The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-10-17

damn your judgment So I say to Hughes and Roosevelt, bully for your pluck, but give me the judgment of Woodrow Wilson.
 "I don't care picayune for my own candidacy. but vote for Woodrow Will son; he's the hope of America.
 "Wilson has given us peace with honor. MT. Hughes may not think so, but Chief Justice White of the United States Supreme Court, of which Hughes was a member, thinks so. The remark of the Hughes Alliance, saying the flag is rag. if not treason, IS mighty close to 1t, and they should be ashamed of themselves"
 MT. Graves. one of the foremost Journalists of the country, whose pres ent sphere of activity is Atlanta, Ga-, in a rapid-f1re address, made splendid by his mastery of words, his beauty of expression and forcefulness of me- taphor was a treat. His indictment of Roosevelt was soaring. His descrip- tion of the Progressive convention was a revelation. Roosevelt's action he characterized as the most utter treachery he had known in a public man.
 He told his audience that the South was interested in Bridgeport and in Homer Cummings. He said Bridge port perhaps is the most interesting of the smaller cities of the United States.

I am glad it has been my fortune to get in touch with the calibre of men you are asking to represent you in your state, at the capitol and in the United States Senate.
 T had not before met your candi- date for governor but he impresses me as worthy to be governor of any state. He looks like a governor, carries on his face the impress of honesty and common sense which is needed In these eventfuI times in which we live.
 T am very glad had the pleasure of hearing your second speaker, who is candidate for secretary of state for Connecticut. really was impressed to hear man who first says he cannot speak and then speaks with that sip- cerity that is. the best expression of any mans political life. was priv ileged to attend many sessions of the Progressive convention as a newspa- per man and an observer of the cur rent events of our country. There were men in that convention who crossed the continent with marrow means and little money but fervent patriotism"
 Commenting upon the blind devotion the Progressives had for their leader, Theodore Roosevelt, in whom they be- lieved implicitly, the speaker said: 'I saw the delegates leave that hall in despair as they contemplated the ut most treaSons of any man towards a people who followed him with loyalty and faith"
