NEW HAVEN MAN
 TELLS WHY HE'S AGAINST. HUGHES
pr. Mcintosh, Prominent
 Progressive, Says Wilson is For Common Good.

Dr. Edward F. Mcintosh, of New Haven, member of the Progressive Town Committee and one of the lead CTS, of the Progressive movement in . the state tells why Progressives should support Woodrow Wilson in- stead of MT. Hughes.
 Here they are:
 First. If MT. Hughes is elected an irreparable damage will be done to the prestige of the Supreme Court In the future other members may hope to win the presidency, and their decisions will be modified in such manner as not to embarrass them when they appear before the people as a candidate. The courts must be kept above politics. A vote for MT. Wilson will help to keep the Supreme Court out of politics.
 Second. The reunited Republican party contains such heterogeneous and divergent clements that harmon ious action by it is impossible. Look what it\ contains, MT. Roosevelt vs. the hyphens. Messrs Perkins, Pin chot and Robbins vs. Messrs. Crane, Smoot and Penrose, progressives vs. reactionaries. With such clements around him, how can MT. Hughes speak fearlessly on any question?
 Third. The enemies of this coun- try are all backing MT. Hughes. If he is elected 1t will be claimed as a German victory, and rejoicing will take place among the Germans in Berlin as we'll as this country. The Germans would punish the President for failure to be pro-German.
 Fourth. The Republican party it. self in the vote on the McLemore resolution shows plainly how little it is to be trusted to defend American ism"
 Fifth. President Wilson has made some costly errors. but he has done much to rectify them. The splendid achievements of his administration make strong appeal to every intel ligent voter in the country.
 Sixth. Progressive principles have been pushed to the front by the Presi- dent. More progressive laws have been enacted in this, than any former administration.
 Seventh. The Presidents "Ameri- canism" is of that brand which has turned every hostile hyphen against .aim. Those voters who love Amer zca more than a foreign country o0PPOIL AiI11 because or the enemies he has made.
 Eighth. The President has taken the credit power" away from Wall Street, has made money available for the business man and farmer. The financial autocrat can no longer take the wind out of other mems sails by his imperious nod.
 Ninth. The President has stood for the common good. The power of weafn and influence has failed to Gent nis armor Selfish business is ysij behind MT. Hughes.
 Tenth. The future of the progress sive cause is safer in Mr.s Wilson's hands than that o8 MT. Hughes. He has had four yearS experience in run ming the government, and has given the Progressives of the country every reason to believe that another four years will be an improvement on the past four years.
 Recent exposure of the secret and formal meeting between MT. Hughes and the notorious Jeremiah O'Leary. the results of which the latter claim ed are entirely satisfactory to him, furnishes sufficient smoke to make the average man believe, there is some fire there. What right has a "100 per cent. American candidate" Fto conferwith that man whom Presi-
