In the Hampshire Review Of April TO- 1917, ne thus
EXPRESSED himself of the Woodrow wilson candacy LOT
the Democratic nomination for President:
"Woodrow Wilson became prominent politically because
Col George Harvey gave him front page advertising IN
Earper's Weekly and Boss Smith nominated him for Gov
ernor He promptly repaid them both for their service by
insulting Harvey and kicking Boss Smith into oblivion
Two years ago he wanted Bryan for whom ne had reused
to vote knocked into cooked hat Now he faWns upon
Bryan as he did upon Harvey before he thought it the better
thing to do to cuff him.
In the same article he calls Wilson the heorlst kid
poved cold and selfish almost uneard OF degree

for Governor against, the late William NJ O. Dawson nc
wrote Capt R. H Williamson chairman OF the Legislative
committee of the Order Of Railway Conductors who had
asked his endorsement of certain plans the brotherhood had
in view THE labor organizations are long on talk an@
short voting
Another opinion he expressed OF woodrow wilson, on
May s, 1872 reads as follows:
THAT the clustered college professor engrossed In hrs
books associatng with and teaching rlcn men sons IN
big college, likely to be or less Impractical and
without correct understanding of the needs wants and
ambitions of the great CT plain people Of this country
regardless OF how high his ideals may be that we now
assert as common proposition, that needs no arg
ment illustration and offer in support Of It, that the bril-
liant Governor has been at least two sides OF most great
questions before the country.
