':, President.
Washington, Nov. 4. Rev. Jenkiq
Lloyd Jones, the eminent Chtoago pss
tor, politically an independent, has
written a letter to Glfford plnchot,
setting forth his reasons for support
Ins President Wilson. - This serves as
an answer to a letter from Plnchot,
which, the latter asked to have printed
In- Unity, a - publication edited Jty
Jones. - -'. S?
The Chicago minister expresses his
reasons for voting for Wilson. In these
words: ' , :.;'
"Whatever the faults of President
Wilson mar be, he has maintained the
academic dignity of a man of thought
If not through his Word and work,
then through those of his rivals. -He
has brought the eight-hour day to the
front and greatly hastened its ad
vance. He . has lifted the child of
the cotton mills and elsewhere out of
its crippling slavery. , . .- . . -"He
has Incurred the displeasure
and distrust of the capitalistic crowds
who know of no higher appeal to the
American voter than the argument of
a 7ull dinner pall.' and, who In the
face of tbeae .high, iaaues are striving
to inject into the campaign the obso
lete clamor of 'tariff protection,'
which as a political party issue is an
addled egg in a last year's bird's nest.
"The Intelligent lr all parties agree
that tariff intricacies can only be set
tled by a non-partisan tariff commis
sion of experts, devoting thema&Jves
perpetually to the atudy of the prob
lems Involved."
Such a commission was created by
congress at the Instance of President
Wilson. - ' , . , v
