 r. Make Public McAdoo Letter NEW YORK. June 2S-A letter writ | ten by William G. McAdoo. in which he | appeals to all labor organizations to l exert themselves "energetically, inteni- | gently and united<~ against the re- l establishment of reaction in America 9 | was made public here tonight. The letter. under date of June 19. was in reply to a communication from John J. Mulholland, secretary of the Metal Trades Council of New York city and vicinity, which informed MT. l McAdoo that more than 145,000 wage earners represented by the council recommend you as the most popular tcilAl4talc lOI pIeSlQenI ludI the DeIn- | ocratic party could possibly name.' ''
 After thanking MT. Mulholland for the unsolicited and unexpected en- dorsement." the letter continues:
 We are facing problems in this 1 country and in the world which require not only the highest order of states manship but the most patriotic and 1 enlightened support of an intelligent 1 electorate. These questions must be
 met squarely and directly. Evasion and equivocation, appeals to blind pas sion and selfish partisanship have lost ! their magic. Men and women are
 thinking these days. and thinking deeply, and it is only that party which l has the courage to explicitly declare
 for liberal and progressive policies
 and that candidate who is fearless enough to espouse them vigorously and
 sincerely. which will command the re-
 spect and secure the votes of major
 ity of our countrymen in the coming
 election.
 "The rights of humanity must be put above the rights of property, and the
 rights of each should be protected
 within it's just limitations.
 "As I said in a recent letter to the
 Metal Trades Council of Brooklyn.
 we cannot look with compIacency or
 indifference upon the restoration to power of the selfish powers which have
 been asserting themselves with such -i vigor and volubility in America and
 throughout the world I hope there
 fore, that your organization and al organizations of labor will exert them !; selves energeticaIly, inteIligently and
 unitedly against the establishment ! of reaction in America, and in favor oi those progressive, humane and power
 full forces which truly represent the interests of the great masses of the : common people and thereby secure tc -Four country the benefits and blessings
 f-E, 7 inc democracy alone can give it.
