New York, Sept. 3O.-Col. George
Harvey who more than any other
individual helped make Woodrow
Wilson President OF the United
States. now urges every patriotic
American to vote for Hughes.
In the forthcoming issue of the
North American Review, of which
Col. Harvey is editor, he reviews the
record of the Wilson Administration
and says the two vital questions to
be answered at the polls are, which
of the two great parties at this par
ticular juncture is the better equipp-
ed and the more likely to render the
highest public service, and which of
the two designated leaders is the
7 more certain to preserve, protect and
defend the Constitution of the United
States The overpowering issues are
military and industrial preparedness,
government by and for the people.
national. honor and opportunity.
Regarding military and Industrial
preparedness, Col. Harvey concluded
that we can not expect adequate pre-
paredness in the navy while MIR. Dan
iels remains at its head. He says
Daniels has neither the skill nor the
will to expend effectively the great
sums of money To be drawn from the
people by their command for imme-
date protection. II he is retained
I'm authority for another four years.
our first line of defense. already
gravely impaired, will be shattered,
and the navy itself from the highest
Admiral to the humblest sailor will
raise hands to high heaven in dis
gust and despair.
Baker Ranked Higher.
The new Secretary of War is plac-
ed by Col. Harvey on higher
plane than Secretary Daniels. He
says the amorphous scheme of fed
eralizing the militia has already
proved abortive. and if anything were
needed TO aliiX the finality of failure
It appears in the. laundering of the
War Departments call to arms,
which convinced every guardsman
sent to the border that he had been
tricked into an enlistment which he
had never intended to make.
The question now is a question Of
the utilization OF the resources in
hand to the greatest advantage of the
country in obtaining the quickest and
most effectual result by the Repub-
licans who are sincere in their ad-
vocacy of preparedness, or the DEM
ocrats who are not.
Col. Harvey calls attention to the
plans being formulated by the world
powers for mutual trade in
crease at the close of the war and the
capture of the markets of the world
and adds. that what this may mean
To American manufacturers, work
ingmen and farmers is patent. The
pressing question is which of the
two parties is the better equipped to
inject the situation. The Democrats,
tacitly, thru the creation of a Tar
IN Commission, have conceded the
need of protective measures. But
they have only becked at the problem
for political purposes without at
tempting i'm any serious way to eff
feet solution. On the other hand,
MIR. Hughes is really convincing in
his insistence that the only way to
meet the situation is with protection,
and we are driven to the practical
conclusion that true industrial pre-
paredness, i'm common with true mil
itary preparedness, can be attained
only thru it's sincere advocates and
consistent friends, the Republic
ans.
Wage Legislation.
Reviewing the action of President
Wilson in regard to the wage in

that since FIT. Sumpter was fired up
