WASHINGTON, July Declaring
that 1t would be unfair to regard the
Democratic party as the enemy Of Big
or little business, President Wilson
today gave out a statement In support
OF Paul Warburg, of New York, and
Thomas Jones, Of Chicago. his mont
nees for the federal reserve board.
The presidents statement in part fol-
lows:
ut would be particularly unfair to
the Democratic party az, +. Senate
in particular to regard It as the enemy
Of business, big or little. / am sure
that 1t does not regard a man as an
object Of suspicion merely because he
has been connected with great bust
ness enterprises. It knows that the
business OF the country has been
chiefly promoted in recent years By
enterprises organized on great scale
and that the vast majority Of the men
connected with what we have come to
call big business are honest, incorrupt
tble and patriotic. The country may
be certain that it is clear to members
of the Senate as it is I clear to all
thoughtful men that those who have
tried to make big business what 1t
ought to be are the men to be encour-
aged and honored whenever they re-
spond without reserve to the call Of
public service"
The president said he earnestly
hoped Mr.. Marburg would reconsider
his decision not to accept. the nomina-
ton and that he was urging him to do
so. He expressed confidence that DR..
Jones would be confirmed.

The Chicago delegation advocated
establishing a trade commission,
broader in scope in some respects
than that proposed in the Newlands
bill and lesser in scope in other re-

gram could be carried out without
running afoul the glare OF t.pitiless
publicity" which this administration
has SO fervently preached and, SO
studiously neglected to practice.
Now, all about the Hodges coup
Is known. 1t was known before 4

had been let out Of the bag no one
thought the machine would have the
nerve to try to carry. out its pro
gram. But 1t did have the temerity
to attempt 1T and Furthermore It put
It over.
It put DR.. Hodges in most en-
barrassing position. He had agreed
to the program all right, but on the
theory that the deed could be done
In the dark, and that nobody outside
the few who planned 1t and himself
would know about 1t. Since the CON
vention DR.. Hodges has been biting
on that nut in an effort to crack It
satisfactorily to himself. AS the
thing turned out, he has more at
stake In what he does than the bosses
who got him into his present unhap-
by predicament. -, a
Also. DR.. Hodges added .to-his I'M

nomination, whensasked Il herwould
accept, he said that before he could
give an answer he would have to find
out how the nomination was brought
about, who was responsible for It, etc.

termination" That, with all due re-

what was going on and who was be-

DR.. Hodges has been wavering ~
wavering badly. Knowing It. the
men who. gave him the nomination
have been for twelve days using
every resource at their command to
influence him to succumb to their
Establishments. In last desperate
effort they have brought the presi-
dent of the university away from his
scholastic duties to the city Of wash
fngton, to induce him to Stand pat',
and take the job Of pulling chestnuts
out of the fire for them even In the
face of the fact that their secret con.
