GIFFORO PlflCHOT TELLS WHY HE BACKS HUGHES

"At a Progressive I believe In nationalism. SowJoes Hughes. I am cer lain that under Hughes the progressive policies will fare better than' under Wilson, and that the safety, honor and welfare of the country will be In Immeasurably surer hands." Declaring. In the foregoing phrase, his convictions and Intentions tn tho presidential campaign, Glfford Pinchot. militant progressive. Issued a public letter yesterday declaring he will work and vote for Hughes. In view of his record as an exponent of conservation and as a foe of reaction , and all that Ballingerism meant during the last Republican administration. Mr. Plnchot's declaration is likely to attract as wide attention among the Progressive and independent voters as did, the statement of Raymond Robins In behalf of Mr Hughes a few weeks ago. Duty is Up to Citizens

"It is the duty of every American

citizen," Mr. Plnchot says'to make and support openly his choice among the candidates for the presidency. That duty is especially solemn this

year because great events and great

decisions are certain to confront us during the next administration. "I am neither a Democrat nor a Republican, but a Progressive. Yet, there Is no Progressive nominee, un

less I choose to support a candidate

who cannot be elected, I must vote for either Wilson or Hughes. "For many months after his Inauguration I thought well of President Wilson. In many respects I liked what be said about what he was going to do. He talked well and made a good Impression. It was only when I began to check up what he eald by what he did that I was forced to change my view. "In the end I came to see that President Wilson has a greater power than any other man in public life to say one thing but do another and get away with It. Says Wilson's Policy Is Weak "The facts which justify this statement are common knowledge. "We have all heard him tell Germany publicly that she would be held to strict accountability and have learned . afterward that he had actually let her know secretly at the time by the mouth of his secretary of state through the Austrian ambassador, that what he said he did not mean. : We have all seen him prove that he did not mean It by his total failure to I exact reparation, apology, or ever dis

avowal for the murder of Americans on the Lusitanla. . "I do not say that Wilson should have thrust us Into war. There was no need of war. But there was need of courage to give us peace with selfrespect. If Wilson had shown courage

this country 'would not have skidded from one crisis to the next, again and again, narrowly escaping disaster. "We have all heard him declare against Intervention in Mexico while actually intervening - to dictate who should and who should not hold office there; and denounce war against Mexico while actually engaged in war. "With war on every side of us, we all heard him. In his second annual message, solemnly assure the country that we had not been negligent of national defense. It was not true; and later on he himself proved that it was not true by proclaiming aloud the need for. what he had solemnly assured us we already had. "For more than . a year after . the world war began Wilson did not raise

a 'finger to put us in condition of defense. Only the proverbial, good luck of America has kept us from paying the bitterest price for his unforgivable neglect. Greater Navy Ridiculed.

"We have all heard him ridicule the Idea of a greater navy, then declare for incomparably the greatest navy in the world, and then go back on that. "We have all heard him declare for exempting our coastwise trade from tolls In the Panama canal, and have seen him show our own people and the English that he did not mean it. "We have seen him elected on a platform which pledged him to a single term as president, and then become a candidate for another term. "We have all heard him declare for the conservation of our natural resources, and have seen him neglect that policy and refuse his help to defeat the Shields water power bill, the most dangerous attack on conservation since Ballinger's effort to turn Alaska over to the Guggenheims. Accused of Extravagance "We have all heard him declare for efficiency In government, and have seen him set the pork barrel first and throw efficiency away. I have known official Washington from the inside for six administrations; in that time the government business has never been so badly done and so extravagantly as It is now done under Wilson. "We have all heard him announce himself as the champion of civil service reform, and have seen him turn the government departments over to the spoilsmen as no other president has done in twenty years. , "We. have all heard him declare for pitiless publicity, and have seen him conduct the most secret admlnlstrar tion of our time. "We have all heard him announce himself as president of all the people, and have seen him, as the most partisan president of his generation, flout and oppose the Progressives, whom now, because he needs them, he seeks to conciliate and enlist.

"Worst of all Is this: When every principle of freedom and equality for which our fathers fought was at stake in the great war, when - our whole country eagerly awaited the leadership of the president, Wilson dodged. He refused to take sides on the greatest moral Issue of our time. He advised our people to be neutral even in thought,undecided between right and wrong. -'While our friends abroad were

fighting for the principles we held

equally with them he taught us that profits and . ease were better than self-respect. President Wilson has done our nation the most serious inJury that any leader can do to any people, by making us flinch with him from a great moral decision. Thereby he weakened our hold as a nation on the principles - which alone can make any people self-respecting, safe and strong. ".- - . Contradict Former Speeches "Having led us wrong on the ground that we must be neutral in the face of the deliberate breaking of :, the

world's peace, he has just reversed himself again, and in his speech at

Shadow Lawn now assures us that 'No

nation can' any longer remain neutral

as against any willful disturbance of

the peace of the world. ' "It is bad enough that Wilson's for

eign policy has left us, as the Euro

pean war draws toward its end, without a friend among the great nations of the world and without the respect of any one of them. What is worse, is that he has kept us from standing up for what we know to be right. "The ignoble standard of profit over principle which Mr. Wilson forced upon the country in our foreign relations he has applied to himself as president. In what he has said, done, and left undone the record shows him steadily dominated by political expediency. Assails Wilson's Vacillation. "These facts, and many others like them, have' forced me to see that what Mr. Wilson says is no sign of what he has done, or of what he will do. The one thing his record shows is that what he stands for now he is not likely to stand for long. I do not care what bis platform or his campaign declarations may be, because the common experience of us all has taught us that to him they are simply 'molases to catch flies.' "Hughes, on the other hand, is a man of his word. His record as governor of New York proves that. It shows him to be honest, fearless, and free from the domination of special interests and corrupt politicians. So far as the conservation policies are concerned,, both what he said and what he did could hardly have been better. I am confident that . under him these policies will be safe. -'.'. "He is a strong man who will dodge no moral issues, and he will give us an honest and an efficient administration. Cannot Vote For Wilson. "As a Progressive I believe In

nationalism. So does Hughes. I am certain that under Hughes the progressive policies will fare better than under Wilson, and that the safety,

honor, and welfare of the -country will be in immeasurably surer hands. , I cannot vote for Wilson because I cannot trust him. He does not do what be says. Hughes does. Therefore, my choice is Hughes, and I shall work and vote for him. "Glfford Pinchot." .
