N. Y. TRIBUNE DIRECTOR
GIVES $1,000 to WILSON FUND

New York, Sept. 29.-Frederick r.
Aver has sent a check to Chairman
Vance Mccormick of the Democratic
National Committee for 1000, his
contribution to the campaign fund for
the reelection of President Wilson.
With his check he sent letter in
which he said:
Convinced as ! am that Mr.. Wilson
is one of the greatest Presidents we
have ever had, his hatred of war and
love Of his country perching like jew
els in his crown of office, | send you
herewith enclosed my check for ST.

paign fund for his election"
With the announcement of the con-
tribution there came yesterday the in
formation that MIR. Aver is lawyer
and financier and member of the
Union League Club, which means that
he is a Republican.
Aver is stakeholder and one of
the few directors of the New York
Tribune Association which prints the

GOOD OLD DAYS
, OF MARK HANNA

In his ringing speech last Saturday
President Wilson said:
1.-TWO years ago the Republicans
fancied that there was a reaction
against the Democratic party, be-
cause it had been going some, l ad-
init. And so in the campaign for the
congressional elections two years ago
some of their most distinguished lead
ters said that what this country need
ed was a business administration. A
Feturn to the good old days of Mark
Hanna.
"a further definition was unneces-
sary. The good old days OF Mark
Hanna. No thoughtful man in this
country would propose that we should

control practiced by Senator Hanna,

the political arrangements and the
expenditure of unlimited money in

was responsible, but now you will
notice we have returned to the good

publican party.
"SOme of the very gentlemen who
were prominent in that odious regime

management of the Republican cam

APPROPRIATE TUNE

Young Mr.. Hallowell was not much
of preacher, but, much to his own
surprise and everybody else's, he was
appointed chaplain on a battleship.
He desired to amuse as we'll as in
struct his men, and to that end he
arranged magic lantern lecture on
Bible scenes and incidents.
A sailor who possessed gramo-
phone was obtained to discourse APP
propriate music between the slides.
The first picture shown was Adam
and Eve in the Garden of Eden. The
sailor cudgeled his brains and ran
through his repertoire, but he could
think of no piece exactly appropriate.
"Play up, play up" whispered the
chaplain.
Suddenly an inspiration struck the
sailor, and, to the CONSERVATION of
the CHAPLAIN and the delight of the
audience, the gramophone squawked
out:
"There is only one girl in this world
for me-"

Leading German
American to Wilson

Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. 29.-"I am
deeply persuaded that no man in the
presidential chair could, with safety
to our country, have pursued sub
stantially different course from that
of President Wilson, or conducted it
with fewer errors. His course, found
ed on the knowledge and principles of
international law, has been just and
| impartial to all warning nations"
said F. C. WinSler, Wisconsin's lead
ing German-American and one of the
best known Germans in the United
States, in statement given out here.
He has voted the Republican ticket
since 1860.
"The last three years have been a
strenuous period for the President of
the United States" Winkler contin-
ued. "The responsibility thrown upon
him, the difficulties and perplexing
questions which have beset him have
far exceeded those of any other man
living on this continent. He was
President Of the United States. Ev-
cry step he took, every move he made
had to be viewed from the standpoint
of that high office. The rules Of in
ternational laws of his country were
his inevitable guiue.
"The maintenance of the rights and
peace of his country and the protec-
ton of its citizens were his necessary
aims. To the discharge of these du-
ties, President Wilson brought I'M
questioned devotion, very great abil-
ity and steady firmness of Judgment,
coupled with the moderation becom-
ing to his great Office. And with sue
cess. While the most frantic of wars
involves all Europe, the United States
and all their inhabitants are in the
full enjoyment of peace.
''We are still in the throes of the
European conflict and also in a strug-
gle for modus vivendi with Mexico.
In both cases the cause of America
is in the hands of its President. While
he is, in undoubtable good faith,
bending all his energies to maintain
our rights, our interests and our hon
or, should we not stand by him and
sustain his hands?
''By throwing him out of Office and
putting an untried man in his place
to tack UP his work anew, do we en-
nance the strength and prestige of
our country? Do we not proclaim to
those with whom we have contro-
versies that we are an unstable lot,
likely to undo tomorrow what we
have laborously accomplished today?
Are we a nation?
