stated in these interviews and in
these letters, with the utmost emphasis,
that the decision of this point. like the
whole matter of running separate
ticket. would have 70 be determined by
what the interests of the country de
manded in view of the action finally
taken by the conventions at Chicago.
At the time many of the Republican
leaders asserted that my statements
were not made in good faith; that |
really intended to insist upon my own
nomination by the Republican conven-
ton: and that if | was not SO nomi-
mated | intended TO accept the Pro-
gressive nomination and run on third
ticket.
OF course, my fellow Progressives
were under no such error. They knew

exactly what | said. They knew that
my utterances were 10 be accepted at
their exact face value as meaning that
if the Republicans nominated man
whom we could conscientiously support
we would support him. The Progressive
convention came together knowing my
public statements. and therefore know
ing exactly what my attitude was.
In my judgment the nomination OF
Mr. Hughes meets the conditions set
forth in tho statement of the Progress
sivc National Committee, issued last
January, and IN my own statements.
Under existing conditions the nomi-
nation of third ticket would. IN my
judgment. be merely a move IN the in
terest of the election Of Mr.. Wilson.

with Germany abroad was also shown
by him in dealing with the organized
German outrages within our own land
and, finally, in dealing with the organ
lied German American vote. The con
tinued existence Of the German -Amerl-
can menace at home is directly due 70
Mr.. Wilson's course of action during
the last two years.
Certain OF my friends who feel that
the Progressves should run a third
ticket base their feeling on objection
to the character or actions OF the Re
publican National Convention. AS re-
CARDS this point. it is sufficient TO say
that the members of the Republican
National Convention were unquestion-
ably induced to nominate Mr.. Hughes
primarily because of the belief that
his integrity and force of character
and his long record Of admirable pub
lie service would make him peculiarly
acceptable not only to the rank and
file Of the Republican party but TO the
people generally do not believe that
Mr. Hughes would have been nomi-
mated II il had not been for the fight
on behalf Of public decency and eff
cheney which the Progressive party has
waved during the past four years.

Easy and Safe to Act.

As regards the foreign situation gen
orally during tfse great war. the fact
Of the existence of the war made it far
easier and safer for Mr.. Wilson to as
sert our rights than II he had had to
deal with some single strong power
which was at the time unhampered by
war
During the last twenty years ques-
tons have arisen with powers Of the
first rank, such as England, Japan and
Germany. each Of which has necessi-
tsted far greater courage. resolution
and judgment on the part Of the Presi-
dent dealing with II than President
Wilson need have shown in order to
put complete stop 10 the continually
repeated murder of American men,
women and children on the high seas
by German submarines the Lustania
being merely the worst Of many such
cases. The same feebleness that was
shown by President Wilson in dealing

Considers Nations Welfare.

In any event, and without any re-
gard TO what the personal feelings OF
any Of US may be as regards the &C
ton Of the Republican convention,
wish very soemnly to ask the repre-
sentatives Of the Progressive party to
consider at this time only the welfare
OF the people Of the United States
We shall prove false 20 our ideals and
our professions if, in this grave crisis
Of the nations life, we permit ourselves
10 be swervod from the one prime
duty of serving with cool judgment
and single minded devotion the ma
tion's needs.
Our own political fortunes, indiyidu-
ally and collectively, arc Of no conse-
quence whatever when compared with
the honor and welfare Of the people Of
the United States Such things do not
count when weighed in the balance
against our duty TO serve well the
country in which, after we are dead
our children and our children's chill
dren are TO live.
The world is passing through a great
crisis and no man can tell what trial
and jeopardy will have 10 be faced by
this nation during the years immedi-
ately ahead. There is now no longer be
fore US for decision the question as TO
what particular man we may severaliy
most desire TO see at the head of the
government. We can decide only
whether during these possibly vital
years this country shall be intrusted to
the leadership OF Mr.. Hughes or Mr..
Wilson.
Mr.. Wilson has been tried and
found wanting. His party. because Of
its devotion 10 the outworn theory of
state rights, and because Of its reli
ance upon purely sectional support,
stands against that spirit of farsight-
ed nationalism which is essential if
we are to deal adequately with our
gravest social and industrial problems.
Mr.. Wilson and his party have in
actual practice lamentably failed 70
safeguard the interest and honor of the
United States. They have brought US to
impotence abroad and to division and
weakness at home. They have accus-
toned US to see the highest and most

Praises Good Germans.

These men have nothing in common
with the great body of Americans who
are in whole or in part Of German
blood, and who are precisely as good
Americans as those OF any other ances-
try There are not. and never have
been. in all our land better citizens
than the great mass Of the men and

have been or are being completely

good Americans are no more German
Americans than they arc English
Americans or lrish-Americans or Sean
