My Dear Mr.. Breckenridge:
I can quite understand why you deem
1t incumbent upon you in loyalty to your
chief to follow his example In rendering
your resignation. and sice have accept
ed his resigation I am sure It will be your
desire that I accept yours also. I do
so with genuine regret, because you have
in every way fulfilled the highest expec-
tations and rendered the country the
most conscientious and efficient service.
"Cordinally and sincerely yours.

Asst Secretary OF War"

In the meantime he had forwarded
his letter of resignation to the White
House. He left no word either at the

days to wind up his affairs here.
Causes Great Concern.
What the political effects will be
OF the Garrison resignation is a mat
ter of ill-concealed concern in admin
istration circles. Although out of SYM
pathy with the President on many of
the ia,ter's policies. he was generally
regarded as the strongest man in the
Ca abinet.
Although he did not succeed in his
efforts to persuade the President to
adopt a different course in handling
the Mexican question, 1t was the in
huence OF Mr.. Garrison. backed by that
of Secretary of the Interior Lane,
which is understood to have gone
further than anything else in persuad-
ing the President to take a Arm stand
towards Germany in the LusitanIa
controversy.

Bryan's doctrines, Secretary Garrison
opposed him, 1t Is stated, throughout
the earlier stages OF the controversy,
and so far impressed his own views
on the President that Mr.. Bryan found
himself forced to resign as Secretary
OF State.
Breckfnridse Loyal supporter.
In the resignation OF Assistant Sec
retary Brckinridge, President Wilson
has lost one of his strongest and most
loyal supporters. The friendship be-
tween the President and Mr. Breckin-
ridge dated back to the time when the
latter, as an undergraduate student at
Princeton University stood by Mr.. will
son. then president of the university,
throughout the hght in the faculty over
Wilson's proposal to abolish the upper
class clubs.
Though himself a members OF one of
these clubs. the young Kentuckian or
ganized a section Of the undergraduate
body behind the head OF the institu-
tion. And when Mr.. Wilson entered
the field as a candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for President in
1912, Mr.. Breckenridge was one OF his
most active supporters.
II was in recognition of these sery-
ices that the President appointed MIR.

Canada have shown that the most er- fective way to stop these enormous losses to the farmers is to estaonsn enough government owned and opera ted ships to give the public some measure of protection from the squeezing methods of private snip combines.
 In the face of these facts the Ke- publican party and the Repupllcan candidate treat the grange poslnoh with indifference. They have not even the courtesy to explain to the farmer why they oppose his stand. Perhaps however, their failure to explain IS pe- cause they can not and their stand in opposition to the Grange demands has been dictated by the ship owners who are contributing so lavishly to the Republican campaign fund.
 Is it wise for farmers to risk their chance of continued prosperity to a party that treats them so shabbily? Should they not rather show by their votes on election day that they will

.95% OF MOOSE VOTERS WILL BE
 WITH PRESIDENT
Hughes Candidacy Fails to Appeal to the Pro
 gressives.

1 New York, Oct. 17.-President Wil.
 sons administration of achievement is drawing to his standard Repubbli-
 cans of prominence in all parts of the country. Among the most distinguish
 ed of these is Stephen H. Basher, pres ent Progressive candidate for gover- nor in Iowa.
 '1 am supporting President Wilson 1 for reelection MT. Basher stated in a recent speech, land I find that 95 per cent. of Iowa Progressives occupy the same position. MT. Hughes is not ! a Progressive, either with capital
 or small 'p'. His tendencies are all
 reactionary. He is socially and in- tellectually an aristocrat His first
 consideration is property, his second people. Throughout his life, he has
 been terribly afraid that something
 he might do would hurt property, but
 never at all afraid that he might in- jure humanity.
 'The insurance investigation, in which he made his reputation as a lawyer, was a fight between titanic financial interests, for the control of the vast resources of these companies. To get control, they had to show cor ruption, and, having shown corrup- ton they drove Hyde to Europe, Me Call and McCurdy to their graves, and took the property they left. Iowa and other states adopted a tworcent fare law, of the kind that Hughes vetoed as, Governor because he said it would be ccnfiscatory. He vetoed the fve-cent car fare bill at Coney Island--the peoples play ground-for the same reason. To- day he derides the eight-hour law.
 "I favor MT. Wilson because he is the antithesis of MT. Hughes-be- cause of his great work for human ity, because he has kept his people out of war, because. under him, the coun- try has enjoyed an unprecedented era of prosperity. Why change ?''
 In Philadelphia, James I:ozens, chairman of the Executive Commit tee of the Washington Party, has come out strongly for MT. Wilson. In a letter to Jacob B. Hoffman. rela- tive to the 1atter's withdrawal as a Republican candidate for election to the Assembly, because of his desire to support the President, Mr. Cozens wrote:
 Your action was the only logical step to be taken by anyone who is at heart a progressive. I have been lifelong Republican, but this time I have made up my mind to join with the army of loyal American citizens who will support our great Presi- dent.i
 From West Virginia comes the news that D. R. Hughes, of St. AL bans, Progressive candidate for Con- gross in 1914, is touring the States for MT. Wilson, and that M. F.
