To him, h su). It is not a matter of parties hut of "full linner-palls" for tbe wtrkcrs, and America has never seen the like of the present even In McKinley palmiest lays. Another convert is G. F. New burger of Jopliu, Mo., progressiit canilidate for state senator In 1912 and formerly a republican. ' He says: "I believe Woodrow Wilson when he states: 'We have not only carrietl out the pledges of our 'own party, but vvc liaic almost ompletctl the platform of the progressive party.' " . .Many old soltliers are among those coming; out in supiyort of the presilent. A. K.

After interviewing lino progressive tlelegates fnun all sect l his of th' -ountry, Owen S. Jones, progrcssiie leatler of Albany Co., N.

Progressive Tells Why He Supports Woodrow Wilson

BY ALVIN II i:VINfi. (Irogressho Candidate for Congress. ;rand Rapids. Mich., elistriet in 191 Jj. To the strict partisan, there is no greater object of contempt than the man who changes his party afliliation. I know, because I have been both the projsctive and the objective of such contempt. 1 admire stability, but I bate a rut; I revere lojalty, but I detest tbe riveteM collar. I respect leadership, but it must not put me in the shackles. I concede the propriety of organized authority, but I refuse to be tso'd by it in the slave market. .Such conviction, disease, or attitJde. whichever you wish to call it, made it very easy for me to enlist under the Roosevelt banner of 1912. I hailed him as a hero. I credited bis conduct a.s self-sacrificial, and his motive unselfish. It was as comfortint; as a Psalm of David to read from r.everidge's great speech in Chicago: "Knowing the price we must pay, the sacriliee we must make, the burdens we must carry, the assaults we must endure knowing full well the cost yet we enlist, and wt enlist for the war, for we know the justice of our cause, and we know, too, its certain triumph." Kmtcknl Inte a Coe-ked Hat. This prophetic vision was knocked into a cocked hat in Ju.st exactly four years. The eye of the head and the eye of the heart, rightly focused, perceive ideals. Roosevelt reassured us when h said: "I will never abandon the principles to which we progressives have pledged ourselves and I will never abandon the men and women who drew around me to battle for those principles. They and I stand with our faces toward the morning; we will never be sundered from one another, and we will never yield the ground vc have taken or flinch from the tluht to which we are pledged." We progressives accepted these words at their par value. Yet we find the men who gave expression to them accepting: the protection of the enemy's trenches today. Yes, sir, the trenches of the very enemy they condemned to death in 1912. As late as .Sept. CO, 1014, Colonel Roosevelt said at Ray City, Mich.: "If 50 years hence the progressive part haa fallen under the control of men like Mr. Barnes, Mr. Penrose, Mr. .Smoot, the Individuals who stole the convention here two years ago. and their like, and my children and grandchildren do not leave it, I will turn over in my urave." Evidently the colonel did not like the looks of his political offspring at the age of four years, so he had it sufTocated in order that his "children and grand children" might be saved the knowledge of the brat's parentage, and he, permitted to He, unturned in his grave. The Colonel's sincerity at Issue. Who could have imagined that within two years Colonel Roosevelt would be occupying the "same dugout with the very felons whom he accused of committing grand larceny in the day time of the republican convention in 1912? The colonel's sincerity is at issue. For four years the republicans attacked, denounced and hated Roosevelt, while we defended and lauded, both sides carried their point. For four months the progressives have been willing to concede that the colonel is just as insincere and untrustworthy as the republicans painted him during the preceding four years, and the republicans pretend to hail him as the hero and "the man of the hour," which the progressives formerly claimed for him. Incidentally, both sides intuitively distrust him, because his actions dnot square with his words. Not since he entered public life, until now has it been possible for Colonel Roosevelt to make his appearance before a throng of people without being cheered to the echo. That Rattle Crock Throng. I am told by one personally present at the recent Hattle Creek rally that, although a large number of people congregated at the depot when his train pulled in, there was not so much as a hand of applause when he expectantly made his appearance upon the platform. And the 50.000 persons summoned on red posters to meet the colonel at "Jattle Creek, dwindled, as a matter of un-

j published fact, to an undersized cir-

J cu.s crowd.

H-w have the mighty failen? Hut w hat else could be expected 7 The

i following words of the colonel which i were cheered to the echo at Hay

City, are still ringing in our ears: "Tbc standpat delegates represented nothing whatever but successful swindling, successful theft, that is all. And these people ask us to come together with them! We will come together with them in exactly the sense that a policeman conies together with a burglar." I have been seriously pondering of late, which of the two personages Colonel Ilooseelt conceived himself to be. In the lUht of subsequent events, having seen the republican strong arm reach out and take him, we are disposed to let it go that the colonel was not the policeman. What the ITegrossiCs Miss. As corroborative of the admission, and on taking Inventory, the j.nresshes who enlisted to follow the colori'l to the "lat ditch." as Ion: h.i a manly light was waged, rind that they have missed these valuables: We have been robbed ef our " hero." We charge the republican party with the robbery, and Colonel ltoosevelt as accessory before the fact. We have been roblsl of an ideal in politics, and its disappearance was timed with the retreat of Col-

The choicest line of millinery, footwear. Muff and furs. Are undeniably conferred upon the buy guys Who unremittingly pursue the methods which are wi?e. Rut after all, the tallest pay our efforts ever lind Is generous approval from the fellow mortal's mind. We love the approbation of the total social group. We like to hear the masses heave a round resounding wh op: "Hurrah for Mr. Johnnie Jones, who is. we all declare, A citizen of handsome parts, of talent rich and rare!" The beauty of your wife you should resourcefully commend. Nor leave that pleasant duty to an enterprising friend. The worthy politicians who have served you long end well You should endorse with vigorous and energetic yell. And if you are a reader of this unromantic verse. Please write and tell the aut ior that you've heard of something worse.

HE'LL HAVE TO CSE THE WANT ADS. Sir: Since election time draws nigh, let's change the question, "What would you have done, Mr. Hughes, if you were president", and make it read, "What will you do.

onel Roosevelt from the battlefield of Armageddon. We have been .robbed of a hope that a new era in the political welfare of this country was in the dawning, and we charge the loss to the invisible government at Oyster Ray, which ordered the conspirators at Chicago to close the doors of the convention hall and turn on the gas. We have been robbed of confidence in leadership of men, and we charge the moral crime to the trustee of our faith, who promised us not to "flinch from the light to which we are pledged." and then delloerately attempted to lead us into the enemy's camp as captives while trying to make It appear that we were captors. Won't Follow The Colonel. Having been betrayed by him as general-in-chlef of the progressive forces, we decline to follow Col. Roosevelt as lieutenant of a candidate whose sole eligibility to the office he seeks wa his acceptability to the man who ha so Ignominiously forfeited our confidence. Forgetting, if we can, the handicap of the Roosevelt suprort under which Mr. Hughes is laboring, we fail to find any primal meritorious reason for supporting Mr. Hughes. The word "republican," carries with it no particular charm and the word "democrat" carries with it no particular terror. We admire noble achievement. Mr. Hughes, as governor of NewYork, did no more to commend him to progressives, or entitle him to a claim on the presidency, than elid Mr. Wilson as governor of New Jersey. As candidates, we find Mr. Wilson standing upon his record of achievement. He does not mince matters. He has let the people into his confidences. He has had heretofore unknown conditions to meet. He has been compelled to blaze newpaths and set new paces, and he has met the crises with a dignity becoming a Washington, and a patience becoming a Luncoln. Iii. motives have been high and his patriotism pure, and his deeds have been in harmony with the best and most progressive thought of the dav. He has shown his hand. He is not bluffing. An Fstlmatc of Mr. Hughes. On the other hand, we find Mr. Hughes attacking the hand which is doinff its very best under the most

trying circumstances to safeguard "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." honorably and without committing this country to the hell in convention assembled in Europe. We find Mr. Hughes willir.g to discredit the good name of our country' abroad and to weaken the hand of the administration in diplomatic circles in order to gain favor with the war cods, ammunition vendors, party collar-wearers and craven politicians at home. We see htm declining- to express a single conviction except that Wilson should be defeated. makin? evasive answers to fair and direct questions, dodging issues and talking in high-sounding and long-distance glittering generalities. He refuses to show his hand. He is bluffing. Itcas ns for Re-lUeH'tiiig Mr. Wilson. We also find the Wilson administration replete with progressive and constructive legislation. The only reason in the world why we are not at this moment in the throes of a destructive panic is the operation and effect of the federal reserv? act. That piece of legislation alone, say-

Snsr nothing of many others of sound economic value, saying nothing of the friendly attitude toward hurr.anitarltinim. as against com mercialism. saying nothing of leg

islation helpful to labor and rural prosperity, and saying nothing of the impropriety of "changing horses while crossing a stream," ought, for the sake of the welfare and happiness of the country, to reelect Woodrow Wilson.

tf ranees of the former, full of hate and bitterness for CJermany; of Hushes' congratulations to Teddy over his violent Main speech, which however, was only a prelude to his "skin 'em alive" Rattle Creek attack on Prcs't Wilson and (Jermany. The election of Hughes would mean the appointment of Roosevelt to an otiice of responsibility where he would be a "power behind the throne", ready to urge war on Germany on the slightest provocation, for he i.s already in fighting trim. If, perchance, we should escape war with the Teutons another way under all probability would shortly Ve opened up for him to thow his spleen against that, nation.

The war will not last four .'-ears more. The United States, beyond a question, will be called on to suggest terms of peace for the heiliger- ' t nts at the cl'e of the contest. Can Germany expect fairness from such a bitter enemy as Roosevelt? He x.ould brook no interference with his desire to humiliate and punish Germany for what he thinks her part in the war was. Rut even with Roosevelt eliminated (if such a tiling was possible with Hushes a.s president) in the peace conference, could tlermany hope for anything better from Hughes? Hughes is Wall st.'s candidate and Wall st. is turning heaven and earth to elect him. Wall st. has loaned billions of dollars to Rngland and Wall st. will demand trat England receives the first and best consideration when peace negotiations are made. As Hughes has always been subservient to Wall st. and big interests, he would not forsake his inclination and obligations to serve bis masters. but would use the cilice of president of the United States to award England the "hi--Kest slKe" in the peace terms, no Wall st.'s loan would be better safeguarded. Rev. T. Heineke of Dubuque, la., a recognized leader of German thought and for a Ions time severely critical of Pies't Wilson, recently wrote: "1 am ashamed to confess tha.t 1 have misjudged the president. None of the pro-ally re-' publican press doubts for a moment 1 that Hughes is just as pro-ally as, his spokesman, Roosevelt. That the republican party intends' to use the German note merely asj a catspaw in this campaign. j I fear when the game is up, Ger-! man voters will regret to see that! they have been 'sold' if they vote '

the republican ticket," German-Americans who still hold an affection for the country of their birth had better "let well enough alone" and use their influence on Nov. 7th to return Pres't

THF GL7RMAN-AMKRICAX IX THIS CAMPAIGN. Editor News-Times: One can readily understand why a German-Americein who still loves her Fatherland can be aggrieved at Germany's inability to supply herself with American goods, but one cannot so readily understand why he should be aggrieved at Pres't Wilson because he does not prevent the sale of American goods to the allies. Our markets are open to the world, including Germany. The United States is not responsible for England's naval power which permits it to clear the seas of its enemy's merchant vessels. The Goddess of Justice would not look with favor upon a neutral nation closing its markets to a belligerent country because it had an advantage over its foe's means of transportation. So it would have teen decidedly unreutral for Pres't Wilson to have placed an embargo on the shipment ot American merchandise, including munitions of war, to the allies during this war. Such an act would have been equivalent to taking sides with Germany. The kaiser has let it be known that he considered Pres't Wilson within his neutral rights in permitting the exportation of war material to his enemies. Pres't Wilson's neutrality and fairness were demonstrated in his treatment of the Deutschland when in our port. It vill be remembered how insistent Knland was that this craft should be classed as a war vessel and interned by the United States, but findirg nothini? to warrant such classification she received the same consi ieration as every ether foreign merchantman had; her crew enjoyed the same privileges English crews had; her return cargo was not censoved, inspected nor interferred with in the least and due courtesy was shown her officers who. on arriving at their home port bestowed great praise upon America. It will be rec?lled how the recent visit of the submarine, U-5C, to our eastern coaU stirred up England's ire at this "intrusion", and because this government does not take steps to prevent a recurrence of such visitation, we are charged by the English press with being unneutral and favoring Germany. Knowing that th-i did nothing in conflict with international law Pres't Wilson igr. ored Kngland's interference with oar affairs. German-Amerieans now have only an imaginary grievance against Pres't Wilson. should Hughes be elected they would soon have a sure-enough, real, genuine, "unadulterated and undiluted" grievance rankling- in their breasts. They cannot be unmindful of the statements made by Koos velt and Hughes, early In the campiign, that thf-y understood each other; of the ut-
