PICKS WILSON
Former Harvard President Dis
cusses Candidates---Quali-
fications, Platforms and
Their Records.

New York, Sept. 26.-With a
ealmness and Judicial balance
unusual in important political
discussions, ex-President Charles
W. Eliot of Harvard, in a long
letter in the New York Times
examines the merits of the three
leading presidential candidates,
analyses the platforms on which
they are running, deals with
their records and qualifications
and states the reasons w h j c b
have lead him to the conclusion
that Woodrow Wilson is the
best man to vote for in the forth
coming election"
The three candidates are to be
distinguished as follows, says
President Eliot:
President Taft is protection
ist and conservative on all con-
stitutional and legal matters,
Roosevelt is obscurely protection
list and radical on all constitu-
tional and judicial issues. Gov.
Wilson advocates the immediate
reduction in constitutional, po-
litical and industrial changes.
The voter, therefore, has a
complicated situation to study,
and naturally has difficulty in
making up his mind which candi-
date for the Presidency will best
represent his individual convic-.
tions.
The tariff in the present cam
paign is clearly defined. Presi-
dent Taft holds firmly to the
theory and practice of protec-
ton, and that portion of the
Republican party, which gives
him some measure of support, is
protectionist in practice. The
citizen who believe, as I do, that
the existing tariff prevents the
expansion of American commerce
and trade, protects manufacture
ing industries from the foreign
competition which Would be
wholesome for them, supports
artificial monopolies, raises the
price of many necessities of life
and keeps the country as a whole
exporting the richness of its soil,
rather than the products of it's
skilled labor, can hardly vote for
President Taft, however much
he may wish to do so, because of
respect for his character, resent
ment at the injustice with which
he has been treated, and liking
for his conservatism.
The Democratic party, judged
by its history and its recent
action, seems likely under its
leaders to accomplish a ju-
dicious and effective reduction in
tariff rates, and indeed, it is
pledged to do so, SO far as its
and the words of its
candidates can pledge it.
The Progressive patty, on the
hand, cannot be trusted to
deal wisely with the tariff, be-
cause its membership is mainly
drawn from the former Republi-
can party, which is responsible
for the existing tariff and for
IN ro11Ica II
The Democrats, like the Pro-
g~ressiyes, advocate s erious
changes in the political usages of
the people, but the Democratic
and its candidates seem
unquestionably more trustworthy
than the Progressive party and
its candidates"
Col. Roosevelt is described by
Dr.. Eliot as 'impulsive, self
confident, headstrong, impatient
of restraints and opposition, and
to the use of extravaganza
language which would not be
bad signs in an energetic youth.
but are alarming in, a mature
In the election of Gov. Wilson
DR.. Eliot sees the hope of expec-
tation of wiser dealing with re-
forms now under discussion.
