GEN. GRANT'S SON IS FOR WILSON

Io Open Letter He Says Issues This Year Are Similar to Those ol 1860.

PRINCIPLES FATHER UPHELD.

Sama Problem Today, Writes Jesse R. Grant, In Choosing Between People and the Interests. Jesse R. Grant, sou of General Ulys ses S. Grant, commander in chief of the Union army in the civil war andRepublican president of the United States from ISG9 to 1877. links the generation of war veterans and the young voters of today in the following appeal, made public by him at his home in New York: To the Voter. Especially the New Voter: We are facing the sth of November issues of momentous importance to the future of the United States. Shall the old order of things continue? Shall our economic life be determined—shall our government continue to be domi nated by the thoughts, the desires and the interests of those who have l»een the principal beneticiaries of that government's patronage or shall the power of government be handed back to the whole people to be admiiiisteivd

for their common good? It was a similar issue fifty-two years ago, when there arose from out of Illinois a new leader, who held human rights to be greater than property rights, whose thoughts were not the old thoughts, whose vision of justice had not been clouded by association with the ruling Interests. We are at the threshold of a new period of transition. Shall the door be blocked by men who cannot see ahead? Shall we elect to follow men who, while clothed with official power, nur tured privilege and fostered monopoly and who now propose nothing better than to legalize and regulate monopoly and make us live under it the rest of our lives? The New Leader. Or shall we call tc leadership a new man from the outside, from the ranks of the people, in sympathy with their lives and their ideals, holding their viewpoint, consecrated to their serv ice? Such a man is Woodrow Wilson. As a son of the soldier who fought to uphold the principles for which Abraham Lincoln stood and as a son of a Republican president. 1 can see only one duty for myself—to give heartily my influence and my vote for principle and not for the name of a party long since divorced from its sympathy for the common man. Verily, I believe that the principles for which Woodrow Wilson is fighting are the principles for which my father fought, and that he alone among the presidential candidates measures up to the standards of courage, conscience and capacity of the leader whose hand my father helped to uphold. Old voters, as well as new. I beg of you not to be deceived by names and prejudices. Open your minds to the truth and vote in its light.

UNCLE IS WONDERING
