BRANDEIS FOR WILSON
Bostor's Noted Refor1ner and Former
 Republican Gives His Reasons.

Louis D. Brandeis, the noted Bos- ton attorney and reforTner, who has long been a Republican, is out for Wilson in the following statement:
 t'Progressives-irr of party affilia in my opinion, support Woodrow Wilson for the Presidency, should support him fully possesses in a nigh degree the quail ties of an effective Progressive lead CT.
 Governor Wilson is thoroughly democratic in spirit. He recognizes that all of the people are entitled to equal opportunities and appreciates pie is essential to the attainment Of American ideals. He understands the dangers incident to the control by a few of our industries and fin ance. He sees that true democracy and socia! justice are Hnattainable unless this power of the few be curb ed, and our democracy become indus trial asc well as political. He can meet the demands properly made up- present day executive, to be able to lead in constructive statesmanship for Wilson's character, intellectual power, and previous training fit him peculiarly to take an important part in progressive legislation He is courageous and. frank; able and firm and always open minded;-qua1ities indispensable to safe leadership.
 '-Progr essives should support Will son, not only in order to secure his election, but in order to enable him after election to carry out those Pro gressiye policies which he has so much at heart. His nomination ranks among the most encouraging events in American history.
 -'Tte Democratic party has purified itself and has been purged of it's as- sociations. so far as it is possible to accomplish this end by the action of a National convention. But the strug- gle of privilege for privilege is unen6- ing and omnipresent. That struggle is as subtle as it it determined The struggle will not close when Wilson is elected. We may be sure that every effort he may make as Presi- dent to carry out the Progressive pol icies will meet with stubborn resist enct from the possessors and apostles of privilege Without loyal support from the Progressives of the country wilson's war upon unjust privilege
 must be. futile The Progressive cause can succeed only if it has loyal support from the Progressives. It can fail only if the Progressives fail in their duty of giving to Wilson that full support.

 RIGHTS RESTORED

Morse, the convicted financier, who has set himself up in business in Wall street again, it was learned here, to- day, may appeal to Governor Dix for the restoration of part of his civil rights. He might also have some of his rights restored by application to the President but it will be two years before his application can be shonored.
 Morse's right as a voter, as a citizen of the state of New York and as Ht- igant before New York courts are all subject to state laws, it was explain ed. today, at the department of jus tice If he wishes to regain federal citizenship he must go through the same process as any foreigner who is naturalized. He has. the right to sue and be sued, the same any other non-citizen, but having been convict ed of felony he may not be called to testify before a grand jury.

AUTO TRUCK TEST
A GREAT SUCCESS
Fire Fighter Sped Around
the City Like a Racing
Automobile.

The new combination automobile,
chemical, ladder and hose truck was
given a tryout last evening City OFF,
GERS piled into the big red car, and the
driver sent by the company to install
the machine here made circuit of the
worst streets in the city to test the
car. The action of the monster fire
fighter delighted the city dads. The big
car with it's eighty horse power flew
up Gaar's hill, one of the steepest in
the city at a speed of fifteen miles an
hour. Up E street and down Main
street and the car maintained an aver
age speed of thirty-five and thirty
eight miles per hour, with plenty of
power in reserve The flat thick tires
were non-skiddable. At Fifth and Main
streets at high speed the driver at
tempted to skid the car, but without
any other result than throwing the oc-
cupants of the car into a heap at the
bottom of the car. The car is entirely
satsfa Glory as far as can be learned
at this time. 1t is kept at the No. en-
CINE house until a place for the car
at the city building can be arranged.
