DEWEY CONTENDS
DEMOCRACY is
PE0PLE'SPARTY
Foremost American Philoso-
pher Tells Why He'll
Vote for Wilson

John Dewey, probably the foremost
living American philosopher and ed
ucator, professor at Columbia, has an
nounced in The New Republic that al
though he twice voted for Mr.. Hughes
as governor, he will support Wilson
in this campaign. His main reason
follows:
Historically, aside from it's alliance
with the slave-owners, the Democratic
ses' By sympathies and by consti-
tuition, it has been the party of the
less fortunate, Of the poorer, of the
more ignorant But it's state-rights
philosophy has rendered it impotent to
carry it's sympathies into action. 1t
has been almost helpless in construc-
ton in the face of the industrial
changes which have swept the isolat-
ed locality and the old-fashioned pio-
neer and agrarian individualism out
of existence. It's only capital has been
it's tariff policy, which differs only in
degree from the Republican, and an
emotional belief in equal rights to
which it's traditional philosophy for
babe giving practical effect. 1t may
well be that Mr.. Wilson remains a
theoretical adherent Of this policy
But in the concrete he has shown po-
litical sense. He has appreciated the
moving forces of present Industrial
life and has not permitted the ira
ditional philosophy to stand in the way
of doing the things that need to be
done. This may be an instance of the
'temporizing' of which his enemies SO
bitterly accuse him. But I imagine
that his actual success is the real root
of their bitterness. A party which in
effect is as nationalistic as the Re-
publican, but which allies its nation
alism with the interests of the masses
and not of the privileged pecuniary
classes, is what, in my Judgment, this
country most needs. The promise of
it. under Wilson's leadership, consti-
tutes the real issue-the real some
thing at stake-in the present cam
paign."

MEDICAL WORLD
IN ITS COLUMNS
ENDORSES WILSON
Great Physicians Periodical
Says We Would Have
War With Hughes

New York, Nov. 2.-Refecting the
sentiments Of a large body Of physi-
clans throughout the country. The
Medical World. one Of the foremost
periodicals of it's kind and entirely
free from the political bias, presents
in its November issue, long editorial
that carefully analyses the present
campaign issues and concludes with
a strong Endorsement of President
Wilson. The editorial says in part:
Let us face the war issue. We
know what Mr.. Wilson has done. On
the other hand, judging from what
little Mr.. Hughes has said and the
much that Mr.. Roosevelt has said,
and which Mr.. Hughes says he in
dorses every word Of it seems to me
practically certain that if either of
these gentlemen had been. in the
White House, instead of Mr.. Wilson,
we would now be at war-no telling
with how many nations.
''As the issue is between a contin-
uation of Mr.. Wilson, or Mr.. Hughes,
with Mr.. Roosevelt as his probable
Secretary of State or Of war, and
with large influence on foreign affairs
Yin the Hughes Administration, my
choice is decidedly for a continuation
of Mr.. Wilson and a probable and de-
voutly hoped for continuation of
peace.
.tAnother important matter is, the
Senate is Democratic, and is certain
to remain so for at least the next two
years and probably for the next four.
So, if Mr.. Hughes is elected, what can
he do, with the upper house of Con-
gress against him. and probably the
lower? If Mr.. Wilson should be re-
elected, the upper house will continue
with him, and probably the lower. In
which direction, Hughes or Wilson,
lies the best prospect for efficient
government?
"Crudely put, the old saying ap-
plies: Don't trade horses while
crossing a stream The world now
is crossing the bloodiest stream in
history. If we have a good mount,
we should keep it, by all means, until
we get across

c. O.P. RECORD
AGAINST HELP
FOR FARMERS
Poses as Friend of Agricul-
turalist, But Opposes
Measures.

New York, Nov. 2.-While posing
as the friend Of the farmer the Re-
publican party, by it's own record in
Congress, is shown to be his enemy
Evidence of this may be found in the
Congress- onal Record containing the
speeches by Martin S. Madden, Re-
publican member of Congress from a
Chicago district, who frequently has
been his party's spokesman in the
House of Representatives, One of his
speeches was devoted to a criticism
of Democratic Congressman, in an eff
fort to show their unfitness to be in
control of legislation, because they
legislated too much for the farmer.
A few excerpts from his speech
which was loudly applauied from
the Republican side, will en-
able farmers to see why so lit
tie legislation of benefit to farmers
was, enacted while the Republicans
were in control of the Congress. They
also show how little farmers may ex-
pect from Republicans if they should
again get control of Congress in this
election: The excerpts follow:
"Your party (the Democrats) still
looks to the old ideas of legisIating
for the people who live in the coun-
try.
"You are frightened by the word
subsidy except when it gets into the
Agricultural appropriation bill.
"You are fearful that. the railroads
may earn dividends, and you are will
ing to build railroads at government
expense in Alaska and wagon roads
in every country district to facilitate
the rural delivery of mails.
"Your leaders live in the rural dis
tricts, and they see only the country
and it's products"
In this speech Mr.. Madden also
complained that the Presidents Cab
met and the chairmen of the most
important committees of both the
Senate and House were rural in their
tastes and understandings"
Farmers will recall that this same
Republican Congressman Is the man
who led the move to strangle the par
eel post, by throwing a joker in the
postoffice appropriation bill known as
the Madden Amendment. They will
remember that this effort was defeat
ed only by the vigorous opposition OF
the representatives from the rural
districts.

teenth district, I laid down the rule
that would make no promises except
that d would consider all bills with
an open mind and vote as I believed
to be for, the welfare of the district
and the state. I can, however, state
my past actions; I attended a hear
ing at Hartford to protest against en-
acting the amendment OF 1915"
P. B. O'Sullivan said: "In the event
of my election you can count on me
in every way. shape and particular to
| restore the law of 1913 to the statute
books" a.
Henry S. Stevenson says: You can
rely upon my sympathy and influence
in the aid of civil service"
William A. Seymour says: IT shall
be glad to assist in restoring the Civil
Service law to its former position
James r. May says: 9TH, nature
of the change in, the civil service law
Of 1913 does not appeal to me-"
Rollin U. Tyler says: '1f elected, I
shall be in favor of returning to the
principles of civil service law of
1872
w. F. Kirchberger says: GAS rule
I am opposed to making promises be-
fore election. Many times a candi-
date is asked to state his position on
matters with which he Is not familiar.
but concerning the Civil Service law
passed in 1913 will say, that as a
member Of the House at the time I
worked and voted for the passage of
the bill, and If elected senator from
this district will do all I possibly can
to have the law restored to it's orig
inal form. as I have always felt that
the amendment Of 1915 was step
in the wrong direction"
William Vollmer says: II am not
in favor of any law which can be sus-
pended at the request of those who
find it inconvenient. What is good
for 'one is good for ALL If, as you
state, the Civil Service law, as amend
ed or another law, is optional, I, if
elected, would be only too glad to
correct such an injustice"
John E. Doughan, Of New Haven,
says: II might add that I personally
was one of the victims Of the particu-
lar amendment referred to, having
been appointed to a position under
the factory inspector during the ad-
ministration of Governor Baldwin and
having been removed for no assigned
reason, but in fact to, make room for
a ward of one of the Republican Big
Four. 1 hope I do not need to say
thatI except myself from the num-
Der of those so wantonly removed and
whom I would have you labor to re-
store to the state service in vindica-
ton of a fair and square civil SER
vice reform movement, for I hope to
serve the state in another capacity,
that of state senator for the eleventh
district"

Forest range for the coming season
Is going to be unusually heavy. The
range has been fully stocked for a

There seems to be some misunder-
standing ON the part of few stock
owners as to the distribution of the

alleged that outside owners have been
given preference over stockmen with
