trt-c.ttI,S A REAL, PROGRESSIVE
or, ,,,. Indictment the nomination of
MIR Hughes meets the cohditlohs set |
forth In the statement OF the progressive
national committee issued iast '"""a'E -
and in my own statements unuer eN's'-
ing conditions, the nomination oi d UNI"
ticket would, in my judgment be merely
n move in the interest OF tne e'eo''o" VI
Mr. Wilson ] regard Mr. Hughes as
man whose PUBIC recorc IL qua 49,
that he would not merely stand 1or
program or clean-cut s'rHlSh'toi "''"
Amercanism before election but VIII res
olutely and In good faith put II throuRh
if elected lie is beyond all comparison
better fitted to be president than MI VIII
son. It would be grave detriment to
the country to re-elett Mi. WILSON, 'aIl'
therefore, strongly support Mr.. hughes
Such being the case 1t Is unnecessary 70
say that | cannot accept the nomination
on third ticket heneVe that Wneh
my fellow progressiVes coollv consider the
question they VIII Tor the most part take
this position. TheH and nave nut one
nurpose-the purpose 10 serve ON coun-
try. II is my deep conVicuon thet at TINS
ing Mr.. Hughes.
