ATTY, DARROW
 LABOR ADVOCATE {. ON DAYS ISSUES
The People or the Money h. terests is Lawyers View
 of Two Candidates.
CBy Clarence s. Darrow.)

President Wilson has shown a broad and deep sympathy for his fellow man. He is human. He talks less of markets than of men. Trade and industry are not his first concern. With Hughes, we hear about the tar if, about business, about the strict rules of law, about an inundation of foreign goods. In short, about money and his desire to save the country by being elected President.
 Few men in high places have ever been moved by such sympathies as Wilson, and at the same time had the wide wisdom, historical knowledge and good judgment to know what could be accomplished.
 If Hughes is to be elected, there should be some reason for present dissatisfaction and some hope in a. change. Shall MT. Wilson's foreign policy be changed? If so, how? It is dishonest for MT. Hughes or Mr. Roosevelt to criticise Wilson's policy without showing what they would do. They dare not announce a policy of their own different from the one that MT. Wilson has followed with rare patience, fine judgment and self con- trol.
 Would MT. Roosevelt use his big stick on GermanS, or England. or Mexico, or all of these at once? Those who are to furnish the blood and treasure ought to know. Has the in- reference with letter, or even the sinking of a ship, been grave enough to make us plunge deliberately into the red maelstrom? Do our men and women believe they should furnish the life and treasure for this mad earn age?
 All who want war are against Will son. War on whom and how much :? With U. s. Steel stock selling a. third higher than in all its history, with this company earning more than 50 per cent. on the common stock for the current year, shall we give them more?
 from the consumer for the Steel Trust and other trusts, whose stocks are now soaring at the mere hope of Do we want more tariff on steel? Do we want more on woolen goods? Do we want more on sugar? If we do not want more on these, on what ? Prey, what do we want? Does the working man or the farmer want a higher tariff? In this carnival are they to be the shearers, or the sheep?
 If we are to be inundated with goods after the war, want to be present at the inundaton, for I can use the goods. But why should we, in our strength and greatness, borrow trou- b1e over the competition of our af- f1icted fellow men? Wages will be higher in Europe than ever after the war. Wages are regulated by. the law of supply and demand In Eur ope after the war there will be more work to do and fever to do it. Emi- grafton will turn the other way to build up her ruined cities and her blood soaked land.
 Is MT. Hughes against an eight hour day? He says not. He is only against an eight-hour law. He dare not say he would go back,-back tc what? The road in that direction is long and ends in the slavery of the working man.
 Who wants a change? Is it the farmer, the working man, the student, the lover of his country? Or is it the great interests with swollen fortunes, their bloated arrogance, their impu- dent, unhoIy and everlasting demand for money?

In addition to the disarming of the warships named, their crews were to be reduced to one third the regular complement. It was explained that the dispatch of artil- lery and ammunition to the interior, the movements of Greek ships and the continued activity of the reservist leagues aroused fears of a disturbance of order at points where the allies war vessels were anchored, and also of the danger to the security of the allied troops on the Balkan front.

VOTE STANDS 276 TO 142
President Wins Fight for Congress.
sionaI Support in His Objection
to Teuton Undersea Policy.

Washington, March 8.-President
Wilson completely and decisively won
his long and sensational fight to com.
pei congress to acknowledge that it
stands behind him in the submarine
negotiations with Germany.
To the rallying cries of "Stand by
the president" and els it Lansing and
Wilson or o Bernstorff and the kali
ser?" a big Democratic majority and
nearly half Of the Republicans in the
house rolled up overwhelming votes
against the movement to warn Ameri.
cans off the armed ships of the Euro.
pean %belligerents.
The celebrated McLemore resolu.
ton, around which the a%nti-adminis.
tration forces centered their fight,
was tabled, in other words killed, just
as was the Gore resolution for a SINH.
lar purpose in the senate last week.
From the very outset of the fight
the presidents supporters, without re.
gard to party, swept over the opposi.
ton.
First Test Vote Assures Victory.
On the first vote, whick was a par
liamentasy proposition. to prevent
opening the McLemore resolution to
amendment and unlimited debate, the
administration forces carried the day
256 to 100. On that 1872 Democrats,
So Republicans and 1 Progressive

Again they carried the day, this
time 271 to 1873, and then pushed their
victory to a confusion by tabling the
McLemore resolution, 276 to 142.
In seven hours of tense, turbulent
session, in which the administration
opponents charged that the president
was c%ontending for a doubtful Legal
right and was shifting the RESPONSE
bility of diplomatic negotiations tt
congress, the house swayed back ant
forth in the most sensational congress
