should be exposed.
II am for this reason earnestly sup
porting Woodrow Wilson. l am not
a partisan. Heretofore we have been
| Republicans. In this campaign my
reasoning and instinct urges me to
advocate Wilson and oppose Hughes.
/ am against Hughes because his en-
tire mental training removes him
from hat relationship that has the
feeling and sympathy that comes with
the everyday humane view Of things.
The spirit that animates him is the
protection solely OF the men with the
dollars and making human kind de
pendent on the mercy of the posses
sor of large wealth, and such as a
rule are harsh and unfeeling. The
speeches delivered so far by Hughes
enforce this view. No ideal OF up
lifting thought publicly expressed in
that purely legally trained corpora
ton mind. 1t shows favoritism for
the powerful. There is no building
in his aim as expressed that will help
the humble and God-1ike to work out
their independent destiny. To my
mind such a nan would make a rule
by thumb executive, but never q
broadgau2e man with initiative such
rs Wilson has proven.
81 am for Woodrow Wilson be-
cause his whole official attitude has
been for the better side of life. His
administration is founded on a hui
name policy. The legislation advo-
Gated, the arguments advanced by
WILSON, are pleas in behalf Of bettef
conditions and for greater advantages

for social justice and better economic
conditions.
"Throughout Wilson has %striver
Tor higher self-government. He IS
against the old wornout powers OF
control and absorption and favoritism
of private special interests. He IS
! against militarism and industrial des-
! potism. His public career shows that
he is with the trend that means ulti-
mately an industrial democracy.
