WHY WILSON SHOULD WIN
Chicago Lawyer and Writer Tells
Why Farmers and Wage Farmers
Owe Him Support.
TRADE NOT HIS FIRST CONCERN
Shows Broad and Deep Sympathy for
Fellow-Mnn, and Talks Less OF
Markets Than OF Men-AI0ved by
Wide Sympathics.

No man holds the confidence and
a"ec'ion OF the workers In greater
measure than Clarence $. barrow, the
Chicago lawyer and writer, who has
so often championed their cause i'm the
courts. Mr.. Darrow has Just given
To the Newspaper Enterprise As.ocia-
ton the following statement of why
the farmers and wage carriers of
America should support Mr.. Wilson:
by CLARENCE =. BARROW.
President Wilson has shown ,,r,
and deep sympathy for his fellow
nlan He is human. He talks Loo.
CT markets than OF men. Trade AM,
industry are not his first concern
with hughes, we hear about the t.rire
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
h"ch moved by such sympathies as
wilson. and 1T the same time had IN.
wide vision, historical knowledge and
good Judgment to know what could
hc accomplished.
Hughes is t" he elected. there
should he some reason for present dis
satisfaction and some hone in 4,
change. Shall sir Wilson'S foreign
policy be changed? II so. how? It is
dishonest for Mr.. hughes or MIR noose-
welt TO criticize Wilson's policy with
out showing what they would do
they dare not announce :, policy OF
their own different from The one that
Mr.. Wilson has followed with rare
patience, ;nc Judgment and self-con-
troll
Would Mr.. Roosevelt use his biz,
stick on Germany. or England or Men
leo. or all of these at once" Those who
are TO furnish tho blood and trsas,:c
ought 10 inow. Has the Interference
Win letter. OF evcn ,hc sinking II
Il SHIP been grave enough to make Us
plunge deliberately into the red
niaeistrom? DO our men and women
believe they should furnish tho .ife
and treasure for this mad carnage?
ALL WHO WANT WAR

Are We TO take greater tribute
from the consumer for the steel trust
ana other trusts. whose stocks are

Wages are regulated by the law Of
supply and demand. In Europe, after
the war. there will be more work 10

ruined cities and her blood soaked
land.
Is MIR Hughes against an eight-hour

he would so blackjack to what? The
road in that direction is long and ends
