by Harry b. Hunt
Cincinnati, O., Oct. 11.-A danger
more menacing to the peace and
weI-being of the United States than
any that has yet confronted it would
result from the defeat of Pres. Will
son for reelection is the opinion of
former Gov. JUdson Harmon of Ohio.
Harmon, twice governor, former
attorney general of the U. S. under
Pres. Cleveland, railroad executive
and student of world politics, told to-
day for the first time what, in the
present campaign, he considered the
issue that should determine the
course of American voters Nov. II.
''The biggest question in this cam
paign," Harmon declared, 'is wheth-
er an administration which, in the
midst of a world war, with tremen-
dous forces at work to drag us into
the conflict, has kept us at peace
and prosperous, is to be upheld or
discredited.
Between the election Nov. II and
the Inauguration March four
months will elapse. Should Pres.
Wilson be defeated those would be
four months in which his hands
would be absolutely tied in handling
the delicate diplomatic negotiations
that alone have kept US from beCom-
ing tangled in war.
"For to other nations Pres. Will
sons defeat would mean simply that
his foreign policy had been discred-
ited-that the people of the U. S. re-
fused to back him up in his efforts
to keep this country at peace.
-Four months between his defeat
and the Inauguration Of the new ad-
ministration would be a period of alb
soIute chaos so far as our foreign re-
IatiOns were concerned. And out of
this condition might - and under
present conditions very likely would
arise complications of the greatest
danger to the future of this country.

SHALL THIS NATION DIsCREDIT PRESIDENT
WHO KEPT 1T OUT OF WAR?
FORMER

FORMER GOV. JUDSON HARMON.
Europe the people are standing solid
ly behind their governments - are
backing them up with their lives.
Petty differences, minor domestic
issues and disagreements are laid
aside until the big danger has passed.
Nothing is permitted to weaken the
solid support they are giving their
governments in a time of crisis.
But this is a time of crisis for the
United States as we'll as for the ma
tions of Europe. We, too, must back
up our administration. Not because
we are in war, but because it has
kept us out of war. BY supporting
the course of the Wilson administra-
tion with our votes we will lessen
the likelihood of having to support
the course of some other administra-
ton Withour lives.
81 can think of nothing so lament
able as for this nation, in a time of
peace and plenty, which has been Sc
cured to us only by the tireless ef-
forts of Pres. Wilson, to invite dan
ger and disaster by change of ad-
ministTation.
Every issue Hughes has raised or
has sought to raise is insignificant
beside the issue Of whether Pres.
Wilson's handling of our foreign re-
lations is to be upheld or discredited.
Hughes has been a great disap-
pOintment. He has not measured up
to presidential standards.
His campaign reveals himself and
his party managers simply as job
seekers.
"They offer nothing constructive;
they are simply seeking to becloud
and obscure the real issue, which is
whether we wish to overthrow an
administration which, in time of war,
has kept us at peace; whether we
wish to jeoparize our peace by turn
ing over our government, at time of
crisis To an iOeYOeTie0cnd 11OtTied
