

1. Hughes had been a Progressive but he was considered a moderate on the war issue. Wilson was trying to preserve our neutrality. Hughes and Wilson had basically the same policy regarding the war. They did not want the US to enter the war, but they believed the US could be forced into the war by conditions beyond our control. With Teddy Roosevelt campaigning for Hughes, the Republican candidate seemed to be the war candidate to the public. You can learn more about using the computer by practicing on the site below. Scroll to the American History section and then look for links to the Election of 1916, Presidential elections, or the 20th century.
