EOR Hughes 2O9S Wilson 651 That is the result
\ Of non partisan poll of Princeton alumni taken
by committee OF gradutes from that university under
the auspices of the Hughes National College League
The poll reveals that 492 Princeton alumni who voted

which is going to Wilson
Equally sgnifcent is the fact that $50 men who
voted for Roosevelt in 1912 are going to vote for
Hughes and only 81 for Wilson. In other words over
80 per cent. Of the Progressive vote is going to

AN INTERVIEW WITH 4. W. SHAW
BY SAMUEL CROwTHER.

THE far-sighted business men of
the country are not going to vote the
Democratic ticket, because they have
discovered that the Administration
has neither comprehension Of or a
plan TO meet the extraordinary busi-
ness conditions which will follow the
war"
This is the way A. w. Shaw. the
editor and publisher of the magazine
System" and Factory" sums up the
attitude of the thinking business men
towards the Wilson Administration
Mr.. Shaw knows as much about
business as any man i'm this country.
The movements of business have been
his life study; he is the foremost au-
thority on the problems of distribu-
tion. He is a member OF the faculty
of the Harvard Graduate School Of
Business Administration and is the
Chairman Of the Committee on the De-
partment Of Commerce of the United
States Chamber Of Commerce. Ho
therefore speaks not only for himself
but as a thoroughly informed repre-
sentative Of business in general In
addition to his American activities he
is also the publisher of a business
magazine in England, and has kept
minutely informed as 10 the business
conditions, both IN England and on
the continent.
president Wilson has said that he
did not know enough about business
10 have any of its preiudices. But il
was left to Secretary McAdoo to DEM
onstrate the other day at Chicago.
the almost child-like faith of The Ad-
ministratiOn in the eternity of our
war prosperity. He is reported to
nave said in Chicago last week. Our
Vlrile' rich, unnamed and highly de-
veloped people need fear nothing from
the competition OF stricken and bro
ken Europe after the war
THE man who imagines that Eur.
ope is coming out Of this war econom-
ically stricken and broken has refused
TO take an account of facts. The in
dustry Of Europe is organized as IL
never was organized before. Fngr
land, Germany and France. have liter.
ally been converted into factories.
with the whole non -combatant popu-
lation as employees. Premier Asquith
'Nih hot luu5 SinCtt tNub the kngNSn
manufacturers had evolved new labor
saving and time-saving procedures
with almost every branch of industry:
he said, Changes have taken place
which amount to a positive revolu-
tion.' know from correspondence
that British and German industry is
better organized and more efficient
than it had ever BEEN the making not
only Of munitions. but Of everything
that the armed forces need is better
organized than are we here in the
United States in almost any branch OF
industry.
Another factor to be considered Is
the tremendous number Of new wo
men workers. The women of England
arc now in the munition shops. They
are not engaged in unsklled work. AZ
low pay-many of them have devel- |
oped remarkable capacity for direct
ing the machinery Of precision on
which only the highest priced and
most snllful men were formerly en-
ployed. These women are receiving
much the same wages as the men.
whose places they took. and in most
cases they are doing better work !

Do not assail the tariff as the root

The Democratic Business FaIIacies

than did the men. England is now, in
spite OF the millions Of men in the
battleields. actually producing a
greater volume of commodities than
when all its workmen were in peace.
When the war stops. our war
orders will stop. and the competition
Of Europe will begin. Millions OF
trained and hardened men will come
out of the trenches to join with other
millions Released from the manufac-
ture of munitions, and supplemented
by the trained women workers, to
turn all the highly developed labor
saving machinery to the producing OF
the commodities of peace. They will
all be trained and disciplined-ready
to battle in the shop as in the field.
This is the sort Of competition
which we shall have, not only in ev-
cry market that we are now enjoying
outside our boundaries, but also right
here at home.
"The war debts will not seriously
handicap Europe in business. The
familiar smile of a debt-burdened
merchant does mot apply TO a nation
with a war debt The people will have
more government charges to pay than
ever before, but they will also have
more productivity than ever before.
How are we equipped to meet such
competition? AS a people we have
grown fat on easy orders and huge
profits The unthinSing portion Of
our people refuse absolutely to make
ready for a commercial struggle. II
is sQuarely up TO the business men of
the country 10 see to it that an Ad-
ministration is returned which will
lead in constructive business thought
and not an Administration that will
follow only the easiest way.
"Our present splendid prosperity
may be made the foundatiOn Of a new
and greater nation, or it may be only
the prelude to a collapse. II we con-
slider the prosperity as a bit of luck,
which will give us extra capital for
our business undertakings, then we
shall come out ahead although only
after a fight. But if we imagine that
the world is weak and incompetent
that we alone are strong, we will
awake only when the world has pass
ed us.
Nothing could be more ridiculous
than TO say that the Administration
caused prosperity. Such a statement
is not only untrue, but is viciously
untrue, because the prevalence OF
such an untruth will make proper
impossible.
The Underwood Tariff was we'll on
its way toward impoVerishing the
country when the war in Europe
broke out. In January, 1915, the Net
rOpOlitan Life Insurance Company
found that Is per cent. of the wage
aarners holding policies were un-
employed On this basis there were
i42,000 out OF employment in New
York City alone. at this time. It is
estimated that at least
100000 wage-earners were out of
work. or on part-time during the
winter Of 1914.

PROTECTIVE TARIFF NECESSARY FOR EIGHT.
HOUR LAW

a DVoCACY OF an eight hour day by party which
IA rejects the doctrine of protection is mere idle
demagogy. An eight-hour day means an increase
in the cost OF production proper increase. but
nevertheless increase Increased OF produc-
ton means higher selling price and if the Amer-
can manufacturer is compelled TO pay for his
labor and TO sell his goods higher prices how is
he to continue in business il he has compete with
the European manufacturer, paying lower for
longer hours1
II may be possible 10 pass wage increase bill, af
fecting small percentage OF the worlmen in par
ticular industry without protective tariff and then
TO call il "eght-hour law" but il isn't eight
hour law, and such law will not benefit the
very it is designed to help II the freight yards
OF the country filled with idle freight a
they were in 1914. because American industries have
been destroyed by competition from abroad.
II would not help labor generally to pass eight
hour law for the entire United States il the indus
tries Of the United States TO be subjected TO
competition which will drive them out OF business.
What benefit is it to the hunting employment to
know that the law prohibits his being worked more
than eight hours when he get no work at an?
Adequate protection for American Industries is the
foundation on which eight-hour legislation must rest
Eight-hour legislation built Democratic tariff leg

Reply to him follows:

question:
What do get il I assist in defeating that Repub-

Let him give answer to his own question or neces-

Then let him ask himself
"win I gain anything by defeating a Republican
