Hughes: The professional writers who sign this letter have small inter- est in parties, but very deep inter est in democracy. 1t is our hope through this voluntary association, ito assist in the promotion of honest, educational discussion in order that fundamental issues may not be de, cided in prejudice and ignorance.
 "Mr Wilson's beliefs have been ex- pressed in law and in declared poli- cies. He has made an open record by which he may be judged. Wise choice is not possible unless you yourself make equally specific state ment of purposes and convictions.
 Without intent to offend, we feel justified in charging that in no sin gle public utterance have you filed a bona fide bill of particulars nor have you offered a single constructive sug. gestion.
 Demand Details
 Personalities are without value Blanket criticism is worthless. What we desire to know, what is fai1 that the electorate should know, are the exact details of your disagreement with President Wilson. What has he done that you would have not done and what has he failed to do that you would have done or will do? Hon esty and patriotism demand that you put yourself upon record in such manner as to permit people to judge you as they are now able to judge President Wilson. For example:-
 Would you have filed instant pro test against the invasion of Belgium and backed up that protest with tho United States navy?
 Tt is arrant nonsense to talk abou action that would have prevented tho Lusitania tragedy. The vague ad vertisement did not appear unti shortly before the hour of sail ing. The occurrence was one of those things that civilization has made tht world regard as incredible. The only honest question to this: Would yo, have made the disaster the subjec of diplomatic negotiations or would you have broken relations with Ger many at once?
 Would you have urged upon con gress an embargo upon the shipment of munitions to the allies?
 Would you urge universal com pulsory military service?
 You are frank in stating that Hu ertas morals were of no concern tC l America. Does this mean that vol would have recognized Huerta?
 For or Against Intervention?
 AS matters stand today would vol be in favor of intervening in Mexi O.

N. l.. FAN WHO FELL WITH THE
DODGERS.

John McGraw Picked by Leonard to
Win Next Year.
Humpty-D umpty sat on a wall:
Tradition declares Humpty-D umpty
got an awful fall.
The Brooklyn Dodgers didn't try to
sit on a wall. They tried to crush the
Red Sox. Most anybody now can tell
you just how badly shattered they
rel when hurled rudely back by
these same Red Sox. And the Dod-
gers were not the only crushed beings.
One of the chief mourners around
these parts is Eddie Leonard, most
rabid Of National League fans.
Eddie, who is at the Orpheum this
week, has been a National Lacquer
for years. We ran in on him, the
other day and between jabs with

he is there in uniform as the picture,
taken with John McGraw last spring,
shows. This is the way he gets i n
shape for the siege Of winter work on
the stage.
Eddie is not the kind with cherish
ed ambitions to be a ball player. He
was. Back in 1906, when the Virgin
Ia League was first organized, he was
a 'busher." Those are his words.
Jake wells then was president of the
league and had the Richmond club.
Eddie was with Norfolk and, like ev-
erybody who starts baseball, tried
pitching. Eddie that summer did
turns in a theatre and SO we'll did the
soft shoe steps and the rolling voice
go over that he finally cut baseball
for the boards.
He didn't say much about his av-
erages, but we dug them from a sea
of musty files. Eddie was no Ty
Cobb. Far from it. His pitching wal
his forte, for at the bat he amassed
the grand total of .O24 in 80 games.
He went ffty-fifty in games won and
lost, getting an even dozen each.
"Say, do you know" he confded,
just as we were about to leave, "the
best National League team didn't get
in the series this year. Keep your
eye on McGraw and the Giants in

Observation-Disclosures Ander-
son of the State federation of labor
urges Colorado trade unoniSts to pre-
pare for the coming session of the State
legislature and demand the repeal of the
industrial commission law, which denies
workers in any industry the right to
strike before the commission investigates
the dispute. This legislation is modelled
after the Canadian industrial disputes
act which applies to public utilities. The
repeal of this statute was declared to be
of paramount interest to the workers of
Colorado by the last convention of the
State federation Of labor
Other legislation that will be urged
includes the enactment of an anti-in-
junction law; scmi-monthly pay day
to apply to employees of railroads; a
lircmen'S pension law and the enactment

THANKS A. +. OF l..

Washington, ID. C.-Secretary Frank
Morrison, OF the A. +. of L., has re-
ceived the following letter from Presi-
dent Golden, of the United Textile
Workers of America:
AT the convention of the United
Textile Workers of America, held in
New York City, October 16 to 21, a
resolution was unanimously passed in
structing the sccretary-trcaSurer to ex-
tend to President Gompers, Secretary
Morrison and the Executive Corn-
Gil OF the American Federation OF La
Dor a hearty vote of thanks for their
splendid assistance, both moral and
financial, which they have given the
United Textile Workers OF America
during the current year in aid Of the
campaign of organizing which has been
so successfully waged among the un-
organized textile workers of the coun-
try.
CAS- a result OF the success OF this
campaign ! only need to refer. to the
TACT that we are now paying per capita
tax on practically double the member
ship OF one year ago, and we are still
growing.
Had it not been for the splendid as
sistancc rendered by the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor, this healthy increase
in membership would not have been
possible"

HIGH WAGES; GREATER OUTPUT

Chicago.-Van II. Manning, director
of the federal bureau of mines, told the
convention of the American Mining Con-
gress that American wages are compen-
stated by the greater value of the output
per man and that American industries
have overcome foreign competition "by
reason of abundance of our natural re-
sources, ingenuity of our inventors and
improved machinery"
He protested against the too little re-
gard for the health and safety of the
men who labor and declared that eve
have become involved in an orgy of
hasty exploitation and we are nearing
the maximum production of some of the
minerals, though the original supply, if
wisely mined and utilized, would have
lasted many years longer and brought us
ten times the wealth"
