DAVID LUBIN ADVOCATES RE-ELECTION OF WILSON

Father of American Rural Credits Another Leading Republican to Join President’s Standard. David Lubin, founder of the International Institute of Agriculture and father of the rural credits movement in America, has joined the list of prominent Republicans openly advocating the re-election of President Wilson. Within a fortnight Thomas A. Edison, Luther Burbank and Henry Ford, all Republicans and men of international .fame, have made similar declarations. David Lubin Is a wealthy California farmer. His interest in securing a

square deal for the farmer led him to make research abroad, and out of his efforts grew the International Institute of Agriculture at Rome. This institution does for the staples of agriculture of the world what the American Chamber of Commerce does for the products of the American manufacturer. Through his connection with the International Institute of Agriculture Mr. Lubin became interested in the rural credit systems of Europe and led the movement which resulted in the passage of the Rural Credits by the Wilson Administration. Just before departing for Italy, recently, Sir. Lubin authorized an interview of 4,000 words in which lie gave liis opinion of those acts of the Wilson Administration which directly affect 1 the farmer, his home and his market. This interview lias been furnished without cost to every leading farm paper in the United States. If the farmer does not read it in his farm paper it will probably be because the Editor does not care to use his col umns for discussion of economic questions and government policies that vitally affect the interest of the farmer. Mr. Lubin said: “In the application of business methods of distribution, America, until the present Administration, was about 150 years behind Germany and several decades behind the rest of Europe. And yet in the very thing in which America is backward, she should lead the world. She does not, because a clique of special interests dictated public opinion and controlled legislation through the bosses of the Republican party. So cleverly have they worked that the average man is hypnotized, his critical faculties dulled.

“President Wilson is neither Tooled nor led by this crowd. He is tireless, patientr far-seeing. He has a historic sense of the past, a sympathetic sense of the present and a prophetically spiritual sense yf the future. While his head is above the clouds, ids feet are always upon the earth. He is Idealistic on the one side, on the other practical. He ts a good business man. “He knows that good politics and good economics are the same thing He is fearless; in all my relations with him. direct or indirect. I fail to find anything or anybody he is afraid of.’ When you want a real good lead pencil—something better than you can get elsewhere—try the pencils for sale in the fancy stationery department at The Democrat office.

HOW YOU GET SICK Sometimes you overload your stomach with rich foods. Your life may be an active one, and thus you may care for all you eat. But a few days of inactivity show your system does not call for so much. . You awake in the morning tired. Your body feels heavy; you know you are not up to the mark. Your digestion has not cared for the overload. Part of it remains. It generates gas that inflames the delicate linings. They fail to pour out the digestive fluids and neglect to absorb the life-giving elements. You know something is wrong. Your body gets weak, and soon opportunity is offered for some severe illnes. Taken in .time, the indigestionwould not become serious. First remove the overload; then soothe the sore membranes; then build up the weakened body. It’s simple to say, but not too easy to do.

AUTHOR OF THE HUGHES SLUMP IS ONE HUGHES

T ( . » ,j _rf (• / Fifty-Three Big Newspapers of the Country Desert Hughes in Wilson Landslide. WILSON STRONGER EACH DAY • Geeat Independent Vote of Country Has Made Known That It Is Going to Indorse the Record of Woodrow_ Wilson.

BY WILLIS S. THOMPSON

Indianapolis, Oct. 28.—1 n the closing days of the campaign, coming with the rush of voters to the Wilson banner, fifty-three of the large newspapers of the country that have been trying to sustain Hughes have given up the job. They find him absolutely impossible and have stated good and sufficient reasons for changing to the Wilson cause.

On the subject of the landslide which is apparent in all states of the Union and which the Republicans are spending millions to try and head off the New York Times says:

“The Republican slump has ended and the pendulum is now on the hack swing.” To hear some of the politleal outgivings one would suppose that the American people spent their time between conventions and elections cuperiug once a week from one candidate to the other, with no particular excuse gayety of heart and love of frolic. A slump this week, a boom next week, a pendulum dancing backward and forward over the map without rhyme or reason; more slumps, more booms, more “trends,” the pendulum becomes delirious, and on the day after election the politicians announce that there never was any doubt how the election would go, and that the silent vote did it.

The truth that underlies this sort of thing is not in the least mysterious and Is quite simple. In June the Republicans believed that they were surely going to win. The Democrats were afraid it might prove to be true. The Progressives bad been brought back into the Republican party by superhuman efforts on Colonel Roosevelt’s part, a strong candidate-had been named, and the Democratic party was to he put on the run and kept there; these were the beliefs that accounted for the Republican expectation. This expectation they Confidently entertained throughout September, In October evidences from all over the country indicated that the expectation had insufficient basis. There jvas everywhere a growing indication of lukewarmness toward the ticket, which soon became coldness, and this was manifested first among the Progressive rank and file and then among the Republican. This was called, on both sides, “the Republican slump.” It still exists, and the coldness Is increasing to such an extent os to cast* doubt, in the official Republican mind, on the possibility "of electing the ticket. The slump is due chiefly to one thing—the speeches of Mr. Hughes. The strong candidate has been ns weak as water on everything the voters wanted to hear about. He was over-estimated at the beginning, and the disappointment was greater than it would have been in tlie case of a man from whom less had been expected. The Democrats over-rated him, and planned a Wimpnign of a different character from the one .they have actually carried on. The Progressives over-rated him, and their disappointment manifests itself in a manner which reveals as much anger and contempt as coldness. The Republicans overrated him, and their disappointment shows Itself in the discouragement and dishearten inent which is nicknamed "the slump.” Nowhere else can the blame be placed. There is no “apathy” in tlie campaign. The voters are alive with interest, and the registration is large. The Republicans weie eager to rally round an Inspiring leader. In the summer it was generally assumed that they had the better chance. The inspiration did not come, the leader did not lead, he only talked, and talked in a way to chill Ills admirers. Paralysis fell on the enthusiasm tnat was waiting and eager to be ignited. Meanwhile the Progressives, never any too much delighted witli the situation, ate not content to be merely cold and disheartened, like the Republicans. They become openly rebellious. “We have sold our party for a mess of Americanism, and We are not getting the Americanism.” we read in The Rocky Mountain News. William Allen White announced the other day that he had “one keen cutter knife, one tomahawk, one rapid-fire gun, one mountain howitzer, and one-tractor land battleship,” and that his artillery “was landed and planted ready to begin operation Nov. 8,” the day after election. Victor Murdock, waiting until late in October for the slightest glimmer of reason for supporting Hughes, which he would have been glad to seize upon, now sadly comes out for Wilson-and the state Republican ticket. This is the history of the great slump In October from the aggressive and dashing hopes of June. It is not a case of the pendulum swinging backward and forward. It is a case of the moving finger, wliicb, having writ, move's on. The finger which wrote the slump into the Republican campaign was the finger of Charles E Hughes.

Making Himself Clear.

“Now rises the Secretary of the Treasury to complain that I have not said what I would have done after the sinking of the Lusitania. I repeat that the Lusitania would not have been sunk if I had been President.” —Charles Evans Hughes at Youngstown, 0.

The New York World calls attention to the interview of Jim Hemenway when he returned from California the other day and announced that Hughes would carry the State. In answer to this they give a poll of 156 delegates to the California State Federation of Labor. In this poll the candidates stood: Wilson, 145; Hughes, 4; ciaiist, 1; non-committal. 6.

BUSINESS ECONOMY.

Senator Thomas Taggart has stood against waste and for things all the people want.

GOODRICH’S CANDIDACY.

Mr. Goodrich, the Republican nominee for Governor, has become immensely wealthy through ownership of public utilities and receiverships of railways. Mr. Goodrich has satisfied every want that money can satisfy and now he would like to be Governor. In pursuance of that end he has laid down a platform of “reforms” that he would carry out. Not a plank in his platform is in the interest of men. Every one of them is in the interest of property. Workmen’s compensation laws, vocational education, better poor relief, legislation to make farm life more agreeable, improved housing laws—none of these things which have occupied Democratic legislatures for the last six years has any place in his program. His only thought is for the men who has—how he may get more. The men and women and children of Indiana as human beings mean nothing to him. The only class that enters his vision is the property owner. Has he a single word of sympathy for the poor and distressed? On the other hand, his chief stock in trade is to rotten egg institutions like Woodmere for making the'property owning classes pay the extravagant sum of 6% cents a meal for their inmates. Jim Goodrich doesn’t want to be Governor of Indiana. lie wants to be director of the mint. And in watching the coining of money he would be perfectly happy.—The Evansville Courier, October 21, 1916.

LET’S TALK ABOUT IT.

Mr. Goodrich is still lambasting Democrats for paying six cents a meal to feed unfortunate patients in the Central Hospital for the Insane. But he has said never a word about that Republican state debt of $2,609,000 which the Democrats have paid. He has said less about the balance of $2,149,000 which the Democrats had on hand September 30, 1916, and nary a cent of debt.

NOT EASILY SCARED.

“The Democrats are hoping to win a larger part of the labor vote this year than they can psually land. They have a stronger case than is usual. This need not be denied,” says the Chicago Tribune. “A steady job at good pay is what the wage earner must have first. * * * There' is now prosperity everywhere and work for everyone.” Then the editor launches into a two column editorial holding up the Hughes scarecrow “after the war” and proclaiming a high tariff the only thing. In 1912 and 1914 the Tribune wanted a tariff commission and wanted lo take tariff out of politics.

TARIFF IS OUT OF PULITICS, POLITICS IS OUT OF TARIFF

Democrats Did It By Creating Tariff Commission to Meet All Needs. ‘AFTER THE WAR’ CARED FOR Wilson Administration Has Provided In Business Way to Protect America, Whether War or Peace Prevails Anywhere on Earth.

BY WILLIS S. THOMPSON

Indianapolis, Oct. 28.—The tariff question has been a partisan one for a century. The Dingley act of 1897 became so odious by 1908 that the Republican party, in its national convention, promised a downward revision. On that promise they retained power. In 1909 the lobbyists gathered at Washington and foisted on the country the disgraceful PayneAldrich act, which betrayed the people by raising still higher the Dingley rates. The election of 1910 punished this base dishonor by sweeping out of congress nearly all its Republican membership. Even Ohio went 80,000 Democratic.

On Wilson’s election a Democratic congress passed the Underwood act without participation by a lobby. Of course, the changes wrought by time may require changes in our revenue laws. Insurgent Republicans and Progressives sought in vain for a nonpartisan tariff commission to make a scientific, impartial investigation of the whole subject and recommend all needed revisions.

At its last session congress made provision for such a commission. The tariff commission act is now a law, having been signed by President Wilson on September 8, 1916. Six commissioners are to be appointed, with salaries the same as United States senators. Not more than three shall be members of one political party. The commission is given the broadest power imaginable in the selection of experts to assist in making the most thorough investigation possible, at home and abroad, of the cost of manufacture of goods, with its effect on industry, labor and revenues. Three hundred thousand dollars for 1917, and the same for each year thereafter, is appropriated for the use of the commission in making its investigations and reports.' No commission was ever invested with broader powers, and it must report its investigations to the President and congress each year. Because of this each member of congress, new and old, can avail himself at each session of all needed information, and just alterations of schedules will be made without any Mulhall lobbyists supervising the operation. The tariff is no longer a partisan question. It will be a scientific one, with all available information presented to congressmen by the commission, some schedules of the present law are or may hereafter be too low, they can and will be raised without any partisan clamor or unholy graft. The Democrats passed this law. You can get a copy of it by writing to the Bureau of Commerce at Washington.

DOUGLAS FOR 8-HOUR LAW.

Former Governor of Massachusetts Defends Act on Principle. W. L. Douglas, Brockton, Mass., shoe manufacturer, has given an interview in which he sets forth what the Wilson administration has accomplished and prges the re-election of the President. Mr. Douglas, who was elected Governor of Massachusetts by the largest majority ever given a Democrat in that state, said of the Adamson eight-hour law: “It was the only thing that the president could have done. The law is founded on right principle when applied to industries as a whole, doing an interstate business, and is hound to prevail. Not all people realize the great service President Wilson rendered the country by putting the eight-hour question squarely up to congress. Their action prevented a great railroad strike. If congress had not settled the strike I believe that most of the industries throughout this country would have had to close down. Two days before the law was passed this factory could ngt ship goods owing to the embargo placed on all freight. The necessities of life would have shot up in price and famine and mobs would hav£ been rampant throughout the land. “The eight-hour act is only a part ot the President’s recommendations to be considered by congress in December. The President plans to harmonize the differences between capital and labor and make strikes impossible.”

REASON ENOUGH.

“Why are you such an admirer of Woodrow Wilson?” one woman asked her neighbor at a movie show when she had joined in the tremendous ovation to the President’s picture. “Because I am the mother of four fine boys and every one of them is at home with me, instead of being shot *t ic the trenches simply because norm foolish man as President wants At fight with somebody.”

HELPING WILSON.

“WILSON MOVED CAPITOL BACK FROM WALL STREET”

"Thank God He Is a 100 Per Cent Man,” Declares Leader of Women's Movement. In contrast to the Hughes junket of Wall Street’s womenfolk, comes this Indorsement of President Wilson from a woman * who has achieved great things, and Is a leader of the real feminist movement.

By Helen Ring Robinson

(State Senator of Colorado.) • I am not with the Woman’s Party. My opposition to its propaganda is based on the fact that I am working, twelve months in the year, to get the ballot for all American women. My experience of practical politics has taught me, among other things, that the Congressional Union is being used, at the present time, as a tool by the forces in this country which have fought, and will continue to fight, equal suffrage. I am for Wilson because, throughout his Administration, he has continuously made his appeal from the jingling of dollars to the rights of man. I am for Wilson because he moved the Capitol of the country from Wall Street back to Washington, and because he has withstood the forces, now back of Hughes, who have sought to remove it to Berlin. I am for Wilson because he has Indeed shown himself “more interested in the fortune of oppressed men and pitiful women and children”—whether in Mexico or in America —than in his own personal fortune. Thank God he is not “a hundred per cent candidate,” but a hundred per cent MAN! I am for Wilson because, whatever his fortune at the coming election, his achievements have given him a supreme place in the list of American

presidents; because his voice, during all those burdened years, has been tiie clear, old-time voiccjof America—the voice that to some of us had seemed muted and overborne by class hatreds and racial hatreds, and the snarling scramble for dividends. However the coming election may turn, the pages of American history which President Wilson has written these past four years will be forever illumined with the white light of stars, and our children and grandchildren will indeed have cause to thank God for Woodrow Wilson. The Republicans don’t like the prevailing prosperity. It’s Democratic and therefore taboo. Give them a chance and they’ll put it out of business.

MARSHALL JUSTIFIES WORD.

Republican v newspapers and campaign speakers have been attempting to make capital out of the charge that Vice-President Marshall referred contemptuously to the Civil Service as the “Snivel’’ Service. Here are the facts stated by Mr. Marshall in a signed statement from Cincinnati: The phrase was not used with reference to the merit system, which I heartily favor, hut was in condemnation- of Republican hypocrisy of that Party’s use of the law and its unjust criticism of Wilson's appointments.
