say:
"'PrcsIdent Wilson has deeply at
heart the welfare of the Industrious
people. In UNFOLDING the dignity of
lnis office he may have appear j to some
j,o be cold and aloof. But nothing is
Further from the tGuth. He's the warm

Inc feels for them and desires to inn

"I hope every workinGman who

Iployers of the Industrious will take

with MIR Ford and Mr. Edison i'm be
lieving that no voter in this country
should put party before country. The
same thing is true of more engineers
land scientists and thinkers than ever
before. They have broken away from
lparty. and in this world crisis see in
Wilson the hope Of obtaining Amer
lean rights without swaShbucklinE and
|jngoism. They believe in peace. and
They know that Wilson would MAIN
tain peace only with honor. War, UNI
less to protect our dearest rights, would
Ibo n crime, and the peace-loving people
|of America look to Wilson as their
hope Every American knows that he
lis too proud to fight Il cripple or a
child, hut would give them n helping
hand. but that when the rights OF his
Icountry are involved. he has been the
first President to make adequate prep
IaratiOn to defend these rights of the
nation. Roosevelt failed to do this
Taft failed to do it. 1t remained for
Wilson to make this necessary prepa-
ration by the largest navy and army
bills over passed by any session Of
Congress.
