cept in 1872, when he was forced by
the lack of Democratic nominee to
cast his ballot for Horace Greeley,
says: IL expect to vote for Woodrow
Wilson, but l don't like his course in
the railroad dispute. He didn't do
right"
The railroad controversy has intro
duced moral issue into the campaign.
Mr.. Wilson sacrificed principle to ex-
pediency, or what he judges to be ex-
pediency, wheR he tamely surrendered
to the demands of the train-service
brotherhoods.
He put his own personal and party
need before the public good. He angl-
ed for votes. He aimed a body blow
at the tried and tested arbitration
method of settling differences.

to have exclaimed to the railroad man.

as their employees. But he could have
helped them IL he had stood impartial
less train-service representatives who
were bent on their rule-or-ruin pro-
gramme.
HE didn't do right" The conscious
ness of that fact is sinking deep into
the American mind.
"He didn't do right" That wide
spread conviction will cost him thou
sands of votes on election day.
"He didn't do right" He preferred
the weak. the timid attitude of the

The American people like courage.
They like convictions. They like a
man who has the courage of his con-
victions. They like a man who is
willing to risk consequences for the
sake of just cause.

"But, since it is low tide, you'll have

Bakers Scalp, or Wilson's.

A veteran OF the Civil War stamped
into this Office to state: i've been a
Wilson man but IL he doesn't hang
Secretary Baker I'll vote against him.
And then he stamped out again.
Formal demand on President Wilson
that he repudiate his Secretary Of War.
together with the demand that Secre-
tary Baker resign from Office, has been
made by the National Society Of the
Daughters Of the American Revolution.
the Woman's Relief Corps, the Ladies'
Union Veteran Legion, and, indeed, all
the patriotic women's organizations
which have headquarters in Washing
ton. This demand Is. of course, made
because Of Mr.. Bakers speech in Jer-
sey City in which. endeavoring to de-
fend the Wilson Mexican policy, he
described the patriots who followed
Washington from Bunker Hill to York
town as thieves, church hooters and dis
reputable characters generally.
No one will feel more keenly than the
members of these patriotic societies
the humiliation which Mr.. Bakers
slurs are bound to prove to all Amer
leans. The chief mission Of these noble
organizations of women is to teach
patriotism, and a correlated duty, es-
