THURSDAY, OCTOl'.KR 12. 1910 WHY I AM FOR WILSON P.yCiKOKUK MIDDLKTON (Noted l'liivwi io'lit itiid Son-in-1. aw of Nenatur . LaFollette.) Thoujrli I am not a denuii'i'iil, I shall vote for -Wilson. No other jiresident since Lincoln has lieen con- fronted with such'interpiitional nroblems. Anv other swapping horses now. liecause il son, through four years of anguish, is more ac quainted than Hughes with all the cross-currents of our foreign relations, he should lie re-elected. It is no time to experiment with even an honest amateur in foreign affairs. The problems which will confront the world after tlic War will be monumental and to Wilson should be given the opportunity of trying to bring some order out of the chaos. 1 am convinced that Iff is so genuinely a lover of peace'that he will follow up rigorously the clauses which he had in serted in the naval appropriation bill, giving liiin power to work towards international disarmament through a world tribunal. yi ucli as I respect Hughes as a man, he goes lie fore the country without tin issue, lie is merely a critic. He has shown no constructive alternatives. And. above all, he carries no conviction in his speeches that had he been president, taking other methods than Wilson, he would have kept the country out of war. Nor can he detract one iota from the record of pro gressive legislation enacted under the present admin istration. J cannot support a supposition, 1 shall vote for i man who has had the responsibilities and who has stood the gaff.
