U.S.. Kept Out of Great War
Only by Wilson'S Counsels,
Is Assertion of J. NJ. Price

The Republican party today represents
all of the old stand pat interests that
brought the Progressives In their party
in 1912. They are playing for the biggest
stake in their history. In 1872 in Chicago.
when the committee on credentials was
throwing out anti-Taft delegates, one of
its influential members was asked IL he
expected to elect Mr.. Taft The answer
was mo, but we are going to control
the Republican party, and in four years
from now We win be in the saddle"
The stand pat'' plans have worked out
exactly as laid down in 1872. They abso-
lutely controlled the the Chicago con-
yention in 1916. They control the party
today and II successful will control the
policies of the party for the next four
years. We sometimes have short MEM
orfes politically. 30 many things occur
In our daily life to obstruct our vision
Of the actual state Of things. The whole
makeup Of the Republican party was
condemned four years ago. The makeup
today is the same and II should be con-
demned for the same reasons.
President Wilson stands between them
and the control Of the enormous resources
Of Mexico; between them and the revi-
sion Of our tariff laws to accommodate
big business; between them and the
control Of credits as represented by
wall Street: between them and the
control Of the labor of the working men.
1t is a momentous choice that the Amer
ican people are to make in O very few
days, and II they have given careful con-
sideration to the Issues involved I am
sure they will not vote for the return
to power Of all the forces of reaction.

WILSON'S DIPLOMACY
GIVEN WARM PRAISE
By JOHN J. BUSH,
resident National Auto Top Company.

PRESIDENT NATIONAL Auto Iop company.
I favor the reelection of Woodrow VIII
son for q multitude of reasons. believe
in the sterling integrity and honest pur-
poses Of the man; in his thorough Ameri-
canism and in his conscientious adherence
to duty and principles with no thought OF
their political effect upon his political fu-
ture. ...... ...--
He has been criticised by political OPP
ponents for his seemingly pacific attitude
In relation to momentous questions which
have arisen concerning our relations with
turbulent Mexico and belligerent Euro
pean nations. But results have demon
strated his wisdom and justified his
course, while no act of his has brought
dfscredit to this nation. Yet, by his tact
and diplomacy he has solved vital ques-
tons which otherwise have been settled
only by force. We can thank Heaven We
have had man like Woodrow Wilson in
the White House during the past two
years of world conflict

CONSTRUCTIVE FEATURES
MAKE APPEAL TO SCHIFF
By JACOB sCHIFF.

President Wilson's administration has
been almost throughout q constructive
one. The enactment of q new and just
tariff law based mainly upon revenue re-
onirements, and the establishing Of the
Federal Reserve Bank systems are
momentous achievements, from the bene-
fits Of which the country should profit
after the European war is over even
more than at present But what I con-
slider President Wilson's greatest accom-
plishment is that Re has In a great
measure succeeded in bringing about q
rapprochement between the producing
and the consuming classes, 30 that the
great and hurtful antagonism which be-
fore the present administration came in
to power has made itself felt almost IN
every substantial interest has now al
most ceased.
The Presidents foreign policy has been
prudent and safe, has vouchsafed the
country's dignity and has prevented the
great harm which might have come 10
It through a more brilliant policy.

HERMAN w. BLOCK,
Firm Of a. Stein 4 Co., New Yors Cit,

Firm OF y. stem Co., New 1ork City.
Mr.. Wilson has been very earnest and
sincere In practically every measure he
has advocated and to his forcefulness and
efforts are due, In large part. the con-
structive LEGISLATION passed by Congress.
Looking back 1t will be found that very
few administration have q record equal
to the present one in the volume Of con-
structive measures enacted. This legis-
lation is his supreme achievement
As far as the Presidents Mexican pol
ICY Is concerned. 1t is possible that he
made mistakes, but in the crisis no man
who might have been President could
have avoided making mistakes. Despite
criticisms Of his foreign policy. the Pres
fdent accomplished what everybody
wanted-he kept us from war. He IL
not a superman and don't think any
other human being wonld have been. In
fact. 1t Is doubtful II any other man
would have succeeded In keeping us free
from complications. The President ac-
ccnplished great deal under extremely
trying circumstances.

II have two good reasons for supporting
Wilson for the Presidency:
Il am for Wilson because trust him.
He u the steadiest, safest, clearest-
thinking leader In public life today. In
the worid-crisis he has not been stam-

neither by Roosevelt. nor by Bryan. He
has acted with that imperturbability and
wisdom IN the midst Of unparalleled

Laid in Sharptown

HOUSES GO UP
FOR THE WORKERS

CEORGETOwN, Del. Oct. 27.-After
having shortly changed from a thriv-
ing town to a sleepy hamlet. Sharp
town on the Nanticoke river has
awakened from its slumbers and. with
the revival OF the American shipbuild-
ing industry. is again ready to take
its place among the important towns
on the Eastern Shore. Before the
Civil War, Sharptown was a thriving
town with large shipyards, and built
some of the largest coasters that went
up and down the Atlantic carrying
cargoes from the Indies to the big
eastern cities
Not only were coasters built. but
some Of the sailing vessels that voy-
aged the world for rich cargoes were
built in Sharptown With the advent
Of steam and with the decline Of
American ship building the town
slowly went 10 sleep. and for the past
twenty years has had only few fish
ermen and oystermen living there and
an agricultural community around H.
Last week the keel Of one Of the
largest vessels ever built on the Nan
ticoke river was laid at Sharptown
being 100 feet long. The boat will
have a beam of thirty-seven feet aud
a depth Of hold OF thirteen and a
half feet. She will have four masts
and will carry about L 100 tons
The number Of ship carpenters has
been Increased. and the whole town is
busy. The vessel is being built for
one Of the largest shipping companies
OF Baltimore, and Is only one OF sew
eral which have been contracted for
In addition to the new work. several
barges are being built while two big
vessels and one barge are laid up for
general repairs.
Everywhere houses are being built

town presents the appearance Of
western boom town. Sharptown
carpenters in the old days were rated
as the best. and its shipbuilders we're
known throughout the coast as put
ting out an honest ship Besides the
shipbuilding, the town has been given
a cement road. so that Il is on the
main line OF the big Eastern Shore
touring highway.
While the shipbuilding industry has
stood still, the farmers have been
improving the land, and as a result
Sharptown Is becoming the center Of
a thriving community. Evidently bet
ter days are in prospect for the town
on the Nanticoke.

the Bartlett school and both he and MT. Humphrey declared that the Bur- ritt school should be discontinued Superintendent Holmes defended the school expenses and asked the mayor if he would expect the city to have good schools at less expense than it takes to maintain them in other places. He maintained that the per capita cost here is less than Hart ford and Meriden and about the sanc as Waterbury.
 When it came to voting on the reso- lutiOn it was discovered that the ac- tual use of the money was not spe- cifed and the board insisted that this be done. Judge Gaffney maintained that the council would specify the ac- tion in resolutions drawn by the cor poration counsel. Then it developed that the charter does not permit school bonds to be issued for repair purposes. This snag was finally passed by Judge Gaffney, who suggested that the $15,- 900 be devoted to paying the cost of the Osgood Hill school addition and that the money for the Prevocational school job be taken from the building fund, which was to be used for the Osgood Hill school job. This was done and then just before the meet ing adjourned the mayor took ;he school board to task for starting the Osgood Hill job without consulting the board of finance and taxation. Judge Gaffney held that the board had money enough in the building fund to do the work without seeking the aid of the finance board. Author ity to sell the houses on the Farrell site at the best price obtainable was -g1 anted and it was also voted to with draw the citys funds in the Peoples Saving bank and transfer them else where.
