Support Him.

NEW YORK, October / (by the As
ISOLATED Press).-Ten reasons why
| former service men should support the
democratic national ticket. prepared
! by Gov. Cox. We're made public here
by the democratic national commit
| tee.
| The ten arguments were included by
| the democratic presidential candidate
in the following letter to the Ar
/ gonne Post Weekly of Des Moines,
| Iowa:
There are no ten reasLO nor, in
! deed any other number o. reasons
why former service man should be
either a hidebound republican or
democratic partisan. 1 cannot refrain
| from uttering my sentiments on this
point before proceeding.
"Uncompromising partfsa nship would
! dry up the well springs of that
| made America. 1t would make men
slaves to those who formulate the
| party policy and would forever stag
nate the intellectual development of
our people.
II believe in political parties and I
affiliated myself with the democratic
| party because ! have agreed with it's
tenets as to government. | shall.
therefore. with your pardon. give you
1.-THE ten reasons why an ex-service
man should support the democratic
can nd idates:
Progressive Principles.
Because they have constantly talk
ed the broadcast principles of progress
sive development conforming to the
spirit of the century for independent
political judgment.
Because it's candidates have never
said and never believed that senti-
ment recently uttered by Senator
Harding. when he said. too much is
heard of independence in politics.
Because in this year the democrat
ic party represents She honor of the
country, because it believes in keep
ing faith with the living and faith
with the dead. faith with our allies
and faith with our foes.
Because the democratic party
stands for league of nations. the
existing league to end war. to COM
pose differences by adjustment of
wrongs through the processes of
world opinion.
Because it would have America
assume it's rightful place at the head
of the nations of the world. unafraid
to take its place as leader.
World Looks to League.
Because only through the league
of nations can order be brought to the
world and because the failure of the
| league will cause us to revert to in
| ternational anarchy, huge competitive
! ornaments. which are the inevitable
breeder of war
Because the democratic candidates
despise to appeal to racial bigotry.
! Because the republican party lead
ers have unblushingly appealed to
the disloyalists of the United States
and are unashamed to hold their
lpower in the United States Senate by
reason of the vote of a man found
guilty of violating the law in obtain
ling his seat in that body, Senator Tru-
man H Newberry of Michigan.
Because the democratic administra.
ton wrote into the laws of the coun.
try the federal reserve act, the farm
loan act and other pieces of legisla-
ton that enabled it to muster the re.
sources of the country at critica
\ time so that all Americans, regardless
of party, might win the greatest OF
iaIl wars for humanity and for high
principles.
Because Notwithstanding that
many conditions are not ideal, Amer
lea is at this hour the safest place
lin which to live, the most desirable
and the best from every standpoint
and because it will come through pro-
Isressive evolution to still higher
plane of development despite the at
tempts of reactionaries like Senator
Harding to stop 1t.
