VIM. THURSToN BROWN FOR
ILSON.-The writer Of this letter
has supported the Socialist party
since 1900, my last vote being cast
for Rodriguez last April. But in this
election l should certainly vote for
Mr.. Wilson if my recent removal
from Chicago had not made me lose
my vote. And I should vote for Mr..
Wilson because of my devotion to
exactly the purposes which brought
the Socialist movement into exis-
tence.
It seems to me that the working
people of this county cannot better
serve themselves or their cause by a
vote than by re-electing Mr.. Wilson.
The election of Mr.. Hughes would
mean reaction, would mean electing
bitter struggle, rigid capitalist domi-
nation and warfare with little hope
in it for the workers.. The election
of Mr.. Wilson means placing in the
presidency, or rather continuing in
the presidency, a man whose mind
is more sympathetic to the workers
in their struggle than that of any
president since Lincoln. Mr.. Wilson
may not see the problem of the
workers as the workers see it, but
he has shown himself more capable
Of learning than any president within
my memory.
The souIless exploiters of labor in
this country to a man are behind
Hughes and against Wilson. But the
men and women of deep sincerity
and devotion of social vision and
warm sympathy, like Jane Adams,
Thomas A. Edison, Ella Flagg Young,
Prof. John Dewey, Lillian Valid,
Amos Pinchot, Helen Keller, Luther
Burbank, Ida TarbeI, Stephen S.
Wise and Frank Walsh and many
more of the same sort, are earnestly

as president, taken as a WHOLE
marks a new era in America political
life. He has given the Office Of pres
ident value to the mass of the peo-
pie which it never had before in this
country It is easy to criticize any
man in public office - it would be
easy to criticize a Socialist president.
But Mr. Wilson's attitude toward the
Mexican revolution is absolutely I'M
precedented in the history of this
government-perhaps in all modern
democracy.
Mr.. Wilson cannot and will not
give us ocialism-neither can any
other president. But his election
would be victory for all forward
looking men and women in the ma
tion-a victory Of far-reaching i'm
portance.-Wm. Thurston Brown.
OUR PROSPERITY.-A few days
ago read in your paper Mr.. Ford's
comments on President Wilson, in
which he also mentioned the so much
lauded prosperity of our country.
There is nothing in the world which
would make me feel more embar-
raised than to have someone make
me believe in something which is far
from being in our possession. It is
easy for people in Ford's standing to
say that we are prosperous.
But how about the people and
workingmen in general? Do they
share anything out of this prosperity,
or do they at least understand it?
No affirmative answer could be given,
and all that could be said in its favor
is that they are the ones who pay for
it, and as time goes on they more
and more begin to feel the Tightening
claw of Wall street prosperity.
